VERY EASY TO USE AND AT ONLY 6 MINUTES A DAY, ITS EASY TO MAKE THE TIME FOR A REGULAR SHAKE, THERE ARE DEFINITELY IMPROVEMENTS IN MY ARMS AFTER A MONTH
it didnt do what i thought it would
bit heavy
If not careful can hit yourself in chin or face when shaking
Waste of money - isn't as 'simple' as portrayed and needs much more effort than it advertises. Very misleading advertising.
its working her bingo wings are going.
haha majin , i always get anxious after a few sets thinking "damn have i done 1 or 2 already??"
My university finally got the barbells. Its really sweet equipments, at least 8 olympic barbells and everyone is a sissy so no one uses them.
My goal by mid July is to deadlift 200kg(440.92pounds) and bench press 120kg (264pounds) at 70kg/165 pounds.I'm sure i'l nail the deadlift easily, prolly more, not sure I can bench that though.
Its kinda crowded and I find kinda painful to watch most peoples atrocius form at everything (swinging curls, bench pressing while looking to the side, etc), but I can finally DL and I fucking love it.

In the past I've taken it with chewable dextrose tablets they market for diabetics--worth it or better to just take it straight?

Don't think it matters either....
Insulin spikes itself aren't bad... it's when there's fructose and O6 and other processed junk you get the problems in combination with insulin spiking
Potato eating cultures like the kitivans (70% carbs from potatoes in their diet) don't get heart disease and all that stuff.
Yeah...I'm saying taking something to spike insulin with the creatine on empty stomach. It used to be that was all the rage (CELL TECH YEAAAAAAAAAAH BRA), but I wasn't sure if there was anything definitive on whether or not it actually helped or only shortened the loading phase.

Anyway, what exactly should be wrong with your numbers? You are just getting started, things have to sort themselves out first. Just increase by 5lb every workout and see at which lifts you will struggle first, and then you slow down there. It's that easy.
Increasing the weight of Barbell Rows by 15 pounds between to workouts is just a terrible idea, and increasing the press by 10 is not good too. Please just believe us, weights will get challenging soon enough. And you don't want to be stalling after 5 weeks. You want to go at least 3 months with constant progress, increasing weights that much is not gonna accomplish that. As long as it is easy, just focus on form.
I mean you don't need to feel bad. Everyone is making the same mistakes in the beginning, I surely have. It would just be so much easier for yourself if you would just listen. There is really nothing ambiguous in "add 5lb every workout" (only 10lb at Deadlifts and maybe squats in the beginning, not on any other exercise).
I think that's logged on a weekly basis, he took the max of all of sessions he did in a week.
That was what I was reffering to. Also, I looked at the "Daily" page of the spreadsheet which was in line with the quoted post, but now the numbers are different from when I looked this morning. Well it's just really none of my business. My advice would stay the same, regardless of how his work-outs really looked like.
I'm just fudging the early two to be honest. Didn't keep track well at all.
I was talking about over time regarding exercises. I didn't feel much doing it previously.
I'm curious if anyone here has expertise on rotator cuff injuries. I injured mine several months ago and I've been stupid enough to train through it. I was doing a 4-day split but removed the shoulder workout, which helped a bit actually, but the pain was still there.
I've done some rotator cuff exercises and I felt the burn, however I'm not sure whether or not it helped with the recovery or not because it hurts slightly more the following day. When I do this exercise, it actually bothers my shoulder and I cannot do the full ROM. I also hear popping and clicking noises when I try to move my shoulders.
Could this be something serious or do I just need to give it plenty of time to rest?
Haha i ran into this girl again who's a nutrition major and tells me that i eat too much protein and fat, and my kidneys will give out from trying to process all the protein and i'll die early. Dear god what has happened to this world.
Sick squat...i cant even imagine squatting 100kg more than i can now
heard back from the oly lifting club I contaced a few weeks back. gonna call the president tonight and see what they can offer i'm also contemplating getting into rugby.. I just wanna DO MORE manly stuff

If you can't get heavy weights, you should check out stronglifts first, which is a 5x5 program instead of 3x5. But definitely look into buying more weights or checking into a gym, since you will need to push yourself! What weights do you have now?
Ab work isn't necessary for a beginner. If you're skinny, every workout in SS will increase your ab strength even if you don't feel it. If you're overweight- or not even overweight, but are going for a six pack- getting abs is a matter of how you eat and lowering your bodyfat percentage. Pretty much the only time you should actively try to add ab work into your routine is if it's your weak point and you need a stronger core for sports. But again as a beginner, not something you need to worry about.
I will be doing a two day split program where it has squats on one day and pushups(with weights) and ab crunches on the second followed by a day of rest.
It says to increase weight by 5 pounds(2.2kg) every workout. That seems pretty ridiculous to me.
And by ab work i just mean some ab crunches and leg raises and 1hand/leg planche excercises. My weights arent much (10kg>) but i do alot higher reps because i am still young (15-16 years old) and i heard it stuns your growth if you do weights with any less than 20-25 reps with 3-5 sets.
So my question is '' have any of you done a workout like mine or just done any simple weighted calisthenics andgot good results?'' P.s Hahaha i seem like such a pansy compared to you guys ):

false. hormones are the only thing that affect growth. weight lifting has no impact on it.

Yes, I've never seen a credible source say otherwise. A myth indeed.

If it weren't 4am, I'd try to find sources to show you that heavy lifting "stunting your growth" is a myth.
Increasing by 5 pounds per workout is not ridiculous if you are an absolute beginner. SS recommends 10 pounds per on squats, until you hit a wall, then reset and go up by 5.

Edit:i am doing a standard pyramid workout with pushups- no weights-3kg-5kg-8kg-no weights for cool down.
And lol yea just found out about growth stuns during weight lifting is a myth after googling.
