That actually makes a lot of sense. Just need to decide beforehand if I am gonna do them at all, but that should be doable  | ||

I swear everytime i go to put one on it fits worse than before (legs and lats/shoulders getting too big lol) Just bought a bunch of dress clothing, such a pain in the ass because none of it is athletically tapered for V shape and my legs are always too tight and waist too loose. I barely fit into my favorite suit now which was perfect for skinny zatic :-( Like 2 more months and my legs will bust through that. Damn getting new suits will be such a pain. It was hard enough finding good suits being rather short, now the leg problem comes on top. | ||

Also, can't you buy a decently fitting suit and then go to a tailor? Taking a few inches off the pants can't be hard for a professional. Also, turns out the fatigue is solved by a girl haha, haven't been grinning this bad in years. My feet litterally cannot stop moving. That means workouts may continue :D EDIT: Also also also, I'm just an obvious foreigner  | ||

This problem is even worse when you're short... 16" neck at 5'8" means any regular shirt/jacket on rack either won't let me breathe or is made for a short fat guy -_- Next suits I get will have more spent on tailoring than the suit itself I think.

I'm at 195x3x5 (although I think I strained my shoulder doing it) and like 100lbs behind your squat/deadlift. But then like every high school/college kid that knows nothing about programming, I've benched significantly more than any other compound exercise in the past. | ||

and did they squat/bench/power clean? or why couldnt you work out there as well! I find that having some ladies around is pretty motivating! just ask funkie, he always gets hit on in the gym (and everywhere else as well because he is boss) | ||

There was like 10 ladies, 50+ years of age working with a personal trainer and they closed the alcove while they all took it in turns to work out how to use a new pulley machine my gym wasted some money on. | ||

What are your computer's specs? It's probably because you don't have enough memory or you don't have a good enough graphics card (possibly both). | ||

Theres probably a TON of excercises to work all your muscle groups, do i have to pay attention to them all and do them? Im really new to this, any helping direction would be great! Ive also just started to run 3-4 times a week sometimes 4-5 / week. | ||

Ive also just started to run 3-4 times a week sometimes 4-5 / week. I'm no expert, but SS is a very strong full body workout. Also you need to lose the idea of muscle tone, there is muscle and there is not. 'Tone' comes from having muscle mass and a low body fat %. In the OP there are loads of good links to help you find the routine for you, and nutrition guides. | ||
