Jay. I recently contacted a cousin of mine in regards to supplements for DOMS. Being older guys like ourselves you know it takes longer to recover. She sent me a tub of D-Ribose powder. I'm certain you know about it, but if you don't check it out. It replenishes your adenosine triphosphate which is the primary energy carrying molecule in our body.Quote:

Ya know,that's one I have't heard of. Or at least don't remember hearing of. :silly: I'll look in to it. I've got a few other things right now that I'm looking to try down the road,but that may be one to include in the list. Thanks for the heads up. Oh.Quote:

I've got a quick question that's probably pretty dumb...
I'm not able to do "traditional" cardio out here (no place to run, no stationary bike, no treadmill, etc.) so two days ago I incorporated some bodyweight and light dumbbell cardio circuits to the end of my normal lifting routine. Like everything I kept the intensity high and was only able to make it through 2 1/2 circuits before literally throwing up both times.
Now I am in good shape. I max my Army APFT with no problems, I know I'm just pushing myself really hard. Do you guys think that I will benefit from lowering the intensity so that I can complete more circuits and potentially burn more calories, or that I should keep it up this way?
I kind of like the feeling of pushing myself that hard, so I don't know which would technically be better for the best fat loss. Halp?
heytred. Everybody reacts differently to HIIT and modereate cardio. I'm like you in I like the feeling of pushing myself to exhaustion. But, due to a foot injury I have to do no/low impact cardio for a while. Basically, I'll be in the "fat burning zone" the whole time. It will be interesting to see how it works out for me between the three days of lifting and three/four days of cardio. I want to maintain lean muscle so this might be beneficial to me.
There's an old saying. Do the cardio that you like to do and most importantly watch your diet.
I would maybe alternate the high and lower intensity. You don't want to only do high or only do low intensity. I think doing both will help you to be a more complete athlete, possessing both explosion and power as well as endurance.
I can tell I havent been here much recently, this new layout is weird...lol So I finally broke down and got the P90X DVD's. First day was today. Im exhausted but feel good. Hope I can stay motivated for the entire time!
It's been a couple weeks since I've worked out. I've been stuffing my face with everything in sight. I feel like ****.
Time to do something drastic so I'm gonna do....

What is your thinking behind this?Quote:

Anyone have experience with T Bar Rows? The one where you stand on a slanted platform and put your chest on a 45 degree slanted support cushion? I did them all last year, then did cable rows for about 6 months, and just did a t bar row last night. I didn't feel any pain, but I can't figure out if it's a machine that will injure you or not. I can't arch my back like I can on the cable row although I'm not rounding my back either. At the same time, it seems like the chest support would take stress off the spine.
I have a cardio question
Yesterday I did my normal HIIT - alternating 3.5/6.5mph in 1min intervals for 15min
Then I followed that with 3.5mph on 5.0 incline for 10min (which I assume qualifies as low intensity stead state)
My questions:
Am I doing HIIT wrong if I can do that LISS afterwards? Or should HIIT exhaust me to the point that I'm not able to do more cardio immediately after?
If it's ok, does this sound like a good cardio session for 2-3 times/week, when paired with weight training? Right now I'm trying to lose weight and improve my general fitness.
You're fine Ren. Look at the last 15 minutes as a cool down. You want to feel tired after a workout and not exhausted. I've made the mistake of doing that many times and it drains my energy for the rest of the day or two.Quote:

Stringing together a bunch of good workouts to start off the new year. Getting ready for the hiking season,(which here means about 5 months from now). Hoping all the rest of the gym rats are doing well early in this new year. :)
