Rippetoe on the hormonal effects of training:
ReplyDeleteThe questions was….
Now that I'm at an intermediate level I switched to a 1x5 system. After 4 months of that I came back to Starting Strength.
WOW. Something hormonal is going on. When I wake up in the morning it's like I'm 18 again. This happens the day after workout on recovery morning. I'm not old at 33 but this hasn't happened in years. Has anyone had this happened to them?
Rips answer…..
I assume you are referring to the hormonal effects of the program, and the subsequent effects on your tallywhacker upon arising from sleep.
Everyone who has a tallywhacker has had this happen to them.
It's the only reason Zach trains, and certainly the only reason his wife is still with him.
Mike, I feel like i know you as a person much better after watching that enlightening video.
ReplyDeletehello everyone!
ReplyDeleteif anyone has any gently used sneakers and/or workout clothes they want to donate to my track team at school, please see me. i am guilty of buying things and wearing them once or twice to find out i really don't like it, but i feel bad tossing it. this way you don't have to feel bad because you are giving it to kids that need these items! (all sizes, male or female) thanks for your help!
I have alot of extra t-shirts that they can have that might help.
ReplyDeleteMike Nice video I was waiting to see Sam come out in a bikini with the baby oil.

Mike - the only thing that could make that better is if you were using a Flowbee!
ReplyDeleteHannah- I definitely he some gently used work out stuff! I'll bring it to the box for you :-)
Well I tried to keep the faith and do a WOD in the hotel this evening. No dumbells, but no problem, I'll go out and do some Tabata sprints and 100 pushups & situps.
ReplyDeletePulled my left hamstring AGAIN on the the very last sprint. I felt great, so I really stretched it out.....a little too much. I think it was more of a bad cramp and a pull rather than a tear, but it is rather tight and sore at the moment.
The good news is that I came in and did my 100 push ups and sit ups.
Hopefully, I can bring this thing back faster than the last time, but I think my Carl Lewis days are behind me. It sucks getting old!
Ray-sorry to hear about the hammy again!!
ReplyDeleteSolid work tonight, I will post results tomorrow; there is no internet at the new crib yet...so I apoligize for the delay.
Level 2 gang nice job on another chipper!
