Day 2 (ever) at the gym... hopped on the treadmills... ran/walked around 2 miles. My heart rate, at one point, said 189... oddly I felt great and like I could keep going at that pace. I had a stress echo done last year and they got me up to 177... I coulda kept going but they had me stop. The results of that led them to tell me that I had the "heart of a competition athlete". When should I be concerned? I don't feel any pain or get dizzy, even in those high numbers.

That said, the high heart rate, high intensity stuff has it's place. It all just depends on your goals. For example, when I do High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), my heart will be racing something fierce at the peaks; but the point of that it so build up endurance and not to engage in aerobic exercise. So that's my answer/non-answer. ![]() |

Ahh.. yeah, it wasn't steady at there... it peaked there, and not for a super long time either. It just shocked me because it was a really high number. It went right back down quick enough when I slowed the pace. No one really explained how to work the machine, so I was kinda just mashing buttons. As for my goals, I'm just looking for better overall fitness and a little definition... increased endurance would definitely be good. Again, I'm 5'9 135lbs so I'm certainly not interested in losing weight ![]() Also, this whole "working out" concept is foreign to me. Gotta admit, though, post-workout cigars taste better than post-sitting-around-doing-nothing cigars... |

Plus I'm not exactly sure where you even come off questioning the lift. Not like I went from 100lbs to 335 overnight. Hate all you want, it just helps me to push myself harder.

Considering it took me a little over an hour to do, I would say so!
I had a crappy day at the gym yesterday. No energy and tired. I think I'm actually starting to get a cold ![]()

Keep at it! You'll shoot over that plateau at some point. You ever try to alter your rep rhythm or width of your grip? |

First day lifting in some time. I have had some lower back problems(disc out of place) 7 months ago. Im glad to get back at the weights. I was taking 189 creatine along with protein. Im planning on picking up some more amp. creatine 189 and optimum nutrition protein, but I was wondering if taking pill form creatine vs. powder form makes a big difference. What do you guys prefer, pill form vs. powder? And why?

Lifts still going up. No bloating. No need to preload. Inexpensive. Less water retention. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/aap/kre.html As far as the claims made regarding PH buffering, etc, I have no idea as to their validity. I just know it seems to be working well for me so far.

Let us know how it works for you Tom. My results from creatine have been lack luster to say the least.

I've always benched with a close grip Christos. A lot of guys give me a load of crap because they say im losing too much range by not maxing out my grip width. I take a close grip on benching even in competition benching. Keep that grip close, your shoulders will thank you later...

I also switched my pre-workout drink from White Flood to Jack3d so as to cycle off the White Flood for a while. The Jack3d doesn't give me the same focus, but it does seem to do as well with the pumps. It also makes me sweat more than a piece of rancid pork. ![]()
