Don't worry about it dude, s'all good in the hood.


In other news, does anyone here like How I Met Your Mother? I was introduced to it a few weeks back and really like it.

Nice. When I get sad, I stop being sad, and be awesome instead. True story.

The only reason I've heard of it is because, for some reason, Facebook really wants me to add neil patrick harris..... o.O

Btw, squig, I've heard situps can sorta mess your back up (strains hip flexor muscle IIRC, from what I've heard)... thoughts? You seem to know your **** about these sortsa things.

I've heard the same, situps aren't good for you. You're better off doing leg raises while being suspended, or crunches which only involves your abs

BUT IM NOT EXPERT

Sit ups are a pretty ineffective exercise anyway, but yeah, most people throw their shoulders up and push their head forward putting a lot of strain on their lower back. And most people end up using their legs too, never isolating their core.

There's loads of better exercises for your core than sit ups. Sit ups are one of those exercises for people that are like "yeah man i got for runs and do sit ups and press ups yeah i dont wanna get massive im not a bodybuilder blah blah" imo.

I used to do alot of situps at football practise when i was younger, and what we called 6 Inches ( i dont actually know what its called ). Fun times.

Exactly, complete waste of time.

Just do what Scooby1961 says or does and you'll be fine :-D

Need to build up core stability at the mo

Would be cool if they made Vibram five fingers that actually look like that.

Aye I know, they look disturbingly realistic.

By the way, everyone has different hangover cures, what are yours?

Mine is a fried egg sandwich. Just got up, no eggs. Need to get shower and changed to go to shop. This is not how I saw my day going.

I just got back from the USA, stayed awake for 30 hours, slept for 11. Gonna get a decent nights sleep tonight and hopefully be kosher for work on monday.

I want to take up a fighting sport, suggestions? ib4 squiggs says boxing. The 'it's awesome cool' part of me wants to do krav maga, but in reality I don't imagine it's all that good. Anything that is used in movies because it looks great can't be all that efficient.

Lucozade and Neurofen. And if I'm feeling up to it I'll make one of my Fat Baps, which is bacon, sausage, mushrooms and an egg all fried in the same grease, then fry the bread in the left over grease then chuck some cheese on it then microwave it. God damn that's made me hungry.

I used to really enjoy just normal karate; I really liked the discipline involved and the flow of the fighting style.

Krav Maga is used by the IDF and other special forces groups so it's not just for show. It depends on if you prefer more striking or more grappling. For grappling Aikido is neat if you want to throw people into sweet locks and wreak havoc on their joints.

i only had like 7 hrs sleep lat night, fck that

Every martial artist I've spoke to said the only thing they can't defend against is a boxer's hook. A boxing stance is a great fighting style as well, in my opinion.

P.s. the talk of weights etc. has made me realise I've become as weak as feck, so I'm getting back into doing stuff, slowly.
I reckon I'll do it like this:

day 1 - arms (bi+tri)
day 2 - chest
day 3 - shoulders
day 4 - back
day 5 - run (cardio/fat burn)
day 6 - rest
('crunches' either every day or every other day)

So it's a 6-day programme. Every other week I might have 2 days rest, depending on how I feel.

Just thought I'd share that.

6 days is quite extreme.

Training bis and tris on the same day is stupid given theyre antagonistic. And theyre a tiny body part they dont need their own day.

Chest day after triceps the day before lol.

And you're really targeting specific areas of your body, to be getting back into things you should really be thinking bigger.

What exercises are you gonna be using on there days?

meh

Nah fraid not.

Okay ta. Thanks for trying.

are you just a dick and uninformative because it'd take too long to explain or are you just like that?

with all that **** talking im starting to think your an american, man

That was annoying and repetative.


A+ on filling the brief.

When you say I should 'be thinking bigger', what do you mean? I'm just looking to build muscle at the mo, seeing as most of what I had has depleted through lack of any training lol the only exercise I've been doing is playing football and occasionally going running or swimming.

And what's wrong with doing bi/tris on the same day, or doing chest stuff the day after tris? I'm not gonna be lifting anything mental, I'll be doing like 3 sets of 8 reps, I'll pick a weight that makes it hard for me to get 7 or 8 in the second set and around 5 in the third set. That way I've got something to aim for

bis and tris on same day ive already said; theyre antagonistic to each other and theyre such a small part of your body they dont need their own day

if you knew anything about lifting you'd know the role of triceps in chest workouts so doing them the day after is retarded

working on areas in your routine as you are it sounds liek youre gonna be doing a ****load of isolation exercises (which is pretty dumb anyhow) and if youre doing compound youre gonna overload yourself so much doing a 5/6 day split

irrelevan the amount of reps and sets given the routine, you'll be overworking so much of your body

too long to explain in detail, especially to peeps with no idea wtf theyre doing

*you're

and im not american

What would you suggest then?

cba going back a page but did you even have any leg workouts?
