However I am kinda stuck in deciding what I should do, this SS sounds like a pretty good place to begin but I have an issue that I want to fix before getting stronger/ripped. Most of my body is pretty fat free however, after years of drinking and not exercising, I have a rather extreme belly! Any of you more experienced people have any advice on whether I should stick to mainly doing cardio and strict eating restrictions (what i am doing currently) with a side order of strength work, or will SS etc be just as effective? Thanks all. Stay pumped! ps: by extreme I mean it is fairly extensive..(i can hide it normally cause im fairly tall at 6,2 but i wanna be more naked!  ) | ||

strength training is obviously very good as well, i don't know if it's as effective as rowing, but it'll jolt your metabolism, and I think you'll burn calories even hours after your workout (not sure about this) losing belly fat is not that hard, just make sure you create a deficit between input and output over a period of time | ||

Can anyone say when a ton of volume like the above is good? Hypertrophy for advanced lifting is what I would assume, but I haven't looked into it yet. And if you're asking about exercises to make you taller... pretty sure that's impossible :/ | ||

Some people just have naturally good values. My dad for example has ridiculously high values, his bloods ability to transport oxygen is that of an elite athlete and he's 60 years and have been smoking since he was 12 lol. He also had better values than two of his colleagues, both of them are like 25 and work as personal trainers. The world can be funny sometimes. | ||

If you're looking to find a good routine to start to either lose weight, get strong, or gain muscle then you should know I put all of that in the OP. We pretty much recommend Starting Strength as a routine for this because it will help in all those aspects. If you have no access to weights then the link I put in the front about bodyweight strength training will work as well in conjunction with some HIIT if it can be performed safely. Also, in terms of losing fat diet is going to be about 80-85% of the equation, and I put information about that in the original post as well. Check it out. Same with a lot of other good recommendations. Basically, read the OP! And then post if you have questions. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/XNl1yl.jpg) Aumingjar means weaklings Did week 7 of the Coan/Philippi routine. Ramped up to a deadlift of 197,5kg x 2. The same weight as week 4 and then I only managed 1 rep, so I'm super happy about nailing it. Camera cuts off after 30 sec but I locked the last rep. Did a set of 150kg x 3 after and then just laughed at what was perscribed: 3 sets of 165kg x 3 with 2 min rest intervals. That is just madness. 2 sets of Power Shrugs: 125kg x 5 and 135kg x 5 (those felt very nice) 3 sets of Stiff-legs: 120kg x 5 and some weighted pullups. Watch out Decaf! I'm coming for you | ||

I went to dicks sporting goods store up the road to look for chalk and check out weighlifting shoes. they didnt seem to have any shoes and there was no chalk, i found a rosin bag in the baseball section with the bats and picked it up. Rosin the same as chalk or should I find the right shit somewhere? many more dumb questions to come im sure~ Uhhh, it will probably work but it might make the bar pretty sticky. It will increase friction though which is what you want. Chalk is to cut down the sweat which decreases friction and makes it easier to lose grip | ||

Just got done doing deadlifts for the first time. Harder than I expected TT, my body reacted the same way as it does to a fairly decent session of HIIT lol. | ||
