I didn't know they put special technology in our shoes to make Deadlifts safer. People should stop picking up stuff from the ground without shoes, that hasn't worked for thousands of years. Seriously... + Show Spoiler + just in case my irony got lost, of course barefoot Deadlifts are safe haha ty guys. btw do you guys know a good video editor? Preferably free Well, Windows Movie Maker does the job. I am sure there is much better out there, but it is totally sufficient for cutting some lifts together. | ||

I actually didn't do my exercises for most of September because I was lazy but I've started doing them consistently again in the past 2 weeks. It helps that I have weights now... I used to do it with a large book (it's 15 lbs but it's not exactly fun to use it). Not going too intense but it's getting easier pretty quickly. It's like 30-45 minutes with a some small breaks that I do every day. I start with a lot of stretches mostly and just jumping around shadow kickboxing for a few minutes just to do any kind of movement. I do squats (3x10, I do them in between arm exercises but I'm going to start doing more soon I think) and a few other easier leg exercises. Then I use 20lbs weights for different arm exercises at 10 reps each (5 different exercises). My arms are tired when I'm doing them but honestly right now only my legs are tired. I'm not really sure if what I'm doing is really efficient but to be honest I'm just doing it for fun so I'm not really concerned about that. Some of the exercises I do are pointless I'm sure but meh, at least I'm doing something. I'm still at a huge weight (270) so I'm pretty sure I can lose another 50 pounds over the winter+ relatively easily if I don't give up (not really hard to be honest) without really doing anything drastic. I don't actually care about the number or how I look, just doing it to have more energy because it's tough when you're barely able to stay awake after a normal day of work or university. I'm a bit worried about cholesterol because I'm eating eggs and cheese so often but overall it's been going well. | ||

I have been trying to do the SL 5X5 seriously for a couple months seeing as it looked like a good program, the only problem is that the the golds gym near where I lived moved out and the new gym only has a Smith Machine and no olympic barbells, so its the only option for squats/bench/everything basically. My squat has gone from about 110-170 lb 5x5, however my bench press has barely budged much at all and I am wondering if I would be better off doing a flat or incline bench with dumbells, and if this would work my chest more than the bench, because I have heard the smith machine doesn't trigger all your muscles. Either this or my form is off? My grip is fairly wide, a good bit wider than shoulder width which someone told me was good.... I have not tried the deadlift at all as it seems awkward as hell doing it on a smith, and you can't get much weight at all doing it with dumbbells. I guess my main question is there anything else I can do lift wise which would be as efficient in helping me bulk as deadlifts.... I already do pullups and dips but I still have free time in my workouts. | ||
