yup, clicking and dragging worked. not intuitive though.

ok cool least it worked.. ya maybe ill just put a regular scrollbar and get rid of iscroll.. just need to do custom scrollbars because i hate the default ones.. never did that, dont even know if it's 100% possible.

pC

The drag menu thing would have been cool on a touch screen, i guess.

what if we got rid of the menu as a whole and keep the forum style navigation you had in the old forum ..  :ninja: ... maybe.

how about a drop down menu like in windows explorer, file, but it says menu, click on it, a list of all the topics and then you hover mouse over one topic i.e. progress and journals which has an arrow next to it and that will display another menu to the right with the list of all the threads in order of most new to most old like in the forum and click on that to direct to it. we want an internet style look to it and not a windows explorer look to it.
if you get what i mean.

i will try and create an example if possible.

edit: i found something a bit like what i was talking about, looks nice but you can adjust to suit this site.  :headbang:

but in those options you can expand to sub-options and have whatever colour you like for new and old posts)

Hi

Thanks for your help.

I'm going to have to change the schedule you outlined for me. Because on friday i am packed till 6pm so will have to make that rest day.

This is what i have. Lower intensity before track training.

monday: weight training ( lower intensity )
tuesay: club training
wednesday: rest
thursday:  club training
friday:  rest
saturday: tempo work + weight training ( moderate intensity )
sunday: speed endurance + tempo (hill sprints, large reps of short distance sprints) only if i am not sore from yesterday

Couldn't even last a week without changing it could you lol. Seriously though, you can't just go to the gym after 6PM? Seems crazy to change your whole schedule just because you're busy on one day.

If you have to change it just do it on Saturday, and leave the rest as it was. You want to be fresh for your Tuesday track session, you don't want to have three straight days of exercise beforehand.

Another thing on intensity, I should have noted that you want to eventually have some high intensity lifting sessions. As a sprinter, you need to move a lot of weight quickly, so weight training should be more low rep heavier weight range eventually. Eventually though, not now - once you've been doing weights for a few months and your times are starting to plateau, then you could throw in a few weeks of high intensity stuff.

don't want too much rest days.
what do you think?

thanks

Yes you do. One thing you need to drill into your head is that right now you are still a beginner/novice level sprinter. If you do the track sessions, get stronger in the key lifts (squat, DL, calf raise variant, chins, dips, bench etc), rest and recover well, and eat right, you can make a lot of gains right now. You don't need to do much more at the moment.

But above all else, please stop the over-analysing of every training plan you make. Have you actually done much over the last few months apart from constantly making and changing training plans? It's more important to just get out there and train, and adapt as you go. Don't obsess over all the fine details.

Hi

Thanks for the tip, i was wondering when i was going to get in the high intensity stuff, but now you have told me.

Yes, i just went to the gym testing my max rep and i am sore as hell, so i am def going to remove the monday workout. i thought since it is low intensity, it shouldn't be sore.

no i can't do gym after 6pm, it will be too late. Also i have to walk 20 min to gym and 20 min back.

I will try and do this

monday: rest
tuesay: club training
wednesday: rest
thursday:  club training
friday:  weight training ( lower intensity )
saturday: rest
sunday: tempo work + weight training ( moderate intensity )

ok i can't start this week as i am sore, but i can do the friday you posted, if i wake up at 6:30, get ready, leave at 7:30, get to gym at 8 am, do my workout until 9:40 go to uni start my lecture at 10am and uni finishes at 6pm, if it was summer i would have been able to do it at 6pm.

i am currently doing pull ups, which is difficult for me as they utilize wide grip, i was able to only reach at 6 reps, which is bad, should i do chin ups as well.
or is pull ups and dips enough.

thanks

I can see the scroll bars, menu at the side but like i am also on the fence about it. There's something about it, i.e. the menu is too short people can't read it.

How about, i have an idea, i don't know whether it will work or not.

Can you make the menu width larger to see the whole writing, bare with me, but also have a arrow looking button which can open and close the menu so it don't get in the way and, yes i have more, make those different menus be expandable e.g. click on the arrow next to Boxing, this would create a small list underneath with new posts made on that forum or can just click on the name to direct to that subject.
keep the color for new posts made.

what do you think?
the one thing that i can't seem to like it is the size of the menu width, can't read.
that scroll bar at the side of the options menu tricks me into clicking and dragging that down which causes the menu to move up lol.

its taking shape

peace

with a dead end job and simple life

well, just make sure you're also hellbent on improving some kind of skill/knowledge that will get you a better job/career.. nothing worse than taking all of that anger/aggression and focusing it entirely on training.. training most likely isn't going to be our future.. sure it's one of the best tools to help with our situations, but nothing is more important than knowledge.. knowledge will take us further than any form of training/exercise will.. i mean you can even combine training with a quest for knowledge on everything related to anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, etc... then look to get into s&c coaching etcetc... i mean i'd advise focusing on TECH (big money jobs as you progress, relaxed atmosphere, excellent benefits etc), but obviously most people aren't going to want to become programmers/administrators etc.

+1 Def agree with that one, training is like a tool as well like a hobby but not as a future.
Programming all the way  :headbang: as well as engineering, science and other cool stuff.

