I need to get something for weighted dips. Suggestions?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD-gXwdFeAY
The above video is a review of the same Ironmind dipping belt I have.
I would highly recommend it, as it kicks as six ways to Sunday and is very easy to use.
MjFrancis posted the best dip/squat belt there is with the Ironmind.
If you want a cheaper belt, just make sure the chain can fit the weights you're using. My old dip belt only had enough slack for one 45 which sucked. I use chains now or the ironmind belt.

I'd eat cereal off that butt.
Help me out here guys.
I OHP Saturday and squatted yesterday. Normally I would bench tomorrow and deadlift Wednesday but here's the problem.
Tuesday and Thursday I'm working 12 hour days and won't be home until almost 9 (and I'll be exhausted :/)
Do I go tonight and do three days in a row (yuck) or tomorrow when I'm potentially exhausted (double yuck)

I'd just go tomorrow and do my minimum reps.
Today.
If you're going to be exhausted tomorrow then today is the way to go, no point in half assing it tomorrow.
These are the days I keep a preworkout around for.
Some of my best days came feeling shitty before.

Today. Get it over with. Go hard so you know that you deserve that day off tomorrow. You won't regret it at the end.

I'd personally avoid working out 3 days back to back. But that's just me.
Falling edge wins!!!
My rehband elbow sleeves came in too so I can try them out. I can't decide if they're a good fit or not. They're tight but not uncomfortably tight if that make sense.
I took some pictures....
Here's how far they go up before I have to use a little force and pull them up
Here's how it looks with my arm straight
And flexed
So it's compressed but I get paranoid is it compressed enough. I guess two ways of looking at it. I'm not getting any smaller, right?
and someone here mentioned if I wash it, it will shrink a little. What do you guys think?FallingEdge

read this from down to up.
I thought you were posting an undershot pic of your ass.
That's how I feel. Love my off days, let me come back and kill it.
Exact same thought.

Jesus....I understand Portuguese and couldn't even pay attention to what she was saying.
Was just going to say the exact same thing.
Though seriously, I have a really hard time understanding Brazilian Portuguese lol
I couldn't even tell she was talking. All I heard was a combination of angels singing and porno guitar.

I've seen people use towels on the bar for squats but taking someone else's? wtf
That's some weird ass understanding of gym etiquette.
Question... Why does the 5/3/1 periodisation bible and the bb 5/3/1 advocate as much as 20 reps for the accessory work? Wouldn't that go past the rep range that is most effectively going to promote sarcoplasmic or myofibrillar hypertrophy and enter the realm of muscular endurance? I understand there's significant overlap not only between hypertrophy and endurance but also the different types of hypertrophy, just wondering if the logic for such high rep ranges is ever stated or someone has a good idea on why.
I'm going to give that a try, thanks!

I decided to take up the tedious job of looking through all the related videos to find her deadlift video.
Behold.
Yeah her accent is pretty harsh. But whatever, what she says isn't important hehe.

Hello old friend! Let me axe you a question? Where the hell have you been!?
Anyways, like Blackflag said earlier, don't add more calories for extra exercise. I absolutely loathe the fact that Loseit and Myfitnesspal tell you to eat more... Especially since I'm a personal trainer and I've got clients using it and they're like "Well myfitnesspal said I should be eating 3,000 calories because I ran for 45 minutes"
Well I mean, they'd still be losing weight even if they ate back their calories so I don't see the big deal. I always ate back my calories. Especially because on lifting days I'm MORE likely to be hungrier FROM the exercises and cardio I do.
Hi, guys.
Would you guys mind taking a look at my squat form again? I'm trying to do low bar squat. Watch the video then highlight below for the twist ending.

On the fourth rep, is where I heard and felt a pop on my right hip joint I guess. You can see how startled I am and I even hold onto the power rack a bit as I walk back towards the camera. Clearly, I'm doing stuff wrong. ):

If your goal is to lose 2lbs a week, then you need to be at a 1,000 calorie per day deficit. Ain't no way in hell a 250lb woman is losing 2lbs a week eating 2,700 calories on exercise days only doing 2 hours and 15 minutes to 3 hours of exercise per week like these apps would advise her to do.
It's simple math. If she burns 2,100 cals on non-exercise days and 2,700 on exercise days working out 3 days a week then she burns 16,500 calories a week. Which means she needs to eat 9,500 calories OR LESS per week to lose 2 lbs. (3,500 cals = roughly 1 lb)
9,500 / 7 = 1360 calories per day.

Well, the fourth rep was noticeably lower than the others, which seemed to break parallel by the bare minimum. Fifth rep was high. If there was no pain when you heard the pop it's possible that it was a stretch reflex in your hips/posterior chain. It's hard to tell from the angle but maybe shove your knees out more to 'open up' your hips in the hole. Start foam rolling and doing some dynamic mobility if you don't, if you do add a little more. Everything else looks good.
Fifth rep was definitely high. I was still a little shaken by the pop there. I don't think there was pain when I heard the pop, but I did start feeling pain about an hour later, and I still feel pain right now. It now hurts to raise my right leg up. I have also been doing foam rolling and mobility exercises for the past few weeks, so the pop was especially surprising. I'll have to see if maybe my knees aren't out enough. Thanks for your comments, A More Normal Bird.
OK, let's see.
Intermediate
Seated leg raises
Seated leg raises with kickback(You can also twist to the side during the kickback to isolate the obliques.)
Hanging leg raises
V-Situp
Basic Ab Wheel rollout
Most of these mainly hit the middle section of your abs. With some variations, you' be able to get side and lower work in there too.
I don't know why you're trying to prove a point with a hypothetical woman and hypothetical numbers all over the place. All I'm saying is, if a person tracks what they eat, and also tracks their exercise, they can eat back their calories burned from exercise and still lose weight, if they'd still be in a caloric deficit for the day.

I get uncomfortable and somewhat painful clicks in my rotator cuffs when doing bench presses or shoulder press machines. Is this a common issue, or should I get it checked out?
