I usually squat 2 or 3 times a week. If you're squatting 5 times a week, I gaurantee you're not squatting heavy.

My birthday is in a week and I'm at univ but don't know anyone.
Is it okay if I invite people from the gym I normally see to hang out with me at the bar for my 21st? We usually give each other nods and sometimes spot each other but rarely talk and never hang out.
How would /fit/ react if I invited you?

may as well try, just ask what they're up to and say you were gonna hit some bars up for your birthday
only problem is you'll kinda look like a loser when they realize they're the only people you invited.

The cop is just being a professional.

You force it down your throat and force feed yourself.
You think I got to 255 lbs of pure muscle without force feeding myself?

Non-/fit/ cellist here.
So I used to do my hours of practice without much attention to the order of the pieces being practiced. I tended to end suddenly, with really intense pieces with dramatic endings (like this: https://youtu.be/wijnBhSNTf8?t=5m58s where after I hit that high note at 6:13 I'd get up, put my stuff away and, you know, run to class). Often I'd be sore for the rest of the day and unable to practice as much because of it.
In order to avoid this I've taken to doing those intense pieces second-to-last, and then finishing with a slow piece (usually it's this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVyza9jzw18). I've noticed some improvement, but not much.
Is it the choice of piece? I mean, it is still kind of intense, just slow. And I'm aware this isn't ideal, so are there better cool-down techniques I can do in the cramped practice rooms at my college?

Do some kettlebell swings and turkish get ups. Cross training with basic strength moves will improve your general physicality. Everything will become easier.
>>
>>37791545
I'll definitely be looking into getting a kettleball after today
Is there anything I can do in the practice room after practicing, though?
>>
Horn player here, not sure how much of this carries over to strings, but the main thing I notice in OP is that you mention only practicing pieces. I would advice to put a lot more emphasis on long notes and slow practicing. For a trumpet player, a typical hour of practice will be 30 mins of long notes, 15 minutes of scales and intervals and then 15 minutes of actual playing from chart.
Also, don't practice the whole piece. Find the passage that you have most trouble with and study it at half tempo (horn players will also put it an octave down if the notes are high). When you nail it slowly (and low), play it at the actual speed and height just once or twice to make sure you got it. If not, back to half tempo.
Lastly, don't focus too much on strength, it's coördination you want. Of course having a fit body will help you stay relaxed, but over-developed muscles actually have a hard time performing subtle movements. Actually, if you get sore from playing, relaxing your posture might be more important than improving your strength. Hope this helps!

The shorter you are the better it is for body building, they just look nicer way faster.
For women anything under 6'2'' might as well be some guys bitch.
