  1. Hey, If you dislocated your knee, you should've rehabbed with with a physiotherapist. They could discuss specifics regarding rehab. In general though, you need to focus on a few things: VMO strengthening. VMO is most active during terminal extension. I'd focus on Closed Kinetic Chain exercises like squats and single leg leg press, skipping. Start light and shallow. Pelvic stabilization (core, hip ABDducttors). This is quite important. Things like clamshells, single leg suats, bird-dog, leg lifts wiht your leg in extension. You might also benefit from a brace for patellar subluxations. IMO, if you rehabbed it well this is not necessary, but could be useful on your runs until you rehab it cheers, sam
  2. I've been getting a bit bored of the traditional weight training sessions lately myself. You should look into Cross Fit. Its intense, different, and leads to kick ass overal fitness For Yoga and Pilates, I like hot yoga. Once you've got a bit of experience you can do advanced classes that are quite challenging!
  3. That's amazing. I had no idea Bob Barker was that concerned with animal rights. I'm an even bigger fan now
  4. Lookin good everyone, I'll try to take a few photos and submit them..My back is terrible though Ruz, you're being way too modest, your back looked great.
  5. wow, amazing. He definitely owned the O this year! I was really impressed with branch warren too
  6. can you give us what you are currently eating as a starting point??
  7. Another Good Day Deadlifting! 235(x12) 285 x 8 325 x 5 345 x1 Also did: incline Smith Press Hammer strengh back Row Machine Shoulder Press (didn't like it, will substitute) Weighted Dips Rear Delt flys And of Course my stretching!
  8. I think stretching is a very important and overlooked component of training. I always finish my workouts with some really good stretching. If I'm super tired from my workout and catch myself wanting to skip out on stretching, i will y go down a carb/protein shake than come back out into the gym and stretch.
  9. Today's Workout Deadlifts (with straps): warm up plus 3 working sets: 285, 305, 325 (got 325 up 5 times, I think this is my record weight for that many reps) WG Pull Ups (DC style) - Bodyweight, can't remember rep range Incline Hammer Strength Chest Press (DC Style) 80/side Db Military Press (DC style) 40s Rear Delt Flys (DC style) Tricep Dips (DC style) 50 lbs db between legs Stretching- Chest/Lats/Shoulders/Triceps Decent workout today, mostly just pumped about my deadlifts. My form was rock solid during the 325, considering trying 330 next time!
  10. thanks guys, Think I'll be ditching the vanadyl. Might do the cheap version of ZMA though
  11. This is a great post. Reminds everyone of how animal products make there way into so many things. Veganism is about so much more than diet. I know guy who works on a veganic farm, and he gets compost from Toronto Sprouts (bloor/bathurst area)...I bet you could get some from them for your garden
  12. Thanks guys. I think my being short 5'7 makes my quads look better than they really are
  13. ha, well mine don't look from any angle, so you're beating me!
  14. I think I'm kind of the same, but I've never really thought to calculate a 1RMl and ya, volume wise, my quads have always needed a really high volume/dropsetting kind of finish to them to get growth. Between last November-Feb, they grew a lot, and that was because I finished every leg press with a 30-50 rep drop set. It was awesome. And biceps, i swear they haven't grown in 6 months, so trying something different!
  15. Couple Pics I took the other day. Can't wait to compare 3 months from now!
