Figured. I haven't used Smith ever because I like the act of balancing a weight and holding it in place, I always felt it as a better workout.
I thought you were commenting on my "short sprints vs long endurance run" to burn weight, and I thought you were saying that doing long runs would be good. And if doing long runs is good, then how fast should I pace myself. What part of my ignorant post is so guffaw worthy?
This. I've been realizing this in the last week, as I learn and get more into the main compounds, I've been trying both ways, keeping always an open mind, and smith machines make everything feel so unnatural :/
speaking about Bench Press and Squats, it feels a million times better unassisted, in my personal experience.

A good target is just under too fast to hold a conversation.
You should look into a heart rate monitor if you're interested in doing this for the long run though (pun not intended).
1hr at 30-50% intensity should be good. All of that is based on your preference because I don't know your body thus telling you a speed that works for me might be too fast or slow for you (30-50% of your max HR/max VO2/max intensity). Max HR is 220-your age.
Alright sweet, so this will be my modified workout schedule:
- 3-4 Sets of Push Ups (First set is doing as many as I can, second set with 20-30 reps, then the last sets with weights on my back)
- 2-3 Chair Dips
- As many pull ups as I can (possibly with weights once I hit a good number)
- Leg Lifts
- 30-40 Sit Ups
- 30 Frog Crunches
- 20 Leg Crunches
- 30 Twist Crunches
- 30 Lying Floor Knee Raises
- 30 Seconds of Bicycle Kicks
- Then 20 minutes of Jogging for Cardio
- On the weekends, I'll do this plus an extra 50 minutes of jogging.
Shit, an hour? I don't know if I can dedicate that much time between school, extra curriculars, etc. Is it alright to maybe dedicate an hour once a week?
At 20 minutes you won't be maximizing fat usage in that time frame, but it's fine. Still maintain 40-60% intensity.
If I were to do an hour of running, how frequently should I do this? Once a week, twice, everyday, etc?

As long as he's doing the rest of his routine beforehand, I'd say that counts.

As an ex amphetamine abuser and using craze for a little over a week. Ill never use it again. Im not saying this as a fact, but its scary i feel really similar on this stuff compared to when i took speed. Even the after effects. Im starting to get spots on my body again and the blood vessels are puffy and purple again.
Ive even played with the idea of buying speed again. I havent felt like this on other preworkout supps.
(note: when i say im not stating this as fact, im not saying there is definitely amphetamines in craze)

Craze has deconstructed ephedra in it. I showed my mother who's been a RN for about 30 years the bottle and it's the first thing she said when she read the label.

Its scary how reliant you can get to strong stims.

Basically you need 20-30 minutes to get past that hump of just burning your immediate reserves.
Cut out all the shitty crunches. They're horrible for you.
I didn't comment on your running at all. I told you that a better idea than a ton of cardio would be to lift weights. Your response to me had nothing to do with what I said.
Really? So what should I do to replace them? Just focus on core workouts?
I misread your comment, but like I've said before I have no access to a gym.

I want to look like the Rock. Can I make this my new fitness goal?
Only if you're willing to eat clen and tren hard.

How much time do you guys spend in the gym anyway? 1-1.5 hours max?

And take steroids.
Old Rock just looked like a huge dude (which he should be considering he played Defensive End in college for at the time one of the top football programs in the nation)
New Rock just looks roided to the gills. Add to that the fact the's now 40 years old... You don't just blow up and get way bigger and way more cut than you've ever been at age 40.

Explanation? I assume Tren is some type of steroid lingo, but I'm unfamiliar with it, care to clue me in?

About 2 hours a day 4 days a week including "cardio" and stretching.
Understatement.

400g of protein today including the shake I just made after the power went out. This is disgusting.
I've eaten two things and I'm probably over 4000 calories.
People in this thread have eaten more. I'm thinking Darth or maybe that one guy that posts about food all of the time.

Down from 227 lbs to 215. Bench at 315, DL 400, squat only 275. What am I doing wrong?

It's good for standing calves actually, and upside-down sit-ups and stretching if you have the gravity boots.
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit Craze."
Don't let your pride get in the way of your lifts.
45 min to 1 hour.
lol mully, youre like the king of bad eating/drinking decisions
It's too bad there aren't 40+ hours in the day, otherwise your body might have been able to utilize all that.
My uncle had a wing eating contest. I lost by ten wings.
I swear when I start my cut in a month I'll be eating and drinking clean.
This is awesome advice actually. Thanks! =)

I'm not very good at doing handstands but that took me over a year to be able to do.

I'm trying to get more serious about working out instead of just going once a week or so. I'm trying a 90 day challenge and I'm trying to push myself everyday. Here's me squatting 90lbs on the smith machine:

2 and a half hours, and I hit the same body parts twice a week once for power, and another for hypertrophy.
