Yea muscle fortress makes it.

 

Anybody know of clean off the shelf granola bars? No problem finding ones that have whole oats and all that, but it seems like they are all formed with sugar/high fructose/or molasses... Anyone have something better that they munch on?

 

Aaaarggghhh. Had two questionable moles removed on my neck and arm. No gym for the past four days. Is it bad gym ettiquette to go to the gym w/ a large bandaid on my neck and one on my arm??

 

What do you guys to keep your shins from bleeding and getting torn up? Got up to 245lbs today!

 

Why? You dragging on dead lifts or cleans or something?

Just keep the bar 2" away. I hit my shins once being lazy AFTER a power clean. It sucked.

 

Sorry should've said it happens dead lifting lol

 

I've been in the gym covered in blood after battle with the britians from fighting side by side with my fellow celts before.

just wipe the bench after

 

real question is why are your shins getting so tore up deadlifting? the bar should not be making contact on your legs...

but fuck it, chicks dig scars... bleed away

 

well if youtube says so then it must be true...

i didn't once see the bar contact her shins while she was in motion

however, i was not as specific as i should have been. when in the "up" position, the bar contacting your quads is fine... however the bar should not be making contact with one's shins during the movement, especially to the point causing scratches and bleeding...

 

Idk I always make contact with my shins I dunno dude I guess I don't have the form you do

 

all good man, and no i don't have FB. dude does seem to know his stuff... different ways to do things i guess

 

I wonder who the chick is?

 

Work on your form. You really shouldn't be dragging on your shins. Close, maybe a bump once in a while but not like your saying is happening.

 

I just got back from a kick boxing class. The dumbass I was sharing a bag with kick the bag mid rotation sending it swinging and I impacted the bag with my toes instead of my shin.

Bent my big toe nail and it freaking hurts. It's not a massive bend where I'll have to loose the nail, just big enough to be very annoying when putting pressure on it.

That comes to my next note, is it too much stress on the body to lift then do an H.I.I.T. cardio such as Kick boxing? I tried doing cardio then lifting, but I found I never had enough energy to get a good lift in, but I feel I can do lifting then cardio, its just that I'm at the gym for closer to 2 hours instead of the usual one, or should I alternate cardio days and lifting days?

 

It's just one spot I hit. Not the length of my shin

 

I have been out of the gym since wednesday, i broke out with a fever thursday, ended up in the hospital by saturday, and just broke my fever at lunch today. im exhausted, but i have had plenty of recovery time so im gonna be ready when i get back in next week.
