If your goal is to get stronger (and you have been lifting longer than two months) and you refuse to wear a belt, you are a fucking idiot. | ||

However, it is generally not necessary unless you are going to do some other exercise shortly after, and for weight loss / limiting fat gains I wouldn't touch the stuff Pretty much this. If you're trying to bulk sugary carbs + protein + fat = really good post workout. That's why choco milk is effective. If you're trying to lose weight then you're gonna want to stay away like the above. On January 19 2011 23:02 ShAsTa wrote: Breakfast cereals are bad, right? Even stuff that's supposed to be healthy like Special K? Yes sir. Avoid processed foods. | ||

I don't feel like I need one, but it's better to buy one just to be safe when the time comes, and to have one around for when the douchefucks of the gym always tell me "You're lifting too much, use a belt, you're gonna get injured". Damn their Romanian Deadlift and they pussySquats. | ||

Damn their Romanian Deadlift and they pussySquats. I'd then buy one that is equally broad the whole way around, like a so called powerlifting belt. | ||

I'm 20 years old, 168cm tall, last time I checked I was 67kg. I just started doing squats and deadlifts not very long ago. Eventually I would like to do power cleans but for now I think I'm gonna stick with these... (no specific weight gain goals) current squat: 65kg press: 60kg overhead press: 40kg deadlift: 70kg barbell row: 50kg pull ups: 8~10x3 aiming for squat: 120kg press: 80kg overhead: 60kg deadlift: 130kg barbell row: 70kg pull ups: 12x3 pics! + Show Spoiler + front ![[image loading]](http://i55.tinypic.com/24g36sy.jpg) back (one of my traps is bigger than the other) ![[image loading]](http://i56.tinypic.com/2ynf4us.jpg) | ||

I'd suggest Squat to like 120kg and deadlift to 2x your BW. ;p (that's what I did bro) ;D | ||

Eat plenty, do SS and get stronger  Size will follow. | ||

Deadlift 1x5 @ 305 Squats 5x3 @ 225 Clean 3x5 @ 135 I wasn't too tired after my cleans so I decided that I would just keep going up in weight until I failed. Got up to 160 then couldn't hit 165. | ||

I don't think you should be worried about a weight goal in the near future. If your focus is on eventually powerlifting, you should really focus on understanding and lifting with good form first. For example, Squats, what kind of squats are we talking about? Ass to grass or just 90 degree? If you want to power clean and power clean well, you will need to have deep back and front squat forms. Not to mention flawless deads. As for 5x5, the 5x5 rep scheme is tricky. For weight gain, you'll need to find a 5 rep weight that you can do ONLY 5 reps of. You will struggle to complete 5 for every set. That can be difficult if your form isnt rock solid. I suggest you start with higher rep schemes with less weight to really understand your body how it works each lift, then slowly work down to the 5x5 scheme. Developing a good foundation is always better than seeking impressive numbers. | ||

Developing a good foundation is always better than seeking impressive numbers. The point of beginner weight programs such as 5x5 and SS is that you pick a weight you can handle 5 reps of with perfect form that isnt too heavy and make linear progression. Deadlifting/squatting form is relatively easy you just need to DO it. Having someone else watch your form/recording it, and watching videos/other people with proper form can help a lot. | ||

Bench feels really weird after tucking in my shoulder blades, but I think I am getting the hang of it pretty quickly. Because I was doing so little weight, I felt terrible after the workout, it's as if I had tons of energy that couldn't get used. I might go back later tonight and do some cleans when the gym is more empty. | ||

) demanding sport for some time might relate.The problem is twofold, the first part is easier since I believe I know the reason behind that one but the second one is a little trickier. First one is the damned headache I get after playing at max capacity for a long time. It is not limited to a specific area of the head, just the whole of it. I believe that is because of low blood sugar and/or dehydration. The other...is slightly more uncomfortable. You know the nauseous feeling you get after some time like your stomach is cramping up and you just keep on going with the workout? Then in the end when the practice is over the only thing you can do is lie down, sweat and hold your stomach....and when you feel you can stand up and make your way to the bathroom you *almost* clog the toilet with a shitstorm. I just had an episode of the latter one today. | ||

Makes or breaks a lift for me at least. | ||
