To elaborate a little bit, I'm most curious about how long I should stretch each muscle, and if there's disadvantages to stretching with my back arched vs. straight. Stuff like that. I'm a total noobie, so any advice is much appreciated.  Also, after I've done the frog planche, I get pains and a sense of stiffness in the middle of my back. Is this just a result of me not working out at all for a few years, or should I just refrain from planche alltogether? | ||

I realize I need a lot of flexibility if I wanna go for gymnastic exercises like planche, manna and all that good stuff.

Is this just a result of me not working out at all for a few years, or should I just refrain from planche alltogether? i'd stick in the stretches 'til you feel you're getting noticable lengthening and then hang out an extra 10-15 seconds. For stuff like german hangs it doesnt matter what the body position is. Most specific stretches will have a certain body position you're in anyway so it doesn't matter as long as you're getting the associated mobility/flexibility. Stiffness in the middle of the back tends to be not keepign the shoulders protracted and allowed the shoulder blades to sink backwards. It's a sign of a weak back + poor form in the planche. Work some serratus pushups and keeping the shoulder protracted during that exercise + more horizontal pulling strength work.

My goal was 140kg by February. I'm pretty sure I'll achieve that early January, if not by the end of the year. | ||

I'm actually just finishing up a run of p90x and I have to say that it was worked shockingly well. I'm less than 2 weeks away from finishing and so far I've lost almost 25 lbs of pretty much all bodyfat, which is great for me because I wasn't even super overweight to begin with, I was sitting at around 20% bodyfat and now I'm probably at like 12% or maybe even lower. Can see more of my abs then I've ever seen before in my life and almost have a full sixpack, I'm even surprised at how well its gone considering I didn't even do the program perfectly, skipped a few days, took probably like 2 weeks or more of breaks inbetween, and my diet wasn't perfect either. If you're looking to lose weight and get in shape I highly recommend it, however don't buy into all the 'muslce confusion' bullshit they sell you in the ads, if gaining muscle is what you want, Starting Strength will give you twice the results for half the effort and time spent, if not even better. Also don't waste your money on their shakes and supplements, you can get any multi vitamin for way less money and make your own shake which will be more efffective and cost a fraction of the price. Pm me if you want more details. | ||

I'm going to negate all my progress tonight. Holding the boys Christmas party at my place. 6 of us, 6x24 boxes of beer, cider for me. 3 Bottles of Jack. $300 worth of food. When next you hear from me, I'll be getting my stomach pumped. | ||

Lately though, I feel my benchpress is really plateuing and I can't make progress in it, should I switch all my workouts to once a week instead? Diet wise, I've been testing out IF for closer to 3 weeks now. 1. What's your height/weight 2. What are your lift numbers 3. What are your routines 4. Are you sure you're getting enough food? | ||

Lifts: been doing 5x5 in pretty much everything, bench is currently at 72.5kg (although I did not manage 5x5 of this today). I deloaded a bunch of weight on squats and deadlift in favour of better technique and rebuilding up, so currently squats are at 70kg 5x5 but increasing 2.5kg every week with no problem atm and deadlift is 100kg 5x5, shouldn't be a problem to increase there either. as for food, yeah, I'm pretty sure I've been getting enough food, although I haven't been counting calories. Started drinking a bunch of milk in my IF feed window now as well to try bulking again. my friend recommends I change my workout days to once a week now instead of once every 5 days, claiming this isn't enough time to recover properly at this stage for me, what's your take? | ||
