it's $40 a jug at Vitamin Shoppe, and the other sites offer 10% off coupons at every major forum. Apparently you don't know the prices as well as you claim you do.

i got a 5lb container on ebay for 28 after shipping once...expired like 2 years and 2 months after i got it

10/22/2008 10:49:45 PM

^ I don't want to buy in bulk. I usually have very limited funds and buy what I need as I need it.

I get a special price at VS.

10/22/2008 10:51:45 PM

bulk is a lot more economical, unless you are saying you dont even have the money to pay the price for the item period.

10/22/2008 10:52:03 PM

^ I'm saying I don't have enough money to buy in bulk, but I am well versed in consumer math.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html
$41.99 for 5lbs + shipping dude, come on....

http://www.dpsnutrition.net/get_item_on342.htm
$39.99 for 5lbs + shipping . . . .

Certainly you can get a 10% off coupon or whatever, but you still have to pay for shipping and wait for it. If you want to go buy it locally, you can get it IN STORE at Vitamin Shoppe for $38, thats all I was saying.


Yes I workout at PF.

hey can one of you all smuggle me out a 10lb plate? j/k

10/22/2008 11:00:37 PM

even if you get it for $38 a bucket with your special discount, that's not as good as the $34 a tub you can get it for at bodybuilding.com with a 10% off coupon. If your order is big enough, you can get free shipping sometimes too.

unfortunately, not everyone gets your discount at vitamin shoppe, and you still have to pay sales tax.

10/22/2008 11:02:45 PM

well she cant buy in bulk and doesnt have to wait for shipping...guess thats worth 4 bucks

10/22/2008 11:09:20 PM

Maybe this has already been answered in this thread but i dont have time to read 57 pages:

I seem to remember from health and wellness class that when you weight train, you should do the exercises that use the biggest muscles first (i.e. bench press) and then move on during your workout to exercises that use smaller muscle groups. Is that true? also how important is consistency in which machines or free weight exercises you do from workout to workout?

10/22/2008 11:34:51 PM

cf warmup, an oly bar weight only warmup

Squat cleans
push presses
High Pulls
Front squats
weighted dips
rollouts w/ a dime plate, and and the fubar reminants of a barbell.


Bench uses the "biggest" muscles first....Interesting....

Yes, do compound excersizes first. I'm not sure what you are trying to ask in the second question. But, I'd say, don't use machines.

[Edited on October 23, 2008 at 12:06 AM. Reason : n ]

10/23/2008 12:02:54 AM

^ in the second question, i meant does it matter if one day, for example i work my triceps with free weights and another day on the tricep extension machine?

i know its good to switch up exercises, but how important is consistency in your routine

10/23/2008 12:15:16 AM

today was supposed to be a rest day, but I felt fine and I ended up not having to go to work

so I did a little catch-all day

10min on treadmill
Deadlift 3x10(light weight)
10min on elliptical
standing calf raise 3x20
Rom. Deadlift 3x10(light weight)
seated calf raise 3x15

I'm assuming you are doing a whole-body workout (legs too, right? =) ).... you can and should use different machines and equipment for working the same muscle groups. Consistency, in that you repeat the same exact exercises every time, is not important and would hinder you from working the muscle from different angles. Machines in general, although convenient, are not really the best way to get a workout. Try some variety with free weights and cable exercises.

10/23/2008 7:06:19 AM

will do cheif!!

10/23/2008 8:00:17 AM

you tried to give people a price that they can't even get locally. You have to be eligible for a discount or know someone who works there.

10/23/2008 9:05:45 AM

^^ never punish yourself. Instead, run 2 miles and 'reward yourself' with a pumpkin beer. life's more fun that way



Yesterday was triceps day

warmup: 1mi run, 7:58 (that's a new record for me wooot!!!)

4 sets:
10 reps skullcrushers with barbell followed immediately by 15reps benchpress with my wrists close to focus on tris, 30lbs, 40lbs, 50lbsx2
then 12 reps skullcrushers using dumbbells 8lbs, 10lbs, 12lbsx2

i wish i knew the names of some of the workouts I did....maybe I could MSpaint them that would be easier to see for you

then I did combos of the pull down cables, a bunch of those

then I did some more cables combod with dips

then I did the tricep press thingy a bunch of times

then it was a 20minute fast walk, 4.4speed with 4.0incline

At first I thought I was like "An 8 minute mile?! That's nothing." but if you personal bests are getting faster and faster then that has to be commended. Good job.

