Today? Well, I spent today deadlifting and power cleaning in front of Mark Rippetoe and yesterday squatting, pressing and bench pressing.

It was fuckin great! It was a barbell trainer certification that he teaches which was an incredible experience. And yep, I got my copy of Starting Strength autographed. Hahahahha

just did that for fun to be honest. i duno what the deal is but i have crazy endurance. i usually only workout for about 70 minutes and then call it a day but i could keep going for hours if I wanted to. i do deadlift and bench and other main lifts at the end of my workouts no problem

hey rabbi was there any mention of steroids there by him and did he comment on this topic for us at all. Just curious.

He's a great guy, my brother met him and had a great interaction/coaching session with him. I also got a couple of his other books where he writes essays about whatever is on his mind training-wise. Really good reads you should check out the books he's written other than his main program books.

He only briefly discussed steroids, and it wasn't in the context of his opinion of them. He was talking about the effectiveness of milk on teenagers, and only talked about how milk is more effective since their testosterone and growth hormone levels are higher than that of anabolic users.

He's a fucking awesome guy, more than you would imagine from his videos and books. Some of us went out to dinner later and he was cracking me up. Seriously funny guy.

Amebix- go! Seriously. I have 13 years of lifting experience, have won powerlifts and am a certified and full-time trainer. I've also read Starting Strength and Practical Programming countless times. With all of that, I was still blown away by how much I learned and have radically changed my form on each lift. It's a great, great, great experience.

I'm over going heavy. I hit 630 on deadlift and don't have any desire to go any heavier. At this point I'd rather just have circuit training with moderate weight that pushes me hard cardiovascularly with the occasional heavy lift of squat/dead/bench but I'm not focused on making insane 1rep progress anymore.
 
yeah i just did my morning stretches/situps and walked. not making excuses but i walk 3-4 hours a day so fuck making time for any other exercise!

Hold on, you're saying an adolescent's test levels are naturally higher than that of an "anabolic user" shootin a gram of test a week? Maybe I'm misunderstanding that one, but please explain.
 
going to do some push-ups, yoga, and a hike. I'm currently saving up for a surf board and/or a gym membership. Its a sad day when a person who manages a restaurant and has no debt is almost in poverty....
 
another half hour of cardio on the kick ass exercise bike

i think i may do some light weight lifting now
 
I haven't been to the gym since Sunday. Annual evening appointments to keep. Life happens. I feel all kinds of disgusting. Back to mine Thursday!

no of course not. Rippetoe also said milk is so good for you because you absorb some of the IGF-1 that is suspended in the milk from the cow's injections.

Bahahahah well the man doesn't have a degree in chemistry that much is clear =D

today was bench and deadlifts and rows

and trying to work on heavier lateral raises, 35lbs still kicks my ass for 8 reps :!
 
Today is my no carb day, and I usually go a bit lighter on this bitch of a day. I just woke up and ran 3 miles and did around 40 pullups. Meeting up with some buds to play pickup basketball games for around 2 hours tonight.

:XMan I hate having no sugar all day...I've been a cranky little fart:p
 
no carbs at all? Whyyyyyyyyy??? *forehead slap*

Why do people always go so drastic on these diet changes. Of course you'll feel like crap if you switch back and forth between regular amounts of carbs and no carbs.

Carbs are helpful for you. A better approach would be to limit the total amount of carbs in a week, focusing on getting good amounts of carbs in you after working out.
 
I think he's doing carb cycling as part of a cutting regimen. Not a good idea for long-term health, but I've heard that it works wonders for getting that last couple %BF off.

Well, it took 3 PFTs and 2.5 years to figure it out, but it looks like I'm off the circuit/plyometric/functional mode and back to basic isolation. My weird cortisol issue just isn't as bad when I'm doing simple double exercise isolation sets rather than cardio blasting interval craziness. I feel so much better after today's workout than I have in ages. Here's what I did:

8 min warmup, jogging @ 9km/h
alternate dumbell press (25 lbs)/overhead tricep something or other (35 lbs)
alternate incline press (25 lbs/side)
seated alternate row (45 lbs/side)/bent bar bicep curl (30 lbs, 1/2-full)
Leg press (180 lbs)/lunging woodchopper (20 lbs)

All exercises were 4 sets to exhaustion except the woodchopper which was 2 sets of 10/side then substituted with 2 sets of prone leg lifts.
