That Crossfit vid is crazy. Kind of OD, actually IMO since I live a different lifstyle. But hey, those guys look like they live, eat, and sleep training.
JSJ, by poor form, what do you mean exactly? I don't know too much about cleans and all that, so I'm not sure about correct form on that.

I wouldn't say six meals a day is typical. Maybe for the intermediate/avid lifter it is but for the average person I'd say it's closer to the standard three. You really should read through the pages because many people have posted how they go about the nutritional aspect of lifting, there is no one typical way to carry it out. You should give more info like what your daily schedule is like to get a more tailored response but I'd still encourage to read through the read. Theres been some pretty valuable info already posted...no point in not reading it.
Personally, when I'm in my serious gym mode, I stick to the standard three with decent sized snacks in between. This snack can be a shake (preferably homemade), trail mix/nuts, PB&J sandwich, etc. anything that helps you hit your macros. Theres a ton of possibilities. Hitting your macros is what matters in most (not all) cases, meal spacing and amount isn't as important as many make it out to be IMO

I feel like complete %@*$
That's interesting. I was actually thinking about something similar to give ALL muscles an opportunity to recover, me feeling like %$$!, and consequently being re-energized and re-motivated.
I'm almost done with my 12-week workout program (1 month remaining) and I may do something like this.
Thoughts?

^ don't jump right into a cycle with a month off. Regain your muscle memory back. Then once you are where u used to be, hop on.

how long do you guys do your workouts for before you switch up routines? I've been on the same routine for the past 5 weeks and feel like im plateauing. I've upped my weights and feel like i am getting a hard work out but I am not getting that sore feeling the following day? Should I be? or is that a sign that its time for a new routine?

Not sure what this was directed at, but it reminded me of one of the things I hate most at the gym - people who ride the stationary bikes and put in like zero effort, especially on the bikes that have you damn near laying down.
cbass, soreness means nothing.. if youre weights are going up dont worry about it

Bicycle Riding is also known as "cycling". A "cycle" in body building terms would pertain to steroid usage.

nah I've always been 100% dedicated
but sometimes life is unexpected and you're in a situation where you can't make it to the gym regularly for a while
muscle memory is kicking in i'll be where i used to be before i even start the cycle

Anybody know how to treat an injured wrist? lol
I kinda went OD on the arm curls and now my right wrist hurts everytime I bench press (I stopped because it hurts, I can barely bench the bar itself now
), but perfectly fine with dumbbells press.
I can't do dumbbells arm curls, but I can curl the curved bar and it won't hurt for some reason. lol

I am looking to start taking a nitric oxide, but there are so many conflicting reviews on all the brands. Can anyone recommend a nitric oxide? I'm debating either getting Neurocore or York3d

So my gym just closed until the end of the month, and now I only have access to a gym to lift on the weekends.
What are some things I can do to keep working out until my gym reopens?
