I did squat my GF, but a) she didn't weigh enough b) I couldn't balance her properly on my back, and my knees weren't feeling too good afterwards

If you can get two people, then you can sling one over each shoulder to balance it out

2 weeks of American food, argh.. I tried so hard to eat healthy in the first few days, but even their freakin' salads are enormous. I even went to the hotel gym 3-4 times, and then it all went down hill on th second week. I could see a 4 pack before I left, that's now gone. I think I would have put on 2-3kg, It's going to take another 4-5 weeks to get back to where I was and continue on from there.
Oh well, summer doesn't really start until Jan/Feb for us so I still have time to become a sexy beast.
Lol i feel like your life is a constant cycle of being healthy at home and unhealthy while traveling.
Yeah, it sucks and even in summer when I reach my goal, I'll go to Thailand and be a beast at the beach for the first week, second week shirt goes on, lol.
But really, that's all I train for, one week of sexy at a time.

I have a question for weight lifting geeks (or casual lifters for that matter) I found that doing bicep curls on preacher bench is significantly harder than doing it standing up. I curl with 30 lb. dumbells for 10 reps standing up, but when i try to do it on preacher bench, I can barely do with 20 lb. dumbells....like wtf? Is this supposed to be normal?

Of course.
The preacher bench lowers the amount of your body weight that you're able to put into the curl, and therefore, lowers the amount of muscles being used.
If you ask me you probably shouldn't be doing bicep curls at your level anyway, but do as you wish. The above information answers your question.

Trick question, do pull ups and rows instead. And yes preacher curls isolate your biceps making it harder.

Yeah, well, that and sleep too.
I regularly take 10k IU and pretty much am never sick. If you can get some soft gels take 20k-30k in a day and it should help clear it up, especially if youre not out in the sun a lot.
Cheapest I found is in the article I referenced plus discount there http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/10/a-closer-look-at-vitamin-d/

Despite not being able to move my lowerback i just went to the gym anyways whee Did triples for hang clean + jerk at 95 135 155 165 175 185 Just starting to get the form down, the front squat part is starting to make sense and i'm getting the bar on to my shoulders and my elbows a bit higher. my transition from the clean to the jerk is a bit shitty though, especially considering my wrist isn't 100% yet. Then bench 5x5@215 and 15lb pull ups for 8,6,8,6 reps. Rugby practice is going to suckkk
Ima try to pick up some vitamin D
|
isn't it a bad idea to be doing all that and rugby practice with a hurt back?
p.s: im doing my workout while i make this post. not having to go the gym is rad
p.p.s: eshlow this workout u have me doing now takes so much freaking mental discipline im probably now capable of sticking my hand in boiling water and holding it there
well, probably not. but you get the idea

WTF?
What are you doig right now?

eshlow im exaggerating lol
im doing just what u would expect me to be doing
i start with some warmup dynamic stretches then 10 pushups where i push up onto just my fingers by lifting my palm off the floor and hold it for 1sec each
then middle split x3 then 10 wrist pushups
then i go outside for german hangs for time x3 (this is like hand in boiling water)
then back in to do 3x straddle stretching, 3x forward bend, 3x straddle pike compression(boiling water)
then (today at least) i did MSH hands back-ish(boiling water.. it's reallllly hard on my wrists.. and im not leaning back. i figure it will just get better as i can lift up more). i did that x4 for time (not much time). then i did it but tucked up. and then i did it but as an L hold.
then straddle front lever for time (like... 4 or 5 seconds?) then again (like 3 seconds) then 1 legged front lever for time, then again then 15 tuck front lever pullup (not as hard as it sounds cuz the bar gets in the way, would be harder if i was using rings). then advanced tuck front lever for time
then i came back inside and did tuck planche(slightly pushing up into advanced tuck now and then), x6
all in all the strength parts aren't so bad. they are actually kind of fun sometimes. it's the stretching thats tough, it's so uncomfortable. soooo uncomfortable

Nah backs not hurt (slipped SI joint has been feeling better recently) Just sore as all hell from deadlifts.
I'm using "perfect pushups" as handles for when i do planche work and shit cause it feels better on my wrist, is that a good idea?
