I'm sure they consulted with "professionals". having spent time around NSCA trainers, most are morons in my opinion. Most S&C coaches are morons.
Regardless if you agree, if you don't that's fine. But it isn't hard to see the issues with a "bottoms up kettlebell press" or high elbows row.
I agree with you there. As long as the arms aren't shrugged up while pulling. Which is hard to do. I'm assuming PT means physical therapist. Which, I assume, he recommends high elbows row are done with light weights to ensure proper form. Which is great. It's not a bad lift for rehab and therapy. But for a general strength building lift, it's inefficient and dangerous.High elbow rows (with proper form) are good, my PT started me on those post surgery, and I assure he is NOT a moron.
The problem is most people do not do them with proper form and use to much weight.
Yes physical therapist.I agree with you there. As long as the arms aren't shrugged up while pulling. Which is hard to do. I'm assuming PT means physical therapist.

I whole heartedly agree. Proper form is key. But I will also contend that not everybody has the same idea of "proper form". The NSCA's idea of proper squat form is ridiculous. I've seen some crazy stuff in general. I have yet to understand why anybody would ever exhale while squatting or deadlifting, but yet it's taught that way by "professionals".Yes physical therapist.
I think any exercise can be bad if proper form is not used.
Deads are great but I see proper form seldom, if not using proper form deads are a recipe for disaster
Not a bad idea.Mods, is there any way we can make this the official strength and conditioning thread and have a separate legit weight loss thread? Serious question.
Instead of upping the cardio solely by volume, up it with high intensity intervals (if you're not already doing it). If you need a decent outline, check earlier in this thread. I think I put one of my old workouts in here.Well after sometime of not going to the gym and eating out, a lot. I made the decision for myself and for Legacy Prep to get back on track. In the last week I brought myself down from 200lbs down to 194. I'm hoping to continue on the downward. I have upped the workouts by emphasizing cardio, core and flexibility. My diet has changed dramatically as well. Lots of chicken, fish and veggies.
Very good.Instead of upping the cardio solely by volume, up it with high intensity intervals (if you're not already doing it). If you need a decent outline, check earlier in this thread. I think I put one of my old workouts in here.
after LIITA i am definitely in need of getting back in the gym. tomorrow lunch time will be some form of hiit cardio.
Same. I started up this morning again at the gym.after LIITA i am definitely in need of getting back in the gym. tomorrow lunch time will be some form of hiit cardio.
Always okay.Very good.
To piggyback, if that's OK?, long distance cardio can build cortisol in the body. It's a bad thing.
A really good snack I like is Quest bars. My favorite is the double chocolate putting a little peanut butter on top. Hard to beat a simple high protein lunch like a salad with a grilled protein of your choice (chicken, ground turkey breast, 97% lean grass fed beef), sodium free or low sodium black beans, on broccoli slaw or some other form of green. I put a little balsamic vinagerrete also. Another option is one of the forms of protein on Mission low carb tortillas with a little salso, siracha, or pesto for taste.Stepped on the scale for the first time in a while today. Yikes. I'm not surprised - my eating has been way off.
Firing up MyFitnessPal - need to get back to tracking. Looks like the update wiped the custom macros and calories I set up. I'll be posting in here to keep myself accountable.
Anyone have high protein/ lowish carb suggestions for snacks and lunch? That's where I need some variety.

For snacks, I usually have a handful of almonds and walnuts, or an avocado.
I'm a vegetarian, so a typical lunch for me is a salad with a veggie burger on top, or a PB&J sandwich. If you eat meat, a decent lunch would be a burger, no bun, mayo, mustard, no ketchup, lettuce, onion, pickle, Sriracha (for spice on top of the mustard)

Shmoly that's some serious good work there. Keep being healthy.ive been eating like a Diabetic for the past 5 months....meat, and lots and lots of veggies. cut out pop, chips, bread, fries and all junk.
I was nearing 350 pounds a year ago....now Im at 235........still big dude but still going to eat this way. having a steak every Friday is bonus.
I also bought a bowflex m5 treadclimber (I call it satan's device) it was hard getting on it. I couldn't even do 2 minutes on it. now Im up to 20 minutes every morning and feel great every time I get off it.
