Weighed between 205-210 6feet tall today :D so approximately 5 pounds in 12 days and i feel great. Did my first squats today, bar plus 2 45's setof10, then extra 10 on each side set of 8.
When i started i was doing weight reps all kinds of workouts of 14/12 but now decided to do 10/8 to exhaustion. Body weight exercises like pushups i do 16/14/12. When i hit 200 im gonna start trying to do pullups, they scare me.
1/2 times going to the gym i take a caffinene pill sometimes 100mg sometimes 200 to keep body guessing
Everything feels great, first time im really motivated in life for regaining my highschool physic. Anyone have tricks for falling asleep? When i go late sometimes and dont take my caffinene i have so much energy and so much blood rushing i feel like its very difficult to fall asleep so i take a few wisks of hard liquor to help me melt. Anyone tips on falling asleep?
regarding sleep:
Focus on your breathing, lie on your back and relax your body. Lengthen your body on inhale, and let your body melt into your mattress on exhale.

I see. Im interested in shoes specifically for back squat. I've looked around the web but can't find any. Do you (or others) have suggestion for stores in USA? I dont mind paying for top notch shoes.

Todays workout
Squat: 190lbs 3x5
bench: 95lbs ( seems like my shoulder is healing very good, there was only a little bit of pain.)
Deadlift: 255lbs x3 225lbs x3
chin ups: bw-6-5-5
leg raises: bw 3x10
calf raises: 210lbs 3x10 (did these on a machine and didn't feel like it did much)
random core work
i started to lose grip on the 3rd rep of 255lbs in deadlift, it was like the bar was making my hand open slowly so i had to get the bar down then i didn't think i should try more so i dropped the weight to 225lbs and did 3 more. I think i am going to have to lower the weight and work on my grip or find a new way to grip the bar. Also after doing my workouts lately even tho i struggle and its challenging to get do my workout done i dont feel like my muscles were actually worked out after. Ive been feeling like staying for an extra hour or so and doing other workouts just so i can feel like i did workout. Is there a reason i feel like this or should i stay and do other stuff till i feel like my muscles actually got some work done.

Shoes with heels help with ankle flexibility when squatting atg. I dont really know what is good for powerlifting though.

From what i'm getting, shoes with heels would be better for someone with my squatting: problems to hit full depth and very vertical shins during squats.

No alcohol, no caffein or other drugs to help you fall asleep. Just take big breaths and don't freak out if you'll have a tough night of two falling asleep when you stop the drugs, just be patient.
Also your caloric intake is really low, and as eschlow would love you tell you, grains ez nr 1 bad, so don't take that whole grain sandwich.
First non girl-blog advice post, I think..?

I do olympic style squatting and I prefer my heeled shoes above flat shoes by a mile. I had a nasty forward lean sometimes, and with the heeled shoes I don't lose my stability anymore, even if I don't push 100% through my heels, and reaching full depth became a little bit easier. I assume that flat shoes are better for low bar wide-stance squats.

New Q.
Is the post workout drink (within 30mins) really necessary?
Because i dont have dinner after my workout because i workout pretty late(posted this before).
And i had a realisation that if i worked out earlier i would be able to have dinner + my protein drink so i would get more carbs/protein for muscle repair/growth.
I cant have my protein drink before my dinner because of terrible stomach and digestion problems.
Tldr-
Should i workout earlier to be able to eat dinner(most of the time -meat) and delay my protein drink for later so i will get more carbs/protein?
OR should i workout later and just stick with drinking my milk/protein straight after my workout but not have any dinner so i wont get extra stuff.
Thinking of buying some whey powder but not sure what to look for. Suggestions?
Cheers
Basically if you want to build muscle, try to eat more. So training earlier with another dinner would be better for that.
In general eating nothing but a protein shake after a workout isn't ideal, need some carbs to fill up the depleted glycogen.
Tell me if it answers your question, i'm not really sure what you wanted to hear. 
Whey i recommend ON Gold Standard. Put in 50g Dextrose for better absorption and added carbs.

Log your shit.
Example site to help: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/
Easy as shit so don't complain if you're too lazy to do it. You can even use a bardcode scanner on your phone to add foods to it with the search feature. ITS SO DAMN EASY.
Just because you say you eat nonstop doesn't mean you will gain weight. You MUST have a calorie surplus in order to gain weight while also working out to ensure it's not going to all be in the form of bodyfat. For proper macro nutrients for you, please refer to this forum sticky:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121703981
If you're too lazy to do anything and just want to gain weight while working out and eating without logging anything, a simple way is to drink 1/2 - 1 gallon of milk a day, also known as GOMAD. A gallon of whole milk is just above 2k calories and has an excellent ratio of macro nutrients needed to add weight while lifting heavy.

Oh snap, finally know how hip drive is supposed to feel as a result, squats were a pisstake lawl.
Todays workout:
Squat 74kg 5-5-5
Bench Press 60kg 5-5-5
Deadlift 85kg 1x5
Squat was trolololol, bench was definately doable. Deadlift form was pretty awful, legs straightened way before the back, derp. Last session it was a lot better though.
Buying a smartphone soon to take pics and videos and stuff.

It sort of answers my question lol.
I have to eat dinner straight after my workout if i want to have. i cant have my shake before my dinner because of bad digestion problems. It's frign weird.
So you're saying that i should workout then eat dinner then my protein shake instead of working out drinking my protein shake and skipping dinenr just to get the whey/protein/carbs faster?
Coz thats what i am mainly asking and wandering if the fast protein is really that important.
|
Well it's not that important if it means you can't eat anything after that shake, just have dinner and then drink the shake later. Just make sure its a big dinner lots of carbs and protein. Has to be worth skipping the quick protein.
You can skip the dextrose then, if you don't need more carbs, fast absorption isn't that important if you drink the shake later.

1. If you're trying to gain weight it is a small advantage to have PWO nutrition. Again, a few percentage points.
2. If you're trying to gain mass the option that allows you more food is better as long as it doesn't impair your sleep

As said before post your workout, and what you are eating. Chance are you are not eating enough or your workout is crap... or possibly both.

Double overhand -> mixed grip once your grip starts to fail
Being sore or feeling like you did something after a workout doesn't mean you're progressing. Adding weight to the bar is a more consistent sign of progress; same with adding weight to the scale if you're bulking.
Remember, CLEAR goals will have measurable progress. Don't base anything on how you feel.
Also, don't do extra workouts.
