136 profile is amazing. The only thing higher that i know of is egg white which is like 146, but that's something you have to cook and you damage alot of the amino acids.

 

Does anyone know what the score is on hemp seeds?

How does this work? Do you complete an exercise then move on? For example: 25 pullups then 50 deads then 50 pushups, etc.?

Or do you do: 5 pullups - 10 deads - 10 pushups, etc. for 5 sets?

I just did the following:

5x10 jumping jacks

5x10 burpees

5x10 pushups

5x10 db rows

then

5x10 clean and press

5x10 box jumps

5x10 floor wipers

This is the best/most exhausted I've felt after a workout. I think I'm going to modify my routine. Do 2 days weights, and 2 days something like the above workout.

but I could dead lift much much more than I ever could, and looked more define than ever. I felt strong.

Thats what im going for - more strength. I have a really small/scrawny frame, and I would like to gain strength rather than be big, and bulky. Thanks for the heads up.

Has anyone tried a workout like this? I think Im gonna give it a go. I'm in need of something fresh.

Sounds like you have a rotator cuff injury.

 

I have weak rotators as well, and overhead exercises used to KILL me! I was so weak I could barely do them. Over the course of about a year, I've slowly been able to strengthen it.

 

There are some exercises you can do with resistant bands to help strengthen your rotators. It's hard to describe them properly online but I'm sure you can look it up, or ask someone at your gym or a physiotherapist to show them to you.

Basically, you tie a resistant band around a pole and keep your arm at a 40 degree angle and move the band to the side, using only your rotator muscles. Keep the wrists straight, core engaged, back straight. I need a spotter, because I tend to lose my form very quickly due to the weakness in my rotator.

 

I also recommend doing a majority of your workouts with your arms close to your body. It's hard to workout the actual deltoid muscles without doing overhead or lateral raise type exercises, but right now, strengthening the weakened muscles is really important to do first.

 

When I am doing my rotators I focus on the left ones -- since those are the weakest. They are going to need more work in order to balance everything out. For you, it sounds like it would be the right.

I've been going to a chiropractor for about a month now. Right off the bat he asked me if I dislocated my shoulder at some point.

I never remember dislocating it. I thought I injured it doing laterals or military db's.

On the symmetry end, you could stop using the bar to lift, and use dumbbells instead, so that way both arms are getting the same weight. The weaker arm of course will get tired faster.

 

I broke my collarbone a few years ago and it never healed properly, I have this huge lump where a straight bone should be, so for some reason my left peck is larger than my right, by a lot. I stopped using the bars and started using dumbbells, and although its taking time, I can tell its helping my symmetry. On the push end, cant help you there. I do push ups all the time, and dont worry about the symmetry, their still one of the best workouts I think ever!

Ive been wanting to incorporate more dumbbell work - i just can't afford them. I want those powerblocks - but i cant justify spending $400 on them.

Turkish get ups are on my list of exercises I want to work into my routine.

I injured my right shoulder years ago, and never had it treated. It hurts constantly, and often gives me trouble. I deal with the pain - thats not the problem. I think it's resulting in crappy symmetry - The whole right side of my body looks like its lower than the left.

Also, my dominate right arm always feels weaker when lifting. I notice it when doing almost every exercise, but significantly when doing pushing, and overhead exercises. I've tried to remedy this by doing everything really slow, and focus on using both sides equally. It doesn't seem to be working though. I always experience more soreness in my left side than right.

Yes, pepitas rock. I used to buy these with various seeds/nuts/dried fruit from trader joe's, and make my own mixes.

I have a hard time controlling myself with these trail mixes. It's so easy to eat loads and loads of them. Also. the high calories, and fat scare me.

Pepitas are a great addition to home made hummus.

I've been following this routine for some time now. I feel like I should be changing things up a bit, but I'm finally feel like im starting to make some progress. How can I freshen this up a bit:

I don't know how to fit squats in there.

all of mine were impacted and they were all cut out in one visit, the demerol or whatever injection they mainline into the iv was one of the coolest things i've ever experienced, everything fell apart in puzzle pieces. tip with the vicodin, you will want it, but probably not at the dose prescribed, you can crush up a tablet and mix it with icy cold water and let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes or so then filter it through a coffee filter, it gets rid of the acetaminophen

Thanks for the heads up on the vicodin. Im gonna give that a go.

I had all four removed at once and gave the vicodin to my grandma for her back. I used ibuprofen a couple times a day and it was plenty. I don't know if it is any better to use that than vicodin, though, but I tend to think so.

I was hoping ibuprofen would be enough. I've heard vicodin usually causes nausea.

