The most important thing is that you squat all the way down, no fucking excuses. Once you build a little hip flexability, you’ll be able to squat below parallel. Now, about form…without seeing you I can only tell how you are supposed to do it.
From an upright and locked out position…break your hips first, followed by your knees, coming back on your heals…once your in the hole, drive your heels through the floor exploding up. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
Oh and don’t round your back at any point in the lift, you should maintain the natural arch in your back throughout the squat.
those are the three cardio activities i want to do, and do well, man this is such a general question, if im new to doing all three on a regular basis, how do i start going about losing weight via those mehtods? man, i know what i want to say in my head but can’t type it out…sorry if you cant understand what i’m trying to get at, basically i think i want a schedule, or like what is a good amount to do of each to see results!
They’re the very thin stretchy kind…not TOO hott…I wear them at times when I deadlift because I scrape the shit out of my shins if I don’t tape them up or wear pants or both. I’ve had more luck with the athletic tape though (looks cool too heh.)
Be careful dude, 70 lbs increase is alot even on squats! Try increasing like 20 or 30 lbs at a time. Also if your going for 1 rep max’s, I hope your in a squat kage. It’s alot safer. Trust me you don’t want to fuck yourself up like i did and have surgury, and go through 4 months of rehab:sad: http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73454&page=49
On a side note…Your be very happy with the Xplode, make sure you do the whole 3 scoops. I tried and be a cheap ass and just use 2 scoops to make it last longer and did’nt fell anything! As soon as I did 3 scoops, it was a world of difference!
if you lose more then 2 lbs in one week, it can be deadly to your health. If your body loses that much weight then there will be malnutrition in your diet. Losing a pound a week means that you have burnt off 3500 calories in that one week. Thats an average of 500 calories in a day. Imagine trying to lose 2 lbs a week. That means that you will have to cut your calorie count by atleast 1,000 calories in one day. That is not enough food to properly run your body, especially if you try to work out, you wont have enough energy to exercise.
Honestly, stop eating junk food and eat healthier foods. There really isnt a replacement for a good diet, other then having a good workout regimen. Even if you workout hard, it doesnt do much when your diet stays the same. Its about hard work, you wont get anywhere unless your motivated and push yourself.
If you want instant results you should first gain muscles then lose weight. Its easier to gain the muscles, making the fat look less.
Good luck
Damn, I think I did hurt my back. There is a small knot in my back, with some soreness. Ima try to get a massage and hopefully shit will be straight. That is the reason why I hate working my legs.
eh, it’s not unheard of for someone new to lose more than a couple pounds a week…The goal should be 1% of your body weight a week…so a 300lb person could easily lose 3lbs of fat a week…any more than that definitely wouldn’t be deadly…but you could rest assured that his body is burning muscle for fuel alongside the fat. Which isn’t desirable…but not necessarily dangerous…
Oh and I definitely burn WAY over 500 cals a day…between resting metabolism, the thermogenic effects of food, and my high level of activity…this is why I have to eat so much to gain weight. To lose one pound a week you would have to be in a caloric deficit of 500 cals a day…meaning if you ate 2000 cals in a day you would need to burn 2500 cals…
One of my clients has lost roughly 25lbs in less than 2 months…made a HUGE difference.
Your back is more than likely just tight…try stretching a little…that’s perfectly normal. If you hurt yourself you would DEFINITELY know it FOR SURE. Your lower back tightens up and gets sore just like everything else when it gets a lot of work.
Bar Bips - 4worksets to failure
Tricep Pushdowns cable - superset
What you think? is that too much or too less, I can handle more if you think I need too, also like I mentioned before I want bigger arms which needs me working on my triceps.
When you say superset…are you saying you are supersetting bench press with pullovers for the same number of sets?? Cuz if you are that puts you over 30 sets for the day and that’s ludicrous. If you are concerned with growth, it’s all about the diet dude, like I said before…Provide your body with training stimulus and enough calories to respond to said stimulus…if you aren’t gaining weight, guess what…you aren’t getting bigger.
Please guys…Don’t be the retards that I make fun of everywhere I go…I want you guys to be better than that. And being better than that means forgetting about a certain body part getting bigger and focus on growing proportionately with a balanced workout…meaning that bigger muscles get worked more than the smaller ones…not the muscles you WANT to be bigger getting worked more.
It just urks me everytime somebody says, “I want a bigger chest/arms” I get so tired of that I could absolutely die…you never hear somebody say they want bigger legs or more back width…
And bill I’m not raggin on you or anybody else…this is just a rant.
If you MUST use a body part split…do something like chest/tri’s, back/bi’s, and legs…if you want to work out a 4th day do shoulders and arms, but make it a light day…don’t spend an hour and a half hitting the smallest muscles on the body.
ha yea no worries I know its not just about my arms I want to be bigger all over, I know I gotta eat more and put on weight.
Like I said before I kinda reached a stale mate in growing which means Im not eating or getting enough calories.
I just wanted too know if I was over doing it with a workout like that. which actually I havent started yet but thought about doing after this phase im in is over which is not far off.
Not sure if you could do anything else with just that.
This is pretty scrubby to ask, but just wondering if taking my protein shake an hr before I lift is good or no? I don’t think I’ve heard anyone mention something of that sort to my knowledge…or I just missed it.
