I've tried different things, basically everything at the lunch line that there is to offer. I'm always drinking water and I always eat breakfast. I don't want to have to prepare food everyday, but that gave me a thought: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I haven't even tried that out this year and that's a good food I'm sure. But it doesn't matter. I'm not going to play football again because it's so mentally exhausting. I love watching it but I can't make it through 2 hours of practice everyday. I'll probably start lifting again later, though.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of 5-hour energy because monsters and red bulls would probably make me throw up. I think I'll just try 5 hour energy and see how it works and if that doesn't work then I guess I'll use what you said.

Does anyone have suggestions for energy drinks before workouts? I have football workouts after school and I'm **** exhausted by then. I don't want to use any, but I pretty much feel like I have to at this point because I'm not making any improvements and the lack of energy motivates me to skip workouts or do a half-*** job at them.

You have short arms though!!!

Wow that's pretty good. I got my body weight (165) yesterday. Looking to get my max to 185 before we stop weight training.

had weight training for the first time in a month today... felt like **** (i hate not long enough before my workout because i woke up late) but performed well. i did not lose an ounce of strength during the break. heck i may have gotten stronger because all i did was a bunch of explosive pushups (plyometric pushups) at ten a set and did that until i was tired. my balance was kind of off on bench. i did 155 as my max, it was a HUGE surprise to me. really, really did not feel like doing squats today because (a) i was extremely sore everywhere in my legs before the workout and ( because i ate too late before my workout and was about to puke after every lift. i still did ok because i maxed out at 225.

great to hear you're doing well

I did some plyometrics yesterday and my left leg is way sorer than my right leg... I did: Depth jumps (to box jump) - 25 at 24", 25 at 28", and two sets of 25 at 32". I got a couple of chopat straps which helped my knees absorb contact. Stair jumps (only calves) - 20 sets of 10 Shuttles - 5-10-10-10-10-5 to running up stairs. Ten sets. Shuffles - 5-10-10-5. Ten sets. This was kind of useless.

Yeah, and the knee crack is at me...

Or we blame not doing upper body exercises because of "shoulder problems." :rolleyes: Some idiots blame their problem on "patellar tendinitis." :rolleyes:

Swimming?

Exercise.

i came up with a great idea today. yesterday, i was wondering what i could do to jump on to a higher platform than what i have for box jumps... then BAM today i wondered if my ******* former stepdad had left any of his remodeling materials behind, then i go to the garage and notice he had left a plethora of sturdy wood that i could use. now, i've just got to use simple engineering to build this thing. i'm thinking i'll be making it about three feet tall.

well, he gave us playbooks yesterday so i shouldnt be worried.
