Keeping diet, wallet (!!!), workouts, school and gf in a good oragnized schedule is pretty hard...but one tries to make the best out of it. Most of the time the diet and wallet suffers. One good thing though is that my aerobic conditioning is slowly and slowly getting better. At least I'm not fired after warmup on badminton pratices. Had an awesome session today playing doubles ^^ | ||

-Workouts, diet, school, wallet, gf! :D But really, i'd try to squeeze in at least a quick workout, Routine and exercise is good for keeping you focused! I would have gone nuts the last couple days studying for 3 exams if i didnt get a lift in. Pain(discomfort?) has shifted from side of shoulder to rear of shoulder to upper right side of back? It just feels REALLY tight. Borrowed* a softball from the school i workout to help roll out my back. Man i'd kill for a wicked massage T_T I'd gladly trade a fuck buddy for a massage therapist buddy -_- Had a real snatch workout for the first time since last monday, it went really well. I made more of an effort to keep my upper back tight and it felt good. I did triples at 60, 65,70,75,80. I think its the first time i've done 3x80 and it all felt really smooth and easy despite being very drained and tired from studying last few days. Finished up with a couple triples of c&j at 90, 95, 100, 100. | ||

The gym is open 24/7 so timing isn't important. And get a massage therapist fuck buddy...it's quite logical really  | ||

For me personally I've tried it for two days (Without really adjusting my paleo diet) and I feel like shit....Mind is cloudy, I feel very anxious and somewhat nauseous. And my energy levels are super low. Lower than before I started paleo. I'm probably doing something wrong. I'll give it a go for a week and try to incorporate some white rice after exercising. | ||

Been browsing through leangains.com and I gotta say that the before and after pics of the testamonials trully are the most impressive ones I've seen yet. It's not paleo per se but I'm pretty sure you can adapt paleo to his program. It basically consists of fasting for 16 hours a day (factoring 8 hours of sleep) and eating three meals within the next 8 hours, usually before a workout, post work out and before bed. You eat 20% of your total daily caloric intake when you're breaking the fast, and 50% in your post work out meal. The remaining 30% before bed time. Starchy foods are encouraged. On work out days (3x) you eat a lot of carbs, moderate protein and low fat, and on off days (4x) you'd eat high protein, moderate fat and moderate carbs. The basic lifting program is your standard SS stuff.

And my energy levels are super low. Lower than before I started paleo. I'm probably doing something wrong. I'll give it a go for a week and try to incorporate some white rice after exercising. ive been doing IF to some degree for about a month now..feels fine to me. I usually dont feel like making breakfast right away when i wake up anyway lol. I never tried doing it non-paleo style, but I usually eat high protein, high fat, minimal carbs (except some extra on soccer days now!) energy levels are normal, and a lot of the time i go 6-7 hours between the first and second meal, so i only get 2 main ones in. I also break my fast with my post workout meal, so I eat the largest portion first. maybe you're eating too many carbs? I dont know where it says that starchy foods are encouraged, but it could be whats making you tired and anxious, if you arnt getting enuf protein/fat to satiate you for the longer periods of time. | ||

Everything besides deadlift is going to be increased by 5, and deadlift by 10.. does this sound good? Yeah that sounds perfect. If you're feeling up to it, do 180 lbs on your squat again. If you aren't feeling 100% on Saturday, just do 175 and go up from there. Starting Strength is definitely awesome. I just barely manage my 3x5 squats every workout, then 2-3 days later I add 5 lbs and barely manage that. Been doing it since Dec. 3 of last year. 1RM PRs around Thanksgiving last year: Squat 230 lbs Deadlift 225 Bench 130 Most recent SS workouts: Squat 240x5 Deadlift 250x5 Bench 120x5 My only problem is that my upper body strength sucks, and I'm too exhausted after the workouts to do any assistance exercises like dips, pull-ups, or push-ups. I'm really struggling with the press and bench press, but I haven't failed a squat or deadlift rep yet.  | ||

Finished 195lbsx3x5 on bench without help. Hopefully by next week I'll be in the 200 club =) Squat: 250x3x5, still need to go lower but am a lot happier with my form. Deadlift: 315x1x5, felt like a freaking beast with 3 plates on each side. Favorite lift now by far. I feel like it's gonna be a while before I stop gaining on this lift too. Btw when do ya'll get you're maxes?? I'd like to see where I'm at at 1 rep, but I wanna keep gaining as well. | ||

Age: 19 || Height: 5'8"|| Weight: 135-140 Starting Date: Jan 11 || Goal Date: Rest of lifetime Weight goals -- I feel pretty good about my weight currently. I'm more interested in attaining my maximum level of strength at my current weight. I may increase my weight to 145-150 in the future. Training goals -- Bench 175 1rm (Currently 150-155) Squat 210 1rm (Currently 170) Deadlift 200 1rm (Currently 170) Nutrition goals -- Cut out more man made shit food. Eating more homemade meals. The irony is I work as a cook but I don't cook scratch meals often enough Misc Goals -- I had been weightlifting for a few years now. I took a few courses in Highschool and that's what started my love for the sport. I'm pretty in shape right now and am making good progress. I just got a new gym membership after much delay and am focusing on improving my big 3 (Squat, DL, BP) and building more whole body strength. I also make sure to do half an hour of cardio each gym session too, just to keep cardiovascular health decent. | ||

Just don't do it too ofter. EDIT: @Grease: How are your stats now? Running/pushup/situps? | ||
