Ape Shit Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 jogging.. anyone get shin splints really bad? mine get quite numb after a mile or two. i've tried different stretched, or putting ice on them after a run, to no evail. anyone have any tips? shoes, stretches, etc? Used to get them horribly when I ran in a pair of cheap $50 Nike running shoes. Then I bought a $150 pair and the problem went away. Felt like I was running on a cloud. Shoes can make all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchThe$nitch Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 thanks for the advice, i do need to upgrade my shoes for sure. i've never done tiablis excercises, but i'm looking them up now. as for enjoying running, not totally. i do it to burn some fat fast, excercise my dogs, and releave some stress.. i'm good for 2-3 miles outside at a good pace or at about "7" for 2-3 miles on a treadmill.

gasfacevictm Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I see. Well, as far as the dog walking, that's a must. As far as the rest of the jogging, I'd abandon it if I were you. Firstly, the treadmill. It is useless for anything besides a warm up and the mileage you do on it is not nearly accurate because you aren't using all of your leg muscles to "run" on it. You are basically bouncing up and down on it. You could get the same amount of exercise doing jumping jacks. Jogging doesn't burn fat fast. It's steady state cardio and fucking boring, not to mention it's hurting your shins. You could get much more out of sprinting 2 or 3 times per week if you're willing to change it up. Just mark out a spot that is about 100 yards and gun it, rest, then do it again. Do that until you can't do it anymore and you're done. Takes like 10-15 minutes. Burns way more fat and saves muscle.

KINGSHITOFFUCKMOUNTAIN Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 shin splints? walk on your heels (stretching your toe up as high as you can) then toes (raising your heel as high as you can) 10 - 30 steps each for a couple hundred yards before your run.

MitchThe$nitch Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 thanks^ and thanks gas face, i should consider sprinting or mixing it up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasfacevictm Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Yeah, I mean if you enjoyed jogging it'd be different. I personally hate it with all my heart. Sprinting is fun for me though and it's over and done with in 20 minutes. You can also feel your legs and ass getting stronger after doing them for a few weeks.

chunturo Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 midwestfit.com (though i'm in Cali) has great daily workouts. they are quick and kick ass; creative. i've been getting emails from them for about two weeks and love it! better than usual chest/back/shoulders one day, arms/legs the next, rest, repeat.

pissdrunkwhat?! Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 CONVICT CONDITIONING IS GREAT. ASIDE FROM THE FEW (UNRELATED) INJURIES, I DO A LOT OF THAT STUFF REGULARLY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasfacevictm Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 How often do you gorillas take a rest week or deload? I been going 6 days a week for about 4 months straight and I think I need to chill this week. Been feeling lethargic and just tight all over since Friday night. Haven't done much but stretch, sleep & eat since then. I don't really buy all that programmed rest stuff, but rather do it when you feel that your progress is being hindered. How often for yous fucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pissdrunkwhat?! Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 i work out every day unless i do something pretty active. some days lighter than others, but bare minimum some cardio push-ups, pull ups. days i skate a bunch or work really hard im not gonna do much, thats like a day off. i gotta wear myself out to sleep really terribly. i guess ill only be able to rest when im dead.

Vanity Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 ok, so after doing the convict conditioning for a minute.... Like: -it's focus on no equipment -focus on overall development and not just for looks -fairly simple system -more physically challenging than anticipated -almost entirely focused on strength/ power, so can do a cardio routine the same day -different exercises.. it's nice to be upside down sometimes Dislike: -some of the later progressions in a step can get boring (3 sets of 40 vert pulls) -not the fastest. you can't pump out a set quickly (120 vert pulls at the suggested 6 seconds a piece = 12 minutes of vert pulls, not counting rest) -some of the earlier steps are almost all form, so it's hard to know if gains are due to better form or actual strength. So i'm sticking with it for now. I'll probably reduce it if someone gave em a gym membership, but i ain't paying for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 start work at 10 am, 24hr is in the same retail center been going to the gym at 8 am and doing cardio/lifting new job so I plan to make this the routine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often for yous fucks? lately, but mostly because of work, i haven't been lifting as much and i went to the gym 3 times this week,. i like to try and go 6 days a week and rest whichever day i feel like it. rest is important though....kinda....i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanfullofretards Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Spend $50-80 on a whole body massage. You might feel sick the next day from the toxins that get released, but your muscles will love you for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasfacevictm Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I just took a week off and ate a lot. When I went back I was a bit tired, but I am a lot looser and able to put up more in my squat now. I was doing power snatches and cleans 3 times a week on top of all the compound lifts I was already doing daily for like 6 weeks straight. Shit had me a bit tired at the end of that 6th week.

pissdrunkwhat?! Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 TAKING CARE OF YOUR JOINTS BY PROPER TECHNIQUE AND FORM IS BETTER THAN REST. SERIOUSLY. YOUR BODY IS A MACHINE BUILT TO RUN EVERY DAY. NOT SAYING IT NEEDS TO BE RAN TO HELL EVERY DAY, BUT ATLEAST A LITTLE EXTRA EFFORT, NO SABBATH SHIT, HAHA.

angelofdeath Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 pissed is sort of right.... a foam roller, proper warm up, etc go a long way. but i still think you get a lot out of a deload. depends on how hard you are actually training really. i've always noticed i tend to be stronger when coming back from deload/'strategic de conditioning' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasfacevictm Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 What were your gains like after going hard for six weeks straight? I didn't do anything on Sundays during that time, but...this week I am significantly stronger after my week off in my deadlift and squat LIKE WHOA. Either I was underestimating what I could lift before or all that work paid off, because my dead increased like 40 pounds and my squat went up about 30 pounds. I think I still might be able to do more on the deadlift, but the squat was as much as I could handle and still go below knee level. Also, snatches are fun. As far as piss' foam rolling and all that. I use a tennis ball and press up against a wall to dig it into my muscles some days. I have a large piece of pvc to try and roll on but it doesn't cooperate with me well. Maybe if i wrapped it in duct tape it would work better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
