Dude, start your own journal. Or update your FB status or something. Not here.

dint brush you teeth and shower yuck!!

thot of sharing a vid on strength



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZsAj4qpGoc

that is for the strength mate! hahaha

Wow after 2 weeks off, no longer can squat my PR.. heck not even close... and I hurt my knee as well.. what a shitty workout..

Do I really need to build it up again!!

yes u have to start gaining it back slowly.
pushing urself straight to ur PR is pure ignorance.
u might get injured more likely.

In a friendlier term, maybe some sort of a program? pre-plan your workout.

Yeah I knew that. I reduced 25kg from my PR hoping to get higher rep...but only managed to get my normal 5 reps... n less

But my knee injury... I dont know where it came from... my full squat normally doesnt strain the knees...

sometimes, i do question this myself.. what is true strength? if skipping 1wk or so results in losing so much poundage. (continue pondering)
anyone else have any thots on this?

maybe the 25kg reduction is too much?
i've tried the lowering weight + up the reps. works for me

regarding the strain. i guessing cld be u didnt maintain tight-ness? abs, glutes, back

btw anyone know how to fix my youtube link above so it displays properly?(......searching)

In April, I took a month off from training and cut down on my eating, when I came back I lost some strength, it took me one extra week to get back to previous levels.

In May, I took a month off from training, but this time I maintained my diet as if I was going to the gym. This time I came back stronger than before.

Just my experience......

Yeah true... as if the strength we gain was just temporary... And need to constantly workout.. just to maintain the strength.. well probably thats what people call aging...


In contrary I ate more... clean diet of course.. high protein .. brown rice..

Maybe my pre-workout diet wasnt rite.. still trying to find perfect timing/quantity for my pre-workout..Sometime no pre-workout worked much better..I wonder why...

Now following PB advise.. focusing on higher rep routine.. after plateaued for almost all workout..

Strength is hitting a plateau, dropping back and going at it again, doing it over and over again.

Strength is not thinking so much about "Shit, I'm losing strength" but doing something about it.

Strength is about talking less turd on the internet and actually lifting the weights necessary and making the necessary sacrifices to lift more weights

It depends on how you define physical/mental strength. The keyboard warrior that whines and moans wins nothing. It's the guy that steps out there and does something, that's the winner. And he got stronger too. What a bonus

hi guys
noob here, looking for help with a workout program .. dont know if im looking in the right place or not (if wrong place then sorry lar)

i usually hit the gym 4-5 times a week, for 3-5k run daily, usually go for spinning classes and weights 3 times a week ... always go for classes only cos there are always so many guys at the free weight area that i dont dare to go ^.^

anyway i had to quit gym cos my job now requires me to travel alot .. so now i only have a resistance band and a skipping rope but .. i dont know what to do with it !

i was told that for girls its best to work on all muscle groups during resistance training..some say start with the largest muscles, some say can focus on diff muscle groups daily, some say just do compound movement .. so now im confused

would really appreciate if anyone could help me out, or point me in the right direction .. no access to gym equipment or free weights right now..
its Day #1 with no workout (just landed today) and im already starting to feel fidgity ...

I read somewhere that girls seem to progress well using a full body training.

You can start with SimpleFit
http://www.simplefit.org/bodyweight-exercises.html
Add a few rounds of skipping after SimpleFit.

Chin up/pull up assisted with band:

If you don't have a bar... some doors have a ledge above it. Just fold a piece of cloth as padding if the ledge is sharp.

If you can't do chin up/pull up, try reverse row (inverted row):

Put a sturdy stick between 2 tall chairs/tables and tape the stick.

If normal squats is too easy, try it with your rubber band

Push ups with band

eh why so quiet suddenly? Besides PB, he's got a job in pushmore now, doing pretty well. well done.

Because BB thread is way more fun, more BS, more crap.

Maybe the change the title to:
How to have a body that looks like an athlete/MMA fighter. I think can get more response.

It's awesome working in Pushmore. U get a bunch of guys who are driven but not so sure about proper technique. Once u fix that, they get a 10-15kg PR. The highest is a guy that hit a 25kg Pr. I'm gonna keep working on their technique and see how much other people I can help out.

Great job PB!!

Wrong. Cos BB thread got a lot of testosterone and people with bad tempers and narcissists. More drama = more nais.
