Pushing yourself...

[Prissypants]

When you workout close to the point of either passing out or puking...

Just did that today and MAN...it was good!

Will over weakness!! :)

Ew. This isn't the first time i've heard a guy raving about this idea before, and I can't understand why either. Isn't that BAD for you? Why do you think pushing your body so physically hard that it gets angry with you and makes you sick is a good thing?

Listening to your body, not butchering it, is what keeps you healthy.

It's good for you.

If it ain't hurtin' it ain't workin'.

But seriously Lactic Acid will make you puke if you go too hard.

But the more you work out the more you'll learn to control it.

My gf's a personal trainer that's why I know.

Plus I work out.

But not since i got sick n' lost 20lbs, now I'm on MAMMOTH 2500 !!!!!!!!!!!!

2 weeks ago I went to the gym (just for cardio) and had a killer session, felt fantastic afterwards, couldn't wait to get back in there and do it again.

Haven't been since.

I don't understand me :(

For yourself.

Go hard for an hr, then hit the Sauna, jacuzzi, steamrrom and pool.

Nothing better than a real good workout.

Don't for get to bring a towel !

i do that, but usually only when i'm angry/upset.

i'm quite self-destructive, but i know i could be doing worse things than almost passing out/puking at the gym.

I try to make sure I accomplish this with any physical activity. Whether I'm enjoying a game of road hockey, pushing my limits at work by lifting heavy shit (but making sure not to pull something) or like you said by working out.

Just feels so good to feel your heart pumping hard and your lungs going at full speed. I notice that I become more mentally aware and posses clearer thinking when I exert myself.

before i used to work out until i puked. . . totaly unhealthy but i did jump from 135 - 180 in half a year with no steroids, any protein or basically any product bought at GNC (or any other healthfood store for that mattter ) with the exception of a fat burner. . . which didnt work as well as i'd hope :( buddha belly

Lay down on your stomach, then come up onto your elbows, keep your back straight, keep your elbows just in front of your shoulders, hold as long as you can, get up to 5 mins you'll have a mad six pack and hard ass obliques !

You can get higher from running/working out than drugs.

Runners get whats known as "runners high".

Thats why Arnold is all like "I go to the gym and I feel so good it's like I'm cumming !"

Why are conversations always related back to drugs when I am involved:(

[ash1ee]

cardio 'til you almost puke is a great feeling.

Hahah, true.

I don't consider avatars as representations of one's self, however. Is that wrong?

I'm 47 days completely clean, so I was just disappointed that that "reputation" still hangs around. I'm wrong if I think it will go away anytime soon.

^ you have a reputation?

Reputation of constant drug use...

Hmmm...If you do that all the time then yes, it is totally bad for you...However, once in awhile you should really push your limits so that you can expand them or see if you've improved. Yesterday I tried to do a workout that I used to do when I was in peak condition. I did it, but it hurt. (At least when I hit the wall I got my running high soon after) Serves me right for letting it slip a little...oh well, give me another month and a half and I'll be back to where I wanna be.

PS: When I used to coach, and when I used to run competition myself, it was the kids that pushed themselves that won the races, not the ones that only went until they were tired...
