Working out in the morning > workout out in the afternoon

With nice weather finally starting to show up here, the last thing I want to do is waste my afternoon ion teh gym, so recently I started going to the gym before work at 6:30am and wow, what a difference. I've found I feel a lot better and have lots of energy throughout the day. And I have the afternoon/evenings to enjoy the weather.

Dragon With nice weather finally starting to show up here, the last thing I want to do is waste my afternoon ion teh gym, so recently I started going to the gym before work at 6:30am and wow, what a difference. I've found I feel a lot better and have lots of energy throughout the day. And I have the afternoon/evenings to enjoy the weather. I might try working out a little earlier

I used to go workout at 5am in the morning before work. It was great getting it over with. But I found I am less likely to push myself in the morning. In the afternoon I can push myself to failure, but in the morning I find my self giving up and not getting those extra reps.

Im going to go eat and take my CEE then workout peace out punk ass bitches

I like waking up, dicking around for a few hours, then going to the gym. But when I start working, I don't think I'll have that luxury.

hells no. no way. id die.

I prefer working out about 8 at night on mon/wed then on friday i work out about 3ish. (due to the gym shutting early) but on sundays (when i do legs) i'll go down about 2 and work out. I don't think i could work out in the morning.

I dont see how anyone could ever workout in the morning, i am so damn tight, How the hell do you ever get loose? And I also have a bsolutely no motivation in the mornings. UGH

i used to work out at 5am, 3 times a week during the swim season. man that was a pain in the ass. everyone was pretty groggy, but if you got a good nights rest u were fine.

Heavy lifting early in the morning = teh lose..... cardio is another story

I find my motivation in the great weather I can enjoy afterwork now that I'm not going to the gym. As for having energy, caffeine and gatorade work wonders

Dragon I find my motivation in the great weather I can enjoy afterwork now that I'm not going to the gym. As for having energy, caffeine and gatorade work wonders Cool. When we have the TO meet, we'll drag everyone into the gym in the morning.

Puppet Master when i join the gym again i'll be a morning whore too. not mega early but like 7am I like going after 8:30am usually because all the working stiffs are still there before that.

timberwolf Cool. When we have the TO meet, we'll drag everyone into the gym in the morning. on a weekend? not bloody fucking likely

timberwolf I like going after 8:30am usually because all the working stiffs are still there before that. some of us have to work to pay for things like gym memberships. besides, its the punks without jobs hanging around the gym all day that cause most of the probs!

I have noticed when i work out in the morning, i am always tired and yawning...in the afternoon i am so pumped its ridiculous, but with classes, i HAVE to work out in the mornin'

Dragon on a weekend? not bloody fucking likely On the weekends I usually get to bed at 4 or 4:30 because of the bar. I can usually still go in at 8:30 or 9 am though of course I have to crash for 2-3 hours in the afternoon.

Leo95SE some of us have to work to pay for things like gym memberships. That's what gf's are for. If she likes the way you look... she should pay for it.

deznutz I have noticed when i work out in the morning, i am always tired and yawning...in the afternoon i am so pumped its ridiculous If I don't work out at night I get so restless and my body aches for not moving weight. timberwolf That's what gf's are for. If she likes the way you look... she should pay for it.

I love lifting in the morning, but there's no way i'm getting out of bed at 6 to go to the gym. I hvae a hard enough time getting up at 7:30.

Puppet Master when i join the gym again i'll be a morning whore too. not mega early but like 7am Get yourself down balance Fuck going that early. i normally get down there about 7:30 at night on mon/wed.

i prefer night when its not as busy

Burning sensation just above groin when squatting

Burning sensation just above groin when squatting

I have started squatting heavier recently as my herniated disc is no longer causing much pain. Yesterday however, I felt for the first time a burning sensation above my groin when I was at the bottom of my squat. I had a belt on at one point, and took it off at another, both caused the sensation. A buddy mention herniation in the front, is this possible, and why the burning?

