I worked out so hard tonight with cardio and resistance that I need to take three Advil! :flag: No pain no gain! :icon_tease:
So true. I don't even listen to suggested reps of a given exercise. When it "hurts" and you start to struggle with a rep do an extra 6 reps or so. Just feel the burn then push it to the limit but know what that limit is. If you don't feel pain your muscles aren't going to strengthen. It's that simple.
I agree 100 percent...unless you work the muscle to the border of fatigue or to fatigue, all the reps in the world won't matter...and that feeling is definitely uncomfortable...but that's what strengthens the muscle fibers.
:yes: You are the resident fitness guru :icon_eek: When I do crunches I am literally moaning as I end a rep well into the set. Think I go do some right now and head off as it's 4:10 am :icon_party:
Just got back from what was voted the best fitness club in Canada. Friend just bought a membership and got me in via guest pass. Place is SICK as hell. First off few people were there because all the rich *** businessmen get their workout done at 6 am. All the pro-athletes go to this gym. Second the locker rooms were sick with kick *** showers. Clean as hell. Towels everywhere... must have used like 25 towels :lol: Ice cold spring water everywhere. Shot hoops for 45 mins hardcore style then did 15 mins biking with bikes with HDTV screens where we watched the Germany Portugal game. Did resistance training after using free weights then a variety of machines then finished off with 2500m of rowing. Facility was totally sick.
Holy **** George Clooney shot hoops on the court I was on today!!! :icon_rofl::icon_rofl::icon_rofl: "Celebrity clients: Katie Holmes, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Dennis Quaid, James Caan"
Look at this posh *** chandelier and there is one of my towel slaves bringing them downstairs :icon_rofl: Other great thing is that there was a liquid nutrition right next door so I got a kickass Acai smoothie after.
Of course it is whitey very few cocos will dish out 1375 a year to work out there. Dude... the equipment is grade A and nobody is there in the early afternoon. No lineups for machines. Open facilities. Today there were some manster lifters around when I was there and hot girls. Lots of rich people too who only hit the treadmills but who cares. All the Canadiens and Alouettes work out there.
