Toni probably has you trying to keep your HR much lower than you're used to. That's gonna be kinda hard on a spin bike. Just keep trying different things, and you'll find the torture device that works best.

Don't feel at all bad about being weak for your workout. Very few things will take it out of you like 3.1 miles at "race pace". I wouldn't even be able to lift after that...big props for that. That stationary bike sounds fuckin' cool too, I might actually want to do cardio if my gym had stuff like that. All in all, I'd say you've already had a VERY productive day. What was your time by the way? You can PM it to me, if you'd like ;)

"Race pace" has absolutely nothing to do with time or speed. Race pace is all about effort.

...or not to squat. That is the question.

I'm looking for some noticeable definition in my legs...and most of the advice I've gotten is to do high rep stuff...I don't feel comfortable doing high rep sets of squats as I feel my form starts lagging...

Is it okay to do leg press and hack squats instead? I mean, I'm not trying for a huge squat number right now...

...I really just don't wanna lose respect because I ain't squattin'! Hahah...=D

if your lookin for def then i can see your point on the high rep squat i know i start to lose it but for def i would go with leg presses cause i had some sick def when i laid off the squats for only a little while like month and half did leg press leg ext and leg curls and ran alot

Yeah...I remember doing 90-rep leg squats (18 wide, 16 normal, 14 narrow, 16 wide, 14 normal, 12 narrow - 5 sec max rest between) for 2-3 sets...that was painful...I may throw in a couple sets of squats just to keep my numbers from getting too pathetic...but again, not my focus...

...and definitely going to be working on my run. My running endurance sucks...it's funny though, because I can do pretty much any other kinda cardio at a high heart rate for long periods...something about running and my breathing just fucks me all up!

That's 'cause you're not in "running shape". It's totally different than anything else. What else do you do that you carry your whole body weight, and turn your legs over as fast as possible? Nothing. The only thing you can do to run faster, is run. As for definition in your legs...LUNGES. With weight, without weight, whatever, just lunge until you feel like you're gonna puke.

I'm actually going to start throwing in a few sets of shrugs on both days. BB/DB one day, BB/HS the other. My gym has this Hammer Strength shrug contraption that feels really good. Maybe 8 sets total both days, as a superset or something. My shrugs are weak as hell, so the BB shrugs will be really low rep, 4-6, I'll hit the high reps with the other ones.

Most definitely true... But all that matters is that you did them and hit them hard. As we all know, numbers are nothing more than ego boosters... and the muscles don't give a damn what they say. Good days workout.

I know my day just isn't complete without that neon green liquid filling the urinal at work. I have been seriously slacking in the cardio dept. I'm setting a goal to get 6 hours of cardio in for the month of August.

Neon green?? You might wanna get that checked out...neon yellow, okay...but neon green!?!?!

That doesn't suprise me at all. Maybe the supps, the stims possibly are what is causing you to be tired. The stim crash can be terrible. I know in my past that even when I wasn't "on" a substance that I would still feel the crash and burn at times. Just a thought.

I believe, and this is just my opinion, that anything with stims can have an addictive affect on the body. And when that is removed the brain in particular craves it and reacts badly to that craving.

I am the same way with coffee. If I don't have some I get terrible headaches. But after 3-5 days they go away. But if I have a cup it just starts the cycle over again.
