I had my first swim meet of the season yesterday. i did terrible but thats to be expected as it's the first week of the season, its a 50m pool (im used to 25m pools), and i didn't swim any of my normal events. what kind of a coach would hold swim team tryouts monday and tuesday, have a hard workout wednesday-friday, and send sends their swimmers to some US naval base for a swim meet? i know that i shouldn't expect myself to swim well so early in the season but swimming slowly sucks.

I've recently started focusing a lot more on shoulders/traps. But i mix and match my workouts, no strict order or anything like that. But this is a main thing of what i do almost everyday. And this is to my weight, which is around 175-180 Benchpress 145 lb. 4 sets of max reps. so for me, it usually goes from 15-12-12-10 Curls 50/40 Barbell i do the thing where you do the bottom half 10 times, top half 10 times, and fully 10 times. Twice with the 50, and twice/3 times with the 30. Dumbell Military Press 40 lb each hand. 3 sets of 10 Shoulder Flys? (thing where you hold your hands by you holding a dumbell and you flap them like if you were a bird. xD) 15 lb. 20 times, follow with 10 lb. 10 times. Do that 3 times. I try to work my abs everyday at night.and this is my ab workout, in order. Situp with a 10 lb weight behind head (20 reps) Max rep situps till you get sorta tired. 15 Leg raises Planks for one minute. Do that 3 times and youll be pretty tired. Hope you guys like it. I don't understand how you don't badly overtrain your abs working them every night. You must have really good genetics
He's probably going to get shoulder pain soon from imbalances because he has no pulling work at all.

Last exam tomorrow, then ill have lots of time for extra training...really looking forward to it! I think I will add a half hour of swimming today, and go to the gym a little longer each time.

erm yeah as eshlow mentioned you definitely need pull work. Add in rows/pull ups/whatever otherwise you're gonna be fucked up from difference between your chest and back. Also you're only working one part of your core. you need to work your sides and back as well. back extensions/dead lifts/ab twists/etc.
And you should probably work out something in your lower body as well.
also a lot of your reps are pretty high, which is mostly for endurance but i dont know what your goals are so i dont know if you're going for size, strength or endurance. You should probably be lifting more weight at lower reps, especially your bench
done rambling lol

Now, I'm really worried about being underweight.. So I've decided to join this group.
I'm currently a 5'4 110 pound adult (yes, nerdy body right?) and I was 135 lbs kid when I was both in college and at work. Now, I need to put on a little weight (maybe at least get my 135 lbs would be pretty okay)
So, any of you guys knows a diet that has a lot of protein and I gladly stop eating junk food as well.
Here is my stats:
Age: 25 Height: 5"4
Current Weight: 110lbs
Goal Weight: 135-140lbs
Starting Date: November 25th 2009
Goal Date: January 31st 2010
Thanks in advance health buffs

have about 5-6 meals a day. each meal should have a decent amount of protein and just eat more than you usually would for each meal.
oh and don't forget about weight training
|
Yeah, I just try to eat 5 largish meals a day, with a good quantity of protein in each meal.
Depending on what is readily available for you, you cna tailor make your own eating plan, but to give an example, here is what I ate today.
1: weetbix, protein shake, 460cal, 40g protein, 60g carb, 3g fat
2: chicken breasts, 250cal, 40g protein, 2g fat
3. eggs, tomato, salad, mushroom, 350cal, 25g protein, 25g carb, 10g fat
4. fish and noodles, 470cal, 40g protein, lots of carb
ill eat something more before go to bed as well.
But really, its not too hard at all to eat well, you just need to plan a little ahead.

AND.....my final meal was a protein shake and some mango

At that price, it must'nt be the most reliable thing out there.
And to be honest, it looks just like the price they're asking for.
And if you check ebay you'll find tons of similar goods, curiously originating from hong-kong at 1.99$ + 15$ shipping...
Now if it was this: http://www.polar.fi/us-en/products/fitness_crosstraining/FT60/ , I'd be willing to spit out a hundred bucks if it was that cheap.

Trying to gain 25-30 lbs in 2 months is insane. I don't even know if it's possible unless you are solely concentrating on this alone and have personal trainer. Even if it was possible, I'd shoot for a more realistic goal, like 10 lbs in 2 months. That way, you won't end up burned out, sick, and/or worse.

Today an instructor came to me while i was doing my presses, he said i was locking my knees and that it was wrong cause locked knees would load my lower back too much.

The theory is also not making a lot of sense to me, because I do not see how this unloads my back. My back position essentially stays the same, though I just became more unstable. Also I do not feel like my lower back strength is keeping me back in my presses, but shoulder strength is.
I just watched some vids with press instructions and it looks like they should be locked at all times during the press, right?
He's right. You should never really "lock" anything in weightlifting. You risk hyper-extending, or worse, buckling/folding at the joints (this will hurt like a mother trucker). "Locking" also makes you workout less because you're "technically" resting the weight on your joints/bones, instead of using some of your muscles to keep it lifted. Even in the "resting" state, your muscles should be somewhat lifting.
If you feel like you are doing everything right (proper form), and you don't "feel" it in some places you're supposed too, it may just be that that area of your body is already pretty strong in comparison to the rest of your body. (i.e. some people who do bench presses don't feel it in their chest, but their triceps, because their triceps are underdeveloped).

Lautner on bulking up for the part: As soon as I finished filming Twilight, I knew I had to get to work right away; there could be no waiting involved. The day I finished Twilight, I came home and started bulking up. For New Moon, I’m 30 pounds heavier than I was in Twilight. I grew out of a lot of my clothes, though. I went from a men’s small to a men’s large. I was in the gym five days a week, two hours a day. At one point, I was going seven days straight. I had put on a lot of weight, and then I started losing it drastically, so I was worried. It turned out I was overworking myself. The hardest thing for me was the eating. At one point I had to shove as much food in my body as possible to pack on calories. My trainer wanted me to do six meals a day and not go two hours without eating. If I would cheat on eating one day, I could tell—I’d drop a few pounds.

It's hilarious that personal trainers follow this when all barbell training between coaches and trainees shows that three meals a day is actually more effective for gaining lean body mass. The 6 meal a day, nuts and etc., is effective if you're trying to keep your body fat low and get "ripped". And I'm getting this information from Rip himself. If you just wanna get big, eat whatever you want and train heavy, linearly. I however want to get ripped, but I guess that isn't very useful? lol
