Weight Training and Fitness Happy Nude Year!
| Anyone have any plans, changes, or even resolutions to their training regimen for 2012, to share here? I've been considering adding more crossfit to my routine this year, seems my body needs a change from the heavy lifting that powerlifting movements place on my body, sorta to "recharge" my batteries. At my age the bod just doesn't recuperate like it used to...... | |
| I have several friends who are inyo Crossfit. Many of them have been injured because ot is easy to over exert and use poor technique. Look into ultra slow techniques. Faster results and no injury. | |
| Happy New Year to everyone! I'm looking forward to my training and getting back some of what I lost 3 years ago. Ironwarrior I hope your changes in your training prove successful. | |
| Thanx Nilo. Hoping you recover what you lost, I'm sure it's a lot of psychological warfare as well as physical. As of now, I'm noticing a change in my body comp; I'm a little leaner than before, and at my age that's a good thing. Plus my joints (ie hips, knees, shoulders as well as my lower back) needed a break, and crossfit has provided just that. Another plus is that my fitness level is still high enough that when I do decide to get back into powerlifting training, I won't have too far to go! I've been concentrating on form and moderate but not heavy weights, thus minimizing chance of injury. | |
| I recently found that my testosterone level was in the very low normal. Mt doctor prescribed monthly shots of 600mg plus vitamin D3 of 5000 mg and 50mg of DHEA. My weight training involves ultra slow motion work with a trainer. I've done this for 3 1/2 years and have had no injuries of any kind. Google slow motion training and try some of your routines in slow motion. For example for a bicep curl, on the positive side take at least 10-15 sec. to bring dumbbell up and same amount of time to complete the negative. You will quickly reach complete muscle exhaustion. No need to do a 2nd or 3rd set. Go to next exercise. Another bicep exercise: Use an exercise tube with handle, spread feet at least shoulder width on tube, pull handles up to 30 deg, hold for 30 sec, continue to 45 deg for 30 sec then to 90 deg for 45 sec, 120 deg for 30 sec and full contraction for 15 sec. then 30 sec to lower band to 30 deg. I guarantee your arms will shake mightily. If you have enough strength, start the routine without stopping. | |
| Getting set to retire on March 30 of this year after 26 years of driving for UPS. Getting out while still able to walk away rather than limp away, and looking forward to re-opening my gym, training others, and devoting more time, focus, and energy into my own workouts! | |
| Added some box jumps after deadlifts last nite onto a 28" box. Hadn't done those since my early 30s, and went from an 18"er and worked my way up in 2" increments. My trainee Noah, who I've been training for the Calif State Powerlifting Championship this weekend in Corona, did the 36" easily (ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..the wonders of youth....) | |
| Sh*t, was I an idiot! I acquired a 500 lb tire last week and was on my 3rd flip with it and felt a pop in my left forearm near the elbow. Ice immediately kept the swelling to a minimum, and took some MSM, bromelain, and turmeric to help with inflamation and healing. Feeling better much better now but exercises requiring supination and/or pronation of the hands must be done with caution, ie-lighter weights, slower motion, etc... | |
| ...we WILL be watching, Irish... Best of motivation and success, start off slow, as getting that one beginning session in will at least give some momentum, and then the momentum gains speed as you feel better about working out, whichever way working out means to you. Proceed and progress at your own pace, as only you know what's best for you and how far to go to test yourself. We're in your corner, keep us abreast on your training! And never be afraid to ask questions. | |
| Another sign the apocalypse is upon us...I tore a hamstring doing some sprints this morning, jeez I MUST be getting old, stuff I used to do 5 years ago is now causing pain and injury, and stuff I would recover from in a week are requiring longer periods. No squats or deadlifts for a while... where's Nilo when ya need his input? | |
