Women who strength train became 10-12% smarter over 12 month period compared to those who balanced and toned who suffered a .5% decrement in cognitive performance. 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? | ||

 "Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general." -Mark Rippetoe It's pretty funny that the studies back up such funny quotes. http://www.bmj.com/cgi/reprint/337/jul01_2/a439 Yes, being stronger makes you live longer.... given that being stronger tends to convey a more active lifestyle = better immune system, unlikelyhood of falling when elderly, etc. Also, another one... "There is no such thing as “firming and toning.” There is only stronger and weaker." | ||

 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. | ||

@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. | ||

Yep, tighter one will generally start with more tension which increases activation and thus the work... thus more fatigue. Loosen it up so you don't develop any imbalances... | ||

Threw down 215x10 235x8 260x8 285x8 315x8 335x8 on squats today, i feel like powering through the last few reps at 335 with music/adrenaline is almost like taking steroids, i honestly dont think i should be able to get them and then i push through it somehow. Back didn't affect me at all from maxing out on deadlifts, so i hope its getting better. taking fish oil/glucosamine. Couldn't do bench or powercleans cuz of sprained wrist so i just did rows/pull ups + abs. Then destroyed my body with a 4x400m intervals. Combined with being sore from rugby and squatting, my legs have officially tapped out. Still have jelly legs 30 minutes after i finished. Eshlow, got anything for fixin a sprained wrist/thumb? | ||

Heat is fine IF: ~injury is chronic and you're not aggravating it by working out ~injury is to a muscle without edema/swelling ~generally, not within 4-5 days of injury incident (depends on how bad it is). | ||

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. wut no its not. I thought I had a copy of p90x's ab workout but my files are corrupted does anyone have a good ab workout they do daily? | ||

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 | ||
