B 5x3 squat 5x3 Overhead press 3x5 power clean
That's the original program as far as I've come to understand. Anything with chinups, pullups, dips, curls, special deadlifts, rows, etc. etc. is an alteration on the original for people who don't want to do something specific (Usually don't want to do power cleans)/
Thanks a bunch Phyre. Wanna make it a little derby? Post results after every session >:D
Guys, im 17 and a half, should i start using some powders etc and vitamine pills beside my food? Or eating right food will give me enought everything.
Also, i just started fitday.com diary, it has been 5 days. And i have cut all cheap carbs i have been eating and i lost 95kg to 92.5kg in this time. Is this a starting shock and i will stop losing so much weight? I am not fat but not fit either so i think it will stop soon. I will weight myself tonight too and lets see if this has stoped allready.
Only weak go to gym...to get stronger, thats what i am doing

afaik weight losses will get harder when you get down to a more reasonable weight. If you are not lactose intolerant drinking a gallon of full fat milk as a supplement should be enough. Fishoil is suspposedly incredible, though.
Also the biggest monsters on this planet hit the gym. It's not like masturbation is enough to maintain a 700lb deadlift.

I wish we had a quotebook
I am like 200+ or 6 7" so 95kg is quite normal for me.
-e- weight now 91.7 thats 3.3kg off in 6days.. not possible?
Bunch of big guys did deadlifts with a shitload of plates on though, was pretty insane. Felt a bit weird to step up after them and do some of my own level deadlifts, but I got them done and wasn't intimidated. That's what matters to me!

lol I know how you feel. Went squatting yesterday even though the guy before me was reppin 240kg...just feels wierd.
@BouBou: You might want to add some mobility and prehab stuff before your squatting instead of the "long" warmup on the bike/rowing machine.

Of course it's possible, just don't believe that you just lost 3,3kg of fat in 6 days. Could be waterweight, could be whatever. The movement of the scale is accurate as a longterm-measurement, it doesn't give you accurate results on a day-to-day basis, especially when you just startet a new diet or training regime, and your body is adapting all over the place.

Almost 2 months ago!. Thought i should update it and continue to update. I am currently 62 kgs/135lb not sure how i only gained 1 kilo probably because of the once a week cardio. And i can do 3x15 push ups with 5 kgs on my back (very good and happy form) 3x40-50seconds of plank with 5 kgs on my hip/back. with nutrition- i am drinking about 4 litres a week(milk) and eating alot more meat(like 2-3 serves every 2 days)
Pecs are alot bigger, Triceps are abit bigger and my traps are bigger. Was hoping for bigger triceps/arms/shoulders but o well.
Found a new love for tricep bench dips ( cant do chair dips coz i broke 2 chairs already LOL) and handstands. I am pretty sure i can reach my goals of 8kg push ups 3x20 by september but i will leave them for wall handstands and bench dips to get BIGGER unless eshlow says otherwise lol.
New goals- 3x20 seconds handstands 3x10 8kg /17.5pounds bench dips. misc goals- ABS and get better at basketball.
This thread is full of inspirations/motivation and help for EVERYONE.!!!!

As stated, gains will continue but will get less.
It's kind of like the log function in math where big numbers will taper off

Why on earth would you like to weight so litle =(
Just to clarify in case you don't know - I'm a woman. So, I'm looking for the opposite of most of the guys on this thread ^_^ I think 5'11/65kg is still pretty hefty in some peoples' opinions? 5'11/79kg is practically a whale (at least for me personally.) I don't want to turn into some kind of obese lump by the time I'm 35.
Thanks for the advice guys :D I was probably eating a little bit too much tofu tbh (although eating it a long with small amounts of the wholegrain/wholemeal bread settled my digestive issues right down.) so I'll try and introduce a few different alternatives instead of just going for tofu every day. (Even if it tastes so good >.<)
@phyre112; Thanks for the vitamin recs. I have no idea where to start in the respect, but I feel like I should be taking some kinds of suppliments.
@eshlow; I find that eating a lot of simple carbs/cheese causes me the most problems. Also things like ice cream. It got much better once I started subbing it all out for limited amounts of cereal/brown bread and lots of tofu. I could definitely make things even healthier though.
If simple carbs are messing you up bread and cereals are honestly not much better.
Try to keep the tofu down in favor of real foods!
Seriously, there are studies which show increasing protein is all that is needed for weight loss in women.
But we want to get you some more healthy fats, cut down on the carbs, and eat enough proteins.

Planche uses almost all of the upper body muscles done correctly. Youwill probably mostly feel it in the anterior shoulders and chest though

Starting starting strength today, got my protein, creatine and fishoil stacked up, super crazy baller hyped. Gone through SS now, picked up a lot of stuff. Planning on doing: - 15 mins of cycling for first workout (or rowing) -5x2 warmup squats, 20kg (empty bar) 1 min rest - 5x3 squats, 50kg 1.30 rest -5x1 warmup bench, 20kg -5x3 bench press 40kg -5x1 warmup DL -5x1 DL 60kg Stretching + 10 mins skipping rope.
Plan on really, really getting that technique down solidly. 10kg increments on DL, 5kg on squat, 2.5kg on rest. Are these increments per training? (so 3 increments per week?) I did read SS, but english is not my native language. Cheers!
Yes, increase every training session. 10kg on DL might be a bit ambitious... usually its 5-7.5kg with DL and 2.5-5kg with the squat, and bench/press at 2.5kg
Rest 3-4 minutes between work sets!!! This is important.
Crossfit today, holy junk I'm out of shape. I managed a decent time, but the headache I got after is terrible, feel like I'm going to die. The workout was:
50 jump pullups 400M run 21 Thrusters (75 lbs) 800M Run 21 Thrusters (65 lbs) 400M Run 50 jump pullups
After 18 months living in hotels I have my own place again starting today. Finally off hotel breakfast buffet, I couldn't stand that shit anymore.
Suggest your favorite low carb recipe!
A question regarding recovering: Recently I have had a really bad time recovering from gym days for the squat. Seems like I can't do two consequitives sessions with increased squat, as my legs really feel sore still on the second day. One day rest just doesn't seem to be enough. I have not changed anything in the amount of sleep or nutrition I am having. What can I do to speed up recovery times?

15 mins to do, it wasn't pretty.
Be careful about jumping pullups man especially high repetition
In fact, that is waaaaaaaay too high volume to be giving someone their first day of CF. I personally would question the quality of trainers you have at the one you are going to.

Eat more (especially proteins), or sleep more
Post workout is definitely an option. YOu using whole milk? vitamin D? creatine?
You may just be nearing a plateau of your gains though. So it depends.
How is everyone doing? I'm just getting fat in Mongolia
Will be back in about a week though!

I had this problem too when I was following SS religiously. Eventually, I did about 80% on Wednesdays and only tried to make progress on Mondays and Fridays.

Zatic, be like decaf and bitch at your parents for better genetics.
:p!
Seriously, I had this problem, and I just did kept up with it. Shit is insane, and well, your legs will never be "top notch" after a hard day on a monday workout session (specially me that I like to go batshit and load 120kg on the bar ;D)
