Creatine, Modified pushups, Yoga
    #25517065 -

I've never considered any supplements in all these years of being in or trying to get in shape.
Specifically creatine, as it's something that clearly helps with stamina, but seems like it's more for vanity than actual strength.

For the last few months, I've gotten completely away from weights and have gotten back into body weight exercises. Really love modified push ups. Wide, clap to Diamond, clap to Wide in front of you, clap to diamond underneath the chest.
Results are pretty great actually along with dips.

But need some new things to incorporate.

Yoga has been super beneficial, and I love the flexibility, but it doesn't make me feel strong in the way I like. Probably the unhealthy way is the way I like to feel where I can't bring my arms together for the rest of the day.

Any thoughts?

By the way, I'm currently stacking 20 grams of creatine for 5 days straight, and then tapering down to 4.2grams a day.

Last time I did this, not too long ago. I ended up going on vacation on the 2nd day and all that water in my muscles ended somewhere else :lol:

Creatine is fucking amazing. Wanna get stronger? Take some. It's the monohydrate that causes 'bloat' and so may be confused with vanity - the newer forms won't make you look bigger, just stronger.

Incorporate more resistance training if you want to make things you pick up feel lighter. Ensure that you always do more reps or more weight the next time you do the same exercise.

That's all there is to it.

That's awesome advice. Thank you!
The first two days I took it while working out hard, the results were so impressive off the bat. Obviously lost that due to not keeping up with my routine.

I'm currently taking the Met-RX 4200 caps. Went by Amazon reviews, but a lot of the bodybuilding forums I checked out had good things to say about it as well.

I hit plateaus fairly easily in strength, especially in the past where it feels like no matter how much work I put in with body weight, it's not enough, and I don't want to go back to free weights, at least for now.

Main thing I have to do is work on lower body as hiking and skiing is great, but it's not an every day activity.

Oh, and as far as increasing resistance, reps, weight, etc.

I've been just doing suicide sets of whatever I do for a while now. I have trouble keeping track of numbers while working out, so I just always go until I'm face first on the floor and can't lift myself up anymore.

Has worked relatively well so far I think.

There'll come a point where you need to keep track, mayaswell start now! This is how I do:



Going to failure will work for a time, but you'd be surprised the extra reps you can get out when you're going for a goal.

Thank you again. I'm going to print your schedule out for reference, if you don't mind.

Lower body work has never been something I don't look forward to, I just don't have any gyms in the area with available machines.

In time, I think I need to invest.

I do remember in my early 20's while working out with a group of close friends, we would push each other a bit past our limits simply through comparison and motivation. And you're right, just knowing the number and what needs to improve made a big difference at that time.

Currently trying to figure something out where I can get my 90lb girl into it with me without exerting herself to injury. Need to find something that works well for both of us at least 2 times a week.

Sorry for spamming the thread, but what's your take on glucose containing beverages to be consumed with the creatine?

I've been doing it for the sake of the directions on the bottle, but what is the science behind it?

I bought a €20 pull-up bar and installed that in the kitchen

I do a series every morning and throughout the day when I happen into the kitchen

It transformed my back :thumbup:

Yea, right on.
I got that little door frame pull up bar as well. Perfect pull-up I believe it's called.

I've ruined a couple door frames in the past couple years, but that piece of equipment is amazing for anyone without access to a pull up bar.

Good tip man.

Yea, that's the one weight I've been heavily considered.

I've just hurt myself a few times in the past with free weights, and building up slowly.
But using the kettles for lower body is great. May head out and grab one today.

30 lbs, maybe?.. Maybe 40 or more actually if I do well with 2x20lb free. :shrug:

I took a couple kettlebell courses

The guys there said a healthy male should start with 24 kgs

It will feel like a ridiculous amount of weight at first, but thats the whole idea.

My favorite exercises are the swing and Turkish getup.

Look into the Tabata system. I always swing for one full Tabata. In the past I have worked my swing up to 40kgs but I went too fast and my wrist couldn't handle the strain. Im actually back at 24 now and slowly working towards 32kg again

24kg is around 40lb I believe.
It's what I've been considering.

Luckily I have a good friend that went to college for sports science, so he's been helping me out quite a bit with technique in everything I've done in the past 3 years.

Yeah... try doing squats with a broke foot. Or lunges or even pushups for that matter. Let me add. I got no pain pills so my shit hurt for at least 6 weeks.

Cross your hurt foot over your good foot, and do your push ups off of your good foot.

I had to do the same shit when I fucked up my foot last ski season.

No  need for narcotic painkillers. naproxen sodium does wonders for me.
