Hey new to this thread. Opened it up before but it was a bit too much for me at the time. Decided to give it a try again. Anyways I'm currently 6'3 265 trying to get down to 250 as a first goal. I normally don't have to much of a plan when I work out

. I do random exercises from diff workouts. Like the blood and sand workout somedays(my shitty version of it) Or some of the P90x workouts some other days( one Again my shitty version of it) My biggest weakness is my diet and gym consistency. I eat pretty shitty trying to fix it since I know how it important it is but its a work in progress atm. Also I always seem to get really motivated for a week or two and then just all goes away. For example every 1st 2 weeks of every month seems to be my " OK lets try this healthy life again"

I was skimming through the stronglifts 5x5 pdf since I thought about using that as my routine. But I noticed a lot of people were using this to bulk up? It seems like everyone is getting bigger using this. I want the exact opposite of this. Should I still do this?

Ill be browsing this thread a lot more often! I'm gonna do it this time.!


edit - Oh by the way this thread is mega intimidating so you guys know! Not sure why but I was literally afraid to post in it

It's much easier not eating 300 calories than it is to burn 300 calories from exercise.

Guys, need some advice. My lower back has somehow got weaker recently (1-2 months) and I can feel it generally and also when squatting and deadlifting. I've had two lower back related injuries in the past when squatting and deadlifting, so my lower back probably has never been too strong to begin with; no recent injuries though. I do office work so I sit all day which doesn't really help the issue.

So the question is what kind of exercises and other procedures I should be doing to make my back stronger? Recently I've started doing RDLs and good mornings. I'm also wondering if I should deload squat and deadlift until I feel more confident about my back. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hey guys here with another problem and question. I am REALLY into frisbee and usually play everydayish. Monday of last week I was stretching my right arm really far in the air to try and catch a catch, and had severe pain. I still play and if I stretch to far ( what normally wouldn't give me problems) and I get really severe pain again, but after awhile it calms down a bit. If I don't stretch it to far, I can play fine with no problems.

Is it anything to serious? Will it just take time to heal? Is it okay if I continue to play on it? I am captain of an Intermural team, so need to keep playing if possible. Thanks!

Those of you with access to the H&F forum start making some threads if you were planning on creating them. I'd rather have some topics in place so it doesn't go crazy once it opens up.



Also, re: need more resources if possible

Today I went to the doctor for a followup. He said to only go to pt every 2 weeks to monitor progress. OKed me for powercleans. If I want to do that, (on top of rows, he said rows are super excellent for the problems I have) waht equipment will I need? I might end up witha gym membership, but in the interim I'm at my house, and don't have bumperplates. But then again my weights are super low so...

Any thoughts?

I don't see why people seem to think leangains is only for cutting bodyfat. Handsdown the best bulking program I've ever used. My challenge is that I overeat too much on the workout days and I'm noticing slight fat gains now.
