Played the last 3 yrs as a db at ole miss but im transferring after I graduate in may.
Yea summer time we work our way up to 16x110's with 14s to finish by starting out at 8 and  working up to 16 by adding 2 each week on tuesdays, on thursdays we do ladder sprints starting at like 6 or 8x 100's, 6x80's, 6x60's and so on with 15 seconds rest btw sprints and 90 seconds rest btw sets and once we get to 60's and 40's the rest changes to 11s and eventually we work up to 10x100's, 8x80's, 6x60's and 4x40's which are back to back to back to back to finish them off (since the rest time was so short these sprints were more like form running at a good pace not an all out sprint). On fridays we do stadiums starting at 4 or 6 and working up to 14. This is all in June/July and we also to prowler sled pushes which to me is just a version of HIIT. 
 
Dont know if yall tlaked about it but I was recently put on to this cardio workout called M100s. Apparently its what MMA fighters use.

Thanks man, this will help bigtime
 
^^^ No problem
Is simplyshredded.com not working for anybody else? it works on my phone but not when I open it up on google chrome or IE
 
Anybody got any meal recipes on how to make them?
I remember somebody posting a chicken breast with steamed veggies. I'm too lazy to fish for the pic but where do you find chicken breast?
I went to walmart and all they had was turkey breast that was cut into tiny pieces. I only have canned chicken breast. I need to eat better tasting healthy food. Help me out NT.

You probably need to check walmart earlier in the day, I know the one I go to usually runs out of stuff like fresh chicken by night time
 
^^^ I went at about 9:20 am. I think my walmart doesn't even sell whole chicken breast.
Another question to NTers that don't use supplements: I'm thinking about quitting my supplement intake. I just watched a video about whey and I'm becoming more convinced that I should go natural then take processed protein. Any thoughts? Positives or negatives? My main concern is that I'm wasting my money on whey protein when I could just be eating foods that already have the protein.

2nd question: How do I increase my metabolism?
 
Anybody looking to add bold flavor to their food then put some "liquid smoke" on there, been putting it on everything for the last week or two and it taste like I grill all my meats in the backyard.

And brett good idea on the wraps been using them for lunch for both chicken and turkey breasts/burgers, probably gonna mess around and make some fish wraps with tilapia tmr for the hell of it.

I do 40min-1hour of cardio for 3 days out of the week. But I was reading that that doesn't help because once you're done you stop burning calories.
He was getting at intesifying weight training or something. Came to NT for more elaboration.

high intensity cardio will help you burn more calories during the day, even after the workout is done with.

good looks on the workouts.
HEres an example on what my high school is doing now and throughout the summer winter.

The 3 max lifts we test are Bench, Squat and Hang Clean

so we test every 4 weeks and to start off we have the Core of our lifts which are 

All supersets are doing the same reps that you just did for the set, aside from GHR which is usually 5x6

Mondays:

Bench supersetted with Glute-ham raise 

Then Regular Squat with Plate raise. 

Tuesday:

Power Clean supersetted with Walk-unders (usually a hurdle)

Front Squat: 4x6 w/ weighted sit-up

Thursday:

Box Squat w/ Plate Raise

Incline Bench w/ GHR

Friday: 

Deadlift w/ Weighted Sit-up

Hang Clean to Front Squat w/ walk overs. 

The Amount of Reps and weight is going to change from week to week, 

Percentages represent the % value of the Max lift you did. 

the First week/4th Week for Bench, Squat, Power Clean is

60% of Max x 10 

70% x10 

75%x6 

80%x5

85%x4

90%x2

95%x1

2nd week I'm blanking on.

3rd Week is

50%x10

60%x10

70%x10 

75%x6

80%x5

85%x4

90%x2

Front Squat is always 4x6

Incline Bench is usually around 60-75% of your bench max 

For my Deadlifts, I usually just use a little more than my Squat max, and Reps are no more than 3-5, with weight ranging from 75%-90% of max. 

Box Squat is 60-75% of max with reps ranging from 3-5. 

 For the Days workouts, if there is a pyramid, so on Mondays we go through the Squat and Bench lift twice, along with on tuesdays with the Power clean. 

We also have assistance work that varies from day to day, but Mondays/Thursdays it works the Chest/Legs and Tuesdays/Fridays Back/Legs. 

For Abs we have a Ab Circuit that we do every day before our actual lift.

1 min. leg lift w/ time added on for bent legs, hands near/under butt. 

then 1 min. plank

1 min side plank each side.

then 25 crunches

25 toe touches

50 russian twist (25 each side)

25 suitcase crunches.

50 alternating crunches

then 25 cruches again

I've had some great gains so far on this, 

I'm 5'10" ~170 and i started off Squatting 315, Cleaning 195 and Benching 210, w/ a 28.5" vert. (can barely get rim)

I'll post my new max lifts when I test not this coming week but the week after that.

it's easy to cheat on a treadmill.  it depends on the user how "accurate" a treadmill is (e.g. running naturally vs. hopping on the strides)

You have to fast for a bit before you give the sample. Think you can make it?

I've been thinking about getting some bloodwork done. One thing I've been learning about is food allergies and testing for them. You might wanna look into that. A family friend got tested and found out that he's allergic to peanuts, something that he used to eat regularly. Since he cut them out, he's been feeling a lot better.
 
a couple of keto questions:

backround:

so ive been doing a low carb diet for about 2 months, its been working alright but i havent lost much weight these last 2 weeks, so i decided to see what keto is all about, found out its pretty much the same as what ive been doing, except for the lower protein and more fat (and no carb ups of course).

ive mainly sticking to 30g of carbs or less, but i counted everything including fiber, so i upped the fats and stopped counting the fiber on thursday last week, yesterday i went out and bought ketostix just to try them out, tried them last night and results where the darkest color i can go, tested this morning as well and same result (checked it this morning just because)

so im assuming ive been in ketosis for a while now (or not?), so should i do a carb up? (i feel fine and have plenty of energy at the gym)

if i do one next weekend, do i HAVE to do them every weekend or whats the deal??

what happens if i dont carb up?

as you can see, im such a n00b when it comes to this, i just ate low carb because it kinda worked before, thanks in advanced guys...

Wish i was bro, i could use a workout partner too. Im good with my ipod and some music, but i feel like i can get out a few extra reps with someone pushing me harder and have explosive gains.
