  1. I have some shoulders that are very prone to dislocation so I do have some advice on it. Basically Front and side shoulder raises from waist to shoulder height. Also do rotator cuff exercises. Don't do them with too heavy of a weight either. 2) Seek out a good physiotherapist. They will be able to be give you some good advice and other exercises like wall slides and review your technique. You can also get some resistance bands so you can do some exercises like spelling out the entire alphabet in increasing size.
  2. My way of dealing with this habit was to make more and more parts of my life non smoking. I found if I was in an environment that allowed smoking, I desired it. The worst place I found to deal with was at work. I eventually basically stayed through my desk the entire day to avoid moving around and going outside to smoke. It's still kinda rough hanging around smokers and resisting the urge to mooch one. Avoid the situation, and the temptation is minimized.
  3. This show is soo good. Just saw the mid south qualify one. Those guys are tough. Interesting to see that they are more of the 90's small type as opposed to the 70's big type style. It really made sense that the rock climbing guys were the best.
  4. I have question about what is a better exercise for the horizontal pull exercise. Is it the horizontal row or is the pullup/chin up? Typically it goes horizontal rows and then chin ups/pull ups. But that doesn't make sense cause it seems that chin ups/ pull ups are more a vertical pull. I am thinking that a front lever version doing a horizontal row would be the best type of horizontal pull. This is more of a theory question than anything cause I am not anywhere near to having the core strength to doing a tuck FL.
  5. I cut down in small doses. I was in a place where I wasn't allowed to smoke, I didn't crave it. So I basically defined more and more places in my life as non smoking over time. Plus also it helps having a health scare, and knowing some one personally that has lost 50% of their lungs to being a smoker. I so don't want to be like her. Maybe try volunteering a old folks home and get to know the long term smokers to see the ravages of smoking first hand?
  6. I work out at work so I have to be fairly creative when I do so. It's mainly a bodyweight routine. For back, deadlifts and over head work, I use a 5 gallon water jug (2 for deadlifts). It's one armed rows for the back and 2 hand press above the head for the back. It weighs roughly around 55 lbs. If that's too heavy to do, do less reps or maybe buy a 3 gallon jug instead. In my area, a water jug costs a total of $10 including the $5 deposit.
  7. I was browsing wired.com and I ran across an interesting article about electronic feedback coaching. Who would need to post form check videos f they used this concept? If your form is wrong, you get buzzed. Very unique.
  8. That training thing is key. My easiest way to do any yoga is the distraction method. Food, kid tv show, etc. While he's entertained, time to do the various poses while I'm in the same room. Sometimes my youngest is in the chill out zone so he doesn't want to jump on Daddy. But when's he is hyper, just forget about doing any type of stretches. Although I have to admit, it does make increase the challenge difficulty of doing a plank with one or two toddlers on your back. FYI, I find horsey rides are a good core workout.
  9. This is so true. Plus also I have to make sure that I have the upper and lower body strength to make Junior(s) fly through the air before hitting the water. Gotta make sure I'm stronger once he hits kindergarten and up to do this. Plus also it's nice to have an excuse to do cardio. Just running for fitness is boring. Playing 'chase' and 'race' is so much more fun.
  10. http://http://www.bodyweightculture.com/forum/showthread.php?8493-20-Level-Challenge-Training&highlight=20+level+challenge PDF download http://chrisholden.net/fitness/20lvlworkout.xls I found the above at bodyweightculture.com. It's an awesome little chart increasing difficulty type of bodyweight exercises. It was a good site dedicated to bodyweight enthusiasts.
  11. I got one of those for christmas. unfortunately it was one that needed to have mountings screwed into the door frame. It didn't work on my doors, so I made a redneck support in my laundry room hanging from exposed joists with 2x4's. Works well now
