On another note, but elbows are fucking killing me right now from clean and press, like seriously fuck, sharp pulsating pain, need to jump into the shower and then add some serious tiger balm to it.

On September 14 2011 16:29 Risen wrote: Well I don't want to get strong. I just want to get lean again, so starting today I went with my sister to the gym. I'm actually kind of impressed how well I hung in there. Guess those all-day wrestling practices in the Vegas heat stamped a drive in the back of my head. Regardless, I'm very out of shape, and I know it. Made 5000 strides today on the elliptical in 39 minutes at resistance 5 all the way through. My goal was 5000 in 40 and I do math in my head during workouts to not focus on fatigue. Noticed that around 25 minutes in I was a good 120 strides back from where I should be so I jumped from 130ish s/m to around 140-150 the rest of the way. I feel like I could have pushed myself harder but I was dropping buckets of sweat and didn't want to overdo it on my first day back into it. The TL H&F thread has been a huge help getting motivation. Again, I don't want to bulk up so much as I don't want to be fat. I'm 6'2" and just hit 180 so I decided enough was enough. Maybe in the future I'll look into bulking up. Kind of a post without a goal, but I wanted to be self-indulgent and make a post logging where I started. 5000 in 39, new goal is 6000 in 40. Edit: Spoke to soon. My callllllveeeessss AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm 6'3, about to break 180 and I can't imagine being considered anything other than skinny at this point. I would highly recommend lifting, and counting your calories - if your goal is to be "lean" I would be willing to bet I look quite close to what you're aiming for... And up until two weeks ago, I hadn't done a minute of cardio in years. | ||

Even more when you're doing HIIT, and you're beating the living shit out of you. Everytime time your body "thinks" you're going insano on the excercise, it starts pumping shit so hard last 3 sexsions have been 30mins++ and I'm not even kidding. last time we ran out of "positions" and had to repeat some. haha. I need help tho. I wanted to start Madcow on monday, but I forgot my sheet and well, ended up doing 115kg x 3 x 5 on monday, and 80kg 3x5 BenchPress, it was nice. I do, however, want to incoportate Front Squats in teh Madcow, but the first rule here is don't fuck with the program, cause it's made that way cause it works. So how do I do this?  .I really like the style of madcow, one thing I don't like is the 1x5 heavyWeight at the end, just 1 serie? come on? . (actually, the "warmup sets" the first 4, are pretty much the same I do/did for warmups in SS Advanced, I just don't quite enjoy the 1x5 I want the numbness in my legs after 3x5 of heavy lifting.) So yes, anybody care to shed a light on little funkie's head?.Congrats Bou! you the man! is this the same girl from the gym?  ? | ||

If you set to to 2, I think, during your 2nd week, you'll go over your PR on one of the reps. I don't know about you, but I was usually very drained on the Wednesday workouts when I was on SS, so Madcow is actually quite perfect for me. I agree with you that the # of sets are pretty low, but it lets me focus more on form, I do it with the mentality that, I've got one chance to do it perfectly, let's not fuck it up. | ||

Apparently everyone on campus is deciding to have a party and i already agreed to hang out with a girl that i used to hook up with, except its gonna go something like "fuck the million parties + bars, we can watch a movie and then i'm kicking you out a midnight, i've got a LIFTING MEET TOMORROW" Gonna probably lift ~70% on snatch/cj today and probably just take friday off lifting. Got smoked in the quad running hard into a tackle yesterday, hopefully the pains gone by saturday. | ||

50kg Squat (up 5kg) 37.5 kg Benchpress (up 2.5 kg) 40kg Deadlift (up 5 kg.) I started out adding 5 kg to benchpress too, but on first set second rep I was already like NFGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSFDpushing it up and reallys truggling, so I figured billy don't be a hero. Possibly reason I did not improve much there is because the first 2 days of SS (e.g the day I did the benchpress and the day after) I ate like half of what I should have, and just started eating properly on the 3rd day, so probly didnt grow as much muscle as I could have\should have. also I feel like my deadlift form is super shit and I am bending my back too much : ( ? at least on the heavier sets.And my Bench press form was somewhat different part of today. My elbows sort of didnt go out the way they should , its sort of hard to explain. Last but not least 2nd day (first day I did powercleans) I got some small blisters on the inside of my hand just below\at the root of the fingers, and they returned now sort of when doing deadlift, and fear they will return even worse with a vengeance on next powercleans, is there any non lame way to fix or avoid this? | ||

Is this a good idea if my primary goals are less concerned about building muscle and looking manly and more concerned about things like lowering my resting heart rate and having good stamina? I've been slothing and eating a lot of junk for a bit and although I am aiming to lose about 20 pounds I am less concerned about physical appearance than actually being "heart healthy." Any advice is appreciated | ||

)My dad has been having some pain in his arm now for quite a while and I figured I might ask you. Although It's probably pretty hard to describe someone elses injury I'll do my best. ![[image loading]](http://www.muscletitans.com/image.axd?picture=2011%2f4%2fArm+Muscle+Anatomy+1.jpg) It's his right arm and he's right handed if that matters. At first the pain was mainly in what seems to be the Brachialis, but has now gotten worse and continued down what I think is the Brachioradialis, all the way down to the wrist. He was working out for about a month with the pain but then it got too bad so he quit. The exercises that seemed to hurt the most, meaning pain was so bad he couldn't really do them at all, were generally the ones with arms out the sides. For example dumbbell shoulder press, side raises, bench press or flyes. I would think this is an old injury since he's 60, and starting to lift just made it noticeable. Right now he also gets the pain whenever he move his hand, in addition to arms out the sides. And since you pretty much move your hand all the time I guess you could say this is pretty much chronic, since he stopped working out like 1.5-2 months ago. He went to a more general doctor who basically said he should go to a physical therapist because WHY NOT. My dad didn't fancy that so he pretty much told them to fuck off since they won't even try to identify the problem, just want to get rid of him I'd guess. I know you probably can't help much with so limited information, so if you could tell me more specifically what you would need to know so I can ask him that would be great. Thanks | ||
