he can, dude went to do cardio after we finished lifting, old man was flying on that tread mill.

 

Was curious about rack pulls so I went and did some digging...DAT ASS

 

Hmm, it's always amazing to see chicks with low BF and still maintan da booty,

 

Don't gotta be fat to have an ass, then you become a fat ass...

 

You rang?


That's like my bat-signal

 

Well time for me to find a new gym. Planet fitness only has up to 75lb dumbbells and today i maxed it out. personal best for me. benched 75s 6 times at the end of my chest workout. Never even tried them till today.

 

What are your guys' tips on some more interval type training or rather cardio training that is not just regular running? I have been running 2-3 miles (7.5 mile pace) every day except for my rest day for about 12 weeks. I am about a week out from my 2nd 6 week program, so I usually like to switch up my workouts every 6 weeks so I don't plateau. (and get bored)

Jump ropes, steps, etc?

Work your way up to 20 reps!

Bet you can't do it! : P

 

Biking, rowing, burpee's, tabata workouts for endurance/cardio training etc

 

What do you do all the running for? Training for a race?

 

No, just general health. That is why I am looking to switch it up. I get very bored of running and would like to do some different cardio work.

I biked a good bit maybe a month or two ago but I don't really have the bike for it so 5 miles was usually all I did, which barely gets you anything worthwhile on a bike.

One of the gyms I go to has a great stationary bike, when I bike I usually go for a good 16-17 miles on a long day, warm up's usually 6-7 miles.

 

rowing is a good workout but its boring as hell lol

 

Change things up with Interval cardio

800m sprint, 20 burpees, 3minute rest
400m sprint, 30 burpees 3 min rest

100 m sprint, 10 burpees, 1 min rest x 4

Stairs

 

Jump ropes is best for short time high intensity, steps are good too depends how fast, i think the worse is to jog or to do plyometrics when you try to maintain muscle.

 

i think i'm going to have to get back on a caffiene+creatine complex for the morning workouts.....running 5 miles in 90*+ heat is killing my energy for the next morning's workout. i've taken it before and liked it, felt like i had more energy and better lifts, but my weight shot up like 10lbs (probably water weight). i would probably just take it on lifting days (MWF) and stay off it on running days.
any thoughts? positives/negatives?

Run in the evenings or run earlier. Running in 90* has gotta be torture!
