For BG fitness fanatics, a question..

[Osede]

So are squats something I can do daily? Or should I treat it like resistance training and wait 48 hrs?

It is best to wait at least 48hours or more... once you train at your 80% max squat everytime and look for max training, you may find out how tire of your leg muscle it is. There was once that I did squat, calf and other leg intense training a day before, then I went to play basketball for next day. The tireness of leg muscle just cause me pull my calf muscle when I was doing lay up

And a long time question, why there isn't any "How to spot 101" program in any gym site. Was seeing people put up at 225lbs for incline few days ago. Then the spotter uses strap to hold the bar and helping up and down. Or the spotter hold the bar and helping to pull/push up and down all the way

You can do squats daily if you like, just don't max out daily.

So I'm studying my PT book and there's a section on spotting. And I quote "Never spot a machine-based exercise by placing your hands underneath the weight stack." Now, I'm wondering who the fuck was stupid enough to do something like that that it had to be included in a textbook... People, I swear.

Took me a second to even visualize that properly, the thought has never occurred to me...

Has your bulk helped with loose skin at all?

Bulking does help. They won't go away fully if its a lot.


I have small ones around my arm that you can hardly see still but I do nit care. Ill keep them with pride.

Does taking the water part of a soup breaks my intermittent fasting (IF)?

Ie: Chicken soup with veggies, but I only drink the soup w.o eatting the chicken, veggies. IF of 6 hours windows 12-6pm, and the soup is to be eaten at around 9pm.

if you're so desperate to get soup water into you outside of your window, maybe you should extend your window

Haha thanks buddy. I might have to pick your brain sometime though, You seem to have a far better grasp on sculpting than I do.

I guess Fossil park really has been helping. Haven't done any strict running, just my obstacle course. Long story short, got a flat on my bike, so after swapping out my spare, had to jog a mile each way to the gas station to put air in my tire.

I think my fastest mile ever was 6:35-6:40

The way there: 7:09 (this is also holding the bike tire), a little tired, but not much, just starting to break a sweat.

On the way home, decided to pick it up a notch.

Way home: 6:16 (again with bike tire).

Beat my previous record (and this is from when I was jogging consistently, over a year go) while holding cargo lol. 6:16 isn't a big deal, but to me it is.

Just caught up on the thread and dammit CS how the hell are building that kinda of muscle with your food intake?

I burned myself out, and have not been to the gym in just under 2 months and i feel like shit. Cannot seem to find any sort of motivation to get off my ass and hit up the gym again. Than i see your picture and i am like "Goddammit that is how i want to look." I am not small by any means just not as cut and or bulky. Thanks for the motivation. Also no homo.

Gracias senor

Your guess is as good as mine. I've never been able to do the nutrition thing. I just walk in the gym, have fun and walk out. If it wasn't fun, I probably wouldn't do it.

It's funny you say that though lol I was looking in the mirror today and was like "bleh, could stand to take off another couple % body fat" lol. Need to step up my cardio game, since I can't fight the battle from the food side of things

Depends on how many calories. I wouldn't drink it during my fast though.

Got my cardio in today for sure. Did my school biking and popped a flat on the way home, about a mile away. Walked the bike home. Then jogged 2 miles to the bike shop to get some tubes and they decided to close early for whatever reason. Jogged home and now all the bike shops are closed.

Only place that may have tubes are walmart, but it's rare they carry them in road bike sized tires. They don't restock them very often. Will be 3 miles each way if I decide to jog up there tonight (which I'm pretty much going to have to since I have to get to class tomorrow)

So im down to 180 now, and nearing where I want to be, but I think im nearing the point where I may be in risk of losing more muscle than fat.

I still want to lose a bit more weight, and fat along with it, so I dont feel im really where I want to start fully bulking yet.

If I were to continue dieting, but start lifting, would that sort of "even things out"? Being, in the sense of not adding mass amount of muscle, but enough to keep and promote whats there, while making my body soley burn fat instead? Id assume by doing this, id probably keep losing weight?

After I hit a lower weight, and lower the amount of fat, I then stop dieting and start actually eating normal amounts, but of healthy and muscle building stuffs? That would of course bring my weight back up, but would be more muscle then fat?
