  1. i think they are about to come back! 35C great! here we have under zero temperatures in winter sometimes, but what i think is the worst is humidity, it really sucks. and 10C is cold for me, i hate winter and low temperatures.
  2. ooh! i know two girls who went to londrina to study chemistry. and of course lots of people who have been to Iguassu , florianopolis, ferrugem, rio, and so on! and they tell its really wonderful! i think you have much greater weather than us here. I hope i can go to Brazil and live there a cople of years when i finish my carreer. Beijos!
  3. yesterday i ran about 5 km (walked 1,5 of them),the weather was really hot so i found it hard! today: Warm-up: 10min cardio. 2 sets each: - Barbell row 20/12,5- 15/12,5. i will increase the weight next time - Barbell press 11/15- 8/15 - Deadlift 15/20-15/20 1 set each: - Crunches 230 - Calves 20/15
  4. nice!! I know Pelotas city, where are you from?
  5. i do deadlifts with 20 kg and its ok, because i dont have to lift the barbell up to my head. people who train with a squat rack dont have to lift the barbell in order to put it over their shoulders before they start the excercise, the barbell its already at their shoulder height. im pretty sure that my squat movements are correct, i dont have problems with the squat itself. i think i will decrease the weight and squat as usual (i dont have problems with 12,5 k, will try 15k), maybe i add some lunges too, until my shoulders and arms get stronger so im not afraid of getting hurt and yes, one legged squats are really a challenge! thank you for your advice people!
  6. - Squats 10/20 -10/20 this is my las squat session im having some problems with my squats. i bulk at home and find it difficut to lift the barbell from the floor to my shoulders.i dont want to hurt my back. today i did it with dumbells but i think it didnt go well anyway. i dont feel muscle failure, i just stop because i feel i could be hurting my soulders and my back as well. my back is really weak. im thinking about decreasing the weight and increasing the reps, but not sure. maybe i could do lunges with less weight instead. any advice would be great here!
  7. nice abs! your improvement is really good!! for curiosity, do you know your bf%? i bet it has decreased a lot!
  8. in saw your youtube videos, really funny!!! congratulations ! and good luck with your workouts!

Warm-up: 10min cardio on elliptical 2 sets each: - Dips 12- 10 - Pullups 4-4 - Squats 10/20 -10/20 1 set each: - Crunches 200 - Calves 22/20 im having some problems with my squats. i dont want to hurt my back, today i did it with dumbells but i think it didnt go well anyway. i dont feel muscle failure, i just stop because i feel i could be hurting my soulders and my back as well. my back is really weak. im thinking about decreasing the weight and increasing the reps, but not sure. any advice would be great here! i improved the running thing> 1 km runnig 0,25 km walking 1, 25 km running 0,25 km walking 1, 25 km running total- 4 km (3,5 running)

  15. today i run 3 km 1 km running 1/2 km walking 1 km running 1/2 km walking i had some pinto beans with rice, some almonds, about 10 crackers, some chocolate, soy milk and 2 apples
  16. i wonder if it could be related to high blood pressure, it never happened to me. i think you should ask a doctor.
  17. today i ran 3 km in the morning, i felt exhausted and decided to return home before the 5th km. i started with weights! im following Alexander Dargatz s routine for begginers Warm-up: 10min cardio on elliptical 2 sets each: - Dips 10, 10, no weight, only my body - Pullups 3, 3, assisted with a 15 cm step so i can reach the bar easily- really hard- i also jumped a little - Squats 15-15 , with 12,5 kg, realised it was too low, next time i will increase weight 1 set each: - Crunches 200 abs in total, cant tell the name in english, 100 of them were crunches - Calves 17 with 12,5 kg
  18. well, today i decided to get started with this. i went running, did 1 km running 1/2 km walking 1 km running 1/2 km walking 1 km running 1/2 km walking 1/2 km running total= 5 km it was really hard!! i tried to do HIIT but my runnig mate didnt like the idea so i think i will follow her (she is trying to increase the running distance and decrease the walk). tomorrow im buying a barbell to start lifting at home, i have done bodybump for 3 months at the gym but i decided to quit for two reasons, theres too much people at the gym (summer is coming) and i have read that i will achieve more results if i go for lower reps and higher weights. i had some pasta with tomatoes and beets before the run and a glass of soy isolate after it, i dont remember the rest! next time i will forgot to write down my goals>> i have 51 kg, 20,1% fat. my goal is to be 18% fat by january 10. also improve my posture, i have seen photos were i stand really stooped.
  19. more or less, i also find it hard to train, dont think its wrong i agree, but artificial light doesnt have the same spectrum of the sun so we cant just put artificial light as a substitute. sorry to say that they will, here they live in large rooms with artificial light, i dont think they know what sunlight is (well maybe they are given other chemicals in order to compensate this lack )
  20. i believe that some points are true, i think that sunlight make some hormonal change, what i doubt is if difference with artificial light is really important. theres some research about the amount of suicides(as a way to measure depression) in countries with different sunlight hours per day which finds that its higher in those places where the sun rises only a few hours. somehow its said that serotonine is stimulated by sunlight and melatonine by darkness, which explain why we find it better to get asleep in a dark room. accepting this i wouldnt find it so hard to believe that insuline and the growing hormone (these are mentioned in the book, in some research the writer says she did) are also regulated by sunlight in some way, of course not only by sunlight! of course the book tries to convince you that you will at least die if you dont change your lifestyle haha! but, books and shit apart, perhaps it is a little true. i wonder how deep would be the difference between one and another lifestyle. its very interesting knowing of someone like Cellar, who lives in an owl- way like me and has succeded, which points out that the difference may not be really big...
  21. I have been reading a book about circadian rhythms and how people who dont follow them are affected (No more diets by Daniela Jakubowicz) What the book says is that we have hormone fluctuations during the day, regulated by sunlight(of course regulated by the brain, but sunlight stimulates this). the writer suggests that in order to get strong and avoid getting fat, people should sleep at night and be awake during the day, excersice in the evening, have a huge breakfast and a poor dinner, avoid fats and carbs at night, go to sleep early, wake up early, etc. All your activities must be according to circadian rhythms. the point is that I find it very difficult to behave like this, i just cant get used to it! I go to bed at 5 am and wake up really late, i find it easier to study and work in the afternoon and at night. On the other hand I have two friends who work at night and i have seen how they became weak in a year, i dont know if its because they dont sleep at night or the reason is other. Do you follow the circadian lifestyle? do you think is really important following it? Id like to know about your experiences, i dont know if its worth trying to change!
  22. thank you Dylan! I hope i can make some progress and share them soon about soccer, i think most uruguayans feel a bit dissapointed with the manager, and with some players too! maybe its because we are so grey (and its true, we are!) that we never run out of complains, no matter what happens!
  23. thank you so much PittyLove !! I will read about HIIT and give a try, and yes, those are my numbers, i dont have any muscle, i have small bones (i look like a 11 years litlle boy!), but have lots of fat specially in my legs, i know people who have my size and they weight more and look less fat than me, lets see what happens!
