msulazy I agree with some of your post and pumping iron in an air conditioned building your advice would probably work. However, I don't care how well you hydrate for how long before hand, you come down here to florida and hammer singletrack for an hour or participate in any other high intensity activity like full court basketbell for awhile and don't take in fluids and you will bonk! get cramps, ect. I've been living here for my entire 36yrs of life and your advice would be pure disaster with the heat and humidity we have 😉
 
If you are small and want to be big you are probably mistaking the workout u need to do. "No pain, No gain" often leads to plenty of pain. Believe me. You need to do the cardio, and you need to ease your way into weights. Hitting them really hard is not only really stupid, but you will wear yourself out and are gonna do yourself some potentially serious harm. Start off with some light reps, maybe 8 - 12 with some weights that you can lift easy enough, but by the end of your set you are pushing yourself to finish. Do this for a while, take Creatine and some protein powder. Eat lots of meat and carbohydrates. Keep this up as a general rule for the workout for the first month or two, then gradually add more weights to the reps until you find yourself forcing the final reps again.

No pain No Gain was invented by people who don't know what their talking about. Pain is bad.

Also, get someone to spot you. If you overdo it and are going to drop them you may need someone to help. My brother was doing some overhead presses and didn't have someone to spot him, he ended up in trouble and dislocated both his shoulders because he didn't have that spotter.

what! don't listen to this pansy! You're never going to make serious gains if you don't workout with high intensity. Yes it's a good idea to stretch and do a quick set with a light weight to get your blood bumping... but don't be a puss puss when you're in your workout.

On some days i do escalating density training. It's a super-set between two exercises for the same muslce (like a decline bench press and decline chest fly), they're a moderately medium weight... say i can do about 10-15 on a fresh chest... but i superset them for 20 minutes, withonly about a 15 second break between each. Now after about 8 minutes im in a numb pain. after about 20 i can't feel my muscles for a couple minutes... granted you can't go overboard and if you feel your muscles ripping apart you should probably calm down. but you must have a high intensity when working out or you'll be stuck on the same plateua forever

there's "lifting while injured" pain, which is foolish, and there's lifting heavy pain, like some of the squatting/deadlifting i do.
you don't want to lift until an injury is likely on the next rep, but i do believe in pushing myself.

i rarely use a spotter because i know my limits & use safety equipment whenever possible. in my experience, "Overdoing it" == "gym newbie."
 
Preach it yobarman! Pain is weakness leaving the body, and man do I have some serious weakness runnin' like draft dodger for Canada when I do stuff 😛
 
So when you say rocky juice do you mean you mix all that together? If so maybe thats why you're getting sick, sounds gross 😀

LOL, you sound like this guy.
 
Was effort expensive today, you couldn't get much ?

Lift you worthless piece of S--t.

I don't mean to say anything, but my girlfriend lifts more.

You lift like old people F--k, slow and ugly.

Of course it's heavy, that's why they call it weight.

That's not bad....for a girl.

I've seen your pool cleaner lift more... hey wasn't he at your house today with your wife while you were at work ?

Worthless must have been on sale, it appears you stocked up...

That's OK, just take it easy this set, By the way, how was that McDonalds you had for lunch today ?
Those are great! 😀

hehehe.. those are amazing!

About the raw eggs, I've been putting those in the blender every morning for YEARS now .. nothing bad has ever happened to me and it's a quick breakfast.
Also, about the just starting out thing.. I'm not really, more like "getting back into it" .. I used to work out before, but I've been on hiatus for a few years now and have been gyming it up occasionally for the past two months, which were my 'rebreak in' period. And about a spotter, I use machines when I don't have one, unless I'm using dumbells, then I don't need one. When do presses, I use the.. man, what's that machine called, it's like a bar, but it's fixed to that rolly thing that has a rack on it so you can save yourself by twisting the bar... that one 🙂

Alistar7, go threadcrap somewhere else. Just because I have an opinion doesn't mean I have to prove it to tools like you.

That's like saying you've been having unprotected sex with different women for years now and you haven't gotten AIDS yet so why stop now? IIRC, 1 in every 20,000 eggs contains the salmonella bacteria.

yes and no. I'm in chitown, which is known for grueling summers. I run the triathalon every august when it's 95° on an 80% RH day after training all summer in the same. It's a 4 hour workout, but because I drink a gallon of water a day, I never need it during the race. I hit the gatorade stations once or twice for about a tablespoon of liquids, and once or twice I'll drop a powergel...but if I drink liquids during a workout...whether it be a 6 mile run, 30 mile bike, 1 hour swim, or 90 minutes on the weights, I have the urge to unswallow. BUT, I fully agree that if you don't take SOMETHING when you're not in peak physical, you will certainly bonk.
 
I used to throw up after some really hard and important cross-country races, but I think that was mostly due to nerves.

Don't overexert yourself.
