FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Determined to 1x5 295lb ass-to-grass squat now.

And then there's the fact that nothing beats the feeling you get from breaking a new personal record. Some of the happiest moments I remember are from walking home after a new 20-rep squat record way back in the days. Walking up stairs was like being repeatedly stabbed with a blunt and rusty butterknife. But it was still pure bliss.

Rant:

ARE YOU KIDDING ME MOTHER FUCKER? YOU COME ASKING FOR ADVICE THEN NOT BELIEVE WHAT I'M SAYING AND THEN CALL ME A BITTER PERSON BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ASKING ME ADVICE IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE IT?.

I work with this guy, and he recently went into the gym, he's all about cardio, he explicity told me, that to get lean, he needs to do cardio, and not lift weights. and I told him, that he could do cardio, but eating right and lifting weight is better to lose weight. It will turn fat into muscle. he then proceeded to say something like "Yeah, I don't want to have a big tummy that's rock hard."

This has been going on for days, and today the water just went out of the fucking glass. Fuck you stupid ignorant motherfucker, I'm done trying to convince you of some good shit that might benefit you like nothing in your life douche.

He told me "I'm going to do back, and he then said, recommend me some back excercises", I told him "I don't train like that, I train full body everytime I train, but you can do this, or that, and so on" he said "but isn't that shoulders?"...

"Why are you asking me for excercises, if you're not going to believe what I say?, You asked for back excercises, and I'm telling you back, not shoulders, BACK."

He then said something "People like you, spent their whole life bitter".

I stopped talking. I'm done with this dude.

ENDRANT.

Yesterday I went to play futbol (soccer for you americans) scored 2 goals, and made 2 assists.

I'm the cesc Fàbregas of Venezuela! :D

When doing SS, is it okay to do 5-5-7 instead of 5-5-5 if you feel like you can? As in, do 5-5-5+ till faillure instead of a fixed number?

If you have energy stored in the body as fat, then you can use that energy in the process of building muscle, which does take a considerable amount of energy to accomplish. That's why lifting has somewhat of a "fat-loss" component, but no you don't turn cells directly from one type to another.

Add more weights. Being able to do 2 more than usual in your last set probably means that your current weight is less than ideal. You can kind of tell that you're lifting enough weight when you can barely lift the 5th rep. And it's not uncommon for people to rest up to 10min in between sets for squats. Personally, I have to rest at least 5-8min or else I'll end up doing only 4 reps on the next set.

And don't forget to warmup! SS seems like it only requires 3 sets, but you should really incorporate 2-3 "warmup sets" prior to the 3 sets.
