I superset bench press and wide-grip chinups for upper, and do stop squats followed by deadlifts for lower. I do each workout every five days about, so one week I'll do upper on Monday and Friday and lower on Wednesday, and the next week I'll do upper on Wednesday and lower on M/F. I was doing other exercises to supplement the bench press on my upper body days, but as the weight has been increasing and it has been harder and harder to squeeze the last increases out of my protocol before I plateau, I've dropped most of it for easier recovery. I think the exercises I'm currently doing pretty much hit the whole body in good proportion, and each workout has a pushing and pulling exercise that involves a concerted effort of many muscles.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Deanna, Kettlebells, baby! Do you do squats? Consider doing them to repair/strengthen your knee situation. B.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 So, do you call that the crazy kid challenge, lol? I was always very active from my teens on.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 , Ya know, I need to get off my intentions about kettlebells. Yes, I do squats; regular, one legged and plié . I do Romanian deadlifts, leg curls and extensions. I work add/abductors as well. I love walking lunges, but I am nice to my knee and don't indulge presently. I believe my knee thingy is a structural problem from my ankle mainly, and my flexibility/strength imbalance min orly. I have flexible hamstrings that aren't at the proper quad/ham strength ratio of 3:2 as they should be. Mainly, from twisting my ankles one too many times as a spastic teen who ran track and taught high impact aerobics, I have no ligaments left in my left ankle (okay, exaggeration, but my pinky toe REALLY doesn't have any left, I can make it point 90 degrees laterally from anatomical neutral). Of course, I must also have minor cartilage wear as well, but I don't think it is indicative of a cruciate ligament problem. Most likely, it is the result of pronating the one foot and the medial tendency my whole leg takes because of it. Yoga has really helped, as the stabilizer muscles of the foot are thought of and strengthened because of barefootedness. One legged balance poses in particular force me to work on lifting that one arch. Running exasperates it, as I am not so controlled structurally. I could have it looked at, and I will if it gets bad. I guess it just isn't yet. And if I can diligently work on it, it won't get that way! Deanna Blazey wrote: > Deanna, > Kettlebells, baby! > > Do you do squats?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 and all, What do you know about strength and diet? I am finding a lowered carbohydrate Paleo-style diet *seems* to keep me more naturally fit. How to explain? I find that avoiding grains and beans mostly and eating on average 75 grams or less carbs a day helps me maintain strength and desirable body mass proportions without the all out effort I used to have to exert. For instance, I worked legs yesterday for the first time in weeks and just don't feel the dos (delayed onset soreness) I used to get, especially with legs . And why do I maintain muscularity without trying very hard? As a vegetarian a year ago, it was a big struggle. I am pushing forty, btw, so it may not last, lol. Of course, too low an intake of carbs makes it tough to lift at all. I know many of you tweak your diet along with your workouts. What have you experienced? Thanks for the tips, Deanna ChrisMasterjohn@... wrote: > In a message dated 11/29/04 9:52:40 AM Eastern Standard Time, > hl@... > writes: > > > For strength trainers (weight lifters), what kind of schedule and > > frequency do you maintain?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Deannna, The one-legged squat is very impressive! You seem very knowledgeable about excercise physiology already; I would, however, abandon the leg curls and extensions--and any other machines--and focus on a squat program. Were you asking me, that is. The reason I'm enthusiastic about kettlebells is because I work with them barefoot. Live aggressively! Com.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Don't have time to come all the way to San Diego for a competition....I'm less into competition per se than improving my own performances and conditioning, though I don't rule it out in the future. Dmitri will certainly have more competitions here in S.F, and he will surely berate me if I don't compete, which is no small motivation In one capacity, though, I might certainly qualify as a Master of Sport. I have a small apartment, and a total of 9 kettlebells, so in terms of kettlebell volume per unit space, I'm sure I score very highly! -------------- Original message -------------- > > Competition in San Diego this Saturday 4 Dec--where you at, comrade? > Oh, SF, right?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I've been falling apart since my teens...LOL I developed very bad knee problems that left me unable to walk some days. And then in my early 20's I developed something that acted like chronic fatigue. Getting away from doctors and learning to take care of my own health has improved that... that is why I am so adamant in how we live! (A little bit fanatic some days, huh? LOL) Unless they are allergic to the chemicals they are hiking in! Heeheehee! I really need to move to someplace that is friendly outside...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 > Re: Winter Workouts > > > >yet another thread degades into a butt conversation.... ah well butt...butt...butt you should be used to it by now. This list has a butt fetish. We could be discussing, I dunno, computer programming, and somehow it would devolve into a butt thread. I think the NT diet probably increases libido, which is why this is the only nutrition list I'm on (besides the chapter leader list) that talks about sex fairly regularly. butta butta bing!

Deanna http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/17/health/17cnd-run.html And there was the gluteus maximus, the muscle of the buttocks. Earlier human ancestors, like chimpanzees today, had pelvises that could support only a modest gluteus maximus, nothing like the strong buttocks of Homo. " Have you ever looked at an ape? " Dr. Bramble said. " They have no buns. " Dr. Lieberman, a paleontologist, explained: " Your gluteus maximus stabilizes your trunk as you lean forward in a run. A run is like a controlled fall, and the buttocks help to control it. " The two scientists speculated in the article and in interviews that running by early human ancestors was more than simply a natural step, so to speak, beyond upright walking. These apelike ancestors, the scientists noted, were walking almost three million years before they became runners and began to assume more modern physiques.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I do some yoga and lots of brisks walks in the crisp air! I want to start taking more yoga classes as soon as I graduate and actually have some kind of income. I notice that whenever I gain any weight, it goes straight into the saddlebags on my thighs....even if it is just a healthy amount of weight. Is it true that spot training like squats and such won't necessarily decrease fat in a particular area? How do you all deal with trimming down certain areas like the thighs?
