only 3.5hrs of sleep - would u still hit the gym

Because of my crazed obsession of working on my car till the wee hours of the morning...I literally had about 3.5hrs of sleep last night. I was a mess at work and was falling asleep on the phone w/my girl earlier. I am kinda awake now, a tad groggy, but conscious. If you were in my situation-would u still go to the gym today? I try to go 7 days a week, just because I can since gym is soo close to me and its such a habit not that when i am forced to skip a day, i feel super guilty. **EDIT: I would do elliptical for 30-40min, no lifting.

Shaolin_sword36 i'm pretty sure it will overtraining one day, i doubt he would overtrain.

i wouldnt

princess0fdiabl0 one day, i doubt he would overtrain. he already goes 7 days a week (assuming medium to high intensity) that is overtraining as it is

I wouldent I am lazy and really like my sleep

no

Shaolin_sword36 he already goes 7 days a week (assuming medium to high intensity) that is overtraining as it is my bad, should have read the post closer, 7 days

you're not going to get much benefit until you actually rest and let your body recuperate, so why bother

getting used to my new gym... pro grip "rubber" db VS. full iron b

getting used to my new gym... pro grip "rubber" db VS. full iron b

[since google dont work, i can show the pics of the two] anyways, in my previous gym (2 years old---basically brand new) the dumbbells i used there for 2 years was the "rubber type". now in my new gym (same franchise) they have older weights, and the db and even plates are the old full iron ones. i dont know if its just me but the older full iron weights are heavier than the rubber type. for example, with the rubber type, i can do 90lbs db incline 4-6times. while with the full iron db, i can only do 80lbs 4-6 times same i notice with BB bench. anyone here ever had this kinda change?

they're steel, not iron

The YMCA near my house, where i work out during summer or when im home on a weekend from college has the steel DB's...they are not that heavier from the University Rubber DB's...

Ceaze they're steel, not iron ok, steel it is but yea, 45lbs rubber != 45lbs steel

deznutz The YMCA near my house, where i work out during summer or when im home on a weekend from college has the steel DB's...they are not that heavier from the University Rubber DB's... i also notice that, the higher the weights off the ground, the heavier they get

LS Boy i also notice that, the higher the weights off the ground, the heavier they get What?

45lbs = 45lbs I've never had problems with different dumbbells.

my gym has a mix of rubber and metals. the rubbers seem more heavy for some reason. I noticed that the grips on some of the metals are much fatter (i have long fingers) which I like and can lift a little bit more of

im thinking its the grips also..coz the rubber one has fatter grip compare to steel. all in all, weights is weights

seems like every time I use the steel weights, they are always loose and rickety, I like the rubber weights.

maybe the listed weight of the rubber DBs are the total weight, whereas the listed weight of the steel DBs only include the plate weights, not the handle?

heres the pic difference: rubber = steel =

I just hate the busted ass steel ones because they get shit all over. I always end up with powder/metal shavings/whatever all over me

KetchupKing maybe the listed weight of the rubber DBs are the total weight, whereas the listed weight of the steel DBs only include the plate weights, not the handle? That may be one of the dumbest things Ive read on this forum. wtg

iwishiwascool That may be one of the dumbest things Ive read on this forum. wtg Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me. stfu.

Boomer Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me. stfu. no, no it does not... why the fuck would someone sell u something gheavier than it actually is...

tize Big deal, get over it. Man up

iwishiwascool That may be one of the dumbest things Ive read on this forum. wtg Actually one of my gyms has the plate loaded ones and the "40's" have 4 10lb plates on them.

cavefish Actually one of my gyms has the plate loaded ones and the "40's" have 4 10lb plates on them. Same here, that's how my gym's are. I'm gonna see if I can take one of them on a scale and see the actual weight.

vettedude no, no it does not... why the fuck would someone sell u something gheavier than it actually is... kids these days.

nathanbx Same here, that's how my gym's are. I'm gonna see if I can take one of them on a scale and see the actual weight. i was gonna say, if you really think the weights are more or less than the actual weight of the dumbbell... go take it over to the scale and measure it. simple process. if you find that both weights weigh the exact same... then it's all a psychological factor of thinking "metal weighs more than rubber, this'll be harder".

iwishiwascool That may be one of the dumbest things Ive read on this forum. wtg

It depends on the manufacturer. Some are off 5-6 lbs. We actually were screwing around one day and put different plates on the scale. Some of them weighed 45 and a couple weighed 40. I believe Ivanako was true weight and the other plates under different manufacturers were not true.

