Christophers, about your Core strength routine.

Christophers, about your Core strength routine.


I did my squats and DL today as well as BB Bench press I am assumeing this is what you meant not DB BP, and my Incline DB press. I know what you meant with everything except the squats Should I be doing a conventional squat, or what? On the DL should I be doing Romanian, conventional, sumo or what Bro? When it comes time for me to do lunges should I be doing them bare ( i doubt this ) with a DB, or BB. Should I be doing a short stroke lunge or just a standard lunge? Im sorry for the questions, and I am sure I am overthinking this I just want to make sure I do it right.

Gutrat Romanian deadlift is different then conventional and sumo. No shit really ( Sarcasim )

Coventional and Sumo seem pretty similar to me other than the wider stance with the Sumo. Anyways. Romanion is off the wall I dont really want to try it unless I am supposed to be doing it.

I don't get how RDL's are "off the wall"...

Silver85327 No shit really ( Sarcasim ) Well, if you know, then why On the DL should I be doing Romanian, conventional, sumo . Well if it's different, so why compare them all? It would have been better if you asked, Should I be doing conventional or sumo? Also, should I be doing Romanian? Well, I don't want to argue or anything but do whatever you feel is good. For me, sumo is alot easier then conventional. Anyways, your not supposed to do anything. Just ease up on the weight a bit (for romanian), since it is a tiny bit harder on the back (anecdoctal evidence). Are you tall?

5'11" - 6'0" I havent measured in forever since like 10th grade. Sorry about the wording in my first post. I though you were just trying to be a smart ass in your first post hence the no shit. Sorry Bro.

D-GUy I don't get how RDL's are "off the wall"... They just look really difficult on this site http://www.bsu.edu/webapps/strengthlab/exercise.asp I mean they show the dude bringing the weight about a foot out from his body looks like its a good way to get hurt.

summo or conventional should work, it should nto matter, be sure to rotate the two, do bothg, not one or the other. Squats should be box or normal. use a BB or DBs, either will work, i dunno the difference in lunges, i never do em, i would say do whatever u feel works the best.

Since you brought it up what is the point of the box in the box squat? Is it just used as a " stop your just right go back up " type thing or what?

The new AV kicks ass Vettedude

Silver85327 Since you brought it up what is the point of the box in the box squat? Is it just used as a " stop your just right go back up " type thing or what? www.elitefts.com go to articles, click on loue simons, and read his box squating article.

yeah basically read every article on elitefts

Demize http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/cyberpump24.htm Jonno does it..

holy shit, i think ill try but thats fucking insane

Ilyusha Jonno does it.. ...death

20 rep squats

i think id puke all over some bitch on the treadmills

my training partner tried it one time with front squats. Looks hard/fun.

20 rep squats is a good cardio workout

jonno 20 rep squats is a good cardio workout says your heart ready to jump out of your chest and home

Arnold's routine calls for a 20 rep 1st set for squat. Damn that routine was crazy fun.

i do 5 sets of 12 squats...kills me every time..think thats too much? i hear high reps are good for legs and i have been making good gains by doing it

christophers my rep chart 6-8 cardio 3-5 strength singles - what god intended fixed

I don't think i can do 1 squat right now, yet 20

cbrpimp how much weight do you use? this shit looks intense/fun If its what I think it is... You're supposed to use a weight you can do barely do 10 for but squeeze out 20 by taking a few deep breaths inbetween reps. I do these for a few weeks and then wimp out and change my rotune.

LOL... I attempted 20 rep rest pauses last night with 405... I hit 19, but i could no longer breathe... I could have finished it, if i could have gotten some air in my lungs... Definitely a brutal set none the less... NOT good for the CNS though, so must be used sparingly... But that set was a comedown after working up to 617 for 4... So if I had done it fresh would prolly have been telling a different story...

Perplexed Pics of you? ...

tize oh yeah i tried that before, HST is harder 15 rep everything

A short while back a fellow f&n member posted some pics of his 1fast400 order. In that order there were a couple of different flavors of Isolate, Grape and watermelon. I'm about to place an order but I can't find that product anywhere. I looked in the past threads but I can't find it there either. Does anyone remember this post??? or am I just crazy.

Anyone have a problem with their stomach being too big?

Anyone have a problem with their stomach being too big?


I wish it were a little smaller. Not the actual outward appearance, but the capacity for food. I like to eat until its painful, that limit is way too high for me. I can hold an ass load of food. it was smaller when dieting, but its huge now. :-x Anyway to make it smaller aside from eating smaller meals throughout the day?

christophers thick waist = big squat he wasn't referring to waist size, if you read his post

christophers ah shit

hot dog eating contest!

I eat truck loads of food like its nothing! I think all this drinking of water made my stomach huge. I drink a liter in a couple minutes. ;o

I sometimes wish I didnt have to eat so damn much to get full. Not only am I always the last one eating but it gets expensive too. And its also sucks when you are on a diet, but good when you bulk.

Working out in the morning > workout out in the afternoon

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.
