^ HAHAHAHAHAHAHA IVing it everyday/...dude much as I actually laughed heartily out loud...don't tell him that, he might believe you, and you just created a new meth head.

Fucking funny though :!

I reckon it would work if you did it occasionally, like once every 2 weeks maybe...also force yourself to eat carbs afterwards as well though - mind over matter dude. (not that I've ever tried to eat on stimulants, but I did eat a whole roast dinner last time I did 1/3g MDMA...it wasn't easy to start with...but just force it down and you'll put on that weight instead of lose it).

I think you should start IVing it everyday preworkout and report back how it goes in 22 days.

I believe 21 days is the standard timeframe for pawning off your computer. But, I suppose he could always report back from a public library.


So, anyway. This is one of those situations where I don't know exactly "what" is wrong with mixing some amount of meth into an exercise routine, so I'm gonna have to pull the W.W.R.D. (What Would Rocky Do?) Card. Since I ain't never seen Rocky slamming methamphetamines, I'm gonna say it's a bad idea.
 
Tom Simpson

W.W.T.D.? (What Would Tom Do?) He would take amphetamines during the Tour de France and send himself into fatal exhaustion. I think a few other guys did as well back in the olden days.

Since methamphetamines are essentially amphetamines on steroids, a similar and even more serious risk is probably posed. Plus the appetite-supression means you won't get big. So ya, for cardio it's bad because of fallen soldiers like Tom and for bodybuilding it's bad becuase you won't build. And will eventually be too paranoid to go to the gym.
 
Very nice, RL. There be the answer.


However, in spite of what a great piece of Harm Reduction that was, I'm not too sure if death via exhaustion wouldn't be an ideal way to go. It seems like too many deaths nowadays occur in hospital rooms. I personally could never stand the smell of hospitals, and given how much I hate to visit the dying in hospitals, I can only imagine that it's many times worse to actually BE the one dying in a hospital, what with the tubes, colostomy bags, and so on.

But, death via exhaustion, that sounds almost "glorious". Sorta like the final show-down between you and nature.
 
Today I was helping my cousin move out of her dorm at UF, so my workout consisted of carrying heavy items down three flights of stairs for 2 hours lol
 
1 mile bike ride to warmup, light upper body weights, ab leg lifts and ab bicycle things (anyone know the real name?), 30 minutes of EFX, and another mile ride to cool down.
 
4 mi fast
3 mi drills/strides on the track
3 mi hilly cool-down

feels good. 80 degrees in the late afternoon is probably my ideal running weather.
 
At 15.00 Did the 45-minute back workout from scooby's site:

Superset 1: Wide grip pullups and dumbbell rows
Superset 2: Alternating grip pullups and dumbbell pullovers
Superset 3: Narrow grip pullups and bent over dumbbell rows

Then cycle six times... Here's a vid

Came back at the gym in the eve for some abs and cardio
3 sets of crunches, bicycles and planks and then a 30 minute cardio session (cycling)

I despise doing cardio in the gym but my bike is at the shop and I can't run due to shin splints.

Today's workout has just been lugging a heavy backpack around campus all day. But since it's been so long since I was able to post in this thread, I'll tell you what I did yesterday.

vigorous 20 min warm up on stationary bike (HR up to 165 bpm)

set of 20 squats with just 45 lb. bar
set of 12 squats with 95 lb.
set of 10 w/ 115
set or 8 w/ 135

2 sets of 21 curls (7 full range, 7 upper half, 7 lower half) with 30 lb. barbell
1 set of 10 full range curls w/ 30 lb. barbell

3 sets (10, 8, 6 reps) machine reverse curls (tricep pushdowns?)

3 sets of 10 w/ 25 lb. in hand on the contraption that holds your legs in place while you do a downward facing sort of reverse crunch (the lower back analog of a crunch, I guess, maybe somebody can remind me what it's called)

2 sets of 10 straight-ahead, hanging leg raises (y'know, where you use your arms to prop up your body and raise your legs at the hip from a relaxed, hanging position up above the horizontal axis defined by your waist)

1/4 mile fast run as a warm down.

Those weights are embarrassingly low, but I've lost all of my former strength and muscle mass. Now that I'm starting back in the weight room, I'm keeping the weights low and focusing instead on visualization and recruitment of every muscle fiber throughout the full range of motion for a given exercise.
 
^ I don't think you should look at it like that at all...

Your strength and muscle mass will come back reasonably quickly - depending on how long you were away - muscle memory should have you back on top in no time...I was surprised how quickly I got up to beating my bench press etc record after starting at the gym again.

Just push yourself like you would before.