I did 'em one at a time over 4 months. I'd seen people who looked absolutely miserable who did all 4 at once, so I went the coward's way out and had them done with a month in between each one . But, mine weren't causing me any pain or having problems (yet), so I was able to take my time.

I have 2 that have been giving me a lot of trouble. So if Im doin it I might as well just get them all out.

i was strictly on a liquid diet for a few days. All I wanted to do was lay on the couch and eat ice cream haha.

Did you take any painkillers?

Im getting mine out next week. 2 impacted 2 partial. I was supposed to have them out about 10 years ago, but never got around to it. Now they're causing me a world of pain.

Share your experience - Most of the people I've asked claim it was no big deal. Although, a small percent said it was pretty horrible.

I'm not worried about it. I just don't want it to interfere with training, and eating. If this puts me out more than 1 day I'm going to be pissed.

Also, how about the pain? I don't plan on taking the prescribed vicodin.

Three cups of oatmeal and a hemp/spinach/blueberry/maca smoothie.

3 cups dry?!

i'm not the most knowledgeable on this, but if you are adamant about not gaining any fat, refined sugar should be avoided. stevia is a super sweet powder made from a south american plant that is virtually calorie free. in general, watch out for the hidden sources of sugar, especially in protein bars (ie cliff builders bars, they taste great, but carry 20g of sugar from brs) and sport drinks

 

DUDE!!! i am soo glad you said that i was eating those cliff bars and blown away by how much sugar they have in them YUK!!

Is 20g a lot of sugar? Organic Food Bars have 22g and I've been eating a couple a week. I never really pay attention to sugar, or carbs.

Chowing down one as I type. Thanks for the recommendation, taste is fantastic.

Serious? I thought you were a cyborg fueled strictly by smoothies.

Simmer the dates with a bit of water, juice, soymilk, etc. and stir continuously until it thickens.

Mix all your dry ingredients in a bowl: Oatmeal, seeds, nuts, dried fruit, etc.

Combine the date paste with the dry ingredients, and mix well.

Pour the mixture into an 8x8 pan, and let it cool.

Here's the recipe I slopped together:

4oz Prunes

4oz Dates

1TB Ground Flax (optional)

1/2 C Oatmeal (Use Food Processor)

1TB Peanut or Almond Butter

Raisins

Tart Cherries

Sesame Seeds

yeah, i'll give that a try. there's a little bit of a farmers market that happens with the bi-weekly artwalk in phoenix, and this old hippie guy had raw chocolate and green coffee beans for sale out of those big burlap sacks for cheap. on that note, does anyone know about home roasting coffee?

There's a couple ways you can do it - depending on your budget, and how serious you are about coffee. The only way I've done it is with a popcorn maker. Check this out. You won't get a very consistent roast, but it's miles ahead of the crap you'll find in the grocery store.

Maybe it has something to do with oatmeal feeling more filling than baked cereal? When I used to eat baked cereals, they never really made me fell satisfied, so there wasn't any chance really for me to feel sluggish.

I think it just makes me really bloated, and backed up. I don't have this problem if I eat it in the afternoon though.

Im looking for some breakfast suggestions - Excluding oatmeal, or cereals. Like i've mentioned before i don't think my body can handle oatmeal at 7 a.m. and I'd rather not run the risk of eating an entire box of baked cereal. So, what else could i whip up?

I never get a good pump, and I always goto failure. Maybe I just don't know what its supposed to feel like.

Odd to me that you can digest baked cereal easier than oatmeal.

I dunno. I just feel very sluggish after oatmeal in the morning. Im fine if I eat it any other time of the day.

How have you managed to change when you create the loaves?

Eating prunes, or greens before bed. I think the yerba mate green tea I have first thing in the morning helps also. Seems like within 20 minutes of consuming that tea I'm hittin' the can.

They have totally changed my life. No joke. I apologize if anyone is grossed out. But, this is a brilliant breakthrough for me. I've noticed a significant difference in the way I feel over the past week. I have lots of energy, and don't feel run down all day at work.

Also, I've been adding more greens to my diet, taking probiotics, and eating prunes. It's amazing how great an efficient digestive system can make one feel.

Along with unloading in the morning I've also changed my breakfast. I've always looked forward to oatmeal in the morning, but my body can't handle it. So, that's been replaced by a bowl of natures path, some fruit and/or peanut butter toast.

Now, I just need to find something to pick me up a bit pre-workout. Most energy drinks/bars don't do it for me. Except for steaz - I've been diggin those lately.

My only problem with eating late is sometimes I wake up feeling a bit crappy. Sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep also.
