That's pretty much how it works. As long as you get your protein in at some point during the day you should be fine.

www.dumbbell-exercises.com

Can I just do one of the exercises in each routine or must I do all of them? will I look like a monster if I don't?

All I have is a pair of dumbbells, I can't even find those chairs/tables in the examples. I'm 5'8'' and 121 lbs so I just wanna gain some weight to look decent, I'm not really interested in looking buff or stuff like that.


Have you tried just being more active to see if you put on any weight that way?

Easiest way to answer is take a look at the OP here:

I'm a 27 (soon 28 T_T) years old basketball player who never dunked. I'm 1m85 and just never managed to get there ever. I remember almost dunking when I was 18, but then I badly sprained my ankle, and then studies got in the mix and all... I figure it's probably now or never to get to it before I get too old. Does anyone have any good training exercise suggestions to improve my vertical jumping ability ? I don't have access to a gym, so I'd appreciate any exercise I can do without fancy equipment.

You can PM suggestions as well.

Edit: just found this thread out http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sports/363103-vertical-jump
So from what I get, I need to work on lifts ? As I don't have access to a gym, could anyone give me a good tip in order to have something similar ?

Pretty much everyone is gonna tell you to do a combination of strength training (Squats, deadlift) into explosive training (snatch, clean and jerk variations) and jumping training (various type of jumps).

You simply cannot skip the strength training part. Some individuals are gifted enough to do dunks without it, but most simply do not have the strength and/or speed to skip the barbell

Thanks man, your answers are appreciated. I've seen that my work has a gym that isn't too expensive, I'll have to check if they have a barbell/leg press or something and consider going there.

For squats, my basketball trainer makes us do jumping squats. He makes us do 2x10, that I manage without trouble unlike some of my teammates ^^ However, I'm worried I might do them wrong: are my heels supposed to stay on the ground or am I supposed to be on my toes ? Everyone in our team does it differently, and our coach didn't really know what the proper way was.

how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

I force feed myself everyday; if not, I lose weight. I hate it lol.

On saturdays, If I want to go out I have to stuff myself to death before leaving my home. If not, by 2am I have sick stomach-aches because of hunger; even when drinking.

I do enjoy that I can get shit-faced drunk and have a mild hangover. Many of my crossfit friends don't even drink to not hurt their training, and have week-long hangovers. I tell them they aren't properly conditioned

Anyone have any success using stretches to relieve back pain/speed up injury recovery? I hurt my back about 6 months ago (could feel it through the glute) and it was a little iffy but ok. A few weeks ago, it spasmed and it's been irritated ever since. I'm on NSAIDs and muscle relaxant after the GP determined I hadn't broken any bones (thanks, doc). The pain seems to be coming mostly towards the point of the hip, so I'm not sure if I'm overcompensating. I also notices that I'm constantly favoring that side when I'm sitting down.

That sounds like it. Should the side that's hurting be the side that's shortened? Because that's what it feels like to me.

Well it's gonna feel tight and pull that side of the pelvis up. I recently got mine in place with inversion boots that hook up to a pull up bar and let you hang upside down by your feet. That might have been a bit of luck though, you usually need to get a chiro to set it. Outside of that hip mobility (lax ball in your hips woohoo) and glute + ab work are going to be what will help you the most.

So you think I should definitely see a chiropractor?

It's not a bad idea. I'd try to get a recommendation or find one that works with athletes. A good one will do soft tissue work and rehab work so that you don't have to go back more than once or twice. Others will just tell you to come back twice a week for the rest of your life.

There's plenty of stretching, mobility, and manipulation you can do by yourself or with a gym buddy that will help as well. Try some googling. Kelly Starrett probably has some great stuff out there.

I'm going to agree with Decaf on this, although I've found that doing some general stretching and mobilization helps a ton.

My normal routine is to mobilize for 10 minutes on a foam roller/lacrosse ball, and then move onto stretching for 10-15 minutes. The main areas that I mobilize for my lower back are my hamstrings, ankles, hips (adductors, flexors), and psoas. I don't know how bad your back pain is, but I've had some really acute pain recently and this has helped me. For reference, I took 2.5mg of Vicodin just to be able to stand up.

I'd recommend finding a good chiropractor, and also maybe picking up a lacrosse ball and a resistance band for stretching if you have the spare money. Also, be a little wary of using NSAIDs too frequently because they can cause ulcers. Hope that your back heals quickly.

I did the opposite push-pull on the knees thing that he recommended. I'm not sure if it did anything.
