Thanks Steve!

I was just curious of what else there was.
I do:
High Knees
Leg Swings
Torso Twists and Circles
and Arm Circles

Its what we used to do at the beginning of track practice:)

There's certainly a lot more and depending on individual circumstances, some can be better (more suited) than others.

There's a lot of yoga-esque types of exercises as well that you can do.

I will not let your perversion infest my journal Omegabootytron.

Now beat it!
 
First day back was great. Nutrition was 100% and training was nice and easy. I'll do a simple linear periodization bumping up my loads each workout until strength gains stop.
 
oooh so this means we'll get treated to new pictures in the future... :D

100 percent for nutrition? that's really disappointing -where's the room for improvement? at least go for 99.265 percent :D

Not for a while. It's time to get fat.

I lied. I had 2 york peppermint patties.

And my hand hurt during my workout.

~leaves my perversions and filthy mouth at the door~ HA! Yup... better get to that chiro soon, mister man. And if that doesn't help, go to an accupuncturist. (My uncle does that and it's helped many people with nerve problems.. to each their own.) Wishing you a great day...

I'd try anything at this point. It did feel better than before, but I was also lifting a lot less weight than before. We'll see how it feels as I move up in weight.

Thanks for the suggestion. :)

You are right in everything you say.

Off the top of my head though, I'm not sure how long both are elevated. I'm too lazy at the moment to do any type of research. If you don't find your answer, let me know and I'll get it.

I can tell you that there isn't a straight answer.

Of course it depends on exercise type, intensity, duration, etc. However, it also depends on genetic factors, age, etc.

But I'm sure a ballpark figure is out there. I just can't remember.

True true, alright, thanks Steve!
You don't need to go digging. Just kinda something I've been thinking about recently. Nothing to loose sleep over lol.

I mainly ask, because, Drinking a PWO "RIGHT" after a workout. Might not yield the "optimum" results. It may be possible it takes 5-10 of rest for insulin to reach its baseline activity level again. As we know, the insulin spike is what encourages protein synthesis and other "anabolic" reactions(although not the "soul" reason). If were taking the shake/drink to quickly.

I'm just thinking in "optimums" here, of course.

Splitting hairs is what it's all about once you reach a certain point... so I don't blame ya for wondering. I shot an email to my buddy who will have an answer.

Remember, you are still digesting your pre-workout meal at the end of your workout.

I'm sure there is an 'optimum' time to ingest more nutrients post-workout. However, I'd be suprised if we knew the exact time anytime soon.
 
True, anyway, Thanks Steve!

Hey, I've been looking for more books to ask for for my birthday (laugh all ya want lol). I was thinking this might be a good read.

ACSM's Advanced Exercise Physiology (Hardcover)
by American College of Sports Medicine (Author)


Its quite smaller then the last Exercise phys book I read, almost by 300 pages...It would likely cover a lot of the same stuff my last one did too. However, given the "author" I have "high" hopes for it. Anyway, think it would be a good read?

Haha, why would I laugh? Pretty much any chance I get to ask for presents, the only thing on the list is books.

Except for a remote control airplane. I always ask for one of them but no one will get me one. Probably a good idea.

What was the last phys book you read? I'd direct your focus someplace else if you already read an in-depth phys book.

You seem to be interested primarily in nutrition, no?

If your wanting to know how food is digested, thats physiology. If you're wanting to know how its metabolised, thats biochemistry. The real thing nutrition is about is understanding resarch and applying prinicples of physiology, biochemistry, chemistry, anatomy etc to it.

I'm sure you know all this.

But what I'm saying is I'd spread out the materials you are learning from.

And what about books concerning exercise applicatoin?

It all depends on what you are looking to learn and why you are trying to learn it.

Lol, I'm interested in all aspects of both nutrition and fitness. Basically, in all aspects of human beings (performance and more)that includes all inner/outer workings. It makes planning a "career" very hard when I don't really have a "single" interest in all this.

The last exercise phys book I read, which is my all time fave book lol, is Exercise Physiology: Energy, Nutrition, and Human Performance(newest edition) by William D McArdle and the Katch brothers.

Practical Programming for Strength Training & Starting Strength are both on my "wish list" as well. They are a tad hard to find sometimes though. Being out of print and all.
 
Remote controll plane's are awesome. I have always wanted one. Although, a "good" one from what I've heard is like 300 bucks. And, thats way to high priced to ask for lol.

Haha, that's how I've always been.

The further I go though, the more I realize I always want to be helping overweight populations 'shape up.' It's just my natural fit in all this. However, I have quite a few friends in the industry and a vast majority of them are peformance or rehab based. That's just not my cup of tea, even though I often times shift to performance based training myself and love being an 'athlete.'

I also have friends on the nutrition side of things, but it's a bunch of clinical BS and I can't stand some of the infromation they spew. They'd never recommend someone taking in 1 gram of protein per pound of LBM.

You are young. However, college isn't too far off. I'm sure you are seriously thinking hard about it. Just think harder, lol. Where does your passion lie? Obviously you love the human body and the sciences dealing with it. But is there a specific profession/activity that you'd like to apply those sciences too? A specific population you'd like to help?

Didn't I tell you to get this book? It's a great one.

Both amazing books.

Starting strength, the first time you read it, you'll think gee, that was nothing new. You have to look past the simplicity of the information and understand that he's teaching you how to cue the basic lifts better than anyone has ever put on paper.

Practical programming is a book that ANYONE getting into the industry should HAVE to read.

Where are you trying to order them from?

Here's the link to the actual site, not sure if you have it or not:

Yea, good ones are real expensive. I've never done any significant research on them. I just know that I want it to go very fast.

Or even a gas-powered remote control car would be cool. They can go 60+ mph. They're expensive too.
