Best book on Lifting

Quote from nitro:

Only half hour of cardio, and half hour of lifting. I burned a shade over 200 calos on the treadmill. As for the lifting, I tried to concentrate more on one part of the body, half on the machines, and then the end to failure on dumbbells. My arms and upper body is shaking...

Forwards, I am going to try to alternate stairs and treadmill for cardio as well as move towards the dead-weights.

180 ish...

I am still going to push perfect form on the rowing machine. Try it once, and make sure you sprint for 3-5 min. If you dont agree then I will shut up about it.

It is not that I disagree, it is that soon if I follow everyone's advice I will be like a chicken with my head cut off going in ten different directions.

You do cardio 6x per week. What is one time on the rowing machine. Once, just once. How much of your cardio uses you back?

Anyway the reason I harp is there are very few upper body cardio options that let you hit your VO2 max besides rowing, swimming, and push-ups mountain climbers, but even then you are using 50% legs.

Lescor probably has some options. Those cross-fit folk are a different breed.

Ah, I see what you are saying. Ok I will do one day on the rowing machine.

Decent workout. Burned 465 calos, all treadmill. Felt heavy from the beginning. Strange why this has been happening lately. I have a theory that as the weather cools, it gets harder to get going? In any event, the number of people at the gym has dropped dramatically. Another theory is summer vacation ends...

I have been eating cantalope like a madman. I love that fruit. I saw this book at Borders, and I found it interesting reading:

I found the section on nutrition fantastically interesting.


No lifting as it is Thursday. 180 ish, but this time it read closer to 181.

I love fruit, but it serves no purpose in the human diet. Fructose is evil. Fiber sources and vitamin C are everywhere. Eat more fat-free refried black beans. BBs are a superfood.

Add a little black rice to those black beans (but not too much rice it's high in calories)

He's right though black beans are very nutritious.

I wouldn't worry about the fructose in cantaloupe, your getting a LOT more glycation from heavily processed food and cooked meats.

I think that might be something of an overstatement. Consider blueberries, for example. My limited understanding is that fruit has a place in a healthy, balanced diet.

As superfoods go, would you include ground flaxseed, for its lignans, high omega-3 content and fiber?

1 tbsp of grapeseed on an iron skillet. 2 tbsp of black beans. Fry tortilla for ten minutes on med heat, lowering heat with time. Add hot sauce, salt, pepper. 200 cals.
