I can do FIVE C0ck push ups ... been practicing since I was 16
I plan on running a 50 mile race in Nov, but it will be nowhere even close to a 6:40/ avg mile.
After that me and a couple buddys got plan to run a regular marathon in Febuary.
Good post. People also seem to get confused in the weight room with how fast they think they need to complete repetitions. They fail to complete the repetition properly because they think they "have" to do 10 or 12 or whatever. It's all about control and doing it the right way to stimulate the muscle.
Exactly. People totally forget how important the eccentric movement really is. In a lot of exercises, it is more important than the concentric. Reason being why I like to spend 1 set concentrating on nothing but negatives.
You said "for a man it doesn't seem like very much", and I'm telling you 1.5x lifted over a man's head is ALOT, and not alot of people are doing it, even those working out alot. Better?
Are you doing the JFK 50? I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than run more than a marathon distance! I'm running the Philly Marathon in November. It'll be my 15th marathon....shooting for 2:55....or at least sub-3 hours.
Good luck w the 50! That's no easy feat!

Hello,

I have lifted my entire life and other than beer have lived a some what healthy lifestyle. I'm wondering what you cats have for similiar strenght levels. I turn 40 in November.
Anybody here on or been on the juice?
