Seems like everyone is getting injured these days. I sprained my ankle 4 days ago.

My routine is taking Whey (fast digestive) before the workout and Casein (slow digestive) after.

I've been doing this for only about a month and I like the results so far.

everything I have read suggests you need something fast right after working out. Ideally taken with carbs in about a 3:1 ratio. I can probably link you some scientific studies if you wanted to read up on it.

I am thinking of hitting up Brighton Beach this weekend btw.....any restaurant rec? Nothing too fancy, don't want to blow more than like 60 including wine.

stop ruining a good thread

Yes, if you don't mind, that would be great. I've been doing research on it. From what I've read, Casein is ideal to take right before bed. The issue with me is that, on weekdays, I can only workout after work (7pm-10pm).

My favorite restaurant on Brighton is Gina's (between Brighton 4 & 5). It's a relaxing, not expensive place with good variety and quality food.

thoughts on this guy claiming sqauts are the worst exercise for lower body? I think this sounds like BS

BigJohn98 · 06-02-2010, 10:18 PM

I think it depends in how you do them. If you squat too low, you can really **** your knees up with all the pressure. That's why I struggled so much on squats.

Ravens1991 · 06-02-2010, 10:22 PM

yeah but w/ proper form you should be fine. Power is strength X speed and you will get a lot stronger through Squats

I think people are more likely to wreck their back with deadlifts because of improper form.

actually its if you are not going low enough, if you stop above 90 you are putting all the pressure on your knees instead of waist. If you stop at 90 you knees are the weakest at a 90 degree angle. If you go past that, then all the weight shifts to your waist. Also when coming up people sometimes shake their knees in and out.

Also most people don't know how to squat, they have their knees go over the toes more times then not. Also you knees should line up with you feet.

Bob Sanders Dreadlock · 06-04-2010, 10:42 PM

The half squat is actually more likely to do damage to the knees than the full squat. Hes just a guy trying to get some exposure and is a joke. If this guy has a degree he needs to return it. Be hard to find any good S/C coach not advocating squats in some form

i broke my thumb now i cant do anything :(

BamaFalcon59 · 06-08-2010, 06:28 PM

Check this out.

I've been back in the gym. I usually go 6'1" 195. As of last week I was 196ish.

I eat an outstanding amount, but I always have.

The past few days I have been munching, hard, but nothing too extraordinary.

I'm 208 pounds! I was 202 as of yesterday morning. So even saying I'm less than 208, say 204, wtf!

Not really sure what's going on.

I used to sway anywhere from 5-10 pounds every week depending on the amount of food/cardio i took part in that week. I'm kind of locked in between 185-190 now but I swayed alot moreso when I was first starting at the gym. 13 is a little extreme though, maybe you're scale is a little tweaked.

Ravens1991 · 06-08-2010, 07:38 PM

that has to be a flucuation in water weight

Rob S · 06-08-2010, 07:39 PM

Injured knee playing soccer AGAIN! ****!

Just call me Arjen Robben.

'cuse-213 · 06-08-2010, 08:27 PM

Just tried one of the complexes that were being talked about pages ago. Did the Waterbury one. Ow..

Finished and said to myself I had hoped it worked my legs more. I was thinking that.. until I stood up and found my thighs cramping like none other.

I plan on just using complexes from now on. I plateaued using weights, and am really bored with cardio.

Go_Eagles77 · 06-20-2010, 06:19 PM

I'm starting to get really frustrated trying to lose weight. I tried HIIT a couple weeks ago but I wasn't able to sprint more than 6 or 7 times (30 second intervals) so I started jogging about 2 miles every day, eating only healthy food about 1200-1600 calories a day and weight training every other day, I've been doing this for about 2 and a half weeks and I didn't see any change in the way I look so I weighed myself to see if I've made any progress and I haven't lost any weight in that time period. I know HIIT is more effective than jogging but I was still surprised I haven't made any progress, could HIIT really make that much of a difference?

I can see squats not being ideal for certain types of athletes, but they're very important for someone strength training.

How much weight do you want to/have to lose?

And what are the thoughts on doubling up on a routine (once in morning, repeat it at night)

I'm 5'9 and about 150 but it's a bad 150 (I used to be over 200). I just want to get in good shape but that damn last bit of weight won't go away. I'm thinking I could lose about 10-15 pounds of fat and was hoping I could do it before the fall semester starts. Also I'm definitely willing to double up the routine if I can get some results.
