@Zafrumi and emperorchampion - Thanks! I'll put a picture up once I get them on the computer. It was a really nice day, considering the whole week before was raining.
Today's workout:
Front Squat: 140lbs 3x5
Press: 85lbs 1x5 - 75lbs 2x5 (Feeling really weak today, this cold is killing me...  )
Deadlift: 240lbs 1x5 (Going to upload a form video soon, feel like my form is slipping.)
Also been sick for a week and after the wedding I started feeling worse. Just a head cold with sore throat, headache, and stuffed up. Better go away quick though!

Good nutrition is important but arguing with your mom about what to have for dinner.......yeah...she buys and cooks whatever she pleases. Just focus on your workouts if your diet is not optimal. Wonder how those people get/stay jacked in prison? They are not eating paleo diet I can tell you that for sure.

When you have a lot of free time, pushups arent uncommon.

I think someone looked into this and determined that sleeping 10 hours a night helps too. They actually take away workout equipment at most prisons because it can be used as a weapon from what I remember reading.

I think that's just a myth. I remember reading a story from a guy in some maximum US security prison where they had were fed fatty shit like pizza day round and had no access to exercise equipment. Him and his cellmate deadlifted each other for exercise and he said he was incredibly fat when he got out of prison.

got a full time job! Ill update the other threads tomorrow. I need to now need to plan more time for the gym.

okay so my friend has a weird problem... I'm trying to introduce him to starting strength but something goes wrong when he squats. He cant have proper technique cause he falls on his back if he puts his weight on his heels, even without the bar. Hes pretty flexible, probably more than me, so I really dont know why he cant go down without falling...
anybody knows what could be wrong? I look at him when he squats and I see nothing wrong technique wise!

One little thing I also wanted to point out on your bench press is that I see your head come off the bench, I do believe I've heard that can cause neck pain but if someone wants to clarify that I'd be more than willing to listen. Starting Strength says to keep your head an inch off the bench I believe. Thanks for the comments guys. I'll work on all those things. No it doesn't, keep it on the bench. Edit: To expand on this, because you don't want to drill your head into the bench either, I think he recommends thinking of keeping your head off the bench as a cue to combat this-- but you don't actually want to keep it off.
Page 90:
The function of the neck muscles is to maintain head position, and to protect the cervical
spine during the loading of the chest and upper back as the bar comes down on the chest. As
such, the neck muscles work isometrically to maintain position, in a function similar to that of the
lower back muscles during the deadlift. But unlike the back muscles, they should not transfer
power along the neck to help with the lift. In other words, you do not use your head to bench
press. Do not push jour head into the bench. This is an excellent way to injure your neck. You need to learn how to tighten up your neck without pushing on the bench with the back of your head.
As a practical matter, this involves holding your head about a half-inch off the bench during the
rep. If your head is held off the bench your neck muscles are tight. It is tempting to use the neck to push the bench, as it adds contracted muscle and tightness to the upper back area, but it is too dangerous a habit to let become established.
In other words, the important part is keeping your neck muscles tight without drilling your head into the bench. If you can do this with your head touching the bench, great, but keeping it half an inch in the air is acceptable too.
I've had neck pain in the past from pushing my head into the bench, but no pain so far when keeping it in the air a bit. Seems like one of those "do what works best for you" situations.

Starting doing SS a couple weeks ago and for the first time in my life, the gym makes sense to me.
HOWEVER: it looks like I'll have to leave town in a week, for about a week and a half. I'm scared this is going to undo the (painful) gains in terms of finally going to the gym, the muscle soreness going away etc.
Obviously, I'm going to try and go to the gym the day before I go, and go again the day (or day after) i come back. But If I can't find a gym I can just walk into for a few days, what exercises can I do that those muscles don't forget they're "on the clock"? I have two medium weight dumbells at my disposal, and obviously i can do weightless squats, push ups, probably pull ups.
I do the original beginner program. Any help would be great, guys.

you could do some one legged squats or pistol squats (or even sprinting).
but I think 1.5 weeks might not be long enough to trigger DOMS after the first workout. my general rule of thumb is: 1 week is ok, 2 is not.
just take it easy for a couple of workouts when you return and you should be ok.
|
@auto fire--i am pretty sure the soreness wont come back even if you just go away for a week to a fortnight.
for squats- try piston squats (1 legged squats) if you can.
try pullups and bodyweight bar dips on a chair or bar.
also if you dont want to lose the progress as much try to each as much protein and calories to minimise muscle loss. coz your body still needs protein to maintain muscle.
protein=1g/lb of bodyweight.
gl hf
edit: also when going back to SS stop the pullups/dips as they tend to muck up the SS progress.
when you go back to the gym dont go for 3 days to ''catch up'' just go back to the normal schedule
i answered this on the question/answer thread.
also listen to Zafrumi- hes experienced.