Are skullcrushers another name for nosebreakers? i.e. You lay on your back on the bench and hold a weight over your face and do your extensions?

10/23/2008 11:22:51 AM

8min mile isn't that fast i know but for me I've never been able to do something like that. Being fat and combo that with really lazy never did well in the exercise part

when I first started running this summer, I was putting in about an 11minute mile, so that's a good 3min i've shaved off my time in a few months


skullcrushers

lay flat on your back on the bench, kick one leg up to balance yourself, grab the barbell palms facing towards your head, arms stretched out, then slowly bring the barbell to just above your head and then back up to the top. It's for triceps.....so yea maybe it's the same thing, idk. I didn't invent the word

No, I gave people a price they can get locally.... what the heck is your beef? I'm just trying to be helpful and give people good advice and your trampling all over me on whey protein prices. I'm not going to give people a price they can't get or need a special discount or friend to obtain. Vitamin Shoppe in store matches their online prices for everyone -- so for the last time, stop arguing with me over this.

10/23/2008 12:15:55 PM

10/23/2008 2:56:13 PM

^^That's a helluva a workout

10/23/2008 2:59:14 PM

My muscles don't hurt after a workout anymore. Should I add more sets, change machines more often, or be happy I don't suffer from DOMS?

10/23/2008 3:36:33 PM

switch it up, do a little different workout and ADD MORE WEIGHT

hurting doesnt mean its working, although its a good sign

do a shock week

10/23/2008 3:50:56 PM

I definitely add more weight. I'll do a shock week, ftw.

10/23/2008 4:09:24 PM

Sore muscles/DOMS =/= a sign of a good workout

10/23/2008 4:37:17 PM

walked a few miles, ran a few miles, 8 minute abs

^whats DOMS?

Is it bad to have just a triceps day?

I have a personal trainer and yesterday we worked mainly on tri's. That's totally cool and all, but a friend told me that it was retarded to do that cause it's a minor muscle group and there's no point.


The only reason I can think of is that in the limited time of training I have, we can only do so much, so we schedule chest one session and tri's the next, but we don't usually have them together.

10/23/2008 10:07:33 PM

Also,

4.67mi run, 800 calories burned. I really like hitting 800 calories on the treadmill, because that's a decent meal there so I know I've burned off something good. I try to keep myself in the fat burning zone so this usually takes me around 45-55 minutes to complete.

10/23/2008 10:08:48 PM

gym

10/23/2008 10:09:02 PM

body weight squats vs standing yoga poses -OR- repetition vs holding a strained position ?

10/23/2008 10:12:32 PM

your triceps day will also be a minor chest day, its no waste, I don't believe tris are a minor muscle group, there are 3 pretty big muscles and they'll turn out bigger than your biceps if focused...I keep my triceps only day as far away from my chest day as possible, same goes for my back and biceps days...both will work the other, so I try to maximize downtime between them

that being said, it is my triceps day today! fun fun

10/24/2008 6:38:46 AM

I'm too lazy for this....

10/24/2008 9:01:35 AM

wait i thought chest/tris and back/bis are good combos to exercise

10/24/2008 10:57:01 AM

i took a long shower to loosen all the lung pudding from the million cigarettes i smoked last night while consuming 1800 beers.

yes 1800.


i then spit the grey matter that i pulled up onto the side of the tub, where it stuck.

10/24/2008 11:00:07 AM

^^they are, but to each's own

10/24/2008 11:22:13 AM

triceps by themselves might be okay, but it depends on how much you are doing for them. If you're hitting them for 45 minutes nonstop, then you're probably just going to overtrain them. hitting them twice a week with a limited number of sets isn't a bad idea, and you're giving them a workout on chest day anyway.

10/24/2008 1:01:14 PM

i need to ask you and aaprior about routines....hate doing chest if my triceps or deltoids are sore, and squats/deadlifts fuck up my schedule sometimes too

also need to ask about the number of reps

and diet, cause i'm finding it hard to get more than like 130g of protein a day
