i think i have to stop my food cheating day.  i keep my sodium below recommended limits and calories around 1700 per day.  but one day a week i get some shit food.  two weeks in a row i stuffed myself at a buffet.  i feel guilty for some reason.  its odd.

Can't tell if srs.

But anyway, 1,700 is pretty low. Do you get hungry all the time?

am srs

sort of...but i eat something every 3 hours so im usually ok

Well I don't reckon you should feel guilty. As long as you're not eating like 5,000 cals or something ridiculous like that on your "cheat" days you should be fine.

Also remember the cardio you're doing is burning up a fair few cals anyways.

ya i burn about 600 on the treadmill and i dunno how much doing a light workout after....prolly a 100 or so.


and i might have eaten 5000 cals today lol

Seriously? That's either a fucking LOT of food, or just a lot of shit food.

saw a study on the news just now that said stretching does not prevent injuries versus not stretching.  found that interesting since i dont stretch.

well usually 1700.  i would say about 5 days a week i stay around 1700.

there's also 5 studies saying that stretching does prevent injury.

Yup, that is true. I never stretch before a workout, I actually feel as if my muscles tire if I do so. It also doesn't really help in any way.

The study was made about 2 years ago but most people still ignore it unfortunately.

No, Haibai... there actually aren't. This study was pretty conclusive - if you look at stretching in a team about 5 years ago, you would see that everybody just did static stretches, but now it isn't encouraged until your muscles are warmed up, and even then it should be light static stretching. Dynamic stretching is a different thing altogether because it's pretty much like doing exercise already, whereas static stretching is an unnatural thing for the body.

Static stretching is only recommended for those who have very tight muscle areas - in which case it does help because it loosens them up... but in any other case you shouldn't be doing them before a workout. I have to do lower body muscle stretches because my hamstrings and calves are ridiculously tight, but upper body I don't touch and I don't get injured.

lol. struggling to get the full extent of the joke?

nah i got it, but it wasn't funny

I do crunches and push-ups in the mornings. Keeps me going.

Got back into it today after a week off with the flu. Upped weights and could only get through half my routine. It was pretty fkn hot though, 33 C with 60% humidity. But felt good to be back into it

Alright, got back to the gym today. Day 3 of 5x5. Felt the burn in my legs by the end of squats, burn in my upper back after rows and my arms feel tired after the bench.

also calculated my BMI, I'm overweight lol, feelsbadman.jpg

I do parallel, but not out of fear for my knees, but because me knees are already ruined, so i cant really go that far past parallel without having pain.
Its nothing serious, I'm just not as flexible in my knees as i used to be.

tl;dr: Go past parallel if possible
