I recently went to a chiropractor who told me that I needed to strengthen my core to ease the tension I get in my back. He said to focus on exercises that isolate my back and to build up my abs. He also mentioned that my core affected my posture and that building my core would help correct it.Originally Posted by rhester
I have the exact same problem, today was my heavy day and after I finished my sets I had pain in my back. I'm going to to start doing it seated on the adjustable bench with the back straight up.Originally Posted by brettTHEjett
When I do overhead press (standing) I feel as if my spine is about to fold. I'm able to put up more weight than my spine is allowing me to. I understand this issue pertains to my 'core' being weak...
What can i do to really strengthen my core as efficiently as possible?
I think that will help, I feel like I'm cheating myself sometimes towards the end of my sets when I start "feeling" it, I tend to arch my back to help...
We'll see... (I do dumbell btw)

To those in the above quote pyramid, you need to focus on TVA/internal oblique exercises, which will stabilize the spine (not crunches, back extensions, etc). Also, your main focus on any higher risk exercise (squat, deadlift, standing presses), should be to contract your TVA's throughout the whole exercise before you even begin to think about lifting the weight.Originally Posted by digital022

If i could go back in time and change something about my workout, would be less cardio/hiit. It led me to have a disproportionate body(torso? and legs are too thin compared to arms), which i am slowly fixing.Originally Posted by BangDak
I decided to change up my cardio workout.
Would biking about 10 miles 2 days a week be good enough?
In other words, just do light cardio, but keep at it. Good results take time, remember to focus on everything not solely one single part of your body.
Biking also exercises many different parts of your body as well. Any other opinions?
Not doing GOMAD?Originally Posted by nealraj006
Word.
I've been doing StrongLifts - im seeing results in overall strength
Like *@*@, i've been getting my bounce back, becoming really explosive. Im not too concerned with what I look like (its winter here) - so i've been eating relatively clean, trying to add mass. I still don't think I eat enough, probably around 3000cals, but coupled with a fast metabolism and constant activity, im finding it difficult to gain mass. I am also scared of gaining too much fat in the process, but its welcomed.
I haven't done any bicep curls or tri pull downs in weeks, yet im more defined.
I really recommend a strength or compound workout for those athletes looking to increase their performance. Don't worry about others doing isolation exercises in the gym, chances are they're bodybuilding or just misguided. Compound/fullbody workouts are the way to go for athletes, do them if you want to gain mass, explosivity and quickness.
Myofibril hypertrophy, you will experience a bit of sacroplasmic hypertrophy - could you explain these further? Im quite interested to know what my body does with a 5x5 programme.
And when is it a good idea to switch to/incorporate isolation exercises?
I workout 3x a week, play ball at least 3x a week, plus try aim for an HIIT session a week. Am I overkilling myself? I started squatting at a low weight first, to make it easier and practise my technique, however.. when the weight gets heavier I know i'll feel the pain.
Edit: PVL Mutant Mass anyone? Thinking of giving this a shot.. 1050cal per servings, on top of what i'd eat daily.
Squat + DeadliftOriginally Posted by Fog Raw
^^ Hey, I have the same problem... My upper body is huge compared to my legs. Are there any exercises/workouts that might help balance it out a little? I seldom ever work on my legs, only when I go for some jogs/sprints.
Also, what would be the best way for me to burn fat? I've got some fat around my waist and neck area. Sorry NT I need some schooling on fitness...
If anyone can help me out, greatly appreciated
Thanks. How about exercises to get leaner?Originally Posted by I3

Well damnOriginally Posted by rafsjays
I do a bit of cycling, and 10 miles 2x per week is not very much cardio. If I were you I would ad miles or do it 3-4 times per week.
This is how I grade my rides:
10 miles - short ride
20 miles - decent ride
30 miles - good ride
50-100 miles - great ride
Also, with cycling you dont have to worry about your legs getting smaller in fact it will probably be the opposite. Just mix up the rides with hills, flats, and descents and you should be good.
