But the cool thing is I already started a supplement company / fitness website that plans to be involved in eSports. We've already talked to incontrol a bit about it. BB.com has some good resources for sure..... but it's also infested with a lot of crap. I tend to try to recommend sites that only have for the most part all quality stuff so you can't go wrong if some random person starts browsing through the rest of the site. | ||

If i shouldn't do them all, what should i focus on the most, im thinking squats (for leg muscles + stretching my body out), the press, dead lifts, power cleans. Not that i don't like the bench press, but i think the regular press will give me more overall for what im looking for. Did you read the program you're supposed to do? There's set workouts.. A and B alternating that you're supposed to do! you don't have to worry about constructing your own at this point | ||

Not that i don't like the bench press, but i think the regular press will give me more overall for what im looking for. The recommended workout is in the programming section, although the wiki page lays it out more clearly: Workout A Squat (3x5), Bench (3x5), Deadlift (1x5) Workout B Squat (3x5), Press (3x5), Powercleans (5x3) and you alternate for 3 days a week, ABA week 1, BAB week 2 etc. Usually mon/wed/fri, although the snow caused me to move to tues/thurs/saturday You don't want to go more than 3days/week if you are following starting strength, until you've hit your max with the novice program and the advanced novice program. Also the wiki page lays out the program and how to increase your weight more clearly than the book imo (the book is better for in depth form analysis and such) so check out http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Starting_Strength_Wiki Do you know what to do in terms of warmup sets? Also in the wiki, but make sure you know how that works before you get to the heavy weights  | ||

One session left (125kg x 20) until í start Coan-Philippi and things get tough for realz. ps. have I ever told you how awesome my gym is? Today I found the strongman "floor". Basicly it is a whole floor dedicated to training athletes for strongmen competitions. It has like 6 huge aluminium blocks to press overhead (the lightest one I think is around 70kg), atlas stones (starting at 90kg) and pedestals to place them on, a PROWLER <3 <3 <3 and even a keg throwing stand. To finish it up there are sleds, farmers walk handles, a 400-500kg tyre to flip and more I'm sooo in love. Only thing I need to hide somewhere inside the gym is a foam roller and my life will be complete. | ||

Most of them are good..... figure out which ones work best for you. That's generally how you do things. And by the "best ones" I mean the ones that are teh hardest to do correctly... not the ones you can do well or easy :p | ||

As an aside I think a lot of people neglect magnesium supplementation. Most people are actually magnesium defecient. Magnesium is the most important mineral out there (Especially for active people), it's the antagonist to calcium. Calcium contracts the muscles whereas magnesium relaxes them. If the balance of calcium to magnesium is out of whack (which is very likely) your muscles will have a hard time relaxing after workouts and you'll be more prone to injury. The kind that I use is called natural calm. Magnesium citrate is a lot more soluable than magnesium oxide. And your body generally is able to absorb only 50% of magnesium that you consume. I recommend that specific brand not only for that reason but because Dr.Pascal uses that brand for his athletes. Not only is he a gold medal olympian himself but he trains them (few of his guys won golds in Bejiing). + Show Spoiler + Magnesium is also essential in addressing an issue common to almost all of the athletes treated by Dr. Pascal – muscle cramping. "When athletes first come to me, many of them have a history of cramping up. They get muscle cramps in their workouts and even in their races. When that happens, I know they do not have enough magnesium in their bodies." Being so aware of this vital magnesium requirement, Dr. Pascal has virtually eliminated this issue for those he treats. "When I was in Eugene, Oregon, this summer for the Olympic Trials, I treated 40 of my athletes. One of the things I really had to be concerned about was the heat and muscle cramping, and so I used magnesium preventatively. "Take your magnesium." That's the first thing I said when I saw the athletes in the morning and the last thing I told them at the end of the day. None of my athletes had muscle cramps – before, during or after their races." Unfortunately, that same advice was not given to those who weren't his patients. In the same trials, a top American sprinter, not being treated by Dr. Pascal, ran the fastest time ever run by a human being in the 100 meter dash. Five days later, he came back to try out for the 200 meter. Just into the race, his leg went into spasm and he fell. The result was a partial muscle tear. This same athlete had won three gold medals at the previous year's World Championships and was favored for three gold medals in Beijing; but with the torn muscle, he had to suspend training. He had healed by the time of the Beijing Games, but having lost the training time, he wasn't in shape to truly compete. "Cramping is a very serious business for these competitors," said Dr. Pascal. "It doesn't matter how many gold medals you have or how many world records you've set, if you get a muscle cramp, you're going to fall flat on your face and that's the end of it." High temperatures were also a factor at the Olympic trials and in Beijing, as heat can be a very heavy contributor to cramping. "Heat affects you because you will be sweating more, " Dr. Pascal explained. "As you sweat, you're going to be losing magnesium, which is water soluble. In addition, you'll be sweating out electrolytes, and of course water too. These losses mean that the ratio of calcium to magnesium will be changing in the body; the percentage of calcium will increase; and since calcium is a muscle contractor, the muscles cramp and that's it. "Additionally, most people think that they have a problem with heat due to the high temperature or humidity," Dr. Pascal added. "This isn't true. Heat builds up in the cells primarily because there are not enough minerals and electrolytes to carry the heat out of the cells. If there are not enough of these elements along with the water, it wouldn't matter how hot it was – the cells would never overheat and people would never get heat stroke, because the minerals would transfer the heat out of the cells." http://www.calmnatural.com/nutrition-world-class-athletes | ||
