Used to do Olympic Lifting in school what seems like a lifetime ago and wanted to see how it feels. It was absolutely awful. No more wrist or shoulder flexibility though I dropped straight in the hole easily. Felt like a million pounds. Might add in Kettlebell conditioning to help my shoulder.

We need an intervention brah. You’ve gone to crossfit and I’ve gone to bodybuilding. Oh no!

Hey, I saw your log and thought I would add my 2 cents. I have recently began running quite a bit and despite a terrible diet have actually managed to get a bit leaner. I know everyone hates to run and will advise you against it but I have been doing this for 6 weeks, running as much as 11 miles during a long session, and have seen my lift numbers go up across the board. It looks to me like you are having a hard time sticking to a set diet. I can relate. Since I am so busy with school it is hard to eat anything but fast food. I know that you can never truly out train a bad diet, but the extra caloric expenditure will perhaps accout for some of it.

Good luck

InFlames: Thanks for the advice. Yeah, it wouldn’t hurt to increase my caloric expenditure a bit. When it comes to diet I’m either “all” or “nothing” and it’s been pretty much “nothing”.

Stop this running nonsense now! Running 11 miles on The Road to Puny is not the course of action you should be taking (or 12 minutes for that matter). Unless you want to be Marathon Runner Huge!

Haha. I don’t want to jack his thread… but I will say one thing. I run alot and still weigh 215.

Don’t be mad because you are the guy in the middle of that picture I posted.

Before you get offended, Ryuubane and I work together and the whole running thing (along with any other nonsense I post on his thread) is just one of many inside jokes that we have.
