lads/ladies quick question

would it be counter productive to work out twice a day?

ive started doing weights in the morning before my friend goes to work, he has a nice set up in his garage ,we do about 40 min

but seen as im off college for the summer i have a lot more time on my hands and the days are long when you get up at 7am, would it be counter productive to go to the gym myself a few hours later? should i just aim for muscles that hadnt been used so much that morning? bit of a noob to weights

i do intend on running/sprints quite a bit but at the moment with a leg injury it'll have to wait

Clarence setting yet another PR. I can't see it taking all that much longer before he hits triple BW.

actually forget it after weights today i can barely move my arms i think that answers my question

@Rossin: Seeing as you will have time on your hands and if you had the cash, you could pick yourself up a foam roller and some resistance bands and book a session or two with a PT to work out a mobility/flexibility routine that you could do. This I think would have a positive effect on your training and help with prehab/rehab.

Just an idea

Rossin

thanks tommyknocker i hadnt heard of them before, will look into it now

Have a look at this E-book on myofascial release for some ideas on the use of a foam roller. And as I said try to get a mobility/flexibility routine sorted which will complement your other training.

Ben Dunne Jervis opened a good forty minutes late this morning, apparently someone slept it out!

The guy who did show up wasn't due to start til 12, he did apologise personally to a lot of people though. Fair play to him.

Quater squats with way too much weight while wearing trainers and a weightlifting belt is the new fitness craze I see.

I wouldnt recommend no runners for squatting if they were flat footed.

I could understand it if we are talking about running shoes with the big shock absorbing heels but I squat in an old pair of vans and I never felt any issues with instability.Maybe Im not squatting enough for it to be an issue yet:D

vans and trainers ain't the same thing in my book...

Yeah, any vans I had were quite flat and more like converse allstars than running shoes.

I like training in vans, nice and flat and light. I remember seing an old vid of Dorian Yates training in big leather boots, even did cardio in them, that's bad-ass, lol

Skate shoes usually compress more than Chucks.
If you need to double check this run your hand around the inside sole of an old pair of chucks and an old pair of Skate shoes.

The Vans usually have a big imprint of your toes, ball and heel.
The Chucks won't.

They're talking about slip on vans, not skate shoes.

They are plimsoles.
I grew up in a time when males didn't wear them a soon as they had the choice.

Where is going Paleo on a scale of 1 to Sodomy?

EDIT: this may require its own thread.

It depends on whether you just cut out carbs or tell people you're going paleo, brah.

You mirin my nutritions. Come at me.

Molly

It's not that bad. I found cutting out dairy to be the hardest part as i had basically been drinking 2 litres of milk every day for the past 3 or 4 years. It helps if you really like sweet potatoes and brocolli

Serious respect and admiration for that young woman. So inspirational.

jive

That race video was good when I saw her fall I thought it was going to be some lame video about just finishing and I was gonna freak out because that'd be dumb as shít. The other girls might have to start questioning why they participate in a short distance event where a competitor falls over and they still get beat!
