From what I understand, the fitband is a pedometer that goes on your wrist. Jerk off and it tracks that as a workout. Do push ups and nothing. You can get an arm strap and a free app on your phone and have the same information.

I'm actually trying to build tolerance to cold showers. I can't go completely 100% cold water yet, but I'm getting there. I will give this method a few tries as well.

I do some things to failure - mostly body weight stuff like push ups and dips. I've mentioned several times that I rarely lift heavy anymore. There's nothing wrong with lifting to failure if that's what you're into. I'm not. If you are used to it, of course your recovery times will be shorter. Ever since I've discovered how awesome yoga can be, post workout soreness isn't really an issue. There really is no cookie-cutter routine that works for everyone. I have several bulging discs (in my thoracic spine at that) that eventually led to nerve damage and muscle atrophy, especially around my left shoulder blade. Most of my workouts are somewhat limited (like Benching) and designed to increase mobility. Basically I'm trying to keep functioning and keep that dull pain right between my shoulders away. when I take a few days off, my back reminds me.

Working to failure depends on your individual recuperative ability and physiology. if you're young, I say go for it if you believe it helps. But I am 33. If I lift to failure, I won't be able to move for a week. Benching to failure is completely different from toe lifts to failure.

twitching? The extraocular muscles around my right eye have been twitching today. Not sure how well a pic will illustrate it and its not exactly voluntary.
-
I twitch all the time. From what I understand, its more a sign of lack of sleep than anything else. It gets really weird when it starts on a big muscle group like your quads or hamstrings.

I don't have the app, but I just try to maintain a simplistic 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein and carbs to fat. (protein is useless without carbs to break it down) Easier said than done! EVen if you are moderately active, you will need more than 2000 calories a day. Maybe there are sex/height/weight adjustments you can make?

Remember when Alice posted a pic of Floppin saying Floppin is the same size as Alice?

I'm going off one day of watching training camp so someone may contradict me, but I will say light years ahead of Smith. Poole runs kinda similar - low, quick, elusive. The difference is that Barner hits holes with authority while Poole dances around in the backfield (think Deshaun Foster)

Man I would love to be able to get back in that sort of condition

585 is ridiculous with a barbell. I don't think I've ever seen it.
-
With bumper plates - Hell yes. Otherwise, no.

The simplest way is to increase weight and lower the reps. You have to overload muscles in order to get them to grow. Also the nutrition advice other people gave is good info.

^that's what I used to take. never had much improvement from it. but I never loaded or took it daily so I could avoid that marshmallow look that creatine gives some people.

190 should be fine. Its on the high side, but as long as the rest of his diet follows suit, its not a dangerous level (over 2 grams per pound)

Double post

My stroller run on Saturday seems to have aggravated an old war injury. gonna take it easy this week

Wondering why males are checking you out instead of them?

Tire flipping is part of several programs. Crossfit does have a team tire flipping event. 1 mile tire flip among a 5 person team.
-
that's probably the weight with rim and fully inflated, but it could be the tire alone. The one I was talking about, it was wide (diameter wise) and thick. To pick it up, my chin would touch the top outer wall. if I wasn't perfectly centered, it would just roll away. much too thick to simply push over at that point.
-
Yeah that's young buck weight, man. Do you use a trap bar to deadlift? But back to the tire... 650 lbs? I gotta see this tire. I used to use one that was 350 and it was a bitch to flip because of its size moreso than its weight. IIRC, it was R55
-
Any concrete makers nearby? Ask for some discarded rebar perhaps? I don't know. it does sound like a good idea to deadlift a tire.