Dude I've gotten the same sensation while deadlifting or squatting heavy Its like the between my groin and my thigh I still don't know what causes it, but whenever it happens I take some load off or just stop. Hasn't happened in a while though

I just got that yesterday for the first time, I can still feel it. Really weird. I had pain in my lower abdominals doing squats a few days before that, friend said it could be a hernia, I stopped.

My groin burns when I squat real wide

hummm... the pain is above my groin, feels deep in my lower abdomen almost.

i doubt it is a hernia, but go get checked out by a doctor just in case.

SpeedyGST i doubt it is a hernia, but go get checked out by a doctor just in case. quoted to troof... doubtful that its a hernia, but thats the region and continuing to lift with a hernia is bad news

Jeg1983 My groin burns when I squat real wide do you wear briefs?

I pulled my groin (area between thigh and pelvis) squatting heavy. I keep agitating it, so I have to take a break off.

Had the exact same thing. Ends up it was epiditymitis.

Welsh0913 Its like the between my groin and my thigh I used to get pain in that area as well when I first started squatting. I've worked on my form though and it has gone away.

i get this sometimes, im not sure if its the cause of it, but usually ill pull my pants/shorts down below my waist and my underwear a little above. This way the band of the pants or underwear doesnt get in the way of where the body bends which i think could be the cause of the burning.

I got it too.... It might sound odd... But it might be your skin pinching, or getting pinched by boxers or shorts... Its like a really hot pain... few inches long for me usually...

Ceaze do you wear briefs? now I do

princess0fdiabl0 i get this sometimes, im not sure if its the cause of it, but usually ill pull my pants/shorts down below my waist and my underwear a little above. This way the band of the pants or underwear doesnt get in the way of where the body bends which i think could be the cause of the burning. Interesting, I thought it could be this.. When I have the belt on it seems to be hightened pain too. I will play with this idea.

Sammo yeah, he tried the fat guy got knocked down at one point, but then was able to get ontop of the small guy but the small guy escaped man i need to see a vid of that i remember when I was in Taekwando as a kid one of my instructors went on UFC and got OWNED by some 6'8" polish guy.

Sammo I could go for a small animal right now This thread also reminds me of the fight from UFC 3 I saw that shit... white dude ran up on him a few times and finally knocked him down.. then started pummeling his fucking face in until the black guy quit

lol, back in the early 90s, nobody really knew what they were doing in the UFC. Emanuel should definitely have done some serious thinking before fighting.

I heard the newer guys who are starting to weight train more have been getting injured more. Saw it on a tv show.

eman's a dude

wtf...I was at the gym on saturday and I saw a guy I used to work with. After attempting to make small talk with me, he said that he was training shoulders. Now, when I worked with him about 5 months ago he really wasn't into working out at all...he's a decently built guy...very short and stocky. anyways, he gets on the military press(free weight) and puts on 135...reps it out with the worst form in the world. Brings it down to his chest. Then 185 ...then 225 all with the same form. Then 245 and gets it 6 times. I'm really surprized that he didn't tear his rotator cuff out on those presses...but he was doing them pretty easily. his other exercises were shit form tho...and weak weight. But his power is pretty damn impressive.

Where did you expect him to bring it down to?

But his power is pretty damn impressive. maybe he's not a noob and he just has atrocious form

Neo22 Where did you expect him to bring it down to? ass cheeks of course... thats the only way we roll here

incubimmer maybe he's not a noob and he just has atrocious form no, he's noob...I've talked to him about working out before and its always the "i need to start training" deal. oh well

yeah you think you have it bad, try gaining strength with a 6'6" wingspan ...im just waiting for the day a girl can lift more than me...thats probably when ill do a cycle...haha

i hate them too. and freshmen who threw farther then me in highschool. too they blow.

christophers my gym owner squats 550 @ 130 lb's bw at 40+ yrs old, female cycle time? shes probably run a few herself

christophers my gym owner squats 550 @ 130 lb's bw at 40+ yrs old, female cycle time? lol nice try, i said girl iblinktochinesegirlwarmingupwithmymax

Neo22 Where did you expect him to bring it down to? your chin, elbows should never break 90

PurEvl your chin, elbows should never break 90 =-o even for dumbell presses? and does anyone still do behind the neck presses? those are murder to my shoulder joints

and wtf, if i bring a bar/my hands to chin level, my elbows have already broken 90

KingGargantuan and wtf, if i bring a bar/my hands to chin level, my elbows have already broken 90 apeboy

PurEvl apeboy I could just see him demonstrating that in his office

PurEvl apeboy

Filmboy44 I could just see him demonstrating that in his office my brother is going to erase the memorys of fighting he gave you thru ancient chinese fighting memory erasing technique.

