Actually, you and Erenussocrates started this in the 4th and 5th post, respectively, on page 92. You then continued it after it was plainly pointed out by Enemy | as a useless discussion of semantics. And now it's going to end because Enemy | was correct.Akros wrote:you are the one who started all this, in fact, most of your post in this thread are offtopicXanatos wrote:It's not my problem if you won't consider facts.

BTW, check the wikipedia so you know where "soccer" comes from

Running is a low-energy long activity, and will just generally deplete your energy reserves, but will increase your stamina and slightly increase your muscles.ook wrote:Week 1 day 2 of pushups complete. I don't know if it was because I didn't run first like last time, or if I'm actually getting stronger already, but it was a little easier than day 1.
Pushups (for example) is a high-energy short activity, and will go for maximum muscle growth and make your arms hurt, but won't really deplete your energy reserves or increase your stamina.
Therefore, plan accordingly. If you can, do exercises that'll deplete your energy reserves last (otherwise anything after that will be done while you're feeling exhausted), do high-energy short activities when you won't need to use -those- muscles for a day or so, otherwise they'll hurt etc etc.
tl;dr
Do endurance exercises after weight-lifting style exercises.
With -any- exercises that're designed to push you to your limit (pushups, running etc etc.) then you should always rest for a day or so afterwards to give your body time to recover. Ideally exercise Mon, Wed, Fri and have the other days in the week off.update: I honestly don't know if I'm following Althamus's chart but if I'm correct about this. I should rest until Monday again since I'm done with the first 3 days in that week. (Or should I progress on the chart everyday?)
This is because if you're doing it right, then you should be actually tearing your muscles apart as you exercise, and then when they regrow, they'll regrow bigger and stronger. But obviously, if you don't give them time to regrow, you'll just end up damaging them.
Obviously, if you can run for 20 miles np, then a half-mile walk isn't pushing you to your limits, so a rest afterwards isn't needed etc etc.
If you feel sore when you start the exercise, you're probably better off leaving it a day more.
I don't know anything about your condition; is it possible for you to build up strength? If so, you could always try some sort of alternative form of pushup, like knee pushups, or wall pushups if it comes to it? If not, justXanatos wrote:I can't do pushups. No strength in the right arm.

I'm not american and that doesn't change the fact that the actual name of the sport's name is soccer. That is fact.Akros wrote: Don't complain for something so stupid, it's no use, besides this isn't a discussion of semantics, like you said. Football is played with your feet, if Americans just grab a ball with their hands and call it football well.... you need to to learn the meaning of words

I've hit another milestone. After losing 4 more pounds this last week, I've now lost a total of 50 lbs. since the beginning of the year. I feel great.
That's really great, congratulations! ^_^Well done! Not to like throw you on the pedestal or anything but you are like the success story of this thread. In other news, I haven't been able to run but I have been keeping up with the pushups so that's good. Finally got a job after some extensive searching, doing auto work so hopefully I can get a good workout from it.Gandara wrote:Weekly Update

My week was a little sordid to say the least. I worked a 14-hour shift on Saturday, most of that on my feet, so on Sunday and Monday I was having some significant knee problems. My right knee was buckling a lot and swelled up pretty bad. I iced it and it seemed to get better, but I didn't walk much this week. I swam on Monday and Wednesday as planned, and the swimming seemed to help a lot with my knee. I'm better now, but losing that exercise was a little disheartening.
Anyway, I've got a lot longer to go but I'm much closer to my goal than I was several weeks ago. Gotta keep moving!
Congrats, that's just awesome. I love roller coasters too. I worked at an amusement park one summer in my late teens and rode them after every shift. I've been on the opposite side of that scenario a couple of times; I felt about two inches tall when I had to tell someone they couldn't go on because of that.ook wrote:Also, I reached a milestone today - I went to an amusement park.
I hadn't been to one of those in about 8 years, so I was really nervous as I was about to get on that first roller coaster.
Not because I was scared, but... skinny people probably take this for granted, but it's something every 300+ man has experienced: It sucks to wait in line for a ride, only to take the "walk of shame" because the restraints won't close all the way.
But thanks to emi and you guys, that didn't happen.My gut has now shrank enough to ride on roller coasters.
As soon as the realization hit me that I could literally go on any ride in the park now, I felt... liberated.
And oh how I enjoyed those coasters.
Good on you, man! Your hard work is paying off like crazy and inspiring people to follow. I've lost 24 pounds since I started this, at the rate of a bit less than 2 pounds a week. I'm now about 10 pounds away from my goal of 220.Gandara wrote:I've hit another milestone. After losing 4 more pounds this last week, I've now lost a total of 50 lbs. since the beginning of the year.