Hi

I just went to the gym i was going to do the squats but i wanted a spotter, the spotter guy said feet pointing forward, when i have it point slightly outwards and slightly bigger than shoulder width, very slightly.
He says not lean forward when going down, but bend your knees instead and also look up and stick chest out, and shoulders back, that didn't help when sticking my chest out my back almost collapsed inwards because of the weight.

your "spotter" gave you typical gymbro advice..

"don't lead forward + look up + bend at the knees" = lmao.

lol lmfao

Quote

The only thing you had to do, based on your form video, was "inflate" your chest by taking in a deep breath. Your torso angle + chest was fine.. Feet + head position was fine. Looking up is a horrible cue to give somebody. That's oldschool highschool weightroom lore, when in fact looking up can result in injury due to hyperextension of the lumbar or cervical spine.. Looking down at an angle = neutral.

Did you ever see these people squat? No idea if you have or not, but most of these people who give out squat advice have horrendous form.

I saw them squat and their abdomen was dissapearing behind their thighs kind of like  :ibsquatting: but since their leg was bit closer and pointing their toes forward bending knee forward instead of outward, stomach was close to their thighs.

I was trying my way but trying hard to keep chest up and i wanted  a spotter and that was the guy who commented.

Just do it your way next time and tell your spotter "this is the way I was coached".

lol, yeah i will tell them that next time

As for the RDL i saw that you bend slightly over as well as bring your butt back by bending knees and keep back straight and go down and up but another guy in the gym said that's not right even though i didn't feel any pain on my back, he said feet close together, stick butt out when going down, when i try that the ball rubs against my shins and knee don't like that.

he was telling you to do an extremely narrow stance RDL? different exercise..


that's what i was thinking whether he was thinking i was doing another exercise

I can't record myself, as i only have mobile phone to record me and i don't know who is going to hold it as only members only in the gym.

The process i go through is feet apart slightly more than shoulder width, feet point slightly outwards. go down by bringing but slightly back and down. Then go up but also concentrate on keep chest in front, sometimes it dropped sometimes it was ok.

RDL, when i go down, i stick but back, lean over, bend knees, keep back straight and locked. go down and go up no problem of rubbing.

well, imo, to 'lower youself', it's all from pushing your hips back.. so 'lean over' can be misinterpreted.. you don't want to be actively leaning over, instead you want to lean entirely due to pushing your hips back.

I will try what you said, do i have to keep my chest up, or would that cause hyperextension

When i have weight on my back i can't seem to get my chest high like they do in the army, because that way either the bar tries to roll off, or my back is arched and will start to collapse under the weight.

are they right? or am i right but just need to fix my chest up.

they sound way off..

Be careful of who you listen to in a gym. Seems like these guys wrecked your whole workout.

Honestly, these adviceBros in various gyms are almost like 'child predators'. They are always trying to take younger people under their "Wing" and "guide them" to who knows what.

CNS Fatigue: 7/10 (if this is referring to mental fatigue)

Warmup
 - Activation and mobility drills

Workout
 -1 x 3 x 150m (walk 150m back for rest)

Cool Down
 - Stretches

PR's: none

Comment: Went to gym first time ever, to see my max rep for squats, RDL, calf raises, dips, pull ups.

Squats: 5 x 40kg ( i could probably just be able to get 3 reps for 50kg but my form might have been not that good)
RDL: 5 x 50kg (i could do more, but someone interrupted me)
Calf Raises: 5 x 30kg (i didn't a good test on this one)

Pull ups: 6 (it was wide bar so was hard)
Dips: 16 (easier then pull ups)

Comment contd: I was about to squat 50kg but asked for a spotter, who said that i was doing it wrong i was leaning forward, he said i should keep my feet shoulder width pointing forward and said don't stick butt out but bend you knees and go down, it didn't feel right also he said stick shoulder back chest out which i tried nearly hyperextended my back and felt the weight nearly pushed my back way in because my back is arched. When i was RDL another guy said stick butt out and look forward and go down, that was hurting my back i was doing it where i keep my back straight lean over bending my knees with my butt going back as well and then back up i didn't curve my back.

Soreness: Hams, quads, glutes a little, a little lower back

eventually i'm going to program some journal template popup thing, which will allow everyone to log their journals into the popup, which will embed into the journal post, which also means it will save data for that date, so we can generate graphs/see progress history etc..

that'll be some bigtime cool sh*t.

A journal template, with a pop up which you just fill in the required fields is an even awesome idea and then generate a graph to show progress as well  :wowthatwasnutswtf:
that is the real sh*t right there i was hoping for

I didn't mean it was breaking, i mean it looks like as everything is colour white, the light blue colour is very light and looks white it looks all the colour is gone, and we are left with what ever is text or icons or buttons all colors look gone, but i can see some very light blue.

I think i understand, the comment i think lance made just lift and run.

Lift to gain strength and Run to gain endurance.

Hi

Thanks for the advice, i can't seem to get a proper grip on how one should train for speed, so therefore the questions.

I did realize it was tempo and endurance.

I have a template from acole and i can vary from that with my free time i get if i can i can add some hill work combine with 100-200m running long rests between reps.
Try to improve by reducing recovery time or my running time.

So i don't really need any rest days unless i am feeling sore.
Most of my free times are used for uni work, that's why i plan the things i have to do any free time i have i study, well i will try and study

and will also incorporate what you said, as i can see most of the time i should be running a lot, as the power will come from the weights the running will help my endurance.

Thanks
