Do you guys have any theories to what will happend? I have gained some muscles lately targeted on improving mainly my double poling. Will I lose muscle, gain more or stay the same? Before this I have been working out atleast for 90min every second day. Not counting cardio ect. | ||

Only downside is that I have no access to weights or other equipment on the trainingcamps, so I have to rely on my bodyweight and the skiing. Do you guys have any theories to what will happend?

It doesn't work that way as long as you eat enough it's not gonna melt off like butter in the microwave. And even if you lose it, it comes back about 5x easier than it came on the first time so it's really no biggie. | ||

And I guess that it wont really matter since I'm using the muscles in the activity that I build them for anyway. And ofcourse I try to eat decently, would just be wasting my time training that much and not eating. Just a lottery what would go wrong first if I did that. | ||

Height: 6'0-6'1 Bench Max: 285 Not quite the 300 i was hoping for, but still 30-40 pounds more than i could do exactly 1 month ago. The rep took like 5-10 seconds, i got it half way up and couldn't move for a few seconds and kept thinking "FUCK NO I'VE GOT THIS SHIT" and then powered the rest. Maxing on squats tomorrow, 400 here i comeeee | ||

I'm stuck at 2 x 22.5kg(50lb) dumbbells on the shoulder press. Anyone have any advice on smashing my shoulders without being able to go up in weight? | ||

Eat well and your muscle mass won't disappear. I've been working out 4 times/week lately and the workouts aren't as intense as this spring because of my so-so back. Anyways I stopped running because I think it hurt my back, so now I do intervals (HIIT) on an crosstrainer, which actually works very well to my surprise! I'm gasping for air after 3-4 intervals at fast speed at max resistance. So 2 times HIIT and 2 times full body low weights / week | ||

Started off with some basic throws, then some groundwork and chokes, and eventually got a few live matches in which were fucking awesome and really fun. The majority of the throws have to do with balance and positioning and there for you can practice/execute them with pretty much anyone even if they have 40 pounds on you. I won a match against someone with ~30 pounds on me and almost managed to win against someone with ~50+ pounds on me (until he basically sat on me rofl). I took it at my university, i had an international ref and a few blackbelts as my teachers so it was pretty good. And for your shoulders, try switching to barbell and going down to sets of 1-5 reps and see if that helps. I'm not sure whats wrong with my shoulders, i could only barbell press 95 but then switched to seated dumbells and put up 2x75 pounds while my lifting partner put up 115 on barbell and 2x60 on dumbells. edit: idk wtf was wrong with me that i could barely get up 100 on barbell a week ago, put up 135 pretty easily today ~~ | ||

Yes. Find a way to secure your feet or have a friend hold your feet. Start on your knees with your body straight up. Go forwards in a controlled motion untill you can no longer keep your body from hitting the floor. go down into a pushup and push up back to your starting position. rinse and repeat. Also you can do dumbell russian dead lifts | ||
