Check out Charles Poliquin's work on "Structural Balance". Soft tissue work might be helpful as well, such as Active Release Technique.Originally Posted by LuigiTheKing
Trying to recover from patellar tendonitis so stopped my lifting routine for a bit and got back into boxing, re-tweaked my rotator cuff from an injury about a year ago.
Pretty much can't do any exercises at this point just hoping my shoulder will be fine in about a weak to do boxing.
So discouraging constantly getting injuries from $$%@

What's up with early morning workouts? I'm talking like 5 AM. Any experience with this...tips, pros/cons? I've been working late and by the time I get home, either I'm not too tired, or the gym is extra packed. I'm just worried if I workout before work, I'm gonna feel like crap the rest of the day

I was looking at that funny too cause I'm in the gym no less than an hour and a half. Two hours at the most. Stretching, jump rope cardio warmup (5 reps of 200), lifting, 20-25min elliptical, then Sauna. I only go 3 days per week though. Trying to increase that to 4-5 days but it's tough cause I'm on 3rd shift and work out right after work at 6am....

Atleast support this dull statement.
I've never been an advocator of 2 hr gym sessions (that is...if you're strictly weightlifting).
If you stretch for 15 mins before. Lift free weights for an hour then cool down with a run then 1.5 or 2 hr workout seems okay.
If guys are lifting heavy and intense you should be wiped out within 60 minutes. Then again, this is just my preference.
If you have enough energy to lift for 2 hrs then you aren't lifting heavy enough...or maybe you're one of those guys that take 10 minute rests

If you are going just to lift, you should barely be stretching 5 minutes before a work out.
Anyway, i'm usually in the gym for about 70 minutes or so and I feel real content with that.

Pros/Cons of hitting the steam room right after the workout? All answers welcome.

Like others said, "less than 45 mins" is such an ignorant statement. Your time in the gym depends on your goals for the workout, goals for the cycle you're in, skill in the lifts, etc. WhileI typically stay in the gym no more than 60 mins, I was there for at least 90 today working on O-lifts. 15 minute movement prep, 15 minute warmup, 15 minutes technique/skill transfer exercises, 25 minutes working up to a 1RM clean, 15 minutes of snatches. And most of the "workout" time is rest between sets or missed lifts.

repost Question about shoulder exercises?
ive seen people do this dumbell front raise with the dumbell held sideways only. I've been doing the movement like a dumbell curl where you turn the dumbell sideways as you go
up. Is there much difference in both methods?

2 hours? Buggin'
I'm with Zzz...I don't sit/walk around/chat/stare at myself in the mirror in the gym. I get my 5 minute warm up in and I fly through my workouts. It's about intensity and not duration. I'm never in a gym longer than one hour and see exactly the results I look for.

Okay then, that works for you then. But for dude to say it's "wrong" shut the hell up.
Everybody has their own routine.

Not really, I used to do a 10-15 minute warm up on the bike, do core exercises/situps, lift for 30 min, do 30 minutes of intervals, then stretch for 5 before I went home.
You burn more calories throughout the day if you exercise in the morning, gym is usually more quiet.
Plus working out late at night prevents you from sleeping due to elevated heart rate

Well, it's not necessarily wrong, but it's not the most efficient. This could work for everyone and not just me. High intensity training is much more effective. You can obviously still see results by slugging around the gym, but why waste the extra time when you can get your results faster and in less time.

question for those who have gone the p90x route.
do you need to follow that nutrion guide? i was looking at it and honestly dont have the time for all that.
can i just have a healthy diet and pretty much have the same results ?

?
What's that got to do with using gym time efficiently? I'll humor you though...If you're training for a marathon or something then sure, but if you're at a gym long enough, how much time is spent dilly dallying and not working out?
90% of the people in here want to look good, feel good, kick some +*!...For that, HIT for 30-45 minutes is for everyone.
We don't need to argue this, because I've already done this and it's proven. Both ways and I'm talking from experience. Maybe people don't want to hear that their 2 hours in the gym is waste and that's why it's a disagreement, but I'm saying...You can get your results quicker and with less gym time if you work your +*! off. That's all that matters to me. I would listen though because I'm right.

^ Dude. Just eat healthy and you'll be fine. Don't have to eat the foods they say. I just changed up my diet, took away sweets, fried foods, bread, etc.
