Everyone naturally got a stronger side. Obvious, you should strive for being equally strong with both sides, but don't adjust your posture for it. When lifting heavier weights, the posture and technique is important. It may not be very noticeable for the weights you currently use, but it will be later. So don't teach your body to use a bad posture. It's better to adjust it with exercises where the sides work independently.
I used to run three miles a day, six days a week back in California (I'm a girl). It was AWESOME. And I ate ridiculously healthy (no red meat, no soda, controlled sugars). Never felt better in my life. Then I moved to Oregon, where the humidity made it harder to jog- so instead, I took all-day bike rides and took up rock climbing (you haven't lived 'til you've rappeled sixty feet over an overhanging cliff edge!)
Now, I live in Florida. It's disgustingly hot and humid ALL the time, I get honks and creepy guys when I jog here, and there are NO HILLS so bike riding isn't even exercise. Not to mention, no rocks to climb! No wonder the South is so overweight. I'm getting fat. Can't wait to move back up north, only 4 more months!

I'll see you your 60' cliff and raise you 220' into a dry riverbed... Australian not Swiss.

Static owns you.
I think this may have something to do with our delicious food as well.
I've been pretty fit most of my life, but since I started college I've slacked off. I really haven't gained any weight, but my endurance is way down. I've been trying to get back into a routine, but there are so many distractions in school.
Has anyone ever tried the P90X ab workout? Thoughts?
Nice! Hard to find stuff like that here.
And Pkmn Breeder Jack: This is true- though all I ever eat is my own awful cooking, 'cause I'm stingy.
5 reps 135 lb is very little.
Did you count the reps being 10? Because that does sound like enough to me! You wouldn't want to overdo something anyway.
No. He wrote 5 reps.
Maybe for minimal sets but somewhere around set 7 or 8 for a smaller/lighter person it will get... interesting.
Only for smaller/lighter people though.
It's only 5 light reps. So it doesn't take a lot of endurance the first 10-20 sets.
You move around a lot. Rock climbing in Oregon had to be awesome.

My friends have tried it and it works, but they also did the whole program not just that.
He said it was a burnout, that's little weight, a lot of reps.
Running and bike riding are just as good for your body. Not everyone is going to lift.
Sure did! Went to 8 different high schools, and I've lived in about 20 different states. Each has its pros and cons, but my least favorite is Florida, so far. Favorite: Denver, CO, Oregon, and PA (because it's pretty).
To make this not entirely off-topic, I enjoy weight lifting, too. But I feel that endurance training has better long-term effects for me. Plus, as a girl, I'll always be outclassed by guys and that's a little disheartening. Of course, any kind of exercise is fantastic! Kudos to girls who weight train!

no, we do as many as we can then take a 5 sec break then continue to do as many as possible and so on until we get 50. btw i forgot to mention this, but after that we do 50-70 hyperextensions with 25lbs attached. 45 with the weight, then 25 without. you wont be able to walk for a while after doing that much.
if you dont know what hyperextensions are, its basically the opposite of situps. instead of facing up and going up, we face down and go up.

lol its football and im a lineman. on the line, if both players skill are equal, then strength will prevail. lineman have to be, and are much stronger than the rest of the positions.
5 sets of 10 reps, my bad. He's either really short or really scrawny.
I got back into light workouts recently, but my diet and sleep habits still need to change.
