  1. just start really light and get the form. I have never tried going heavy on front squat
  2. If I sit idle too long, my back starts acting like I'm an old man again. That's my biggest motivation to work out. I'm slowly coming around to doing more power lifting. Right now my right tri feels like it's going to rip itself off my humerus. But as I've transformed my workouts into more lifting than HIIT, I've gained about 15 lbs, which is opposite of what my original goals were. Sometimes I want to focus on my "mirror muscles" so I can walk around wearing my compression t's, but that really does not fit my goals.
  3. he probably wants to draw blood again in a few weeks to make sure your body can break it down and absorb it before hitting you with the 60,000 IU
  4. 5000 iu isn't prescription strength and will not provide that big of a boost
  5. I've been killing upper body lately. Yesterday I was so sore I didn't even attempt lifting. I just did some old high school basketball drills instead
  6. Yes, raw unprocessed fruits and vegetables do the same thing. But eat them, don't drink them. You will have to drink a lot of water to stay hydrated because typically you will be going to the bathroom much more often as your body adjusts.
  7. Cool. I finally made the trip up to see it on Friday.
  8. Just keep the inflammation down to help it heal correctly. RICE it and maybe look into physical therapy to help strengthen your quads.
  9. Yoga shouldn't make you sore. It should hurt a little while doing it, but afterwards you should feel golden.
  10. if increasing muscle mass is your goal, then limit your weigh-ins to once a week. beat the psychological part of it now. strength and interval training is fairly easy to do concurrently if you don't have time to do a whole lot of pure cardio (and is arguably equally or more effective). fat at the lower belly is the last to go, so patience is a must.
  11. yes individual crossfit workouts are very good, but i feel everyone's hate on the crossfit culture. i think the logic behind kipping is simply to get something from the hips a la kettlebell swings
  12. man i've tried for years to get the cross over. not even close yet. love skipping rope though
  13. you're supposed to bounce it off a wall, you crossfit hating crossfitter
  14. no shame in yelling I just hate people grunting on every rep
  15. that's why I set up before super setting.... so it's obvious that I'm using the equipment and so that I can get through it quickly. gym etiquette is too hard for some people
  16. they don't have squat racks with bracket for the bar on the outside? or one that you can adjust, like this...
  17. I might be doing one in about two weeks. I missed early registration so I'm not sure if I'm doing it. If I do, I'll post my experiences.
  18. lol 120 kg split jerk = more than i can dead lift. you look about the right size for a turkish wife getup
  19. The tens will flop when dropped on the floor. but the way they bounce shows they are indeed bumper plates. they are made of ground tires. I've only seen 10 lbs. and up that size, in the normal increments: 10, 25, 35, 45. They are all the same diameter, but different thickness and density. We had a pair of 10 pound bumper plates in high school - they were bright orange and the same size as the 45 lb. plates.
