Carry 75lb of weights in my military grade school backpack. Pretty much I walk 30 minutes home with this, on top of the 35lbs of my 6 textbooks, 2 binders, and a laptop. Carrying it between classes and the long walk home has been doing wonders for my deadlift, really strengthening the core. Only thing I make sure to do is while walking home or to school, I wear my pants higher and tighten the belt a lot to prevent my muscles and organs from coming out of my body (see Ronnie Coleman). Tbh I'm not sure how necessary it is, and I have enough available space to put another 25lb plate, but at that point carrying it is too much. | ||

Edit: Also, really shit workout today. Added 10 lbs again to squat (yay), re-tried and re-failed the weight on OHP from last session (boo), and didn't even do PC because my ankle feels really shitty last two days (even more boo). | ||

This is probably straining your lower back in a way that could cause you harm down the road. It has a strap at the bottom to keep it in place and not shaking around too much, and it almost looks like a gigantic lunch box (where there is a compartment at the bottom) and so far I do not feel any pain. My squat improved by 40lbs in two weeks and I would contribute some of it to this backpack. | ||

Greg Everett's book has an excellent progression that I've been following with a PVC pipe in my room. I think I'll work on the foot drills a little bit more to get rid of my silly donkey kick next. Also, I don't really feel like I'm being too aggressive in getting under the bar in the third pull. You probably noticed that in my 50kg snatch, I had a small pressout at the end. I gotta pull myself under better. Anyway, next time I'll do a full overhead squat from the receiving position to practice my balance. I really enjoyed snatching today (minus the part when I thrusted my dick into the barbell as part of a mistimed second pull  ) so I'm hoping to keep improving. More form videos incoming, so I'd appreciate some analysis. | ||

That was probably why it felt so damn heavy and I only managed to do one rep :S | ||

Some football team people are there, most are at practice. And then some stupid assholes for the most part. Don't know half of em. Lifting coach was in there. Didn't really know the guy. Knew he taught weights... in any case. So I start squatting (110 pounds lol) but he liked my form. He said that was really good, and although he said I was the smallest person to ever be in the weights room (know the guy is real funny) he said I was putting forth good effort. Helped me out. With deadlift pointed out I'm rounding back a little bit. And in the most awkward thing known to man, guy said 'look, this guy knows what he's doing. WHy don't you guys stop doing bullshit bicep curls and do this..." And they all just looked, and looked away. In any case, he said I"m ok to use it whenever it's open for semi public use. Which during football season is not terribly often. Also said he was a backup for US olympic powerlifting team (now is like 60) He said he will help me with powercleans too >.> He too advised me to "eat more stuff" LOL this is awesome! Getting 3k+ calories is just practice if you aren't used to it. | ||

I don't get what you mean with "preventing muscles and organs coming out of your body", you mean roid gut? If yes, rest assured Ronnie Coleman has a huge gut because of HGH. Look at Arnold, back then they didn't abuse HGH afaik. | ||

Tbh I'm not sure how necessary it is, and I have enough available space to put another 25lb plate, but at that point carrying it is too much. Generally, carrying heavy backpacks are not a good idea. There's been a bunch of research done on this in children and it doesn't look good because it modifies gait and posture a lot. If you wanna do farmers walk and stuff do them in the gym.... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12671488 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12942009 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16670549 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11805666 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15211269 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19369725 etc. | ||

On September 17 2011 13:37 shinosai wrote: Eshlow, I have a curiosity. Having read an earlier post of yours, you said that lifting weights is the most effective way for people to lose weight. If they are extremely fat, they burn fat in order to fuel muscle building. In another thread on another forum, a person contradicted this for obese people and said this: Who is right, here? I'm just curious if what this person says is true or not. Also, sorry I'm always bombarding you with questions... You're just so smart!This is incorrect. Obese people, in general, have not made any adaptations towards exercise. Therefore, any type of stimulus, especially one of weights, is going to be able to force enough damage in the muscles to provide a hypertrophy response. SAID principle -- Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. There is some stuff about how most of the gains in the initial 3-4 weeks of lean tissue is not muscle mass but just through strength gains. Regardless, any increase in lean mass with a caloric deficit is going to be burning fat as energy to build lean tissues (and you need other lean tissue structures to support hypertrophy anyway so it's a moot point). I would like to read the series of articles though if you can give me a link to that. | ||

The pain still hasn't completely gone away, although I can walk, just not painless. Should I be worried? Anything I can do to speed up recovery? Sounds like a dehydration issue? Some electrolytes, especially magnesium, may be useful. | ||
