Usually I go back stronger and with a HUGE amount of energy. Then I injure something and I'm back off again... lol... seriously I've injured myself almost every time I come back after a short layoff. Don't try to push yourself EVEN harder than usual because you feel guilty for taking a week...

Royalone... you might want to change what you're doing for Cardio. Stepmill (basically real steps you have to go up) Incline walking (10-15 grade) Running With Bikes/Elipticals/ski machines you aren't working against your body. So it's a much easier form of exercise and you waste too much...

5'10 188lbs. Want to be 185... 3 lbs to squeak off.

Hey! Good to see your making progress. I think you're doing everything you need to be doing as you've lost a healthy amount of weight in a good time period. Just keep it up as it will get tougher to stick to your gameplan. As you get closer to your targeted weight it will get a bit...

Collagen Cream... Whenever I get the little red tear I put this on religiously and it's gone in a couple days... It's CHEAP... Vitamin E is a waste of time IMHO.

My backs been wrecked for a couple weeks... going to a massage therapist right now... Damn pullovers and presses... those damn things killed me.

Green Tea... got me off coffee... I lost 10 pounds in a month or so... I started with Lemon flavoured and moved to just straight green... it's not bad.

So I haven't really encountered this but I assume it's related. I took 5 days off as I was on a trip. I came back and jumped into a strong chest workout. I pushed as hard as ever as I had lots of energy for the workout. I feel the pain in my chest... it's great! But my back today is...

I don't write them down at the gym. But I do have a spreadsheet at home that I track my exercises and sets. I don't tind the weight amount to be that important because A)I remember what I can do and want to do and B)If you adjust form a little bit than your weight amount changes anyways...

8:00AM 1 cup oats, 2 scoops whey, 1 cup milk, i tbs oil. 12:00pm Chicken Roll, salad ... that's about it... im at 1100 calories or so. But I'm only eating about 2200 calories a day now.

If you're going for Strength I'd split up the workout around the power exercises. Day 1 - Squat - Quads, Calves Day 2 - Clean and Jerk - Shoulders, Abs Day 3 - Deadlift - Back, Biceps, hamstrings Day 4 - Bench - Chest, Tri's I'd spend a good portion with the big exercises, and REALLY work...

If I want to have a big set I'll take a bigger rest... if i want to get a bigger pump and feel the burn than I'll do less of a rest. But I vary it throughout my routine... never the same. That said I get bored if I wait 3 minutes between sets personally... my max is about 2.

I do my workouts in the morning... cardio at night. Last thing I want to do is to use up my energy in the morning doing cardio and then have a crappy workout. Personally it doesn't matter WHEN i do my 45 minute cardio... just as long as I do it at some point. with the aspirin/caffeine...

Nothing else? Those cook up like pancakes??? yipes...

Moderation is the key. I coach 12 year old kids and will start next year helping them weight train if they so choose. But I will be sicking mostly with Core excercises, large amounts of reps and never going for "power or strength".

not enough in that sarah to get me going... need more protein and complex carbs... maybe throw some firm tofu in the blender with that? You wont taste it and it should give you some more protein.

Find out about your body... After a while you can gauge what is enough.. you want to be sore but not so sore that you can't move that part for too long. You'll get to understand what quantity of sets/reps is appropriate for your body to stimulate growth. I do around 16-20 for large muscle...

Yes but what about diet? Do you calorie down a bit from your normal? Or do you keep eating as normal.

So... Here's what I know. A) You can't "sweat out" a cold. It's a virus and takes time. B) If it's a fairly minor cold, you can workout approx 75% of weight with low intensity (yawn). I tried that yesterday with Delts and left pretty quickly as I was getting a bit of a headache and sweaty...

Yes IF you know what you're doing... but you can imagine potential damage to body parts when training to failure is put in the hands of an inexperienced BB.
