Over the past few days, i've realized that i always need to pee almost exactly 4 hours after i eat. It fluctuate by half an hour or so depending on how much i eat but it's still incredibly weird.
Any of you heard of this?
I've never noticed it specifically with eating. If I drink a lot of water though it will take approx 3 hours before I have to pee though.

I'm running into the problem that, if i dont squat first not only can i not progress, i cant finish my sets. However, if i progress on squats i'm so drained afterwards that every other lift suffers. Is this likely a problem of under eating, or do i need to look at intermediate strength routines?
For reference, i'm squatting 100kg at 82kg bw, 193cm tall.

def just undereating. might be that your rest periods aren't long enough. you also might look into having some workout nutrition, some fast carbs and protein / bcca.

That's what I previously thought - but I've had almost a full week away from the gym and only two rugby practices, good sleep, and I'm getting between 3k and 3.5k (which should be enough to maintain, but not put on weight) calories each day. I was taking BCAAs over the summer, but I didn't feel they were doing anything for me... Maybe I'll try that again and see if it helps.
I'll also have to up the calorie count to 4k? Ulp, I don't think I can do that eating just two meals per day especially since I'm out of milk right now =(.

Hey, you're taller than me but we are squatting about the same (107kg at 79kg bw) and I find that doing 5x5 is definitely too much but 3x5 is ok if I got enough sleep & ate enough since my last workout. Training fasted also seems to hurt my stamina a bit so I've been making sure to eat something small 1-2 hours beforehand.

Snatched 100kg today. I have no idea how. I couldnt even ride a bike earlier today

I really don't know then. Warmup good? Mobility stuff good? Just having a tin of coke really helps me through workouts 
@Decaf: lol, you still continue to entertain us :D
Not the best of days today, slept only 1.5 hours last night, zombied through the morning lectures but a half an hour power nap in the lunch time made the lab classes good. Took a small nap when I came home from school (about 5pm ish).
Workout was good, squatted 165kg x 5.
Doesn't really make sense...

Hey guys! Quick Q: about a couple weeks back I started following SS (no alterations to the program) and went fairly paleo in my diet. Feels good. But if I'm eating at a deficit (mostly protein) because I want to lose my damn love handles, will I still put on muscle by releasing energy from fat cells?
I'm not chubby or anything but I definitely have excess body fat (telltale "tire" around my midsection when I sit, esp. with my shirt off)

When eating a deficit it's usually a better idea to keep the protein and decrease fat/carbohydrate consumption.

protein is the last thing you want to cut back on, cut down on carbs as much as possible in order for your body to burn fat (if your body lacks carbs it will use the stored bodyfat as energy)

he says he's eating at a deficit by eating mostly protein.
it's possible to add muscle in a deficit but it depends on a lot of things. if you have enough bodyfat or are just starting out this could be possible, it also depends on how much of a deficit it is.

Something odd about that? (not giving you attitude, but im not sure what this means)
I mean, I eat till i'm satiated and I try to keep the servings smallish. I don't go to bed hungry or anything.
EDIT: I am just starting out, and I do have enough bodyfat that, again, while im not chubby theres definitely a gut/handles there, visible when I sit.
EDIT 2: (didnt read the top two posts, d'oh) well i kicked out all grains and sweet-type stuff, potato chips (never had TOO many but eh). I do have a little bit of yogurt and potatoes, but i thought those were ok in Paleo?

All of my workouts are on 3-4 hours of sleep a night...the gains I could have if I went to school elsewhere..
I feel you bro. Crushin' dem weightz anyways though!

i read it the other way around thinking he was cutting back mostly on proteins ^^

So, went to the gym today after a weekend of heavy drinking and poor sleeping. Surprisingly, everything went well.
114kg squat 5-5-5
76 kg bench 5-5-5 (at last i managed to reach BW bench)
132 kg deadlift 5
weighted pull-ups + 14kg 8-8-6
I had to rub the sole of my shoes so my hands wouldn't slip on the DL, since there is no chalk at my gym. I would bother, but i feel i'm the only one that uses the squat rack and it's barbell so meh.
Edit: forgot to add the pull-ups.

ohhhh ok lol my bad.
So...if I don't gain lots of mass (ok with that, im not a tiny framed guy anyway) will my body composition at least improve in a deficit?

no, nothing odd about that. The other two posters misunderstood what you meant by it so that's why i wrote it.
and yes, your body composition should improve lifting in a deficit
