  • Whenever I try heavier than normal loads I always concentrate on NOT clenching my teeth and MAKING SURE to BREATHE OUT ON EXERTION. I have given myself headaches like you mention but never can remember what I did to bring them on :oops:

    Just make sure to see your doctor if you have an erection that last for more than 4 hours.

    Oh sorry, wrong commercial.
    haha thanks mate - if i find a hot doctor i'll make that call :lol:

    i think i hurt my brain :crazy:
    i went to the gym last night, and was starting my workout with chinups then bench presses. all was going okay until i did 1 set of 8 presses on 100kg (more than i've ever done) and as soon as i'd finished that set, i got this incredibly intense headache which i've still got today (the morning after). i eventually gave up on the workout after about 25mins, and don't know whether it was just dehydration (i drink shitloads of water though) or a strain kind of injury or if i've popped a blood vessel in my head? :lol: anyone else ever had this happen so suddenly and linger so long?


    Thats really strange!!! Could it be a neck strain.???

    Im in the process of changing my chin up style coz sometimes when I started to fatigue Id tighten my neck on the way up and sometimes start to get a slight headache. It was all tensioned based.

    Yesterday

    10 box jumps
    10 floor wipes 40kg
    10 80kg deadlifts
    500m row

    4 sets
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    Let us know how you go.

    Ive gone from doing anywhere from 150 to 420 chin ups a week to none!!! :cry:

    Been working on my 'new' kipping style to get it right. Ive got a lot more extension in the lower half on the swing. Been a weird thing to 're-learn'

    My chest doesnt get as far out as the chick on the right but Im close

    wow man that's amazing - i've never done or seen anyone doing these kipping pull ups before. do you do any gymnastics or is it just for strength/fitness? i might just do straight out chin ups for now, but they look pretty awesome for fitness work.

    Mate they took me ages to learn...probably two years

    I train cross fit style which basically means heaps of reps with NO breaks. They are terribly hard to learn (as you can hear the guy say in the video) and believe it or not I was actually forced to learn due to the number of reps I was doing AND the fatigue factor.

    Ironic thing is....the more fatigued you are the easier it is to learn how to do them. I used to do 24kg kettle bell swing before hand so shoulders would be busted then jump straight up and aim for 15 chins. Doing this for 6 months and I finally learnt.

    Now that Ive been doing them for 2 years I decided to go back to basics and get the 'full' extension down the bottom (more like the chick on the right in vid as opposed the the other two

    Hahaha and a definite no on the gymnastics there mate :lol:

    Noooo.....I can't exercise in front of you! :?

    What I'm really liking right now is skipping.....with a rope....not that gay skipping like little girls that someone linked me other day.....sooo hard but feels so good! I can only do a few minutes at a time though...haha...I like that feeling of being so fucked you can barely breathe.

    Five years? :shock: I know for a fact that's bullshit! Man, I'll have girls eating out of your hand if you put me on the case. I get chicks for my mates all the time. However, we're sharing beds and rooms on tour so no sex allowed!!

    I am currently walking (at a brisk pace) about 10km, at least 4 times a week.
    Will upgrade to jogging in a couple of weeks, once I lose some more weight.

    thanks, I will try to keep the momentum
    once you manage to turn it into something regular, it is easier to keep on doing it. I haven't reached that point yet, but I have started and am off my bum, at least. :P

    Great attitude. Love hearing shit like this

    I believe you dont even turn it into something regular...it moreso becomes a lifestyle that you need to do.

    I have to train minimum 4 days a week. 3 of these days probably negates half the beer I drink and one day maybe improves my fitness levels :lol::lol:

    Buru even make you next start run/walk/run etc....even if it just be 200m of each. Before you know it you'll be running 2 kms in one go.

    Pop your head back in and keep us updated on your progress. Dont GIVE UP 8-)

    Tonights menu:

    30 squats
    20 push ups
    10 dips
    500m run

    What made me go gym was idiots beeping at me jogging.
    I live near a busy road and when I jog down there I always get beeps.
