Bobby,

How long have you been doing HIIT? From what I've read, it's a good idea to take a week or two off every 6-8 weeks of it. I don't see the harm in skipping a few days to give your legs some extra recovery time.

I think a week off every 8 weeks is good advice for any trainee. Too bad I'm retarded and just injure myself every 2 months instead of taking a voluntary week off.

my weights down to 140 pounds and i benched 145 for a few reps, my friend told me that´s a milestone so that´s good. i´m going to start with olympic lifting, squatting and deadlifting now i couldn´t before due to leg injury and fear that my bad form will get me injured. there´s still a chance i´m going to injury myself with bad form but these excercises are too helpful to not do.

Yeah, benching BW is a great milestone. Now work on getting your squat to 2X BW and you'll be in good form.

quick question, say i pulled-strained my hamstring about 15 days agoand it{s a lotbetter but ifi do hard sprinting or stretch it i can feel it. should i be stretching it out a lot, stretching itlightly or just leave itbe until its all better?

I don't CLA works very well. It's been in supplement form 10+ years since EAS started selling it and it never really caught on. If it actually made noticeable difference in reasonable doses, it would have caught on by now.

I would use the $ to buy fish oil, protein powder, creatine and stuff that works [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Beerfest is today. And in celebration I will have a contest. Person who gets the closest to my actual amount of drinks consumed tonight (cup is small and beers are small. I will couple beerfest beers with actual drinks at bars after) will be spared from derisive commentary for the next week.

Facts to help:
1) I've eaten 2 pieces of toast today. Might have some milk before I peace out.
2) I'm an average drinker. Not very "hardcore".
3) I will end up out to possibly 3-4. Who knows.
4) Beerfest is ~3 hours but there are lines.

If I blackout/passout/vomit I will spare everyone from anything negative for the remainder of the week.

Only one to guess. Ipso facto he wins. He will be spared from all commentary that is poor in nature. In fact I think I will spare everyone from that.

Side Note: Kyle, looking very good. I'm impressed. Possibly in March I will post photos. Unless Smiley captures photos of me while I swing up there in Nov. But keep in mind I'm bulking. No lights babay....

All the ravings from bb.com and here made me start doing HIIT last Monday. I started last week with 4 30 seconds and now am very comfortable with 4~5 of them. I am not lifting, though. Thoughts? I am going back to the States in 3 weeks and that's when I think I will start lifting.

colin,
I played bball the other day. Despite running almost every single day for two months, not playing any bball during that time period really made me feel uncomfortable. I felt sluggish, but not the type of sluggish one would feel after 2 months hiatus of exercise. =/
