Yesterday when I was staring my warm up sets of FS after I was done with my first set, my abductors started to hurt really bad. It was this discomfort pain. When I did my other sets, it did not bother me. It hurt when I was resting or cooling down. Any info on this? RICE it just in case? Thx | ||

I have been doing three sets of deadlifts every other day, however I have seen that most people do only one set. So I guess the question is should I only be doing one set or stick to doing three? | ||

Have been doing Squats every day while switching Bench and OH Press. Only just started doing Power Cleans last week and wish I started them earlier, but now rotating them with Deadlifts. Squats/bench/OH are getting raised 5 lbs every workout, while deadlifts are getting 10 lb increases. | ||

Too many people pussy out and don't do them, but they are actually a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. | ||

First, the lower back is large muscle, and it is involved in almost any moving that you do. It is also very slow to recover, so across multiple sets and at the end of the workout (where SS puts the deadlift) when the weight gets heavy, your form is going to break down. That's just the nature of the exercise. To minimize that, only do one set. Second, and again on recovery, the lower back and hamstrings are slow to recover from workout to workout. These muscles are utilized a fair bit in the squat and the powerclean as well, so if you go overboard on the deadlifts, you limit yourself during your next workout. Finally, the back is a very crucial, central body part. It's one of those things where once you can say "oh I have a bad back" it never really goes away. You don't want to take an unnecessary risk as a 20 year old novice lifter, and hurt your back, because that's something that will plague you for the rest of your life. If your weight is still REALLY low, and you're doing the three sets easily with perfect form, maybe keep doing that for a while longer, but soon you're going to want to drop back to the 1x5 formula that SS advocates. | ||

At the moment I'm doing pull ups with +20 pounds, 15/12/10 rep with little to no struggle. The problem arises when I switch to chin ups with +15 pounds, I have a hard time doing clean 10/8/6 rep, and there's almost no juice left to do a single 5 rep hammer pulls serie, even without extra weight. Any suggestion as to what to be optimal to manage some sort of endurance training on all 3 exercises without compromising results. Trying to steer clear of maximum strenght programs, they tend to put too much strain on joints and tendons (for me), getting an injury is not an option. | ||

I went in to test my current strength and didn't do a proper 5x5 just yet but my heaviest sets of the day: squats 5 x 242 Bench 5 x 165 Cleans 5 x 110 Arrgh, a lot of catching up to do.. There was a guy next to me squatting 297 and my brain is like "dude, you can do that no problem" but my legs are like "get fucked!" Also went for a 15 min run. Feel pretty good regardless. | ||

That is the lowest value I have ever had since diagnosed with diabetes mellitus 4 years ago, and I already cut back on my medication. If I can continue eating and exercising like this for a couple more weeks, I can probably get rid of those stupid pills altogether.

107.5kg squat (hard; sloppy form on a few reps, 3-4 breaths between reps at times) 60kg OHP (BAAAAAAAAAD fail) 6-4-3 pull ups (last week I did 8-8-7) I felt OK enough when I walked into the gym, but I guess those squats really took it out of me. I'm going to increase to 110 next session because I managed 3 sets of 5 reps, but I see a 10% reset in my near future. Malinor: that's awesome. I've heard quite a few things about extremely low calorie diets/paleolithic diets curing diabetes completely, and it's amazing how efficiently it seems to work. | ||

FML!In September 2010 i started with 95kg on 169cm (a freaking lot i know) doing some exercices. First month i did essentially fitness training to get a better airflow into the body. I remember doing 2min on the treadmill and almost dieing..after the first two weeks of pain in the muscles due to the acids it started to get better and i started to push harder for myself. On the following months i started doing some weight lifting, initial plan i was doing overall exercise on the body just for it to get used to. In December i had multiple broken ribs during a robbery so i had to stay put for 1 and a half month which was a bitch since i was loosing some weight and getting hyped about it. When i got back i started doing other weight lifting exercices and by muscle groups as follows: Legs / Shoulders Chest / Tricep Back / Bicep After i hit 80kg i was getting demoralized since i wasn't loosing any weight for a month. I decided then to start doing some RPM exercices and also got myself into Muay Thai where my neighbour trains. Now i just changed jobs and am looking for a new gym near the new job spot but the nearest one will be closed during august At the moment im on 73.8kg (lowest i got was 72.5 but i had to stop a bit due to some personal problems and regained weight freaking fast) As for my meals i stoped doing any fast food meals and started doing some fruit salads and soup once in a while and alot of grilled fish and white meat. (but once in a while...hell im only human) So yeah now im 73.8kg on 169cm (still short guy damn )My questions are: Should i have done something diferent? Do you guys have any helpful tips for that i could use for trying to get the rest of my body into shape ? Thanks | ||
