Sciatic Pain stops me from working out. help

About two years ago I was diagnosed with sciatica. Well since then everytime I start up a new workout routine i'll get into it for about 2 weeks and bam it hits me. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this? I usually get a sharp pain down my left rear and it freakin hurts for like four days. I stretch every morning as I was taught in rehab. I can't figure it out. help

i have it as well, sleep with a pillow between your legs. it will work amazing.

also, do reverse hypers. if your gym doesn't have a machine, either find a gym that does or improvise and do them on the regular hyperextension bench facing the oppossite direction. reverse hypers are one of the main reasons i am even able to go to the gym anymore after my herniated disk a few years ago that had me basically crippled for a long time.

Can you describe how to do the reverse hyper? I don't know all the technical terms. thanks

Rack Lockouts

Rack Lockouts

How far are the pins supposed to be above your chest? I did it today with ~2-2.5 in gap is that okay or should it be more?

I only moved the weight 5 or so inches today

Mike McDermott you can put the pins anywhere between your chest and your lockout

they also mimic the stroke of a normal bp more that a pin press

Calories in a gram of carbs/protein/fat?

Calories in a gram of carbs/protein/fat?

What are the calories in a gram of protein, fat and carbohydrate? I am setting up my diet and I want to do it right. The numbers I came up with are 4 calories per gram for protein, 3.5 cals per gram for carbs, and 9 calories per gram for fat. I wonder if those are right. Thanks!

4 per carbs. rest of the #'s are right. you can find this on a cereal box

nonplus 4 per carbs. rest of the #'s are right. you can find this on a cereal box Well i'll be damned. Thanks!

Well then lets use this thread for something else. On my diet that I am starting next week, I need to eat around 2250 - 2450 calories a day at the beginning(205 lbs). I am wondering should I eat my bigger meals earlier in the day and tick myself down towards the end and eat my carbs in the morning?

Try to eat a good lump of your carbs before your work out... assuming you are lifting too?

iwishiwascool Try to eat a good lump of your carbs before your work out... assuming you are lifting too? Definatly, I just finished writing up a routine. But I workout at like 10 in the morn after waking up at 8:30 - 9:00 so I will eat a carb breakfast, oatmeal and english muffins Workout Sunday: Boxing/Jump Rope Monday - Back/Biceps Deadlifts - 4 x 8, 4, 4, 6 Chin-ups - 3 x 6, 6, * Row Machine - 3 x 6, 6, 6 Barbell Bicep Curls - 3 x 6, 6, 6 Hammer Curls - 2 x 8, 8 Hanging Leg Raises - 4 x 15, 15, 15, 15 Mon Night: Running Tuesday: Boxing/Jump Rope Wednesday - Legs Squats - 4 x 8, 4, 4, 6 Squat Press - 3 x 6, 6, 4 Leg Curls - 3 x 8, 8, 6 Calf Raises - 4 x 15, 15, 15, 15 Wed Night: Running Thursday: Boxing/Jump Rope Friday - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps Dumbbell Incline - 4 x 8, 4, 4, 6 Dumbbell Bench - 3 x 6, 6, 4 Arnold Presses - 3 x 6, 6, 6 Upright Rows - 2 x 6, 6 Cable Pressdowns - 3 x 8, 8, 6 Crunches - 4 x 15, 15, 15, 15

looks fine, but you should throw some protein in the mix pre work out too.

iwishiwascool looks fine, but you should throw some protein in the mix pre work out too. I know that, I am going to go through and set out when I should eat at what time during the day for my meals. IE: Breakfast: Calories 600, Carbs 60g, protein 40g, fat 20g etc etc... thats not what I am going to use, thats just an example. I always mix 8oz of OJ and a scoop of whey for my preworkout drink.

Calories in a gram of carbs/protein/fat?

I want to put on the LBS

I want to put on the LBS

So in my thread earlier this week I got a new rountine. But I want to put on the LBS. I eat 3-4 meals a day but it is obviusly not enough. I bought some weight gainer 2200 Gold will that stuff even help at all? Or will it just be eating till I want to throw up all the time?

mmm gradually increase your caloric intake every week.

Creatine Capsules

Creatine Capsules

Im about to buy some creatine soon. I saw some creatine capsules at my gym. It had 90 of them inside. Each capsule has 2000mg I believe. It was 30 bucks for the bottle. Is it worth it to get. Or should I just get the powder instead.

Is it worth it to get. Or should I just get the powder instead. Just buy a tub of monohydrate or ester.. $30 is way too much. 1fast400.com has CEE and monohydrate.

Waste of money?

you can get caps, just not at that price.

buy the powder and cap'em yourself

90 * 2 grams = 180 grams of creatine @ 30 bucks is wayyyy over priced. i just bought 1000 grams (1 kilogram) of creatine mono powder for 21 bucks or so. that's the equivelent of 500 of your size caps for 2/3 the price. dont bother capping it. you can get 1000 grams (basically a year supply) of cee for 34 bucks, which is worth way more than those 180 grams of creatine mono for 30. CEE - http://www.1fast400.com/?products_id=1533 Creatine Mono - http://www.1fast400.com/?products_id=1153 they also have smaller sizes of cee/creatine mono if you dont wanna buy a whole bunch (cee works on most people, creatine mono is a hit and miss it seems).

wood buy the powder and cap'em yourself more info on capping? im interested in putting a handful in caps for convenience
