So…without school you can go earlier and get back…earlier! Hey, that sounds kinda cool!
Hey there again Kaze.
I just have a few other quick questions.
I do a lot of strength work on my legs you have suggested, and ( for some reason ) building muscle on my legs seems to come along fairly well by comparison. I’ve been concerned about keeping agility and flexibility. I’m not sure how to describe it, but I’ve been noticing I’ve been feeling a bit of decreased range of motion in my hips and legs. Is this caused by improper stretching, or maybe improper form when I do exercises that work my lower body, or the post workout recovery problems I’ve had? Or is it something else entirely?
I do the rowing, deadlifts, and squats you mentioned. My cardio stuff that effects lower body I do some stand up and ground based MT stuff, some running and occasional mountain biking.
( so you know what stuff I do that works the lower body, I’m not sure if you’d need that info to tell what might cause this )
That’s really no reason at all to not go to the gym.
The only way to retain your strength is to be doing your routine.
You should be doing the strength training program I’ve posted over 9000 times in this thread.
If you don’t have access to a gym, when will you have access to one? And what are your goals, anyway? I don’t think I ever caught that.
Chances are it’s just from soreness. Do post-workout stretching and maintain proper form and you’ll avoid injuries and flexion issues.
Except I don’t bother driving the bus for more than an hour at monday, wednesday, and friday just to lift barbells, you know.
Point is that I am skipping gym, and I want to know that my excersices isn’t totally in vain (which of couse it isn’t, but just how effective it is).
I didn’t post to get my discipline criticized, so why don’t you just let Kaze do the answering?
Gah, I guess I could go :meh:
He already answered, and it’s entirely the same what I said:
Then you don’t want it bad enough and you don’t belong in this thread. Lazy people are weak people.
Yeah, but I was busy writing a post, and I didn’t read the thread meanwhile.
I am not as interested in driving the bus as I am to lift barbells.
Anyway, I did edit the post you quoted, and wrote that I would go to the gym, guess you didn’t read that.
Or you chose to ignore to get a chance to call me weak.
I’ll have free access to the SB gym when I start college in late August.
And my goals are to get leaner and get a cut swimmer’s body…without actually swimming. If that makes sense.
It’s tough to explain.
Yes, I did read what you posted. And at this point I’m not sure whether you are a bus driver, or if you have to ride the bus to get there.
You really think I would have to take an offbeat chance to call anyone weak on here, like I need to reassure myself of something? I don’t need to prove anything to anyone here. My point was you are weak and lazy for giving up on the gym simple because you’d have to take a half an hour ride to get there. You know, physical weakness isn’t the only thing a person can possess, mental weakness exists too.
Which is exactly what I was getting at. If you’re going to go, good for you, but the fact is you made a piss-poor excuse for not going in the first place.
English isn’t my first language, I wasn’t aware that it was specifically called to “ride the bus”.
Actually that was a joke. I made a sarcastic comment because I thought it was over the top to call me lazy and weak, when all I asked for was if I could compensate at home for not going to the gym, so that I didn’t necessarily have to spend half of my holidays riding the bus.
I’m not attacking your personality or anything, so don’t get all worked up.
Edit: And you answered my question, so everything is fine I guess.
Thanks and g’night.
Though I get what you’re saying (and I agree about making the effort and taking the bus - that sounds wrong), it doesn’t sound like it would be feasible for him to walk, since even the bus ride takes half an hour.
Unless you’re competitively running, a $20 pair of shoes from Wal-Mart (or whatever your national equivalent is, if they haven’t taken over there yet) will do just as well as a $300 pair of Adidas with the computer chip in them and shit.
Unless you have a foot injury or something, specialty running shoes aren’t necessary at all.
When I do cardio on the track or around town, I wear these:

Very comfy shoes.
However, I lift in these:

I used to wear a pair of old worn out Chuck Taylor’s but they started to fall apart from doing heavy squats and cleans :fffuuu:
Yeah I don’t recommend running in Converses. They’re too heavy and doesn’t hold the foot enough. I once did a school marathon with Converses and almost broke an ankle.
Well of course. Running in a hard-soled shoe is like driving on squared wheels.
Actually I ran with Converses because I wear them normally and didn’t know the marathon was this day.
Ignoring the idiocy and rage further back in the thread, what made you all want to start body building/training/other?
You know Dias, you are entitled to your opinion, but I think it’s prudent to point out the obnoxiousness of coming into a thread about the topic of physical conditioning and beginning a debate about the merits of the very focus of the topic. You really didn’t need to start this debate here, as there has been a lot of legitimate posts asking for information, and there has been a lot given out. I’m not sure if your heart is in the right place or not, but your posts haven’t been. You have to have known what you said would start a long reaction, so why would you do it?
[COLOR=‘Red’]On those two very well made points (Max’s and Sanford’s), let’s drop this now please, before I have to start handing out infractions.
I’m gonna clear out a load of this argument to keep from scaring people off. Dias if you don’t actually have any specific fitness training or body-building questions to ask or points to make, kindly fuck off.
