What is one of dumbest training ideas or days you've ever had?

When I was a junior in high school I wanted to get those Strength Shoes real bad, you know those shoes that promise to add inches to your vertical and seconds off your 40. Anyways, I sent for them at the end of July. The shoes finally arrived the day before 2/day practices for my High School Football practices. You guys can see where this is headed. I was so anxious to use those shoes, so I took them down to the track and did one of the scripted beginner workouts with them. I thought I would just do half the workout, but ended up doing the whole **** thing. My legs were sore as **** the next day, and pretty much for the next two weeks, as we had 2/day practices for 2 weeks after that. To make matters worse, I was a running back so my legs never got any rest. I ended up using the shoes the next year in the offseason, but never before 2/days, wtf was I thinking, I was an idiot.

I used to push my dads truck around the yard like a sled with my brother steering and I also used to throw and grip cinder blocks as well. Just a few weird things I did for football when I first started playing.

3 hour bench press and bench row workouts almost everyday ontop of cycling 10 miles a day, rowing three times a week, running once-twice, karate twice a week, alot of binge drinking ontop of that can you say overtraining? Ah to be 15 again :lol:

Starting Vale Tudo at 39yrs old!.. Yup, you don't have to be 15 to do stupid sh*t.

I used machines at the gym

Trained 20 sets for biceps

trained after a night of partying. went straight to the gym

Actually I trained under artillery fire and wouldn't bother to hit the bunkers.

LMAO! Were you at least wearing your kevlar?

thats dedication.

i bought a pair of jordans thinking i could dunk

i ate poop cuz some1 told me it was full of protein jk
actually the dumbest thing(it helped tho) i lit a small fire under my chest when i was 12 and forced myself to do 10 pushups, when i could only do 2-3

what about that "add 1" to your arms in one day" workout from musclemag or wherever? pure poop.

there's also the old standby winny-only (drinken of course) cycle along w/ 5,000 sets for biceps, chest, and abs that every toolbox fratboy from age 18-22 does.

Used to train for 5 hours/day in highschool. Those were the days.

Is that your good pal CJ's workout?

I had the bright idea to see how many times I could squat my bodyweight (85kg at the time).

I made it to 96 before I finally collapsed - I couldn't walk properlly for nearly 2 weeks....

:lol: oh hell yeah!!!!! cj in da 'house!!!

oh yeah for my own personal one is my homey and i used to lift every day, every bodypart like 3 hours a day when we were 16. that plan's got a third twenty-third chromosome- that's how retarded it is.

in high school all the weights/benches/machines that i wanted to use were being taken up by 140 lb kids... so i thought i'd be a nice guy and just knock my abs out and then after done doin those do the rest of my workout. i was doin cleans later... wow, i pulled an ab muscle (just one) and that fvcker hurt for a couple weeks

Used to train twice a day, one 2 hour session in the AM and a 3 hour session at night. Sick.

I play a lot of softball and my stupidest training idea is that I can start training every winter and stop once softball starts (because I'm playing 7 games/week). Every winter I'm just fighting to get back to where I was.
