Aranan posted:I started running with VFFs. Did couch to 5k, then a marathon, then all my runs after that. The only reason I don't still run in them is because I do lots of rocky/root laden runs and having a real sole keeps my feet from getting stone bruises and because the army won't let me use them at PT. I still have a pair (my 3rd, I wore holes in the other 2) in the closet that I may take out again in the future. These are great if you didn't already know about them Merrell Men's Trail Glove 3 Trail Running Shoe, Black/Light Grey, 11.5 M US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KZOBTCO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_AAPTwbWNMTY02 I have the last version/model. best hybrid of shoe/minimalism IMO

So is flipping tires as dumb as I always thought or what. Like I can't assume NFL athletes are doing them I just feel like there's so many other workouts that would provide the same benefit with less a chance of injury I mean most people just flip with their back anyways because gotta get those reps in #crossfit

Yeah don't waste all this time with poo poo form, you're only doing yourself a huge disservice in the long run. Find some classes, local YMCA, whatever. Don't get me wrong swimming is extremely exhausting as is, but it helps to be efficient

egyptian rat race posted:Is there any way to increase added weight while doing dips past a 45# plate on a belt? Attaching a dumbbell maybe? I really feel like weighted dips are helping me get stronger in flat bench but I won't want to look like an rear end in a top hat with a multiple plate keychain hanging off me. Weighted dips and pull ups are probably the two most under utilized workouts. They're great all around. You could also mix it up with dumbbell flat bench, or Google "rack lock outs"  That's a lot easier than it looks. Just put dumbbell behind knee then cross. You could do that + a plate? What's wrong with adding a plate to the belt next to the 45 lb plate? Are there 2.5 lb plates you could use? I bought some 1.25 lb plates online a while back since they're impossible to find. You could also go all out and look hard as gently caress with some heavy chains around your neck

I did the modified starting strength and it was really good and my introduction to weight lifting I ate whatever I wanted, did little cardio, and gained a ton of muscle and lost a ton of fat in the process. It shouldn't just be seen as some bulking/power lifting routine where you just turn into a fat but yeah lmk if you have any questions. I had a lot of success and progress with it. I'm not the biggest dude but at my peak I was doing 3x5 of 275lbs squats ATG baby and 2x6-8 weighted pull ups with about 60 lbs? Felt pretty beast Anyways stick to it, eat everything, and try to get an ideal amount of sleep as much as possible. Really focus on form, never sacrifice it in any capacity, and don't be ashamed to reset any amount. If you get really into it you might want to invest in a 1.25 lb plates or chains

what's alls opinion about "leaving some in the tank." That is, not working to failure, and stopping if you feel you could push out a few more reps I assume sets/reps is a factor of course
