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.

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.


Hmm, the more you know (or less you forget...).

Squat: 150kg 8-8-8
Dips: BW 2-2-3-2-0
Deadlift: 200kg x 5;170x 3-3-3

Finally after 4 weeks a good Deadlift workout again. During the last 6 weeks I haven't come closer to the desired 250kg, but in the same time I have lost 9kg BW, so I guess I should be satisfied. And after like 6 years I can do bodyweight-Dips again (at 142kg BW). Fat gymnasts ftw

I'm a beginner. I used to have a schedule of A, B, C and train 4-5 times a week. It was mostly isolations with some composites exercises, with 4 sets of 10 legs and 4 sets of 8 repetitions for everything else.

Then LiquidMeat showed me Leangains and I read some pages on Starting Strength and decided to give it a try. My first session took place yesterday, it went like this:

I'm 178cm and 75kg

Squat: 1x5 60kg, 2x5 70kg
Bench press: 1x5 70kg, 2x5 72kg
Assisted Chin-ups (Smith Machine): 10R, 8R, 7R, all of them to failure.

I left the place exhausted and my arms, especially forearms, were bulked up and heavy. My legs hurt a bit too. I came close to failure in the final sets of Squat and Bench Press, so I think that's what I can handle for now, although I'll obviously slowly increase the weight.

BTW, I'm not far from what I'm looking for. I don't intend to get super ripped (like some of the clients of the leangains guy). So my question is, what should I do with my training to maintain my gains after I hit my goal? Stop increasing weight to the exercises? Keep increasing weight, but slowly? Change exercises?

If you're doing Starting Strength, you want to start low at about 60% of max intensity and make linear gains every workout until you no longer can.

After that you need to start programming your workouts because your recovery period will be longer than the interval between workouts. This period is done by weekly increases, instead of from workout to workout. There are a bunch of program in the Starting Strength wiki, or you can get Practical Programming by Rippetoe.

God, i'm so tired of not getting enough sleep lately.

Lately, all my sessions in the gym have felt amazing and i'm pretty sure i'm eating well enough but i usually only get about 6-7hours sleep every night which sucks. It somehow feels like i'm wasting precious free time by going to bed earlier so i more or less force myself to stay up, even if i'm not doing anything! so stupid. Hopefully i can start getting some decent sleep again because other than that i think i'm doing pretty good with my diet and workout.

Well, if you don't want to get a lot bigger, after you hit your goal you could eat less. You won't progress as fast on your load increase and shouldn't gain a lot of weight.

I'm pretty sure you have to go down 10% which is 59-60kg.

I don't like this guideline at all, it provides vastly different results depending on what weights you're lifting and how much your increases are.
Reset 2 weeks' worth.

There's one good Oly bar at my Uni gym, and that's on the oly platform. The guys who actually clean and snatch try our best to make sure it never leaves - and if it does, it doesn't go further than the squat racks in front of the platform.

Other than that, we have a half dozen old oly bars that are bent as hell (seriously, I've seen maybe two people capable of squatting or deadlifting enough weight to bend a bar, in three years here. How does this happen?) and a dozen of those thicker, shorter 55 lb bars that were purchased more recently - probably under the assumption they would last longer. They last just fine, but I CANNOT lift anything with them, they screw me up on every single lift. Most guys wait around for a bench - I wait around for the bar that you're benching with. True story =(

Also, @decaf where is the rugby thread??
