Now the douche that showed me years ago had them back and high. It burns your back but kind of creates a shelf. Sometimes I feel like quazi moto? I tried basically elbows down just sitting here at my desk and it feels like I can get back tighter? What does forward even mean?<br /><br />2. Squat shoes - Do I need them? I squat fairly regularly in running shoes which from of these boards equats to burning an American flag. I'm at 410-420 parallel at 190 but also only powerlifting less than 1 year.sperrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044131861846698329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-76408281550413359662012-01-05T15:07:38.733-05:002012-01-05T15:07:38.733-05:00http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/05/sports/vegans-mu...http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/05/sports/vegans-muscle-their-way-into-bodybuilding.html?_r=3<br /><br />Thoughts, Jamie?Otter Ezekielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375633663975641482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-34568605528431999162012-01-05T13:30:49.588-05:002012-01-05T13:30:49.588-05:00bump.bump.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01366976000059028965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-7673544998568652752012-01-05T08:12:25.659-05:002012-01-05T08:12:25.659-05:00Jamie,

I feel that with consistent proper training over a number of years more than that would b achievable?

People tend to get fed up with the conversa...Mike,<br /><br />People tend to get fed up with the conversation because the word "overtraining" encompasses so much, which is why people now use "overreaching" as well. <br /><br />In any case, and no offense to you, but you most definitely did not overtrain. 24-30 weeks is a paltry amount of training without a deload in comparison to people who have actually overtrained (to the point they needed many, many months or even a year or two to recover). I am unsure of how costochondritis makes you think you overtrained. Someone who has trained a week can potentially get costchondritis, especially since its causes aren't well known. <br /><br />True overtraining, as Lyle likes to refer to it as, is much more severe and EXTREMELY rare in your non-elite population. Real overtraining requires months to recover from and sometimes years. Not only that, but the people who truly overtrained trained in the vicinity of 2-6 hours a day 6-7 days a week for more than a year. <br /><br />"dicking around in the snow just isn’t the kind of physiological stress that trying to run 200km per week is. He’ll probably never see true overtraining. But I have both seen it as well as done it to myself. Here are a few exemplary case studies; read them as nothing more.<br /><br />One teammate of mine during my time spent in SLC speed skating was a chronic overtrainer; constant high-volume, high-intensity work and he wouldn’t listen to our coach to cut back. He dug himself so deep in the hole that he came back a full year later and set PR’s after nearly no training. His comment “Man was I overtrained.”"<br /><br />"But if you recover in 2 weeks, you weren’t overtrained, you were simply overreached. Think of it as overtraining light; the same types of overload that generate overreaching in the short-term eventually lead to true overtraining when continued in the long-term."<br /><br />http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/training/overtraining-overreaching-and-all-the-rest-part-1.html<br /><br />I recommend you read that and aware yourself. To say the least, this is why I agree with Jamie about deloading when you actually need it. Your body will most surely tell you when you've overreached, long, long before you overtrain. If you want to put a cool name to it then you have "cybernetic periodization," which was coined by the late great Mel Siff, writer of Supertraining.Rozin Abbashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278070389484554993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-10370171223189651312011-12-23T15:37:24.812-05:002011-12-23T15:37:24.812-05:00Not trying to stir up shit, but I've met Rippe...Not trying to stir up shit, but I've met Rippetoe a few times and even attended a seminar he held at my gym. <br /><br />Yeah, I don't completely agree with him in that you should avoid over training at all costs. I think you should definitely push yourself harder every time you're in the gym, and you need to "over train" to learn where your recovery/training threshold stand and improve upon them. <br /><br />Two things though: first, over training definitely exists, and it's good to take a deload/off week once every 10-12 weeks. I've over trained to the point where I had to be rushed to the ER with severe costochondritis (cartilage inflammation. Hilarious, I know, but it literally felt like fucking heart attack), and I only trained consistently for a period of 24-30 weeks for that program. Secondly, Ripp knows his shit when it comes to biomechanics. I actually give him credit for helping my put close to 75 lbs on my squat and 100 lbs on my deadlift in the past two months.<br /><br />Plus, the dude is hilarious. He says some of the craziest shit in person.

Apparently he has been able to visit some training halls and such:<br /><br />"The food that’s eaten is usually high protein, medium fat and loads of rice. I’m unsure why they say starch is super good for recovery but it’s somewhere along the lines of rice increases a hormone (I’m assuming insulin) and helps recovery. Insulin isn’t a Mandarin words we use often in Malaysia and I was the only English speaking person there, so it was hard to get a translation. Finally, they described it as;<br /><br />“A gate that opens only after hard training, but that gate requires rice (carbs) to open. Once it’s open, the meats (protein and fat) can enter and start the repair process with the rice giving these meats the energy to work“<br />It sounded ridiculous the first time I tried translating it directly to English in my head that I laughed for days thinking about it. I still do actually.<br /><br />But yes, the idea is to eat plenty of meats. Full good quality meats. None of those GMO shit here. And NO soya milk. Tofu yes, cuz it’s density of estrogen isn’t as high as soya milk and you can’t consume that much tofu without feeling sick. Lots of veggies and fruits. If you don’t want rice, eat more fruits. If you don’t like fruits, you’re a retard cuz fruits are awesomely sweet.<br /><br />What do I mean by a lot? No we don’t have macros, but if your plate isn’t covered in meat, go back to the canteen and get more of it. In general, about 500GMS of meat per serving should be enough to keep an athlete relatively full. Opt for more if you need to."<br /><br />This seems about in line with what our weightlifting coach in college told us (a former Chinese lifter and coach) - lots of meat and rice. They also said they use a few supplements, ginseng and I can't remember what else. Not much though, because supps are expensive. Some of the upper-level athletes get a few more, but not much. They seemed much more concerned with "train your ass off, train smart, and recover like a mother fucker."BrockLegginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18172039660033206911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-35584252281229180082011-12-23T11:10:25.882-05:002011-12-23T11:10:25.882-05:00@ Injured Deadlifter

While the hamstrings may be an issue, the pelvis position may be the "primary" issue. Or your hamstrings could actually be tight and you might be in posterior pelvic tilt (or you're a lucky individual and you have a fairly neutral pelvis position). <br /><br />Either way, it will be hard to tell you what to do unless someone actually is able to examine you or you've examined yourself.
