    SSA's Daily fitness iHop

    Just finished recovering from surgery, so I can get back to the gym. Ordered all my supps: Beta Alamine, to be added to the BCAA Boost from True Nutrition as a preworkout. Whey protein mix from True Nutrition, half non-soy organic and half cold-filtered, and Universal Nutrition's Creatine for post. Half my daily Beta Alamine will be in with the protein postworkout. Since it's been a couple months, figured I'd start over with a full-body routine: Squats, Bench, bicep curls, overhead tricep press, pull ups, and deadlift, with some other things thrown in there to help kill the boredom (plate raises, lateral pull downs, core, cardio). Anxious to get back to it!

    First front stage build in new car

    1. In every car that I've ever opened up, yes. If you have a factory active set-up , then from the amp. 2. Whereever it fits. 3. M5 got it. 4. No 5. I've yet to deaden my car, and have put front stages in multiple cars with no deadening. All of them had improved sound/were louder, but the heavier doors sounded better, so your sound will only be further improved with sound deadening. ...ya may be needing a second battery. I have a less efficient Candence amp (I'd imagine) and a larger stock alt and needed a second battery.

    After a little planning alterations, I've fallen into a regular schedule four days a week. 6'0", 168 lbs. Saturday: upper body w/ core and cardio Pushup, curls, tricep press, bench, db bench, pullups, lat pull downs, plate raises (bench and lat pull downs are usually de-loading sets) 20 minute run weighted russian twists, weighted sit ups, leg raises, planks Sunday: Lower body w/ core and cardio Dead Lift, Squats, Calf extentions, Lunges, hip raises 20 minutes run weighted russian twists, weighted situps, leg raises, planks Monday: repeat saturday Wednesday: Full Body Curls, tricep press, plate raises, lat pull down, bench, dead lift, squats, calf extentions, butterfly 10 minute run russian twists, situps, leg raises, planks The three days I miss are due to not having time, and the full body day is to hit all the muscles I didn't due to the skipped Tuesday, as sort of a catch up day. I'm thinking that I need to mix up the core exercises a bit.

    I'm continuing the routine, but have converted to a more full-body workout, alternating between upperbody and lower body each day. I cut my cardio time slightly, but have changed to faster paces. I'm going to work to increase my time on these faster paces. I continue my body weight exercises each day I'm at the gym. Results are beginning to show. Cheers!

    Oii! Now that I'm in Australia, I figured I'd post the weekly routine I drew up for myself to get some criticism and just update y'all. No pre-workout, just protein powder post-workout. Workout before or after breakfast. Thursday is my day off. Daily Exercises 20+ minute run 25 pull-ups (narrow-grip until I build my shoulders enough) 2 sets of bicep curls (15 reps, light weight) 2 sets of DB tricep press (15 reps, light weight) 50 lunges 50 squats 50 pushups (military) 45 second planks (square and both sides) Oblique Plate Raises (3 sets, 10 reps) Russian Twists (unweighted) Leg Focus Sub 50 squats for 50 power jacks (insanity) Sub 50 lunges for 50 box jumps (.5 metre) 25 tuck jumps Add Leg Press (3 sets) Add Leg Extensions (3 sets) Add Leg Curls (3 sets) Add Calf Raises (3 sets) Arm/Shoulder Focus Add DB Benchpress (3 sets) Add Reverse & Inverted Row (3 sets, 10 reps) Add Delt Raises (3 sets) Add Plate Raises (3 sets) Back/Chest Focus Add Inverted Row (3 sets) Add Pull-downs (3 sets) Add 50 pushups (wide) Add Butterfly (3 sets) Core Focus Sub Planks for Alternating Position Planks (High-Low Planks) Sub Pushups for Oblique Pushups (insanity) Add 20 Leg Raises Add Cable Crunches (3 sets) Add 50 Reverse Crunches Add 25 reverse crunch into leg raise Cardio Focus Sub squats for burpees Add 10 minute run (increased pace) Add 50 high-knees w/ twist Add Plank Run (45 seconds) Add 25 Kick, step backs (insanity) All criticism is appreciated! Seems pretty basic, but the gym here is pretty basic as well. Squats and lunges are just body weight, which I intend to change once my legs become more in shape. Each category is a different day with one day of just the daily's. Cardio begins the week, and Legs is Friday, just to separate them as much as possible. Core is mixed in depending on time constraints/ability due to muscle soreness, but definitely once a week.

    I usually workout immediately after getting up and dressed, prior to eating anything, so it essentially becomes that my first meal is juice (well, until Australia makes me eat cafeteria food again).

    It changes my heart beat/rate some, but I've been a fan of it since I started taking it. May just try this new one to see how it goes. It is quite expensive though.

    Awesome! I may just be taking formulas from other products and making the whey antibiotic free, since I don't feel knowledgable enough to make my own entirely. Also, will probably invest in some fiber supplement. As far as a pre-workout goes, though, any suggestions or advice as to what I'm looking for?

    The fiber pill, as I know fiber is suppused to lessen the body's intake of carbs, or something, so potentially helping with weight gain due to beer drinking?! (I assume I'm creating falacies) I never refered to musclemilk. CYO is Create Your Own that TN offers, if that's what you were confused by. BCAA Plus is a pre-workout formula that TN offers as well. Stimulant free, I guess, which would be nice, since Emerge that I'm taking has 4 cups of coffee's worth of ccaffeine in it. I've been cutting back my use of the product purely for that reason.

    With regard to Team Skip's stuff, all the reviews seem to think it's best with milk, which I won't be able to store in my dorm. The CYO is intriguing, but I'm not sure I know enough to use it and assume that just about every mixture is already available. Is that the gimmick? Great idea, though. What's the concensus on fiber pills? Could they help counteract beer?! I'm shooting for under $15/lbs, and am really liking the idea of anti-soy, anti-hormone whey I find in the CYO. **edit: Also looking into this BCAA Plus stuff for a pre-workout while overseas.

    Unfortunately, I can't choke down the powder without sugar. Had some EAS mix that I threw away just because it tasted so nasty, but I got it for free, so it was hardly a worry. I use Max Triple Whey right now. 26g protein and 3g of sugar, which is a much better ratio than the powder I used to use. Really cool to see that TN ships internationally. May have to ship whatever powder I use to Australia.

    Good to know, and as expected from what I know of New Zealand. Eating healthy as a picky eater proves to be difficult, but for the times I do choose a cheeseburger, I always go bun-less. Actually just noticed your sig. I'm checking out that website.

    Vodka Tonics with Lime are great, so maybe I will have to start drinking those. Mixed drinks will help me drink a little more responsibly, too. The only poor thing in my diet is the cafeteria food and alcohol.. granted, that's all my diet is during the school year, but the fast food basically stops away from school, and the alcohol consumption dips quite a bit. I do tend to favor 6-8% beers, so I guess that helps some(?), but by far, my favorite liquor is rum. God, (that's a badass way to address someone) hopefully I won't have too much catching up to do. I'll be abroad in Australia the next few months and hope to focus more on my working out, and maybe train like I used to for baseball. Either way, being away for four months has got me motivated to make changes that will make my physical appearance different upon return. The bar scene there, hopefully, will help me limit my over-consumption, too.

    Right. Hopefully the moderation comes even with the 21st upcoming.

    ported sub-floor

    Just make the flush-mounting ring attatched to the sub, that way you can take out the ring with the sub by pulling up on the ring. Glue the ring to a separate thinner ring that also fits under the sub. If you put a really thin bit of foam under the thinner ring, it should remail airproof if your screws/bolts are tight enough.
