As I was reading it I thought the workout was just going to be 12 to 1 - urgh your way sounds terrible.
Hey guys what would be your solution for tendinitis(Not Carpal Tunnel) in the wrist, short story I have had tendinitis in my right wrist for a good chunk of last year and now it's rearing it's ugly face whenever I do power cleans(No, it's not carpal tunnel). So know of any solutions(preferably short term) to this problem? Or recommend some products to ease the pain during lifts?
(PS I Spam not carpal tunnel syndrome because that's what people always assume it is whenever I ask them for advice about my wrist injury.)

Squat Heavy.
naw just kidding - the ol standard Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and Ibuprofen.
RICE will work with injuries that were, more or less, untreated for over a year?
RICE is the recipe for just about everything - you can go to a Doc and they'll tell you the same thing - aside from that you can talk to a PT and get some exercises to help correct whatever it is that's causing your problem, but its tough to accurately assess over the web.
Talk to a PT that will give you exercises for therapy.
I tried "crossfit" today.
I simply searched some vids about it, noted down some excercises and went to the gym to try. I´m in a very good shape and have a decent aerobic endurance, so I thought it would be fun. Dear lord ... it was HELL ! ha ha !
It was 50 minutes of pain and sweat, the kind of effort that makes you think "dude i´m gonna die here". I performed these excercises in pairs, no rest between them but resting 2 minutes untill the next pair. The maximun weight I used was 100lb more or less.
Here´s what I did:
- 10minutes fixed bicycle
- Pull ups + squats: 12 / 10 / 8
- Push press + jumping to a step: 10 / 10 / 8
- Lifting a plate above my head from my abs, standing + deadlift: 10 / 8 / 8
- Rowing + Abs (like if I was about to do a pull up but raising my legs to my hands) 10 / 8 / 8
- 15 minute fixed bicycle
- 5 reps of "clean and jerk"
I loved it and felt extremely challenged, and even though I could not do that daily, I will definitively ad one crossfit-like day in my training.
Note to self: I should start from the very bottom.
Note to others: I´d advice not to start alone, and, IMO, it requieres a certain condition.

Strenth and power based interval training is great for conditioning work. I use it at the end of my workouts for a 10-15 min period. Being heavier I'd much rather do this type of work than beat my knees into the ground running distance.

Great advice !

Alright, so when I was younger I had asthma quite badly, I had to use the puffer and all that jazz, went to the hospital one night because of an attack, I thought I had grew out it until the other day I thought about it (i'm 17 now btw) but when I go for a run, I usually go every second day if I have the time and not too much school work, but occasionally when I start running I will quickly get short of breath and my chest will feel tight, but most other days I'm fine and breath normally and can run fine with no worries. Could this be my asthma playing up occasionally or am I just out of shape?
Vagisil machine will be installed in your new gym.

There were also core exercises for each day.
Bought an ab wheel, good now.
I have really bad asthma. One of the reasons I run.
When running on the days that your lungs feel strong, go all out. On the days where they are even a little on the weak side, run at whatever pace you can do only breathing in through the nose, and out through the mouth. On days that they are any worse, don't do any cardio. Focus on core exercises, or weights.
As you go, you will learn if it is your asthma acting up, or if it is you needing to power down. You'll also find some stimulants that you want to avoid. Maybe a particular type of plant, or smoke, or whatever. Keep at it though. Many really good athletes have asthma.
No need for knees to take a beating at all. Even for you top heavy types. Proper footwork, and go at a pace that your legs are ready for and you are all set. Pretty hard to get good cardio unless you run. Biking maybe, just takes longer. Xcountry skiing, great if you have the snow.
Start a performance interval session after a 45-60 min run and watch the smiles form.
