    Cole and Edwards are good back ups. Hopefully they can step with some gas in the tank since they've been relegated to back up roles.

    I ran 6 miles last night for the first time in my life. Did it in under an hour. I wanna say 50 mins. My legs were tired as hell but I had almost no upper body fatigue. To summarize my feels at time I will express my nerdom. http://youtu.be/iEB1PLC3KZA?t=4m13s

    Im 180 and I can't imagine squatting that much. It would probably break my back lol

    I've also got a question for you bench press experts. Im trying to really build my chest. But I'm trying to do it without a lot of weight because I don't have a spotter. I can do 135 really well with good form. What I've been trying lately is this: 135 BP 3x8 Then in between those sets do incline bench press of 95 x 8 I don't exactly know what I'm doing. I'm just trying make sure I feel it in my titties the next day. I'm trying to build the muscle through reps not so much weight. But it's strange because sometimes I feel like I'll do this routine to where I won't be able to rep it anymore. But then when I finished a workout I can pull off a set of push ups and I'll think to myself what the hell?

    Has anyone had any issues with the cold effecting them? Feels like lately my body has been going into winter mode. I feel slightly less energetic. Wanting to eat more etc. Recently Ive been able to run 3 miles a few times a week with no cramps or anything. But the last week or so I feel like I only have the energy to do a mile. Maybe I'm just getting lazy. I've also had some issues with the ab wheel lately but I think I finally sorted it out last night. The past few weeks when I've tried to use it I wasn't feeling anything in my core. It was just hurting my back. I read online that sometimes when that happens it's a sign that your abs are too weak to handle it right now. So your body will compensate by using your back. I think it's partially that and bad form perhaps. Last night I tried it again with much better results. I realized when I use the ab wheel I (personally) need to arch my back to avoid pain and feel it in my core. I'm not sure if anyone else is like that but that is whats working for me again. I probably have underlying back issues. I've noticed that my ribs don't look even. I also started doing leg raises and weighted incline sit ups. That poo is hard as fug.

    Id like some advice from you guys as far as incorporating more running into my routine. I'm hesitant to do so because I fear it would be detrimental to lifting. But I feel like my body can take it, "shape" wise. My week goes as follows Monday- Arms/ Chest- Finish the work out with jumping rope at a high pace for 1-2 mins at a time. Then a set of 12-15 ab wheel extensions. Alternate for 3 sets Tuesday-Squat/Leg press- Finish with Jump Rope/ab wheel Wednesday- Arms/Chest- Finish with Jump rope/ab wheel Thursday- Pure Cardio- Run 2 miles, Then run/Jump rope up a steep incline Friday- Dead lifts- Finish Jump rope Ab wheel Saturday and Sunday I usually rest unless a day is skipped or I feel fat and wish to run. I guess it seems like a lot of cardio already but only one day is really distance running. Im starting to feel myself plateau with the regular jump rope and I think I may try a speed rope so hopefully I can incorporate double unders.

    The cross over took me forever but watching some youtube videos helped me a lot. I don't have it perfect but I can do it a couple times in a row now. Getting the first revolution is the hardest part.
  9. OneBadCat
    Word. I finally mastered the cross over. One thing I do to challenge myself now is run up hills while skipping rope. Really works that lower V crotch area/plus calves/cardio.

    I have lost weight but my back and lats are a little bit stronger. I've been running and jumping rope a lot lately and it's made my legs leaner. But I've probably lost some power. It's going to suck but I gotta get back on the horse. It's too beneficial of a work out to give up.

    Going to get back on deadlifts today after about a month away from them. I've been doing every other lift but after I pulled my back I decided I needed a break and then haven't gone back on it since. Luckily my core has improved since then and I'm interested to see what I can do today. I'm hoping the weight won't feel like 900 lbs haha.

    Started in incorporating my own ab/core routine the past 2 weeks and I'm already seeing results. I've really started to cut down on my body fat %. I purchased an ab wheel and use that sucker every day and then on days that I lift I do 3 sets of about 12 post workout on the ab wheel and in between those sets I do 30-40 seconds of HITT jumping rope. I commit every Thursday to running anywhere between 1-2 miles depending on how I feel but every session ends with me jumping rope up steep hills in the neighborhood. That works my lower core like nobodies business. Im starting to get the V My biceps are looking great and my lat pull downs have gone up to 225, which I think is pretty good for weighing 170 right now. Im also finally getting results with my chest. I've been using machines to slowly train my self to be able bench press comfortably and its working. I'm going to be a ripped mofo.

    Havent posted in a while but my biceps are really starting to come along and my jump roping has really started to build my calves and thighs. I went on a 3 mile run last week and I killed it no spoon. I didn't run it fast but I was well paced and I didn't have any cramps. Im a 1 mile runner and go home, that hasn't really happened to me before. So I'm going to start running more during the week. My deadlift has sort of gone down but not by a lot. I think it's mainly from skipping deads lately but I'm putting up 265 with good form instead of 310 all on my back which is a good thing. I bought an ab wheel today because I really want some fuggin abs. The jump rope has given a slit hint of ab, but I want the whole 6 pack.

    There are only a handful of players in the league that are Ginn fast and Ginn's one of them.

    I couldn't agree more with this. If you are lifting weights combined with cardio your weight is going to fluctuate. If you get obsessed with the numbers you might not eat as much as you should. Your muscles won't repair themselves as well, you'll have less energy to work out etc.

    Basically took the past 2 weeks off due to random illness. I think it was allergies or some sort of cold but damn it was annoying. I tried to do some small maintenance workouts. Basically just push ups and pull ups. The one time I really tried to workout I ended up throwing up. Glad to say I'm feeling good now and ready to bust ass.
  17. OneBadCat
    That really doesn't sound bad at all.

    Cool thing I've noticed about getting in better shape is that I don't have to use antiperspirant anymore. I can use straight deodorant and not worry about sweating my pits off every day. I guess I'm sweating more efficiently.

    Pulled my back doing upper body yesterday. I actually pulled it during my pre workout stretch. Wasn't going to puss out so I finished my workout anyway. I'm reluctant to go at it today though because it's leg day and leg press can have a tendency to stress your back. May just do some intense jump rope today.

    Starting to see nice gains on my biceps. They're cut too which is nice. My squat is still pathetic but I'm going from the ground up now to really focus and build strength. My leg press has improved and I think part of that has come through jumping rope, constantly supporting my body weight etc..I skipped deadlifts last week. Finally got back on it yesterday. The weight felt heavier than I wanted it to. I can now do the Ali shuffle while skipping rope which is kinda cool. Still working on the cross over.

    You runners here blow my mind. The max I could ever run would be 2-3 miles. I'd be totally wiped out and might die if I had to do 10 miles. Is it all in the pace?

    Skipped leg day yesterday, went to the Kights game. Had 4 beers and stuffed myself with free food. But it was awesome food. Fish, steak, hummus, cheesecake, lamb. Felt like a fat POS later that night. Tried to go hard today and make up for it but my body felt tired.
  23. OneBadCat
    Nice

    I know I sound like a broken record by now but have you considered jumping rope? It's a lot less stress on your knees depending on your weight and you will burn calories at a much faster rate if you jump for 10-15 mins. It might also help aid you to get in shape for running. I've noticed that it's easier to run myself and I have a better spring in my step now after about a month of jump rope 4-5 times a week, off on weekends.

    Just turn sex into a HIIT routine.
