From the OP


Is this sourced from that stumptuous site somewhere? If so, do you suppose you could link the article itself so I can send it to girls who insist that strength training will only make them into she-hulks?

And as a bonus, i sprained my wrist or something in the last game when some guy tackled me Limited range of motion and random twinges of pain are awesome! Should still be able to do pulling exercises and squats, but pushing seems like its out of the question for a while.

had an OK training session today. dips were still pretty shaky, just barely completed the work sets (with less than perfect form unfortunately). but an otherwise sucky training session was salvaged when i did some rack pulls. i never realized how fun those were. at least now i have some idea of how it feels to be doing deadlifts. can't wait to do them again! :D

@eshlow: with regard to the rack pulls, i was expecting it to hit both my hammies pretty hard. but for whatever reason only one of them felt fatigued. does this mean my form was wrong or something? i duno if it's worth noting but the hamstring that fatigued is tighter than the other one.

Would heating an injured area be good? Or should icing be better? I mean not after the workout, just additional help with the healing process when resting.

I love the gym. It makes me happy. For the last year I've been working out at home. Went from 210 to 160, then back up to 170 when I started hitting the weights. Only just 3 weeks ago because I was moving and the fitness stuff was in a box did I sign up at a gym. 200 bucks for 3 months is yucky, but oh my goodness it's so good to work out with other people, the positive energy is just amazing. I love the gym.

BTW that entire paragraph is a palindrome.

3x10 Sit ups with dumbell BEHIND neck. I usually use a 20 or so
Superset with sets of hip raises

Then something for the sides usually change it up a lot. Just pick a weight that you hit ~10 reps with.

edit: weighed in at 202 when i got home! I was 215 near the end of school, and now i'm 10 pounds lighter and 5-10% stronger. yay
