anu pwede gawin besides military press sa 5x5 wednesday?

i did military press pero sumasakit ung shoulder area, seems like something is being impinge... :grr:

i did the dumbell version instead....thanks for the infos :mtc:

 

 

when i train my shoulder i do it one shoulder at a time with dumbell. Too much weight (suck as lifting with 2 hands) might injure your back on this position..

That's one approach.. another would be to use the push press push jerk/split jerk to prevent arching of the back

hey thanks for mentioning HIIT. only heard about it now, will give it a go.

 

any tips on resistance settings on the bike and incline settings on the treadmill when doing HIIT? (i.e.,is it ideal to keep them at flat /zero, or could we jack them up?)

You can adjust the settings to your needs

Anyone read chad waterbury's latest article on t-nation -Essential Waterbury: Program Design?

 

He wrote:

 

"• Choose dumbbell movements over barbell movements, but don't neglect either."

 

Are there any differences between using DB and BB? If so, when should I use DB or BB?

 

thanks!

 

P.S. Sino nakapanuod ng commercial ng Alaxan FR? yung ni-challenge ni Taulava ng tatluhan sa basketball?

Tsaka may bago pa sila, yung semi-kalbo na guy na nagbabasketball din.. ganun gusto ko na katawan ko.

first off, was your form correct and were you pressing to the front? many times, people get injurd because of improper form and excess weight

i think my form was proper and the movement is going forward, the problem is when the barbell are midway my shoulder hurts...with the dumbell, same movement but the difference is my palms are facing each other and doesnt hurt at all... :grr:

You should balance out your macros and not make something lower than necessary. Lowering calories is far more important than dropping carbs or whatever

 

thanks man...

 

one more thing, is it ok to do abs workout everyday? heard from someone na it's better if i'll do it every other day so tha muscle would have time to develop.. i do mah chest and arms every other day and thinkin' if what im doin' with mah abs is ok.. what cha' think?

Most men would deny that they have man-boobs but the fact is, its one of the things that trouble us men everyday. It lowers our confidence, make us self-concious and unatractive. To those fitness buffs out there, we need your help mates!

 

Kindly share excercises or work-out routines so we can eliminate this problem :cool:

Must be an impinged rotator cuff... Stop benching as well and do dips instead

Your abs are always indirectly worked when you do any compound free weight movement...

 

And you should also spend your time developing your back and legs... All chest and arms will lmit your true potential and you'll look stupid and set yourself up for injury in the long run

It just means that you have to get leaner and lose the fat most often than not. Just scroll back as we've been discussing fatloss a lot here

your knees maybe, but your back shouldn't be...you must be leaning forward too much. Is it your lower back that's hurting?

hola masters,

 

tried HIIT last saturday on the treadmill (5mins warmup, 30secs fullblast, 30secs recovery for 15 mins at just a steady 2%incline)...i was still able to do a full upper body routine after that.... but man, i was really sore the following day (missed two workout days because of it).

 

tried it again just now on the reclined bike (5mins warmup, 1min fullblast, 1min recovery for 15 mins; i increased resistance 3 points every cycle), it was more "manageable" in the sense that my legs do not ache as much. after that i rushed through another half-body workout (this time, just two sets each, because it was already closing time).

 

will probably try it again on the spinner tomorrow evening.

 

this is fantastic because i cut my cardio time in half but still end up sweating buckets and out of breath!

 

would just like to get your feedback regarding the following:

 

(1) which machine/routine is the most effective? or are they all the same? goal: want to trim down for the summer beach season.

 

(2) is the routine i am using ok or can i still improve it?

 

(3) i read somewhere that you should use HIIT (a) every other day and ( only on days when you are not doing weights or anything else, but i find that i still have enough energy to do at least a half body workout. If I keep doing HIIT everytime i workout (i.e., make it my regular warmup/cardio routine), will it be detrimental in the long run?

 

thanks!
