I couldn't complete the 80 box jumps in 40 mins today (the other exercises were 50 kettle bell swings -- I accidentally 75, 25 pull ups -- I had to use an elastic band as an assist, 100 reverse crunches, 100 push ups, 50 sledgehammer-tyre strikes, and then 200 strikes on a 100lb bag but I went a bit over) as part of a crossfit routine after biking yesterday;

what should I be doing pre/post biking to avoid being tight and kinda burnt out the next day? Your insights are appreciated, thanks.

You don't need reach to tell you to just eat more.

Also back update. Definitely very visible real delt gains.

increase total calories, increase total protein. will probably require you make a diet log until you figure out how much you need to eat.

I'd also do some weight lifting.

Hitting the weights once or twice a week won't make you #swole, but it'll keep you from looking so scrawny.

we did this stupid drill yesterday and i fucked up my wrist again. apparently the proper way to dive in volleyball is rolling through your wrists. so now its swollen again, hurts to rotate, and i have blisters from diving all over the waxed floor. i think i have to quit because i'm not trying to fuck my wrist up forever. we will see.

I know a lot of people who've permanently fucked their body up playing that sport. Menorocks is one of those people. His shoulder is literally destroyed. Surgery for him was merely to "prolong" its future problems.

Anyone had experience with lateral pelvic tilt? The right side of my pelvis is WAY higher than the left, to the extent that it's obvious simply from looking at my waistline in a mirror. I've tried stretching (hams, quads, psoas), core strengthening, and this exercise where I lie on my back with knees bent 90 degrees and attempt to push one leg forward and pull the other back to create resistance while maintaining my position. All this and I still feel like a walking teeter-totter. Maybe I need squatz and oatz?

Bulk progress!

Up to 192-194 lbs from 166-167 on June 1st (lol!). Gettin' fat for the winter.

I've never tested my 1RMs before, so these last two weeks I've been testing my strength to see what I can put up.

Bests so far: (all done completely raw - no belts,straps,chalk etc. Just...t-shirt and shorts).

Bench: 280
Squat: 395
Deadlift: 415

Since I haven't failed a 1 RM attempt yet, attempting 285, 405 and 425 this week. Hopefully before the end of this bulk I can hit something like 300, 440 and 465+. That would be cool.

Arms up to 17 inches, calves almost 17 inches too. Yeahhh!

If it's not paining you to do exercises and isn't affecting your balance, I'd say just train like normal. If you're hoping to possibly correct the problem, that's beyond my knowledge but possibly Reach or Rubix might know.

Bulking fucking rocks.

Deadlift is still dead, havent really been hitting it much because it twigs my back out so much.
Squats been repping out 495/515 for 5-8, so I'm fairly sure thats a PR.
Hit 460 on bench (counting because some doofus yanked at it but I barked him away and pressed it), obviously not rest pause but I'm pretty stoked about finally going BEYOND where my fucking high school numbers were in bench.

Up to 250 (derp, vegas trip and eating like shit) but still happy with what I have. It's sorta weird, abs are mostly gone, lower back etc are getting soft, but upper body still looks good. Whatevz, not gonna argue.

Really focusing on bringing my back up, getting happier about my width and spreading. Front still sucks, back I look pretty good.

I could use some advice for getting toned and possibly a little muscle gain. I'm 19(20 in 2 months), 5'9, 32 inch waist, and 177 pounds.

Currently I do cardio(jogging, cycling, and occasional jump rope) and weights 2-3 times a week for about an hour and a half to two hours.

I'm going to be hitting the gym in just less than 2 weeks after a very long time off. Just wondering what you guys are paying monthly for your gym memberships?
