Sorry. Prunes sounds good.
I used to drink maybe... 24oz of liquid (including miilk/water) a day. Add to that the fact that I had very little fiber in my diet and I was shiting blood for awhile. Parents thought it was fine, but in a moment of hypochondria arranged a colo. -.- Sucked. Royally.
Speaking of which though... the colo cleanse recipe is basically just liquid nutritious with lax for 24 hours... 1 glass an hour. It works....

For reference, she currently cannot do a full pushup, only knee pushups. I was thinking that we could start with just that for a pushing exercise, but what else should I add to make it a complete workout?
Also, she has a cyst in her wrist that causes problems if she puts too much pressure on her hand. Since regular pushups sometimes bother her, I usually have her do fist pushups because they keep her wrist straight.
So, do you guys have any idea about what kind of workout I should have her do?
Work her up to full pushups (knckle pushups tend not to aggravate stuff like that)... definitely work on wrist mobiltiy as much as possible. May want to get the cyst aspirated.
I would start with maybe some inverted rows or maybe some eccentric pullups... get her up to that ability
Definitely squatting...
Have access to gym? Startng Strength?

Yes. Just don't eat as much, and obviously eat healthy

to make things worse, while I'm being open, I've never been regular anyway. in cross country in high school I thought it was bizarre that one of my friends would shit every day before our run, when I only shat mebe once a week, which is when I found out that I was the one with the problem, but I never really did anything about it
I've downed a liter of cranberry juice and taken exlax with no results.
help T_T, don't laugh my guess is more fiber
ps I think it says a lot about a person when they go to TL before their parents LOL
Try above mentioned solutions. Also i've had fiber one bars which made me really have to shit.
But yeah you'll adjust to the diet, the first week or two when i really adjusted my protein intake i was pretty gassy and what not. It's not bad any more.
Also, i probably just took 2 years off my life and destroyed half my liver/ruined my body on my camping trip this weekend. Kept landing on my sprained wrist and stopped a canoe with my knee. We'll see how working out goes tomorrow lol.

I feel the same way about this weekend, I thrashed my knee and back wakeboarding so I'm heading to the gym now to see how shitty I am X_X

Would it be effective or is there better ways to get leaner?
Edit: And the post below reminded me, would HIIT be a good thing when doing SS for fat loss?

What's the best way to add cardio to SS?
It's cool being able to squat and deadlift heavy and all, but it's not cool when I run up and down the basketball court 3 times and I'm already tired.
I tried running both intervals and for distance and both of them were terrible since my legs were sore. I also tried playing basketball straight up and it was also exhausting.
I'm not confident in swimming so I can't do that...

It says even in the wiki that HIIT + SS is too demanding on the legs. Normal cardio after workouts is the best way to go.

Meh i usually can throw some down after an intense leg/deadlift session. It usually makes me unable to walk but depending on the person you may or may not be able to do both.

^ i think that has more to do with the fact that you've been lifting for quite a number of years already?
had a so so training session today. my decent progress on the press was negated by my shitty pull ups. i rested for 10min for the 2nd set and i ended up resting for 15min for the last set (my arms felt really tight) and i just barely made it LOL. i guess it's time to deload again.
i just have this feeling that i've almost maximized my gains on pull ups as a beginner. i set a new PR a few weeks ago only to stall (AGAIN) on the next increment. pretty frustrating...

I'm not confident in swimming so I can't do that... the first few sprints up and down the court was always the hardest for me. i'd eventually get my 2nd wind though making the succeeding sprints easier.
i honestly don't think you need to add any cardio, as all the heavy lifting will already give you above average conditioning.

wow just pr back squat with 160kg. squating is ridiculously easy when u dont do anything before it.
|
If you're going to add HIIT to SS you need to cut SS down to 2x a week, and add in 1-2 sessions of intervals.
The program becomes not-SS though... and I cannot vouch for its effectiveness because modifying it is not optimal.
Also, you don't really need "cardio" work. Just a good clean diet.

Dude you're a freak. Cruisin straight for 3x bodyweight squat...you're a champ
Day 3 in squat routine seemed ridiculous to me. 10x215 8x260 6x315 6x330 6x365 (supposed to be 360) I feel like my squat is spiraling out of my control and my legs will soon take over my body and mind as the primary being. I couldn't even contemplate going up to a rack with the bar bent 365 and saying lulz lets do six! just even a month ago Can't wait to throw down 450 in a couple weeks. High school football team was in there...reminded me so much of when i was 13 and barely able to do a shitty squat with just the bar. Nice to see how much i've grown since then.
Sprained wrist is still being lame (probably cause i fell on it 10 times this weekend) i feel like my bench is going to shit and i couldnt even find wrist wraps to attempt light benching. Mom has my chalk in my car she took to tennessee which is also unfortunate Did 5x400 intervals to put a dent in the ~100 beers i consumed thurs-saturday T_T

You big lifters are freaks. I'm jealous.
Alrightio, I spent almost 2 weeks away for work staying at hotels eating restaurant food and drinking every night. I am now once again the proud owner of..... GUT! ^_^.
Off the alcohol and back into a 3 days weight 2 day cardio routine. I'm making salads at night, along with grilled chicken or fish with a side of steamed green vegetables, packing it for work the following day. Oats for breakfast and some fruit as snacks throughout the day.
Giving myself 8 weeks to lean out and get back to big numbers in my lifts. I miss my abs and I want them back.
I have a question, I have to travel for 7-10 days at the start of every month for work, now during this period I can be sensible and control my diet, but what do I do about the lack of gym access. It seems to smash my SS routine. I essentially miss 5-6 sessions and I have to start back 1 lower than what finished with. Is there anything I can do, or do I just have to bare with the slower progress?
