I've been working in the woods today, lifting and draging 40-80kg logs for hours! My whole body is burning lol. Won't work out today, will have to see if I've recovered tomorrow.

Gluten generally avoid especially cause its in so many processed foods. Yeah, I don't exactly eat Paleo, but as long as you're digesting fine and not bloating or passing gas and such you're fine. Passing gas, bloating, etc tends to mean that the foot is not exactly agreeing with your GI tract | ||

Does vitamin D help with the recovery from pneumonia? I'm still waiting for my order to come in, but I don't know if it'll help me all that much. | ||

I don't really think you have to give dairy up. I think everyone who is doing a paleo diet have different ideas of what fits and what doesn't but I think what they all agree on is at least that the biggest things you should avoid are processed foods, refined flour, and excess sugar. In the website eshlow has in op http://www.paleonu.com/panu-weblog/2009/6/13/using-dairy-to-substitute-fats-for-carbohydrates.html he mentions that "Remember, the paradigm is about paleolithic metabolism, not paleolithic food re-enactment!" Also when Weston Price went around researching cultures isolated from modern civilization, a lot of the people he found had really high diets in carbs and dairy. If you ever want a read about it his book is online. http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library/price/pricetoc.html | ||

It should considering pneumonia is a respiratory tract infection. for example; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20020581 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20859185 Also more studies in the vitamin D article.... Vitamin D upregulates a much of anti-microbial peptides and other immune functions so yeah | ||

Had to take two weeks off from the gym; the first to give my knee some time to calm down, and the second because I have no self control. I punched a wall, resulting in a swollen tendon and the loss of my ability to make a tight enough fist to hold a barbell =p. Finally got back for a workout last night and feel AMAZING now, hit the same number as the last workout performed on squats and did an extra set (4x5 instead of 3x5) and did an extra ten pounds on my bench press. Still need some work on my deadlift form; figure I'll have a friend come with me this coming weekend and get that all figured out... But adrenaline and testosterone really are the best cure out there for whatever's got you down! Wish I could be talking about being 200 pounds here like the rest of ya'll. I'm 6'4 161 - and 12 pounds of that are new! I'm hoping to be that big by this summer, but while I eat well, I need to start eating MORE. Calorie intake lately has me very much stagnant, and it's not cool. | ||

Nice thickness and development in the back, but yea your chest is lagging a little. I assume you're doing other exercises for it apart from barbell bench? :p | ||

I've tried lots of the little form tweaks but, even if some of them have worked, I still never get that OMFGASPLOSION pump in my chest | ||

I've tried lots of the little form tweaks but, even if some of them have worked, I still never get that OMFGASPLOSION pump in my chest I think the chest is the hardest muscle to develop because of it's size and one of the hardest to exercise so form is crucial. I've seen most of my progress from dumbells. I rarely bench but do it from time to time since it's a good pushing exercise and helps upper body strenght. To get that blood flowing pump to your chest before your routine try this: * Close hand push ups – 1 set/10 reps * Regular push ups – 1 set/10 reps * Wide hand Push ups – 1 set/10 reps Then I'd do 5 sets of dumbell presses 5 sets of dumbell flyes and then finish off with a few sets of dips/cable crossover/pec dec mix it up sometimes with barbell bench sometimes but do most of your work on incline. When using dumbells, keep your back arched and always squeeze your shoulder blades together at the bottom. When at the top, pause for a second and squeeze your pecs. Keep negatives slower. Try to expand your ribcage when you're going down on dumbell flyes and always utilize full ROM! I'm seeing great progress from this and my chest is always sore after. :p But that's what works for me but keep trying new things and see what works best for you.  | ||

stick to the basics! I have seen people in the gym training their chest for 1 1/2 hrs while I was doing a full body workout with bench press, squats, rows, pull ups, deadlifts and shoulder press. I had the chance to talk to a professional bodybuilder and a powerlifter as well. In the end either one is using the regular bench as their basic excercise for chest and everything else is an addition to that. What is your rep scheme? Maybe play around with your reps...I tried a lot of different systems like 8x8, 5x5 or 3x3 and I had a pretty good progress with all of them, with each system I used the bench press/incline bench/dips as my exercises. I did just one per workout, bc I was doing a full body plan three times a week. My favourite system was pitt force though, where you just use single repititions. I have never had such a pump in any bodypart before and also strengthwise I had a very good progress with it. | ||

You may want to try reverse grip bench press if your chest is being stubborn. It is an excellent upper chest workout apparently. Other alternatives are weighted dips and dumbbell bench press, which I'm sure you're already doing. The flat bench press doesn't do all that much for size and strength compared to its variants, to be honest. Rippetoe himself admits that the DB bench press is better for pretty much everything other than powerlifting competitions. If you want size, something of the hypertrophic training variety may be up your alley, although I may get my head bitten off for suggesting it here . | ||
