Why should the mods move this to General, this is the Sports & Training forum.
How many people do you know that TRAIN? The vast majority of things discussed in this thread arent about training. It's people looking forexercises/nutritional advice.

Judging by the overweight thread, it looks like a lot of people would like/need advice and ST simply does not get that traffic.


It baffles me why this thread is here. It has nothing to do with sports or training.

You're just insane.

In a given week, I might do 15 min of aerobic activity. Thats a good week too. I hate it.

The fat thread was 90% excuses and 10% positive

Maybe it helps that it doesn't get terribly cold in Florida. I'd hate doing anything in the snow because I like to train outdoors and that would out of the question. Inthat case I'd probably just do complexes or burpees.

It's great that this got moved. Hopefully now we can get this thread moving

Holy crap, I spit out my sandwich when I saw this back in General.

saxman, there are other ways to get your cardio benefit in besides running. i prefer bball, but you can do sports, circuit training, complexes,or tabata... and you can do all of these indoors.

i think the hardest thing to get used to when doing workouts outdoors in the cold is the feeling in your throat and lungs from breathing cold air so quickly

at the move back.

Is it bad to work out every muscle group in one workout or is it better to break them apart?

If so whats a good rotation?

 

[cronicmolemolereturns]

Picture time in a few days all the regulars still down? JoeCamel Audi WJ4,Iceman,Durden,wawaa etc

 

[blaxoid]

Not sure if this has been posted or not but here are some resources that helped me get started into weights:

Anyone looking for some good workout programs to start on read this thread Here

I recommend Rippetoes for beginners having done it myself.

Not sure how to do an exercise? This has a list of exercises by muscle; each one has a GIFshowing how to do them well.

Regarding nutrition; Don't over do it. While heaps of people swear by the Chicken Breast & Oatmeal diet for doing weights there are better ways: Readthis post for a different perspective Here

It's better to break them apart.

You can group them, like chest/triceps, back/biceps, and shoulders/legs, or you do a five day split, giving each muscle its own day(chest/back/shoulders/legs/arms).

 

[cs02132]

whats you guys opinions on doing arm days? right now i do chest/tri and back/bi but i kind of want to just dedicate a day to arms. any recommendations on whatday i should do it on? usually i'd do chest/tri on monday then back/bi tuesday, so i was thinking doing

monday-chest
tuesday-back
wednesday-shoulders
thursday- arms
fri-legs

I love working out in the morning. Theres a few people here who are mornings, and a few of the exact opposite (Joe/Audi I believe)

If I have lifted yet and its past 5 pm I just skip the day. I simply cant do it. Earliest im at the gym is like 7, but its normally around 9 or 10.

 

[sneakerking757]

cs02132 - That's fine. That's pretty much my routine, except I have my arms and legs day the other way around.

I'm thinking that's what I'm gonna have to go back to. Only reason I gave it up in favor of weight training was that things getsuper-competitive, and next thing you know you've been hooping for three hours and don't even wanna hit the weights.

And working in the cold is just ridiculous. I don't do cold. Funny as it drops to 0 degrees here regularly, but we'll see how things end up here inabout two months.

If you've had shoulder injuries in the past, like a rotator cuff injury or a torn ligament and you're still recovering, it's best to leave them alone for a little while, but if your shoulders are ok, they should be fine.

i'll post up some info later

but i really would no recommend doing upright rows at all, light weight or not. the injuries don't come right away so it can be deceptive.
