Neo, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Also, try relaxing your arms (not your grip) just before you pull it. Just think of them as ropes attached to your shoulders that just pull and catch the weight. Funkie...Congrats on reaping the benefits of a lot of hard work I love it when a girl appreciates my tree trunks legs and solid back ^_^ (abs and biceps overrated imo)Energies stick with it or i will find you and smash you over the head with a barbell. Had a light workout today since i got off early, OHP 3x5 @ 165 (this was my max in spring lol), PowerClean 3x5 @ 185, and bench 5x5 @ 225. Dinner was half a pound of %4 fat ground beef in pasta sauce. My mom is like "where the fuck is your pasta?" PALEO MODE GOGO | ||

Rules for travel are all expenses paid, regardless of whether it's a bottle of moet or a $100 steak. I really won't have time to prepare food or go shopping so my goal for most of the two weeks, with exception of perhaps the weekends is to pick the healthiest thing off the menu and don't drink, at all.. >____________< $100 steak everyday sounds pretty good IMO. | ||

Just a quick question to all lifting gods.. Do you guys warm up? I remember on SS (videos and book) it said somewhere that it was adviced to warm up before doing your work sets and that it should be 3 to 4 warmups sets then your worksets. For example, in Squat I warmup like this: 65kg x 10 75kg x 5 85kg x 5 95kg x 5 (last warmup set) 105kg x 3 x 5 (worksets). Is this any good in terms of warming up? I feel super comfy when doing these, and specially the last one prepares me for the fucking 105kg squatting, which is like when I'm done, I feel like "fuck yeah bitches". Waiting on input on this. <3. | ||

Waiting on input on this. <3. They have a pretty detailed recommendation for warm-ups on the Starting Strength Wiki: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:The_Program Go down to this section: "How do I warm up properly for my training sessions?" | ||

Waiting on input on this. <3. SS has a warmup calculator here So SS would have issues with your warmup because you are doing a lot of work at 85 and 95kg. The suggested warmup only has a couple reps at the weights close to your work weight- it looks like the following: 45lbs x 2 x 5 (this is the weight of the bar, don't know how many kg sorry )[more weight] x 1 x 5 [more weight] x 1 x 3 [almostworkweight] x 1 x 2 [work weight] x 3 x5 So it's getting your body used to the work weight, without using too much energy to keep from doing the work you're supposed to do edit: ninja'd | ||

http://www.californiastrength.com/olwete.html watch the videos!!!! There is also flexibility exercises for getting your elbows up neco. Just remember to drive your elbows up at the catch. Fast rack position = better ability to catch heavy weights | ||
