It could be posture related... you said you have lordosis, right? I need pictures to be able to decide....
I read you could treat lordosis by doing warrior lunge stretches each day(I'm doing it, althout I don't have a very serious case) and it seems to be working(mixed with working out).
You could, but I would dare and say it won't fix the problem completely. There should be a combination of proper activation and mobilization work, alongside foam rolling and stretches to achieve your range of motion fast.
I don't really know where to post questions but is mixing weight lifting with cardio good for weight loss or will it just screw me up. For example if I do a lower body weight lifting then cardio will that mess something up?
Question about creatine - I've been lifting for close to 2 months now, getting my shakes in here and there and increasing the amount I eat. I've gained a pretty small amount of weight at the moment (need to eat more probably). I was wondering if I should consider creatine (I dunno much about it), and how I should go about incorporating it into what I'm doing at the moment.
Muscle training combined with cardio is an excellent way to lose weight as far as I'm aware, Webby
Creatine in the long run would probably end in more muscle mass and strength. Longer training = time under tension = hypertrophy... If improvement is his goal, then creatine would make him get there faster.
creatine owns
I use that Carnivor brotein, has creatine in it too. Great stuff, actually tastes good with just water.
[QUOTE=Seith;36341540] So using machines would solve the above problem? sounds like an escape route rather than an actual resolution. 1.80m is the standard height for racks, the fuck are you on about? find a different gym or a box of some sorts...[/QUOTE] For the first problem it seems that I can't exactly just walk it in to clarify. I have to squat a little to get it back in the rack or stand on my toes with the latter being a terrible idea. And it seems like a bad idea to squat on a box. I started using the smith machine when it first arrived on the advice of my trainer. I'm giving the old squat rack a try again though.

haven't been here in a while. Anyone know how ritalin affects bodybuilding?
I found no substantial negative side effects that will have an affect on your performance, body composition and potential growth. I'm really in the dark when it comes to Ritalin though...

lmfao I can't believe they are still trying to tell people they are natty
[QUOTE=AgentBoomstick;36345307]when you are using a smith machine you are neglecting muscles that should be being used with the exercise. if you ever start exercising with a barbell after prolonged training with only a smith machine, you can get some really fucked up injuries because certain muscles are unprepared.[/QUOTE] i sure learned that lesson today, i didn't injure anything but damn did i have to strip off a lot of weights for regular bench press. i've been using a smith machine for bench presses since a) i don't have anyone to spot me, and b) i don't know if it was from a final destination movie or something, but some guy broke his face after dropping the bar on it and that honestly traumatized me a little bit
Smith machine bench is horrible for your shoulders. With BB bench, the bar doesn't actually travel in a straight line up and down, the movement has a slight curvature. Smith machines obviously eliminate that curvature and can do a number on your shoulders. You don't need a spot for any lifts, just learn your limits and you'll be fine. There's no need to go to absolute failure every time and whatnot. I've lifted alone for many many years and have made great progress without putting 95 percent loads on bars or doing 1RMs.
[QUOTE=Seith;36366203]Looks normal mate...[/QUOTE] I guess mine look bad because of low muscle mass. My pecs are the hardest to train. I can workout my arms once a week and theyd get waaay bigger. my pecs on the other hand... o gad
I don't take any supplements, I just take a huge piece of cheese, put it in my mouth, and chew it. After that, I take a big salami stick, and eat it all. [img]http://www.boronisalumi.it/img/s-milanoz.jpg[/img] I suppose I progressed rather well over the months.

Ham and Cheese Sandwiches are a cheap way to get ur protein fat and carbs in. Fits my macros 30/30/40
Results showed that the quality of protein consumed in a 24-hour period was inversely related with visceral belly fat—the participants that ate more EAA-filled protein were leaner. The number of times they reached the EAA threshold was also significant, indicating that for best energy burning results, you need to eat high-quality protein throughout the day. The key to all this is to make sure that the protein you eat is of the highest quality and contains the most EAAs possible. Animal-derived protein—beef, fish, poultry, milk, and eggs—contain a better quality protein because they have more EAAs per gram of protein. You get more bang for your calorie buck by eating high-quality protein, whereas if you get most of your protein from lower quality sources (less EAAs per gram of protein), you will have to eat more calories to get the same overall EAA intake. This is especially relevant for people who are restricting total energy, or for anyone who is interested in optimal body composition and muscle building.
My tailbone recently started hurting. I don't recall any direct impact to it. So I'm assuming it might be some exercise I'm doing wrong. Anyone have this problem before?