Intellex I just hate the busted ass steel ones because they get shit all over. I always end up with powder/metal shavings/whatever all over me If I hit the rubber ones together they normally bounce off to much.

You shouldn't really be hitting the dumbells together that hard.

Best OTC Antiperspirant?

Best OTC Antiperspirant?

Well ever since I have started my E/C stack a few weeks ago I have started to sweat pretty heavily under my arms...so I was wondering what everyone recommends for the best anti-perspirant. I currently use Degree, but it doesn't work well at all. Didn't want to post this in the main forum because of all the douchebags there and I would just get flamed more than actual advice, thanks.

Right Guard with the Power stripe works well. The key is to get anti-persperant and deoderant. Deoderant just covers the smell.

Mystery Guest Right Guard with the Power stripe works well. The key is to get anti-persperant and deoderant. Deoderant just covers the smell. this stuff smells good too

I went to Kroger the other day and saw this stuff called Mitchum...I thought I overheard somebody saying something good about it. I might go try and pick that up today.

Old Spice Red Zone has always worked for me.

http://www.drugstore.com/qxp11764_33...rspiration.htm

red zone sucks, axe stick sucks, right guard sucks, speed stick sucks, mitchum is good...

While on the discussion of anti-perspirants, I have a few questions as well. I find that I sweat quite a bit even if I'm not physically active. My right armpit sweats sometimes for no reason at all. And when I'm at work (truck unloader) I get really bad swamp ass. Is there like some kind of pill I can take that will lower my overall perspiration because it's embarassign.

I use old spice soft solid. The green solid type red zone caused me to have a horrible burning when ever I put it on though, so I stay away from that.

ACURA TL-S I use old spice soft solid. The green solid type red zone caused me to have a horrible burning when ever I put it on though, so I stay away from that. That means it's working. When i went to a Doctor about my perspiration problems he prescribed me a product called Drysol that I'm supposed to put on my underarms before I go to bed, and rinse off in the morning. It's extremely itchy and burning, but that's normal. After 3 days of use my underarm perspiration completely stopped.

Just sitting around doing nothing at all my pits start to sweat like mad, and I get swamp ass real easy....But thats normal, cause its Az and its fucking hot. But hate my pits sweating in the winter while watching TV. My undershirts go bad real fast. It sucks

It's extremely itchy and burning, but that's normal. After 3 days of use my underarm perspiration completely stopped. had the same problem, bought some drysol from an online pharmacy for $20 and apply it weekly, problem solved

White Holy shit, I gotta look into that! I have same probs as you. Just sitting around doing nothing at all my pits start to sweat like mad, and I get swamp ass real easy....But thats normal, cause its Az and its fucking hot. But hate my pits sweating in the winter while watching TV. My undershirts go bad real fast. It sucks Yeah, I rotate my white t-shirts every few months. I need to get some more drysol because the cold sweating is coming back . Read more about it here: http://www.drugstore.com/qxa1067_333..._is_drysol.htm and here: http://www.rateitall.com/i-27898-drysol.aspx Note that 1/4 of the people on that website are pussies. After you put it on just suck it up and go to sleep and it'll be fine in teh morning. Nothing works nearly as good as Drysol, trust me. Ask your Doc about it.

++ to that Certain Dri stuff. It works like Drysol; you put it on at night before bed. It works really, really well. I used to live in a swamp (Houston), had horrible armpit sweat, but Certain Dri solved everything. Plus it's only like $6 too. Should be fairly common at local pharmacies.

Is there something that can be done about yellowing shirts? Not to worried about it on my regular t-shirts but my nice ones seem to get ruined quickly.

jshively Is there something that can be done about yellowing shirts? Not to worried about it on my regular t-shirts but my nice ones seem to get ruined quickly. Get this spot shot stuff, dont know what its called =/ but spray it on pits before put in wash, works wonders.

axe cause the ladies love it

jshively Is there something that can be done about yellowing shirts? Not to worried about it on my regular t-shirts but my nice ones seem to get ruined quickly. Yeah that's why I never really buy white shirts...they go bad after like 4-5 months, so it's not even worth it to me. My undershirts are horrible.

i use degree but I'm a pussy girl so who cares

i have to switch every 2 months or so, otherwise i start getting irritated..

I'm gonna try drysol, I sweat like crazy all the time.

bigbadben http://www.drugstore.com/qxp11764_33...rspiration.htm this is similar to what a friend of mine in england told me about last week. its called triple dry. im a bit nervous with the aluminum chloride in it. ive heard ppl getting cysts and stuff from it. although, it works great. i hate having sweat circles when i wear dress shirts.

