Yeah, I would never run in public with a chute but they do get the job done. When doing stamina work outs, I'd start off slow with some basic cardio, like doing 30 min of spinning everyday or whenever you work out. But when running, do interval training; mix in sprints with your run etc. Also playing pick up soccer especially indoor for an a couple hours a week will raise your fitness alot and its fun. To gain weight just hit the gym; to tone you want to do more reps less weight, to muscle up more weight less reps and all that. To gain muscle weight, make sure your diet is good, lots of protein and even though people think carbs are the devil, you need them for energy. What I'm saying is basic but basics work. Also people look down on supplements, but I think they work and have worked for me and alot of people that I train with.
Good way to wear down your joints.Originally Posted by stevochino
i see idiots at my gym wearing this crap sometimes. weighted anything is pretty gay.
What about guys wearing parachutes? I've seen that, and haven't heard that there are any adverse effects of it.
Yeah I mentioned that, they work real well.
Only if it doesn't get hijacked for something stupid which i'm hoping it doesn't because i have a lot of questions as well
The only way to achieve that is by keep doing it.
When I first became interested in the Marine Corps during my senior year in high school, I could barely do a mile without feeling like I was about to cough up a lung. Now, about five years later, I'm running around 20 miles max at one time and thinking of competing in a 26.2 mile marathon.
I've been weight training since freshman year. I started out at 150 lbs, now I'm at 180 in my junior year. People have often commented that I got jacked.
It's very rewarding. When I started out, I could only do 120 lbs bench. But now I do 230 on a regular basis, and I did 250 at one time. But despite having a relatively larger torso, I could still run okay. Freshmen year I did a 6:28 mile. At the beginning of lacrosse this year I did 6:52. I slowed down a little, but in proportion to my upper body strength, that's darn okay.
Just always alternate days. One day you do upper body, the next day you do can do lower. So many guys make the mistake of working out their upperbody everyday. Your muscles need a 48 hour rest to properly heal and strengthen. So while your pecs are sore from bench press yesterday, you could do lunges or squats. However, you don't need to rest abdominals. You can work your abdominals everyday. You can work on cardio everyday too. Not only is alternating days good for you, but you would look better. A guy who is all upperbody and has pencils for legs looks ridiculous.
When weight training, don't for forget some muscles. A lot of guys look for three things on the upperbody: Pecs, biceps, and a six-pack. You can't forget things like the tricep or the deltoids or the shoulders, or the back, or the forearms. But depending on what you do, you may prioritize the muscles. For example, baseball players would want to work their shoulders because they're is used a lot in batting and throwing.
A lot of guys look for two things on the lowerbody. They want calves and quads. But you can't forget the hamstrings or the glutes. You legs will work a lot better if you work the whole package. No matter what you do, a good pair of legs is a good thing.
Most importantly, eat healthy and don't take any drugs to make you better. Those steroids may make you look impressive in the gym, but you won't be impressive much longer when your liver gives out. That goes for creatine too. That stuff is hell on the kidneys. If you're really impatient, then I suggest protein whey. I normally have a 1/4 cup of vanilla protein powder in 2 cups of orange juice in the morning. Just make sure that you drink water. There's a lot of protein in there, you could get sick or hurt you kidneys in the long run. But protein whey is safe. Just use it right.
Remember that you have genes. If your parents were smaller people, don't expect to be benching 300 anytime soon. My grandfather benched 400 lbs back in his prime, so I inherited a little of his Swedish farmer body. My other friends don't have parents that bench 400, but their parents gave them great speed. Just look on the positive things of your genes. Also work hard anyway, genes don't make the final say so, you have some control. The point of weight training is not to make you into the next Mr. Olympia, but to bring your body to premium performance.
You would be surprised at how strong your forearms can get from masturbating a lot.
We are considering making it a sticky -- if everyone can behave, then it will become one.
I spoke too soon.
The key to training correctly is adapting what you are doing to your goals and lifestyle. Its not doing 1 thing but dozens of little things everyday that are right for you.
When there are lots of variables be sure to adapt them to your advantage.
x2. If you get the right ones for you and the right info they can help. The trick is what else you are doing with them. They have worked for me and some of my high perofrmance clients. Some of them (clients)in the medical field.
anyone got good tips on running.i occasionally suffr with my low back,so is running on a road surface(which i do sometimes,and my back is fine after it)really bad for you?or does it depend on age?cos im only 16
I run about 4-5km a day and have been using the Nike/iPod sensor setup since the beginning of the year.
My current headphones are Sony MDR-A35's and although they're better than the standard earbuds, they can get uncomfortable to wear by the end of a run.
Any good sports headphone recommendations?
When you do it all the time, it will lead towards problems. So try to run on tracks or off road trails. Also, a good pair of shoes can lessen the impact on your joints.
try training for triathlons. i did that for three years before i get apendicitis. im 5'1" tall with 195lbs. hehehe...
i do mostly brick workouts... SWIM-RUN, BIKE-RUN, SWIM-BIKE, long road runs, cross training with other sports. it was fun.
