getting depth on a squat is cool tho imo u exercise a wider range of motion get flexible and so forth
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 20 May 2018 03:45 (six years ago) link
like theres a bunch of technique stuff w a power squat that helps u get the weight up but it doesnt really mean yr getting stronger in a ~holistic~ sense, utilizing the bounce vs doing a pause squat and so forth

i took a break from weights for three weeks, just ran and did yoga, and my legs are feeling great - was having some knee issues. i did a few light front squats today and ehh i might just stick with long hold warrior poses + doing all those little adjustments getting good alignment etc for a while.

i like the combination of lifting and yoga i find them very complimentary

+1 me too.

trainer tonight said that my speed is actually very good on deadlift, he said I'm "a natural athlete." This is the only sport where I have ever heard that, lol.

i literally just can't when it comes to anything involving a ball and i'm extremely clumsy in everyday life but i've had more than a few people compliment me about my form and flexibility with weghts and yoga. always nice to hear when you grow up thinking you aren't a physically talented person.
― you bet, nancy (map), Tuesday, 22 May 2018 04:04 (six years ago) link
Yeah p much me. I was klutzy and slow at processing, like I'd always fuck up drills or be unable to understand what the coach was yelling at me to do. I did become ok at baseball but that's a slower sport. The fact that there's this sport where all you have to do is pick up heavy shit with good form at your own pace is a revelation for me.

Yeah man, it makes you hungry. Still haven’t quite found the right balance between adequate protein/calories for strength gains and not growing my belly.

i find myself hungriest on heavy deadlift days. like yesterday at work i was seriously considering eating the tums from my desk drawer, on some ate-all-the-tarragon-drank-all-the-soy-sauce shit
― adam, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 11:42 (six years ago) link
i basically had to stop lifting cause it made me insanely fat, but i lost the weight and im back baby lol
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 23 May 2018 15:31 (six years ago) link
i did some cleans after getting stoked on those oly lifting videos, felt like a total spazz cld see getting into the form tho theres a lot going on there very diff from power lifts
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 23 May 2018 15:33 (six years ago) link
I'm usually fine for most of the day, everything measured out like "Ok, here's my 3 eggs with veggies for breakfast, here's my mid-morning protein bar, here's my grilled chicken lunch, here's my afternoon protein drink and fruit, here's my sensible dinner," but then around 10pm I'm just like "UNNNNGH ALL THE CALORIES" and wind up making myself a ridiculous shake and then still being hungry and eating another meal.

just after lifting is fine
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 27 May 2018 14:19 (six years ago) link
also just lifting is fine
you should just figure out how much protein you need per day and if shakes help you get there that's fine. Some say eat more protein on the days you lift than the days you don't. Doubt it makes a massive difference as long as you're overall eating enough protein.

the obsession with consuming mass amounts of protein is kinda goofy ppl get all fucked up over their diets, indulge in wild bro science, doin a lil bit of lifting really doesnt require super special feeding

There's a rings dude at my gym, also walks on his hands and stuff like that. Sometimes I'm jelly, seems like a cooler kind of strength than just lifting in a way.

I helped a guy move some furniture the other day and it wasn't hard at all, while he was complaining about his back. That was cool I guess.

Hmmm, I think I am hard now and pre-Trump and the ensuing drinking lots wtf'ness, I was almost ripped. When I am actively lifting I do 2 protein shakes and 4 eggs a day. I don't do it for building but more for cutting weight since I also switch to mostly veggies, quinoa and fish. I have a concept2 rower in front of my tv and try to get in 40k a week. I used to do a lot of boot camp and kickboxing types of workouts and always use handweights/dumbbells, 10-30 pounds for boot camp and 8 pounds for shadowboxing/plyo. My partner and I moved our house 3 years ago, by ourselves with stairs, and most of the issues weren't from the weight but from my height and having to lift furniture repeatedly above my mass (I'm 5'5"). I really, really need to get back into shape.

Current program I'm supposed to incorporate a light cardio day (20-30 min jog or something along those lines) and try to do a lot of walking. Agree I feel best when I do some of both, I like the confidence boost from lifting and the stress relief from cardio.