PNHWrestler Me duh how could i forget about u...

I would venture to say Preemo, but I don't know everybody's stats and bw so I'm not sure.

Bench, probably Uncle John. Squat and DL, probably Christophers, maybe pur. Overall in the big three probably christophers, but again maybe pur.

Didn't Preemo pull 500 at ~150-160, or wherever he is?

b-stevens Didn't Preemo pull 500 at ~150-160, or wherever he is? If I remember correctly he has pulled 500 at 165lbs and benched 335 (or maybe he was trying to bench 335). I don't remember reading what he squats though.

Weight Training and Jogging/Running?

Weight Training and Jogging/Running?

I am 20 years old. 5'11" I weight 155lbs. My body type is athletic, im kinda cut. I want to gain muscle mass throughtout my entire body. I also want to cut up my 6 pack more, especially those stubburn bottom two. I was recently told that if i want to gain weight, i shouldnt be running or sweating too much and should just concentrate on eating a lot (eggs/protein), and lifting. He said when you run it you burn the calories that your muscles need and you wont gain. is this true? I want my daily workout to consist of jogging a mile or two. Lifting for an hour and a half. and every other day either, running up stairs or workin out abs. I plan on taking supplements like cell-tech/nitro tech, and pumptech. Does my workout regimen seem good? anyone have suggestions? should i be running? or is there a optimal or bad time to run? perhaps running right after my lifting workout is bad? SUGGESTIONS SUGGESTIONS SUGGESTIONS

1st. STICKIES. 2nd. Running is not going to kill your muscle gains. Run a mile or two a day, it's good for your heart. 10 minutes of cardio will definitely not cancel out putting on muscle, *provided* your nutrition is on. 3rd. What exactly are you going to be lifting? What body parts, how many sets, how many reps, what days? "Lifting for an hour and a half" is an awfully vague goal. 4. Generally speaking, you can't drastically put on muscle and drastically lose fat at the same time. However, if you haven't been eating well and working out up to this point, you may very well lose a little bodyfat as you put on more muscle. Have you been working out? What's your nutrition like?

However, if you haven't been eating well and working out up to this point, you may very well lose a little bodyfat as you put on more muscle. Have you been working out? What's your nutrition like? I have been working out for a year now with little breaks here and there. recently i just came off a 1 month break, where i've noticed i've lost weight and i seem a considerably deflated as people can easily tell. like my mom and friends. When i lift, i have two basic split ups. one day i will work out Triceps, Chest, Quads. the next, Biceps, Shoulders, Back, Hamstrings. I never developed a numbered ammount of sets and reps. but i train with what i consider moderatly heavy weight where i can do about 10 reps, except for chest, where i will use enough weight where i can only do about 3 lifts some times. my ab workout consists of about 30min. 50 ab rolls twice, 50 leg lifts aka roman candles w/ 2.5 lb ankle wieights twice, and like 25 situps and 25 crunches. i do this every other day. as far as eating....i was eat 2-3 times a day. and i having 1 protein shake 40grams right after i lift. i dont usually have breakfast but im about to try and incorporate that, and even eating a couple more egg whites than usual. say 2 whole, 2 whites.

General impressions...too much ab work. Not enough protein. Egg whites have crap for protein honestly..about 4 grams per egg white. Not that it's not a good protein source, you just need to eat a bunch at a time for the protein to add up. You *need* to come up with a more structured program. And start logging it You can't tell if you're progressing or not without that.

BlissWitMyBlizz! thats why im about to go all out and buy the celltech, nitro tech, and pumptech. $150...hope its worth it Dont forget the Mass Tech

you will have to decide whether you want to gain muscle mass or lose fat to develop your abs you won't really be able to both at the same time. one involves eating more calories, and the other involves eating less calories. if you want to gain muscle mass, then you're going to need to eat excess calories every day, above your maintenance calories running will burn these calories and will be detrimental to putting on mass.

BlissWitMyBlizz! ya, i have been thinking that im lacking the protein and food. thats why im about to go all out and buy the celltech, nitro tech, and pumptech. $150...hope its worth it PLEASE for the love of god don't buy the tech stuff. Ugh. It's pretty much complete junk. First work on your food. If you have to buy stuff now, creatine and a decent protein powder. Optimum makes cheap and decent tasting stuff.

just be careful with ur knees. run soft, heel to toe.

also, if do ur cardio at ur target heart rate, you will burn more fat ratio than your muscles. therefore, dont do ur cardio higher than your target heart rate, then u actually lose more muscle than fat.
