some sick shit right there. That 4 plate squat is very impressive. All the way down, no pussy shit. At my peak i was able to squat 8 times 205 deep. at a 145 lb weight. And the results are proven here on how important squats are for the legs. Very good height on that jump.

Originally posted by Domesticated Not true. Exercise boosts the immune system and can reduce inflammation. However, my personal experience says that this is only true for people who are at the top of their game. My father was an avid and talented runner. When he felt colds coming on, he would go out and fucking punish himself. He'd always wake up well the next day.

There's a drastic difference between the start and then actually already having the illness in full swing. By that point, your immune system is so overworked that exercising just ends up being detrimental to your body.
Your father obviously had an advantage because he was already a healthy individual who exercised frequently, but it also seems like he would give his immune system a kick early enough so that it wouldn't negatively impact on his recovery.

Re: The Bikram Yoga, care to point me to any good starting points? My neck/shoulders are pretty sore, and I spend a lot of time driving and sitting down these days. I can feel that my posture isn't as good as it should be.

Okay, that makes sense.

I'd just advise you to take a class. Unlike "spinning" and all that other rubbish, it's the kind of thing where you actually need an instructor. Apart from that, heating your house to 45 degrees would be kind of tough.

A class runs for 90 minutes and you stretch your back and neck constantly over that time. I don't think that looking up just one or two poses would be that beneficial, because some act as a warm up for others.

Still, I'm sure there are videos on youtube with every pose. They're pretty hard to explain by text or even pictures alone, as the techniques are exact and important. That's where the instructor comes along; they'll notice if you have your weight in the wrong spot, or feet too far apart, et cetera.

Originally posted by ziptnf What kind of protein are you eating?

Well, the protein in get in mince meat (7 % in fat), cottage cheese and vegetables mostly, plus the daily "recovery" drink, which adds some 30 g of protein to my daily supply.

quote:

Originally posted by ziptnf Remember, not all protein is good for your body. The high-protein, low-carb dieting fad that�s promoted for weight loss lacks a healthy balance of good carbs. This actually puts a heavy strain on your kidneys, and puts you at risk for future health problems and digestive disorders such as chronic constipation.

There are good carbs in there I think; the oatmeal is wholewheat, and the bread I eat is whole wheat. I drink a lot of water to keep my kidneys busy with all the protein intake, though it's just a tip I heard elsewhere. 2-3 turds a day..

quote:

Originally posted by ziptnf You need more fiber (100% whole wheat EVERYTHING), omega-3 fatty acids (avocados, tuna, fish oils), white meat, and balanced vegetable diets.

I take my omega-3-pills, vitamins, magnesium and chrome daily (but I'm not really a fan of fish, which is really bad, I know)

Originally posted by ziptnf If you want a more lean look, add Cardio X on days when you lift and do Ab Ripper. But then, you'll be spending almost 2 hours per day working out. I thought you didn't have time.

I had more time last week, and there are weeks I would have the time to go jogging or even make my 30 minute commute to the gym. The problem is weeks like this one, when I'll be working 12-14 hours a day, and still would like to work out.

I'll just take a look at myself on the mirror 2 weeks from now, and forget about my weight, and compare to my before-pictures to see if anything has happened

Originally posted by Vivid Boy last year, dislocated my knee and tore my ACL, MCL, PCL and both meniscus. Plus I had what they call a locked knee because the ligaments got trapped in the knee cap. A shit load of surgeries later and a year of rehab and im almost better....not quite better but almost

Oh man, sounds awful. I've got somekind of a cartilage problem in my right knee, and get chills over the crackle it makes during Plyo, though it's nothing like yours.

Yea I'm sure a class is probably better. I think my boss does it, might ask her.

Just did my first two P90X+ workouts, Upper Plus and Abs/Core Plus. Both surprisingly do-able, but very difficult and the moves were all so new, it was hard to keep up. I'll get used to it.

Abs/Core Plus had lots of hanging from the pull up bar and raising your legs. I hope that doesn't bother my shoulders later.

quote:

Originally posted by JEO Just did Kenpo and Ab Ripper a few hours ago, skipped them yesterday I really like the Ab Ripper workout, it's really intense compared to any other ab workouts I've ever done. I hope I just don't get bored of it. Also, why the heck have I put on 2 kg's since I started (~ 10 days)? I think there's nothing wrong with my diet, since it's really high in protein, really low in fat, and I've really cut down on carbs (my carbs mostly consist of the bowl of oatmeal I have in the morning and the odd piece of bread during the day) = about 1900-2200 kcal / day, of which I'd say 60-65 % is protein. I'm not swollen or anything, just wondering where this 2 kg's I've gained is.. I have solely been concentrating on doing the P90X classic, do you think I should add some cardio to my routine? The problem is I don't really have the time to jog / walk / run, and that's the main reason I chose P90X. What's wrong with your knee?

At ~2000 kcal / day, and 60-65% protein, you're eating close to 300g of protein a day, which is FAR more than you could possibly need, unless you're like 6"9' and 275 lbs of lean muscle... especially on a cardio/body weight focused program like P90X.

The average body typically can't/won't absorb more than 1.5 g of protein per pound of lean body mass a day. Any protein you consume beyond that is probably going to get converted into glucose, which is basically the same effect as though you had eaten additional carbs.

Lower your protein intake to like 30-40% depending on what kind of exercise you're doing (more protein for strength work w/ heavy weights). Keep carbs relatively low, and ditch the oatmeal/grains and have fresh vegetables and healthy starches like sweet potatoes or yuca instead (avoid rice, white potatoes, grains & beans).

I've been having some upper respiratory problems, my sinuses and throat have been really bothering me. I started working out this morning, but barely even made it halfway before I had to quit. It was burning so bad that I was starting to have trouble breathing. Coughing up stuff and taking breaks to blow my nose. It was too much. Was this a smart decision? A guy on my facebook was like "you should have kept going, game face, bro" and I vehemently disagree.

Aside from the fact that working out while sick has detrimental effects on one's immune system - SICK PEOPLE NEED TO STAY THE FUCK HOME FROM THE GYM. FUCK. God I cannot fucking stand people who spread their goddamn germs around to others when they need to be staying the fuck home to rest and get well.

Yes they do, but you can't do much about it.

Unless you want to start a fuss.

Yes well, fortunately I have a home gym. But the point stands. Totally inconsiderate.

p90x yoga and turning up the heat to max is an epic bikram cheap out

Of course and your friend is a clear idiot. Not being able to breathe properly is a sure sign you're not exactly at the top of your game.

I'm sorry but you are wrong. I read an article on CNN recently that said that working out while sick often reduces the amount of sick-days you have to take out by 36% on a global scale. You must not know alot of the human anathomy. And don't come with any of that "oh but im a doctor"-bullshit just because I'm new around here. It wont work.

Here's the article if you're interested in reading it. And maybe educate yourself a bit!

http://articles.cnn.com/2006-11-09/...ms?_s=PM:HEALTH

I'm plenty educated about it. In most cases of illness, working out is contraindicated.

Fuck! Just had the same experience as Jenny at the gym, assholes coughing everywhere as I am trying to get healthy. I don't care what studies say about shortening their time, which I disagree with, it's besides the point. Inconsiderate.

On a side not, I'm finally getting in shape! Not doing P90x, it's too boring. I need to be out and with people and checking out hot college girls on the treadmill while I pretend to lift a heavy weight on a machine with the pin out.

To be perfectly honest, you should already know how to eat healthy, and you shouldn't need to follow the nutrition guide. Just eat sensibly.

And yeah, you'd better get good at pushups and pull ups
