Building my plank pose to 5 minutes within a month. Started at 45seconds and have gotten up to 1:15.

I haven't worked out for literally like 2 years. And I did for the first official time yesterday, and I held it 1:00 and thought it was the worst thing ever. I wanted to quit at like 30 seconds and after the 1:00 I felt like not exercising ever again

Preworkout recommendations?

I was a huge fan of Jacked3d before it got pulled. 1MR and Assault are awful.

Anybody try Craze? How is the new formula of Jacked?

Shock Therapy and White Flood are solid and affordable. I heard good things about Hemo Rage and No Shotgun.

The plank hold is the 3rd portion of my circuit exercise. I'm holding a squat for 1min. I'm going to add weights to the hold, next week.

Just started a white flood preworkout with their purple wraath to drink during the workout...stuff is some of the best out there. Creatine Free, no crash and the pump/endurance from the Purple Wraath is great. Def would reccomend any controlled labs products.

Went to the gym for the first time in months as a last-ditch effort to get some good karma before the lottery

EDIT: You're all welcome. Unfortunately I swore I would go to the gym 5 days a week all summer if we won the lottery. So I guess I'll be a regular on this thread now.

nice to have you

Just broke 190 (with shoes). Thats 10 lbs or so so far and Im a little over half way through the cycle. Couldnt be happier.

I came up with a workout routine for my Total Gym:

25 pull-ups
40 twist sit-ups
1min squat hold
1.5min plank hold
50 jumping squats
30 cable curls

I reverse this order and do it 3 times.

Those pull-ups are killer. My arms a useless, right now.

I'm going to try and create new routines every week. This in conjunction with Jillian and DDPYOGA and cardio, should put me to where I want/need to be. 125lbs

I made a carrot cake last week, and it's just me. So I was pretty greedy with it. So good, but it's all going right to my belly. Not good.

What're some good exercises to add a few inches to your vertical? I'm 6' and can get my fingers a couple inches above the rim, but I'd really love to be able to dunk.

Blisters forming..... I completly didn't think about the aftermath of 75 pull-ups.

Heavy squats and power cleans are great for increasing vertical. I'd throw in some plyometric stuff, but that's really traumatic for your joints; not sure if it's a smart risk/reward move. That said, if you do add plyos to your regimen: don't do a bunch of reps, don't do continuous jumps (allow for plenty of rest between jumps), and don't do a bunch of reps.

Not sure what you weigh, but shedding some excess weight will result in a smaller object to be put into the air.....
