ddrruler's... OW MY ARM FUCKING HURTS

ddrruler · 06-1-2005, 07:47 PM

Ok, well this summer me and my friends plan on working out most of the summer. I started today lifting 20 pound hand weights[about 100 whatever for each arm twice], doing 100 sit ups and 20 push ups. I will also be bench pressing, swimming and joining either kendo/some form of martial arts or boxing anyone else going to try to do this or anything like this this summer?Also no soda/candy/junkfood only fruits vegetables and cereal. [none of the sugary stuff]

Ps:Serious posts only please k, thanks.

edit: oh yea also im unpluggin my computer and turning off internet after school finishs.

Make sure you take it slowly. If you do a lot of weight when you first start out, you're likely to pull muscles and injure yourself so you won't be able to do anything for many days or a few weeks. Take it easy, add on a little at a time. Good luck.

I don't think you know what your'e doing.

**Tasselfoot** · 06-1-2005, 07:52 PM

Thats nice ruler... but, uh... what are we supposed to post? You didn't ask for anything, just stated your plans.

Also, I think you mean Kenpo (in which I have a black belt)... Kendo is Japanese swordfighting, while Kenpo is similar to Tae Kwon-Do.

Lastly, by "whatever for each arm", do you mean repetitions?

**-Fallen-** · 06-1-2005, 07:52 PM

Good luck, don't push yourself too hard or else you won't be having a summer of anything :P

**Cenright** · 06-1-2005, 07:56 PM

Yeah, don't start out too hard, or you will burn yourself out.

**stretchypanda** · 06-1-2005, 07:58 PM

You should actually be doing a much smaller number of reps in sets. Say, 25 reps of curls, 25 reps of chest presses, 25 reps of dumbbell rows (just as an example), two or three sets a day, three days a week, along with cardio workouts (or you won't see any body definition). Situps are very bad for your back. You should try crunches and leg lifts. It's generally unwise to do strength training daily, because your muscles need a day off to repair, and that's what will give you definition.

I agree with AP, it really doesn't sound like you know what you're doing. Cutting back on sugar is good, though -- make sure you avoid stuff with artificial sweeteners as they only increase your cravings for sugar.

You should try getting a gym membership or check out some fitness websites. I'd be happy to give you a link to the site from which I get email newsletters.

EDIT: added stuff.

Yea I do mean repitions sorry im a little tired

and I was a yellow belt in Tar kwon-Do in 4th grade but I stopped and yes I meant kendo, but Kenpo would work also im not sure which type of martial arts I should take because I have forgotten most of the Tae Kwon-Do that I was taught and I just wanted to know people thoughts/idea or anything I could do to further my workout so im at my limit when im finished.

Oh don't forget to eat tons of Pasta and visit the Gym for tips on certain Protein products you should consume :P

Also, what benefit would you gain from cutting off the internet? You couldn't possibly train all day long. If you can, then you aren't doing enough.

Don't listen to him. Eating tons of pasta puts on tons of weight.

**KF91** · 06-2-2005, 01:22 PM

My friend started doing that like a week ago and somehow (?) he broke his leg excercising and now he can't do anything over the summer...

**Cenright** · 06-2-2005, 02:21 PM

Yes, He is going to be going through carbs really fast, and so pasta will be fine on the days that he works out.

You might want to also try a Calcium/Magnesium/Potassium/Zinc supplement. That will keep your soreness incredibly down.

UbEr_RaVe · 06-2-2005, 03:22 PM

Really though. Don't overdo it. 4 months ago, I was trying to deadlift 240 and my right leg went out on me. I could barely walk for at least 3 weeks and it still gives me some pain once and a while. I couldn't squat almost ANY weight for 6-7 weeks. Now I can finally deadlift 300 and like 2 weeks ago I squatted 255. w00t. Oh, and don't do steroids. XD.

Don't forget to say goodbye to your neck.
