Hey Magnus, do you have a link or can you post up some complete workouts for a week like this?
Thanks a lot man.
does anyone know if smoking hookah (like once a month) does anything to the muscles? i know the question is kind of out there, but it was just curious.
probably just overthinking it, but i donât wanna risk damaging my muscles iâve worked hard for
Probably not. I hate to admit it, but I actually smoke daily (cigarettes). Probably 2 or 3 a day, not really more than that, and it hasnât affect my workouts in any way. It actually helps me eat less (not less frequently, less amouts in a meal) when cutting. Iâm not saying smoke to eat less or itâll be helpful to you, Iâm just saying a little isnât so bad.
I always do that slide, always. Except for the xtend shake I take during my workout I always just put the sccop of whatever Iâm taking in my mouth and swallow. Itâs perfectly fine as long as you drink enough water in the run of your day.
Hydroxycut is overpriced for some siml,e things you could buy for half the price at walmart.
Having a week off is a great thing after a steady four months, just eat well and youâll be stronger than ever when you get back in the gym.
i still need hydroxycut , damn fats blocking my muscles :arazz:
Itâs not easy for me to just go and do that. I donât have a grocery store just around the corner like that where i am right now.
Short background: Iâm 19 years old, 5â8", and used to weigh about 330 pounds. Starting last may I decided to lose weight and lost down to the 210-215 range by the beginning of this year. Since then iâve just been chilling cause i felt like it plus my girlfriend doesnât want me to get any slimmer.
Anyways, iâve been feeling really really restless lately and wanted another challenge plus i want to keep my cardio etc in good shape so i wont like die early etc. SOOOOâŚiâve decided to start jogging a mile like a couple or few times a week and the challenge is to get quicker at jogging one mile and also to increase my endurance so i can jog further and further.
So i went and set my baseline today and i jogged the mile in 10:35. Got a few questions:
- Is this slow or average or what?
- After about half a mile my side started hurting BAD and i basically ran the second half wincing in pain hahahaâŚhow can i keep that from happening?
- What are some basic tips for getting better at running (speed and endurance)?
Sorry this was so long, THANKS!
**Treatment
When it is caused by lack of conditioning a few strategies can be employed. First run slower and longer. Breathe fuller and try âbelly breathingâ where you allow your stomach to be ârelaxedâ and pushed out as you inhale and then contracted slightly as you exhale fully. Breathe rhythmically and make sure that you are not holding your breath. You can also try counting your breaths 6 in hold 3 out with a forceful exhalation for a 4 count or whatever seems to work best for you and your running rhythm.
Another breathing tactic that is tried is exhaling against resistance through pursed lips. This combined with belly breathing may be the best approach. To conditioning related stitches.
Also I suggest adding an abdominal strengthening exercise to your regimen such as âCrunchesâ.**

That pain you describe is called side stitches.

Your 5â8 and 220 and your GF doesnât want you to lose anymore weight? Interesting. Thats not at all a good time for a mile but youâll be surprised at how fast you can drop it.
Seriously, fuck a bitch who doesnât want you getting in better shape.
god ,my muscles are badly deterioated X_X iâm facing emotional stress and pressure âŚ
nvm.
What can I do for forearms?
No you wonât look like ryan reynolds, or at least not in the near future. Thatâd take years.
Forearms generally donât need any direct work seeing as heavy lifts, ie deadlifts do it for you. But you can do forearm curls if you really need to.
how long does it take for me to do cardio until able to reveal my abs and muscles ??
my fat percentage is about 19% i guess
You really wonât have a chance to see abs until around 12% body fat.
Get a book by John Brookfield on grip mastery and just do it.
now i need to set my goals âŚ
going to do cardio 2 times in a day every week .
iâve lost muscle mass 3 days ago and i looked so shrink and flabby because of stress and no pre-workout meals .now iâve regained my muscle mass because i had proper pre-workout and post-workout supplement and meal .so how long do i get to see the results ⌠?
You could do what I do, and just get a wide mouthed liter bottle of water, drink the water, and keep the bottle for use as a makeshift shaker.
i did the double cardio before. wake up early and hit the gym, just straight cardio. and later on the day after your real work out - cardio again.
btw, you can really blow your forearms up with hang downs. just hang on a pull up bar for whatever you comfortable with. and you can do like a curl motion to get that pump going on.
