I ran in the Koman Race For the Cure this past Sunday. My goal was 25 minutes. I came up the last hill to the finish line and saw the official clock. It said 24:50. I ran those last 50 or 60 yards faster than I've ever run before. I finished at 24:59.2. VICTORY! I'm sure the people gathered around the finish line were like "why is that idiot sprinting and celebrating like he won the race, didn't he see the other 150 people that already crossed the line?".

Bout time you picked something up. I forget what i have tonight. I know dips are involved. Oh, and incline bench presses. Which bring me to...
How do I get the bar off me after the set?
Bruh, I do weights and resistance bands 3 times a week.....
You're prolly working the bi's, tri's and thighs....aren't those plus pecs your big interest?
You should have a spotter...or just lift it to the cradle.

use the dumbulls for the incline bench. You can bring them lower and get more of a stretch, squeeze more at the top of the rep, incorporate a twisting motion to work different areas and it works more stabilizer muscles than a barbell press.

Good suggestion. I can try it. My dumbells only go to 52.5 each, though. I don't think it will be enough weight.
Then you're stronger than I.
I work out with 65s on flat bench press and then 50s on the incline after the flat press. Maybe if I did the inclines first, I'd use more weight.
Much harder to work with dumbells than a barbell. I work out with 160 with a barbell for flat bench presses. NO WAY I could do more than a couple reps each with 80# dumbells.

Are you wearing a brace for that knee?
Have you tried gel inserts for your shoes?
Do you have really good running shoes? (i prefer cross-trainers)
Eliptical machine?
-no, it just happened for the first time saturday & acted up again last night....i'm guessing i should probably get one. any recommendations?
-haven't considered it because i think it may make things worse
-yes, asics gel cumulus 10's...they've been treating me well, but it's probably time for a new pair. i think i may go down to jack rabbit over the weekend & have them assess my foot/strike & all that fun stuff.
i've been very curious about those vibram toe-glove sneakers...the change in running style (striking w/ the ball of the foot instead of the heel) might work out better for me.
-i don't belong to a gym. biking helps though
pretty sure this happened from the few times i've had to stop short or quickly dodge around pedestrians.
i'm pissed

WTF does a bag of peanuts have to to with a flagon of rice?
Clean and presses tonight, my favourite.
Oh, and ginger boy, I used the dumbbells for the incline bench press but I could do the 5x5s with 52.5 so I am going to have to go a different route. Maybe i can just get bigger dumbbells.
Anyone want a used 5-52.5 pound set of bowflex dial dumbbells? $250.

Sio, what are yous rippers caloric intake?
I'm still on 1,800 per day, tryin to get firm in the cage.
I am eating lots of dry salads, beans, nuts, fruits and veggies...cottage cheese (1%) and tofu are my main proteins (besides the protein shakes). Whats on your plates, bruhs?

Ser.
My poop doesn't smell as bad as when i consume red meat. That stuff makes my poop smell vile.
At any rate, this is a discussion about what is on the plate, not the emptying out of the contents of your plate into the toilet..see :halfstar:s 3' thread for that..........bruh.

Don't and won't ever pay much attention to my diet.
Coffee and Protein bar after morning workout
Usually a deli sandwich for lunch
couple of sodas and gatorades throughout the day
Whatever I want for dinner. Few glasses a wine.
I don't snack or do dessert.
I probably consume 2500 calories I day I'd guess. Been pretty flat at 185# for a couple months. I'd rather take additional weight off through increased cardio.

I do not snack nor dessert either.
I didn't realize up until last week that I was uncutting myself by about 350 calories per day for the last few weeks due to portion size. so i was really only consuming 1,450-ish...which is really too few for my routine. Should help with the excess flab in the stomach area though...gottta get that shit off so's I cans see my abs mang.

My PT indicated that eating 6 smaller meals throughout the day is actually way better than eating 3 larger ones. Basically, increasing the metabolism and keeping the body from going into reserve mode. Apparently, you have to be very consistant abotu this way of eating though...I'm going to impliment at phase 2 (2 weeks from today).
I have cut out eating most meats and instead prefer tofu, cottage cheese and once a week fish.

I was also told that drinking beer is not bad for the wookouts routine. You just have to be sure NOT to eat after...like ever and drink plenty of water.....oh and of course...moderation...
This is good to know. As I like having a beer or two at the end of a day.

true, true...although really hard to follow through w/ (for me at least)
it also helps w/ keeping blood sugar stable throughout the day which is really important
dinner is still my most calorie dense meal of the day, but i've found that if i eat too small of a meal in the evening i end up feeling hungry again right before bed which sucks
