i think he means "should not"

 

[BenZ_80]

Yes and the CNS is still sleepy too.

That's why I don't heavy squats on mornings.

And I find that I do best on squats on late afternoons - after a post-heavy lunch nap.

 

[ROCKET LAUNCHER]

As I mentioned earlier, the spine is still "asleep" 1-2 hours after waking. That's why one should do exercises which would involve the lower back very soon after rising.

does this apply to running/sprinting as well?

its a habit of mine to finish cardio in the morning before the sun comes out =/

Unless you sleep standing up (and are therefore f*cking awesome), your spine is decompressed after waking. It takes an hour or two for your spine to compress back down to normal.

Personally, like Benz, I can't do anything that intense less than 2 hours after waking up and eating something. My body can jog, walk, even sprint, but I just can't lift heavy sh*t.

 

[FroztSpectre]

Ah thanks for the tip.

Squatting heavy in the morning always give me pain near the butt area =( Sucks soooo much.

 

[BenZ_80]

If you really no choice have to train very soon after waking, you can hasten the decompression process by just hanging from a chinning bar for a few sets.

on a good week i'm only running 2x. other than that i stick to only once a week which lasts no more than 20mins

the only reason for cardio is to bring up 2.4km wouldn't bother too much with it otherwise

 

[BenZ_80]

Your cardio is what?

 

[ROCKET LAUNCHER]

intervals. 15s on 15s off

u'r aiming for gold or something? if not ditch all the cardio then...i believe even without running, by doing weights-only, getting silver 2.4 shd not be an issue for your current status.

struggling just to get silver. srsly. i'll be satisfied to run 12:00 on a consistent basis.

i have a chronic issue with stitches. happens every single time. doesn't matter that i'm hydrated, have my muscles stretched and generally warmed up, it always comes

went to the doc and he told me it varies from individual to individual, so nothing much for me to do about it

ah ic...well for stitches, maybe due to water intake abt 15 mins before u run?
if i drink anything 15 mins before my jog/run, i'll get stitches.

 

[ROCKET LAUNCHER]

thats the funny part. i've chugged down water right before running and i had no stitches come at all.

that lasted for a month or so, and then situation returned to normal

my body is nuts i swear

Nice curls. Do you bother doing low rep with curls regularly? Or is it a just-feel-like-doing-so-do-it kind of thing?

Thanks, still trying to get my 14"-14.5" biceps and curl like 20kg for 8-10 reps :S

It's more of a just-feel-like-doing-it-so-do-it kind of thing.

If i have time in the gym, eg friends not rushing off and leaving me alone in the gym, i'll do extra curls and pullups before leaving the gym.