KingGargantuan my brother is going to erase the memorys of fighting he gave you thru ancient chinese fighting memory erasing technique. I was right wasn't I?

90 degrees would place the bar around my forehead.

cavefish 90 degrees would place the bar around my forehead. agreed

PurEvl elbows should never break 90 all my pressing moves would have a range of 3 inches then

size18boarder yeah you think you have it bad, try gaining strength with a 6'6" wingspan ...im just waiting for the day a girl can lift more than me...thats probably when ill do a cycle...haha 6'9" wingspan here.

PurEvl your chin, elbows should never break 90 how the fuck does that work. that means i dont even come down to the top of my head.

size18boarder yeah you think you have it bad, try gaining strength with a 6'6" wingspan ...im just waiting for the day a girl can lift more than me...thats probably when ill do a cycle...haha im 6'5 and have a 6'7 wingspan. i used to train shoulders a lot and that helped overall size. its sucks at first but the results are well worth it. 6'6 and Jacked > 5'6 and Jacked

i've always done shoulder presses only going down to elbows at like 80' barely past 90 and my shoudlers grow fine.

Sh0kka im 6'5 and have a 6'7 wingspan. i used to train shoulders a lot and that helped overall size. its sucks at first but the results are well worth it. 6'6 and Jacked > 5'6 and Jacked oh yeah dude when people see me in person i get ridiculous compliments and im not even jacked by any means...i was talking about strength though...thats a real bitch and plus am a whatever-morph that is all lanky and shit and not naturally strong

for the record. I hate strong noobs

Lateral raises

Lateral raises

I've always done'em with my elbows slightly bent... but I see people doing them with their elbows bent at 90 degrees... (allowing them to use much heavier weights). Personally, I feel that's it's kinda a cheat... but I bought that "Poliquin's Principles" book by Charles Poliquin (the "Guru"), and he favors the 90 degrees form... anyway, I was just wondering what you guys think is better.

I like 90 degrees too, just for the sake of going heavier. The further to the side I go, the more it feels like a rear delt

SteveO I like 90 degrees too, just for the sake of going heavier. The further to the side I go, the more it feels like a rear delt same, i feel like it hits the medial head more

90 degrees, RONNIE STYLE! When I do them like that I tend to use my traps at the top of the movement a lot more.

you can do either, depending on your condition and your goal! but in general, you should not lock your knees and elbows while lifting. but if you have the joints, ligaments, tendons to support your 90 degree or whatever you want to do, go ahead.. but i recommend everyone slightly bending on your knees, elbows, etc to protect your joints!

You seem to have missed the whole "elbows BENT at 90 degrees" thing.

cavefish You seem to have missed the whole "elbows BENT at 90 degrees" thing. shit, i DID miss that part! hahahha correction = 90 degree is NOT locking your elbows! 0 or 180 is. but i also train with variation of degrees since it activates different muscles in a different way .

hmmmmmm I must have word it wrong... cause most of you are replying, favoring the 90 degree form, but yet... according to the poll, most have voted "near" straight arm form... (NOT 90' degree)

your elbows at 90° is called an L-lateral raise

Today was the first day starting my routine for summer to bulk up. Throughout the course of the day I ate 6 sloppy joes, 3 pieces of pizza, 4 eggs, 2 protein shakes and a lot more too. I've never eaten this much Anyway, my moms going to the store tomorrow and I need ideas for really good munchie foods (with minimal preparation) that I can eat whenever I'm hungry. I'd prefer to stay away from full out cooking meals (ie. steaks) but minimal cooking is ok. So far I have -eggs -protein shakes -tuna
