Re: Misc. progress thread

No, no sharp pain (just mild / hopefully normal discomfort from pressing my hands together like that under pressure for a minute)

Haha ok cool that's a good sign. Very unlikely that it's cts or related to the median nerve. Something else I guess. *shrug*

grats breaking 200 man 8)

I have no clue what to do atm, I haven't been regularly working out since football ended and i want to get started again. I don't know if i should go with a ss/sl type routine or if my base strength is high enough for me to be looking at something else now.

SS GOMAD SS GOMAD

(in seriousness an intermediate routine would be better suited for your needs, depending on what your goals are)

Re: Misc. progress thread

I've been able to supinate my right hand a little more each day -- most normal function has returned and the pain has almost vanished, whew. I was really worried I tore something.

But yeah no more straight-bar bicep curls for me. Too hard on the wrists.

Re: Misc. progress thread

I got back into working out for a few weeks and managed to hurt my shoulder. I'm not sure what I did but it's definitely the joint and even simple things like showering are painful. I'm really upset that I can't keep working out. Getting it checked out next week. Hopefully it's not serious

Re: Misc. progress thread

I just started working out recently, joined a gym, made some goals. My friend Erin went to the gym with me today and showed me some pretty awesome lifting exercises.

I felt super accomplished because I was lifting the same weight she was on a lot of the exercises. First ever deadlifts, and I was doing 65lbs and know I could do more pretty easily with regular workouts. She was also pretty amazed at how quickly I picked stuff up.

Hopefully gonna post here a bit more regularly with some updates and stuff 8)

Re: Misc. progress thread

the main downside of alcohol is that it's a quick way to add lots of fat to your frame, especially when you're having several drinks a night

Re: Misc. progress thread

Arch: I haven't read up on this to know the fine details or anything, but apparently the body prefers to metabolize alcohol before tapping into other fat or carbohydrate stores. I assume, though (as you might be implying), that as long as one isn't binge drinking it's probably not a big issue. I figure otherwise it's just a macronutrient to be factored into the daily numbers like any other.

Re: Misc. progress thread

sort of, the returns on explaining it get diminishing really fast though when what you said is more or less a sound principle to act on

if you wanna drink and keep gains or read about drinking and gains in general, this is the best article on lifting and alcohol I've read: http://bayesianbodybuilding.com/science-binge-drinking/
