what would show you that he is strong? i dont get you...



you should take up mma or boxing aswell then, weighlifting doesnt have much carry over to fighting skills, and anyway being bigger would help u in a fight, especially a fight in the street...

oh yeah and about jdid sendin u those messages about andalite: are u shittin me? he sends me them all the time too!

I know right bro? I can only have 50 pm's and my mailbox keeps getting full from his pm's......shit....

I used to wrestle which was a lot of fun but honestly the main thing I learned is that for unskilled people, all that really matters is strength. Even among some of the better wrestlers all the that seemed to matter was strength, until you got to the really good wrestlers, where technique and endurance took over. However mma fighting would be really fun, and it would translate to really solid endurance for military service.

Dude if you got some endurance and technique you would destroy at it, you already have the strength and at 15 you would destroy a lot ofm ore advanced guys through sheer strength

Comments:

Worst.Workout.EVER..... It was horrible. I was really sore from monday, I could barely walk. I also got 4 hours sleep last night. My workouts were also out of order, my day 1 was today with my day 3 workout only being monday. Fuuuuckkkk..... I couldn't bench 235 for more than 1 rep, when I benched it for a decent 3 on monday. Then I couldn't even bench 225 for more than one rep. Then I pretty much gave up on the 4th rep of 290. Then my form even got sloppy on rows. Then since I haven't run in a while 2 miles at what should be a super easy talking pace was actually somewhat hard. If I wasn't so constrained by the routine I wouldn't of gone today, cause I definitely wasn't feeling it...

Sorry to hear about the shitty workout, mate. Since I stay up a lot and barely get any sleep (average is like 5 hours a night at the MOST) let me offer some advice: I don't know why this works but it does and it will. If you're going to be up: EAT A LOT OF FOOD. It doesn't replace sleep but it cushions you. Also, if you're going to workout at night, eat a HUGE lunch with carbs and what-not. For dinner, go with lean protein and some veggies but very few. Then, sip a protein shake and either eat a banana or mix some dextrose (I go 2 scoops dex and 2 scoops whey) into your shake and sip that throughout your workout. Your during-workout drink is a must regardless of sleep IMO but it helps especially when you're sleep deprived like today. Oh, regarding the shake, don't let there be more than a 5 minute gap between sips. What I normally do is fill a container and bring a bottle of water with me. After each and every set, I take a sip. I normally finish my entire shake around the time of my key lifts and then run on just the water during my accessory and supplementary lifts. This is just what I've found works for me. But in any case, I think a pre/during workout meal is just as important if not more than a post workout meal.

Thanks thats good stuff. I've been getting more sleep senior year but getting up at 5:45 every day doesn't help, and I'm gonna be up tonight doing work too I've never had a during workout drink, might have to try that. I eat a lot more when I stay up late though.

There is no reason you shouldnt be getting 8 hours of sleep every night. Sleep is the most important part of working out, more than any pre/intra/post workout meal. Just go to sleep earlier.

Yeah but when you get home at 4:15, then have to go do something till 10, then have to do a bunch of homework, it gets hard. Last semester I went to bed every night at 9:30. I'm gonna start that again.

Tblock you have to be exaggerating or you are managing your time wrong. Sleep is definitely important.
