sick

Hm, maybe it's a chicken/egg thing. I reach more naturally with my left hand, even though I'm right handed, because my left shoulder is higher than my right because (presumably) of years of throwing.

right but i've done single arm db bench, standing 1 arm db bench etc, way back, many times.. never had a discrepancy this big.. and i'm left handed.. hehe.

@adarq: This is gonna sound like whining, but there was literally no space to do ME jumps until like 8:15, IOW until I was over an hour into the workout and had done my squats and everything. ME would have been, ahem, weak. I can usually get there either early or late, but yesterday the timing just sucked.

So, you might call that stupid, but it wasn't the stupid thing I was talking about.

definitely not taken as whining.. sucks when we can't get our jumps in.

Well my mom and dad always keep on throwing this "eggs cause liver problems" at me all the time it's getting really annoying.

Probably if you're eating like 20/day.

Aren't you like 25?

lol..

Yes I am but what I meant is that I grew up with that being repeated in my ear again and again. What does a virus has to do with eggs - I have no idea.

Probably what they mean is that many eggs are "hard" for the liver to "digest" if you will.

who cares what they meant, eggs are digested just fine and are very healthy for you .. heh!

a better way to look at this is, what do you like eating? what can you easily obtain, to eat? For example, if I was planning on putting on a ton of muscle, I would focus on things I enjoy eating: eggs, milk, meat (steak/hamburger), chicken , broccoli/carrots/spinach/olive oil, kidney beans, bananas, cottage cheese, and a supplement: whey protein (for shakes).. My diet would then pretty much only consist of that, with 1 cheat day per week.

That's what my diet looks like at the moment, minus the milk and bananas, and i am cutting weight just now lol

Dude, i eat 35+ eggs a week and i am fine. Eggs are good, and if you want to build shit tons of muscle eat plenty of them. You cant go wrong with eggs, meat, chicken, green vegies, nuts and fruit.

nice & I agree.

Thanks on welcome, yes i do , i was last time in june, since i lost my weight i wasnt going much, because while i was going to the gym i stoped with growing, donno how but while i was at the gym (6 months) havent growed not a single cm, and from june till now i got 1-1.5cm more so i concluded i shouldnt go to the gym for lil bit more.

well, to be honest, the weight training you did, at your age, shouldn't have had any effect on your growth.. as long as you aren't lifting 100% maximally, it wouldn't cause you to run that risk.. in fact, you get more of a hGH response by utilizing weight training than if you had not.. probably just a weird coincidence.

if you're not going to lift, you need to go hard on some bodyweight exercises and try to get really strong there.. lunges, glute bridges, calf raises, all kinds of stuff for the hamstrings, eventually phasing in drops/plyo stuff etc..

i need to write a bodyweight variation of the intro block so, when that's done it might help.. need to do that tomorrow if I'm not too busy.

for more in depth training info/critique check out the free coaching link in the menu bar, or the start here link, etc.. Journaling is important.

peace man

- S1: standing 1-arm db ohp: 30lb @ left=10,right=15, left=12,right=16, left=8,right=17, left=9,right=18, left=9,rigth=17, .... 40 lb @ left=0,right=5(could do more)

Haha that's insane man! I'm sure my right leg is muscularly stronger than my left at the moment (It's definitely larger) due to the severe sprain I had in March. But I always keep reps equal between limbs.

ya i'm for keeping the reps the same also (limited to the weaker limb), but, i don't listen to my own advice

9 rep difference between my left & right arm is pretty huge.. haha..

bw = 151
soreness = hamstrings very little
aches/injuries = feel good
fatigue = high mentally, but, from lack of sleep, got 6 hours, took until 9am to fall asleep, sucked..

diet for 2 previous days, forgot to log: 4 protein shakes + turkey & cheese sandwhich or 3 egg sandwhich
diet for today:  4 protein shakes, half chocolate bar, cheeseburger on wheat bread, raw ramen noodles (WOW WTF AWESOME), turkey & cheese sandwhich

workout: reactive + unilateral upper
- reactive work was relaxed, lots of pop on pogos
- tuck: warmups, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 12,
- pogos: 5
- tuck: 40, 40
- pogos: 5, 5, 5,

- S1: standing 1-arm db ohp: 30lb @ left=10,right=15, left=12,right=16, left=8,right=17, left=9,right=18, left=9,rigth=17, .... 40 lb @ left=0,right=5(could do more)
- S1: standing 1-arm db curl: 30 lb @ 10, 11, 12, 11, ..... 40 lb @ 3

- plate press: 10
- pullups: 8, 8,
- pushups: 40 (recent PR), 35, 30



so, weirdly enough, my legs felt great today, hardly any soreness, felt powerful.. hopefully major DOMS doesn't kick in tomorrow, also hope I can jump tomorrow.

check out how weak my left arm is vs my right arm on standing 1-arm ohp, I would bet that has to do with all of the jumping I do where I reach up with my right arm to dunk or get touch height.. interesting, so much weaker.
