Try to just run at a decent pace constantly if it really gets unbearable tone it down walk/power walk and catch your breath and then start it backup again.nukchebi0 wrote:
My friend told me that dips and pushups both recruit more muscle fibers than flat bench press. Is this true? I'd imagine so, because they are both body weight exercises.
Also, I recently started doing intervals on the treadmill - you know you are pathetically out of shape when running 45 seconds at 12 miles per hour (this is supposed to approximate a 300 meter sprint, though obviously with the slow pace it ends up being a bit less) is pushing it. I really wish I had a track accessible so I could do these properly, but sadly the treadmill will have to suffice.
finally got to do a bit of decline press yesterday.
my dips weren't hitting my lower chest all that well so I figured I'd give decline bench press a go and to be honest it seems to work quite well. this is possibly because I seem to never get the lower part but i felt pretty sore there today. I guess i can throw it in and out of my regime and see what the long-term is. I also did dips again and it turns out I wasn't going far enough down (I had never had a mirror in front of me so I couldn't really tell) so I might be especially sore because I did those with better form but it still seemed like they didn't hit the lower chest as well as decline BP.

First workout in two months. Missed this shit.

So i'm done with physiotherapy this year.
The pain is almost completely gone, and what's left of it feels more like i bumped it against something the day before, which is a lot less painful and discomforting than how it used to be.
I'm going on holiday for two weeks next friday so i won't be doing any lifting, and when i get back i'm going back to lift 3 times a week and dieting. I will also be using creatine.
I still have to use very low weights and high reps (for example: concentration curls with 4kg 3x18) but i am allowed to up the weight and the reps slowly (but surely!)
I want to start using creatine, but will it help if i'm still using very low weights? If not, i might as well wait with it until I've reached a certain point with all my lifts were i would benefit from it.

Creatine probably won't help it's more for the last rep on the heavy sets. Personally I'd rather not take it and do without.

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
It's also extremely cheap, so why not?
I've read up a lot on the stuff. I myself don't like it since it makes me piss a lot. I really didn't feel as though the extra rep/energy was enough to be pissing like a racehorse so often. I feel as though even if it gives me that extra rep I'd probably could do without and just go for it mentally.

Then again, I just realized that I used to have to piss all the time when I worked out and took creatine even though I'm still drinking about a gallon of water per day... Hm...Passwater: Does increased creatine spill into the urine increase the volume of urine?
Greenhaff: No, what we have actually found is during the initial days of supplementation you actually get a decrease in urinary volume but then after two days your urinary volume returns to normal. That's when you are ingesting creatine monohydrate on its own. If you are ingesting a solution of carbohydrates in conjunction with the creatine, then your urinary volume actually increases just by virtue that you are ingesting more fluids.
i personally don't experience any bloating or need to piss like a race horse and i take creatine monohydrate after every workout. I use a specific brand, Degussa CreaPure.

All I'm saying is be very careful take it according to your body weight it can damage your kidneys.
meh, a teaspoon of creatine (5g) wont harm anybody
Honestly, I'm not too worried about the dosage, and the potential damage it can do to kidney's if you fuck it up.
All i want to know is, will it help me gain muscle mass faster, even when not pushing your absoute limit, weight wise?
If not, I won't be using it during my post-recovery period.

Well, it does increase muscle mass because it basically gives your muscles more water weight.Kampframmer wrote:

I'd say it would be pretty pointless.
so i've been thinking about having a chest rotation that goes like this:
chest workout1: decline everything (bench press, dumbbell press/fly's etc)
chest workout2: flat everything
chest workout3: incline everything
is this overkill? should I just mix up what I do inside each workout (decline bench press, incline dumbell press, flat fly's on one day then flat BP, incline fly's, decline DB press another day).
Everytime I do chest I feel as though I do or don't hit one area too much or too little. Never even across the whole thing.

Oh wow, I just found the report on the experiment I was guinea pig for, possibly I did the follow up project though.

Maximal sprints are not fun, worse when you have a line in your arm and are breathing through a mouthpiece, I didn't do the live biopsies.

Works for me.

Its not very interesting, just a tiny building block in sports science.