| IW I'm bleeding with you! Reading your posts are killing me and I don't mean my funny bone. I'm holding a workshop this weekend at my place in Newport, details at nilosbacksurgerysurvivalguide.blogspot.com . It's at 4pm Saturday the 14th. It's play any sport pain free! | |
| Sounds pretty good; I think I'm free that afternoon, I'll check my calendar, and the rain should be done by tomorrow. | |
| Hey Nilo, thank you for the invite, and had full intention of attending. with my tax appointment scheduled from 1-2pm yesterday. As it turned out it took another hour and 45 before I finally got out of there, which put me @ 3:45, and over an hour drive to you from where I was. Let me know when your next workshop will be. Thanx! | |
| Hamstring is slowly on the mend; light stretching, temp-contrast, and (somewhat painful) soft tissue massage are the order for the next 3-5 days... | |
| This morning did some light sprints (about 70%) to test the hammy/glute, no real pain. Then did some light rack pulls snatch grip 3x10 reps, short ROM. Next did Deadlifts standing on a 4" block for 10s, then a set of Romanian DLs snatch grip for 10. Finished off with some Reverse Hypers and set of "Land Mines". Light weights all around but felt good...right now no pain is good news! Gonna work back slowly. | |
| WHERE THE HECK IS EVERYONE HERE?????????? I'M THE ONLY ONE POSTING!!!!!!!!! Last nite Safety Bar Squats 185x10, 205x6 Deadlifts 275x8, 315x3 (still wary of the hammy) BentOver Rows (unsupported) 3x8x145 Assisted GHRs 6 reps (these give me the most trouble; after 5 reps I can feel the affected hamstring sort of 'ball-up') Reverse Hypers 2x12x50 Sled Drags (facing) 160lbs/80yds Abs (various) | |
| This is for IronWarrior. Last few weeks I've hit post surgery PR's. 72.5kg in the clean for multiple singles and 52.5kg in the snatch for a single. I'm still here buddy reading it all :) | |
| Good to hear from you Nilo. Good numbers. Keep that progress going! I'm gonna be in your part of town, in Costa Mesa, for the National Powerlifting Championships, June 29-July 1, at the Costa Mesa Hilton. | |
| 25 lb tubing curls: 3 minutes for 90 deg., 105 deg, and full contraction and back to 90 de. horiz leg press @ 412.5 lbs for 2 min and 3 sec on a total of 7 pushes, holds and negative returns. 151 sec of 122.5 lb bench on a total of 5 pushes, 205 lb abduction and 167 lb adduction: 2 min. plus other exercises. About 3-4 weeks before I have to stop for a couple of months due to thumb surgery. | |
| Thanks for that posting Fiesco. We spoke a little bit at GE back in April about your routine. Seems like, at least for myself, it requires patience. Something that I really don't have much of when I'm exercising. The only slow movements I do are unintentional, like MAX squats or deadlifts. I prefer to get the lift over and done with asap. You're in good shape so it must be working quite well for you! Good luck on that procedure; how much will it set you back, physically? | |
| The Perfect Workout has 5 sites in San Diego, 6 in Orange county and 3 in L.A. I strongly recommend that you get on their site (www.theperfectworkout.com) and read through the pages of info on slow motion training. Check to see if you can get a free get to know you session. The regular sessions are only 20 minutes 2 days per week. When you complete one exercise, you're done with that exercise: no second, third or fourth set which fits your desire to get the lift over and done with. If you're down in San Diego on a Monday or Thursday, I can bring you to one of my workouts. An anomaly on an EKG has set me back on the surgery. Once surgery is done I will be able to continue working out my abs and legs, but that's it. I have to have both hands available for chest, shoulders and arms. | |
| I recall April last year with my shoulder surgery. Was unable to do any upper body work (maybe DB work with the unaffected side), so confined training only to legs. Unfortunately I couldn't support the barbell on my back to perform squats so I had to resort to buying a 24HrFit membership, just so I could use their leg press machine, which actually worked out OK. If resourceful enough, we can make things work. | |
| Today changed things up a bit... While wearing my 20 lb weight vest I performed 3 rounds each of: 2" Battling Rope 45 sec KB Swings 53 lb 12 reps Neutral Grip Pullups 12 reps sucking air hard for a while after that, still about 90 here |
