adida's 1st log...

Lol. I've never had the problem of clenching my mouth when I lift because I always inhale/exale through my mouth while workingout.

Nice lifting bro.

and your a screamer lol...appearently while i lift heavy i tend to clench though..no problem i have a mouth piece around here some were that covers the top and bottom with a breath hole in the middle. i should be ok.

Great work bro! I clench my jaw alot but not during training, just all the time due to stress. I tend to grind my teeth at night, too. Dentist said I needed a mouth piece but i've never worn one. I'm sure i'll regret it when i'm older.

 

[adidamps2]

i'd go a head and get one. might as well you only get one set of chomper's..unless you like falsies???

i had a few of those bit them all in half eventually during the night while sleeping. it is like pebbles in a river. nice and smooth and eroded. eventually your teeth will get worn down and you will have probs like you said later.

If you want one like that, get the Brain-Pad Double Guardian. I used it during football and it worked wonders. I could breathe/talk somewhat better than the old mouthpeices that they give out a lot better than before. It has a nice flap in the middle where you can breathe through.

Its real cheap. I got mine for about 7bucks. Shipping was like 9. Came out to be around 20bucks for a very good mouthguard.

Let me also add that it really helps with preventing concussions. I've only had about 2 minor ones during this past season in football compared to many minor ones in the previous season lol. So if you somehow are benching and you get the bar to land on your head or if you're going to squat and you crack your head on the bar while trying to get the bar on your back, your head won't hurt as bad.

 

[tman55]

that is a good idea. we use those in tkd. breath hole in the middle. can't bite that in half either. if your wife hits you in the night, won't knock a tooth out either.

You're right, I really need to.

skipped rest of work out...today was miserable. i have really cut back on my diet, due to me working more and being able to work out less. i havent posted my wt lately, but before i started this 2 day on 2 day off work schedual i was upto 218lbs with a decreased waist line. now i'm down to 214 in less than 4 days. i also didnt get a lot of sleep last night. after my bench/LLCP SS i knew i was spent and would have been spinning my wheels if i con't to lift. i am goin to have to re-vamp my W/O routine and tweek it until i get back on a 2 on 3 off schedual. my diet is too low in fat and carbs right now to try and lift on a routine like this. i will have to shorten it and drop some wt's to be able keep up working out like i like too.

rest yes more of it, but the diet has been clean, too clean i think. i was eating more fat and carbs before the last few days. now i am eating less do to how little i do at work. all i do is sit on ass and stair at a computer screen.

first of all nice work today adida.

regarding the work schedule diet workout thing: tweak it, change it, play around with it until you find a balance that works for you. only you know what works. i know what you mean about being spent from lack of fats and carbs, lack of sleep, changing work schedule etc.

just stick with it and figure it out you'll be fine. congrats on the weight loss.

 

[adidamps2]

thanks Tman..i'm just so tired i'm off to take a nap. need sleep and food. thanks guys.

 

[SteelSouth]

Nice work adida, don't worry about the miss. It's probably due to your diet, i'm dealing with the same thing, strength loss. Just keep pounding away. Work schedules suck, I work out of town 4-5 days a week at times and find it difficult to get my meals in living out of a hotel room with no kitchen. We just have to adjust and stay at it. Love the new avi bro!!

 

[Winter]

Nice lifting bro. You'll hit the 315 next workout for sure. Keep your head up.

 

[adidamps2]

thanks JT and Winter..i needed those words.

 

[rookie03]

jt you should buy a george foreman grill and a microwave and put a mini fridge in your car...than youd be set! addida its no biggy that you missed it... you could lift more by the way! your doing too many damned sets and then at the end trying to bang it out...why dont you do two warm up sets...then two acclimation sets say...245 for one set of 6....then rest and do 285 for a set of like 5 just to get your body accustomed somewhat to the weight your about to push...then do 3 sets of 315 at your maximum intensity...instead of doing all those other sets...just do 2 warm up...2 acclimation sets...then three working sets at your maximum ammount of poundage...youd be surprised ill bet you can bang out 315 for like 6 if you try this!

 

[adidamps2]

rookie i see what you saying, but i have done 315x5 two weeks ago. it has more to do the rest/lack of sleep i had and my diet i believe. i believe if i adjust my diet and get proper rest i should bounce back and hit it again. also i tried to up my reps on all my squats instead of upping only a few sets reps. it will all pan back out. thanks for the comments and advice.

 

[pretty ricky]

dude it happens esp if you aint eatin.

 

[luquillo78]

also i tried to up my reps on all my squats instead of upping only a few sets reps.

That's a big jump! I usually up reps on 1 or 2 sets.
