Merry Christmas fitness forum! put santa hats on ur massels
I was wondeing, does smoking weed affect workout? I never though if it before, because i smoke a lot of weed actually.
Yeah, merry christmas from me too. And happy premature new year.
So I have been lifting weights for a couple months now on this routine and I have become noticably stronger and gone up a lot in the amount of weight I can do, but I was wondering what/if I can improve. I always lift free weights and make sure to have a spotter on benchpress.
Here is my workout schedule.
Monday Wednesday & Friday: 20 Rep 2 Set Squat & Dead Lift, 12 rep 2 set benchpress, 10 rep 2 set overhead press, 10 rep 3 set curlbar & tricep extension.
The rest of the week is my rest days.
Any information can help.
I think many here would recommend splitting that up so you wouldn't be doing the same workout three times a week. Rather have something like chest and triceps on one day, shoulders and biceps on other and legs and back on third or something like that.
I'm no expert though so ask someone else.

don't workout while baked
weed relaxes muscles and makes a lot of people un-motivated or something
toke after lifting yo
I really want to go back to my gym, but I won't be able to until mid-January. :(
Woo. On january 3rd it'll be one year since I bought my first gym card. One of the best decisions I've made.
Think of that agree as an "aye, good job bro" agree and not a "damn right, you slob" agree.

From what I have read a beginner should do a muscle 3 times a week to get the muscles trained and later change it to twice a week. So I think he is doing it right for now. Later on bring it to 2 times a week but more sets on the 2 days.
edit
Instead of rating dumb explain what is wrong with it.

I've never heard anything from anyone reputable about weed and fitness, so I'm sure it's fine as long as you don't hit the gym while high.
Ok Thanks.

[QUOTE=Milkie;33921813]Guys, what group of muscles do I have to improve in order to jump higher. My new year's resolution is to learn alley oop in basketball and I need to jump higher.[/QUOTE]Quick copy-paste:
[quote]The prime agonists used in jumping include the Quadraceps muscle group (anterior of the femur, including the rectus femoris, and the lateral, intermedial and medial vastii), the hamstring muscle group (including the semitendinosis, semimembranosis and biceps femoris), the gluteuls, and finally the plantar flexors (gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris).

Also, for some reason my quads are pretty muscly compared to the rest of my body. It's kinda weird, especially since I rarely work out my quads. I don't really do anything quad related, except for walking
can someone check my form please

This is my son's warmup.
I can't do barbell rows correctly. I'm unable to bring the bar up against my chest. Do my palms have to be facing me when I perform this exercise? I used the same grip that I used for my bench press..and my lower back also hurts from the rows. Am I supposed to use the same starting position as my deadlifts and does the bar have to go up against my legs? Advice?
How come when you deadlift more than you can, you don't lift up in the air and begin floating, because in essence, the bar is lifting you...

Because you're pushing into the ground?
No... it's actually gravity.

Dumbbell Rows..
[QUOTE=Lhp40;33932530]Dumbbell Rows..[/QUOTE]
Dumbbell rows are awesome. Great great for grip strength, lats abs chest, triceps biceps.
I really prefer those, but that's just a personal preference due to the fact I am very tired after Deadlifts and using my back further more is almost impossible. I wouldn't just go and replace them just like that. Compounds > lateral isolation (though it's hard to call very heavy db rows isolation)
If one can learn proper technique with barbell rows, I would stick to that and then maybe try and switch between db rows when the time comes. [url]http://stronglifts.com/how-to-master-barbell-row-technique/[/url]
For jumping do power cleans and hang cleans too, they teach explosive strength and you are in essence jumping in it so it helps too.

Well its supposed to actually be up against your belly button not the chest.
I tried out the BB rows today again, managed to hit my chest! But I'm not sure if it was an olympic (20kg) barbell. I'm heading to my usual gym tomorrow again, gonna give the same bar a shot.
ur chest or ur tits
I want to get fit but where I live there isn't a gym for at least 50 miles and it's getting a little cold to exercise outdoors.
I went out and bought a little 5 lb dumbbell and got a set of resistance bands for Christmas in an attempt to start a workout routine when I go home (still visiting family 'till after New Year's but I can't even take advantage of the gyms around here, used to have buddies with Planet Fitness memberships that allowed you to bring a friend but they canceled them).
Any tips? If you guys have equipment to recommend under $25 I'd appreciate it. :v:
