I actually had trouble breathing because I was laughing so hard at this. This is awesome - thank you for this.
Focusing on "the perfect workout program" is a waste of time and effort. Go do some big lifts, recover, do some more, do some sprints, occasional longer distance, swim, do yoga/tai chi, gymnastics - focus more on what is important to you but hit everything every so often.
Be good to your joints, warm up, stretch, be cautious with fad workout programs. While I love CrossFit and believe they're doing great things for many people, I'm predicting 10, 20, 30 years from now many CrossFit athletes will be struggling with shoulder joint issues (kipping pullups/muscle ups) among other problems caused by their workouts.
About the being banned in competitions most of those "natty" competitions are not drug tested, they just make you sign a paper that you swear you are natural.
I would try to look for a cross fit gym.Ok so what suggestions do people have for a gym? I understand that planet fitness is not for lifters. But just for a more sports performance focus

Just don't go to this one.
Look at my post on things to look for on a gym. BTW are you a male or female?They are quite spendy,
Also I'm concerned because of the amount of damage I have done and will continue to do on my joints, back, and shoulders playing rugby. I need a good off season training regimen, not to destroy my body any further lol
So for we can keep this thread a lil about pre-med/med student related. Always listen to your resident. +1 @KnuxNoleDefinitely go to Planet Fitness. They have PIZZA PARTIES and DOUGHNUTS. F*** yeah!

Really? One of my female classmates played Rugby in college.Look at my post on things to look for on a gym. BTW are you a male or female?
Edit: Never mind. Don't take this offensive, but I never heard of females playing rugby. That's cool.
Yeah, dude. I have only heard of women's soccer, softball, basketball, swimming, and tennis.Really? One of my female classmates played Rugby in college.

@touchpause13 - Check out the gym at your local Y, many suck but some are quite nice. My local Y is good for my needs and includes classes, pool, hot tub etc for cheaper than other gyms in the area.
I'm actually trying to drop size/fat and have a men's physique body, but I don't know yet. Sometimes I do want to end up staying big or bigger (I wear 2XL shirts) but then I want a body with aesthetic look for sports and the ladies lol. In addition, the heavy drug use that goes into bodybuilding I don't know if I want to go through all of that.

If you think CrossFit Albany is bad, you should check out CrossFit Southie:
Been there done that. IF doesn't mix well with bodybuilding.Try IF, good results if you're trying to cut your body fat.
She has slightly better form atleast. Pretty ridiculous though

How do bodybuilders usually cut?
You ready?How do bodybuilders usually cut?
Good job on the running.Working my way up the mile markers with a running buddy from work; we've run two 5ks in the last 2 months (which is crazy for me since the most I ever ran at once before this fall was a mile!). We're planning on doing an 8k in March and a 10k in April (plus a lot of fun 5ks like the color run in June); there are a lot of cool races in the Chicago area. I was a sprinter swimmer in high school, so this whole running thing is new and exciting for me.
Oh and I'm spoiled by my gym; my work (part of a university) has an attached fitness center & it is awesome. 2 levels, nice track, more weights than you could dream of, fitness classes, multiple pools, saunas/steam rooms/hot tubs in the locker rooms, etc.

Gotta make the time.Any time to lift in medical school?
You ready?
- Diet: Carb cycling, no carbs, and ketogenic diet. Personal diets made by their nutrition coach, like different days they will get different macros to eat for the day.
- Anabolic steroids.
- Human growth hormone.
- Peptides (IGF-LR3)
- Thyroid drugs (T3)
- Oral steroids (Anavar and winstrol)
- Cardio (low intensity)
I'm sorry for the n00b questions, but what is cuts?
Good job on the running.
I was the Lenny Krayzelburg of my H.S lol
So I am right there with you on the newbie running front.
You're from Chicago? That's awesome! You ever run out towards the Adler and just admire the skyline on your run back?
What university is this, and do they have a medical school? PM me if you don't feel like broadcasting where you work
Thanks! After being a sprinter for most of my life, it definitely feels like quite the accomplishment haha.
Not sure I get the reference?
Yep, and actually both of the 5ks I've run were in/around Grant Park so I definitely got to admire the beautiful skyline. Have not run from the Adler but that's a great/cheap place to park the morning of races nearby haha.
Would rather not say since I already gave out its general location, but yes it has a medical school.
Maybe I was thinking of the Shedd....
Lenny Krazelberg....US Olympic Backstroker from the 2000's....maybe Athens was his last Olympic Games? Could have possibly been in Sydney as well - I doubt he was at Beijing.
I run on a treadmill - I cannot pace myself outdoors...but the medical school I may be going to has a gym at the top of a high rise that gives an incredible view of the city. I can't tell you which city though because this will pretty much give the school away womp womp
Are you squatting with the bar on your traps (high bar) or slightly below? If the former, I think that you're putting the weight of the bar on your hands as opposed to your traps. The easiest way to fix this is to ensure that your hand is in line with your forearm throughout the movement. Or, use a false grip (thumbs around)

Who knows. MAny time to lift in medical school?
HIIT is awesome too, but these guys are 250-260 onstage their weight is too much to handle HIIT.Why do you say low intensity?
I thought HIIT was the way to go for cuts?
I haven't wore jeans in a year. I'm endomorph so I feel yah. That's why I don't know if I can have the body like this dude http://media.muskuli.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Alex-Carneiro-3.jpg No matter what I will alway have a stocky body.yeah exactly, it always comes down to what's more aesthetically pleasing around these parts, and you'd be hard pressed to find someone who's more cut up and bags more chicks than one of my brothers hahaha. problem is my body type is naturally bigger, so maintaining my current look takes more work. big man bodybuilding is just too much for me in the opposite direction.
also feel your pain with the clothing. i went to get my suit tailored recently for a party. 34 waist, 44 jacket. awkward
