(cant cook). is pineapple-orange juice not good as well? i can only drink water? | ||

However you should try and cut it out of your diet while losing weight. Water should be your main liquid intake. Read the nutrition links in the OP. They really helped my understanding of what constitutes a good diet. | ||

Here's why you look fat: You eat mcdonalds and spaghetti and probably white rice, and drink coke. It doesn't matter that your burger was 'only' 330 calories, 200 of those calories are probably empty (white bread has a lot of empty calories) and most of that crappy processed burger is just fat and processed ingredients. It doesn't matter if you eat below maintenance or above maintenance, if you are eating garbage with junk calories you will probably still be fat. Fix your diet, stop going to mcdonalds - or any fast food place for that matter. Stay away from pasta as well unless you get the healthy kind of noodles, and even then keep 'em limited. Cooking is easy, here's how you can do it: Get a grill. Turn grill on, put chicken on grill. Cook for 7-8 minutes, turn chicken over, cook another 7-8 minutes (this is for a thick piece of chicken). Should be cooked all the way through now. Congratulations! You cooked chicken! Vegetables: You can buy them raw, no cooking necessary. Or buy them in a can, drop em in a bowl, and microwave them. You'll find these days that most "side" foods (rice potatoes vegetables) can be cooked in a microwave. Can't cook isn't an excuse. You're telling me you can't follow simple directions on a piece of cardboard? I doubt it. | ||

Ok, those numbers seem pretty in line with what your pictures look like: You are just weak, didn't train heavy at all and just ate more than before. Best case scenario: You ran SS for 6weeks to get from 90lb squat to 145lb squat. Given that in the beginning you are supposed to increase by 10lb per session, that is like 6workouts max. If you did 5lb, that is at best 12 workouts... SS has 18 workouts in 6 weeks, so you did not train properly, not even close. And the above numbers are the best case scnenario for your best lift... don't even get me started on the other lifts. You are scared of deadlifts, stopped overhead because of cracking noises (WTF) and bench press like a 12 year old. No power clenas, no barbell rows. Your squat is ~1xbw, your bench ~0.6bw. Plus, you don't even remember your starting weights Here is the hard truth in one sentence: What you did was not training, but just eating more. | ||

And speaking of the soreness; I was very fatigued last time I lifted but figured I'd tough it out. After squats I felt like I could barely stand. And now two days later I still have soreness in my quads, which up to this point I have never had soreness in my quads after squatting. Was it just due to fatigue? Or because I lifted sore in other areas did I overcompensate and thus produce more stress on other areas. Also, I gotta get a scanner to show you guys these pictures I found. Was flipping through a random old photo album that my dad had out for whatever reason. Tons of old family photos from like the 1930s-1950s and shit. There a few of my grandfather lifting in his backyard. And by lifting I mean Oly lifts. There's one of him locking out a split jerk (it's pretty fuzzy though) and a real good one of him just smiling and (I presume) doing presses. | ||

I think back off squats are lower weight sets you take after your max sets. Example: Work up to the max set for squat 70/1 140/1 180/1 200/1 <--max 170/3 <--- back off set. @decaf yeah that snatch triple was sloppy lol. Do you have videos of your jerk? how does it look now? | ||
