CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Actually, I decided to change up my workouts again. I'm still doing the push pull exercises, but I have to lay off the leg stuff. My legs are really muscular, so it'll be ok for a couple weeks not lifting for them. My massage therapist says I still need to do a much better job than I'm doing with the stretching. The hams and calves are super tight, despite my stretching. This is causing me problems.
So, what I will do is work upper body and abs, but I will use the Swiss ball and the Bosu ball to help me better develop my core muscles. What I'll do is take my regular workouts, like bench flies and use the swiss ball instead of the bench.

Sat:
Bi's and other misc stuff i didn't have time or energy to do during the week
Sun:
Rest
I do 3 sets of each excercise except the occasional drop or super set. I do about 3-4 excercises per muscle group depending on muscle size. So in a given workout for one muscle group i'm looking at 9-12 sets. For a 3 set excercise i do a 10, 8, and 6 rep range. I think this is the best mix for bodybuilding.

Just changed mine to accomodate my schedule. I had to simplify big time, so now it's:
day1: Squats/Upright Row
day2: Deadlift/Bench Press
rest a day, start over. Each excercise is superset, 10 sets of 10, with heavy weight, so I can't complete the sets. Just trying to ensure failure.
Also, I put my pull-up bar on my bedroom door, and I'm not allowed to walk past it without repping out. This means I'm doing pull-ups constantly sparatically throughout the week.
For abs, I took about 12 exercises, gruped them by similarities, and I'll roll dice or flip coins to randomly select four (one from each group) for that day's routine.
Jogging whenever I get the chance.

jd and i now do something called Deck of Card workout, here's the description i made up of it
Johnathon (jdw4jesus) found this site with a bunch of workouts, and on it there is this one called Deck of Cards. What you do is get a deck of cards, make a list of workouts, draw a card and whatever number it is, you do that many of the workout you're on or that many seconds of the workout you're on. For example if you were on workout push ups and you drew a 7, you would do 7 push ups. For leg lifts, we doubled the number we drew. So if we drew a face card (which are 10), we would hold a leg lift for 20 seconds. If we drew a red ace, it would be 11 times or 22 seconds, if we drew a black ace, it would be 1 time or 2 seconds. If you draw a joker, you hold for as long as you can or do as many as you can. Our workout list is the following:
Push Ups - Close and Regular Grip (Switch Off)
Crunches
Pull Ups
Lemon Squeezers
Neck Nods
Squats
Leg Lifts
If you have any questions about anything of the workout, Johnathon or I will answer

Does anyone know some good workouts I can do for my legs, back etc while at home? I don't have access to any place with a gym or anything, so igenerally just do crunchs, pushups, and flexes, since they're easy for me to do at home. But I don't want to develop those muscles, and forget the rest, and end up unbalanced. So I need some ideas for otehr workouts I can try and do. I have a bench press set to I can have fixed up in very little time if thet would help. Thanks!

Thats a good split.waterbear said:
If schedule permits you might think about pushing it a day like wednesday for recovery. 2 days on, one day off is a great way to go. I bet you're really sore by friday. I always felt exhausted if i did 5 days on.
