I am 5,8feet 134 pounds (1,79 meters, 61 kilos). As far as blood test and check-ups go, I'm perfectly fine, doctors seem to believe it's just the way I am. Is there any special training I could use, any specific food or technics to put some meat on my bones ? Could someone guide me to a beginners' guide because some discussions here are very high level and I'm just looking for getting in good shape, not lifting 10000lbs. eat big, lift heavy get rid of 2 wrong misconceptions that are probably in your mind right now 1) fast metabolism means you can't gain weight (no, eat more.) 2) lifting weights will make you look like a freaky ass bodybuilder (no, not unless you have great genes, many years of training and living better through chemistry) then eat big, lift heavy. fwiw i was 5'8 125 when i started, and i've been 'that way' for my whole life. well until october last year. clocking in a much healthier 5'8 155-160 now. | ||

started with power snatches (on monday i managed 40kg with really poor form, shoulder pressing the last bit). today i went in with the goal of getting 40kg down with good form. did some warmup on 30. then slapped on 40 and nailed it ez. so i put on 45. nailed it ez. lol. slapped on 50 and hit a good rep once. 10kg progress in 2 days? not bad also took my powerclean & jerk from 55kg->60kg LIKE A BOSS | ||

After you've been squatting for a while you don't need as much rest, and eventually go dimsum mode where you lift 5 days in a row and completely forget the meaning of "delayed onset muscle soreness" And yes, fuck whoever invented stairs. There should be escalators everywhere for post leg workouts! | ||

Hoping for it to be a killer press day with some biceps weak point training in there. Definitely my favorite workout of the week! (hitting all of the glory muscles  ) | ||

I asked about this before, Eshlow said it's easy to burn out on such a huge workload, so I never really went through with it. Basically it does work but from all I read if you want to do it it's best kept at 6 weeks intervals. So basically 6 weeks GVT, 6 weeks doing some easier program, 6 weeks GVT, ... | ||

That's the routine that has you squatting 70% of your 1rm for 10x10 with controlled rest periods twice a week right? Sounds absolutely ridiculous - I know I'm not on any level ready to do that. That kind of volume would put me into shock. All I know about it is that it's designed to put a lot of weight on an intermediate or advanced lifter in a short period of time, like lifters/wrestlers looking to move up a weight class very quickly, and that you can't stay on the program for an extended amount of time without roids. It's supposed to be something like 8 weeks I think? Anyway, sounds ridiculous. Maybe something I'd do for the hell of it one day, but I can't see it being a regular program, for me at least. | ||

![[image loading]](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgn8k2RpYW1qd2woa.gif) NBD Started getting a much more solid grip on the bar before the jerk like half way through my workout vs just driving off my shoulders + fingers Thats like my 3rd one with it, kinda shitty jerk but glad i have the flexibility to grip it like that now. Didn't really have any intention on maxing out today, did light snatches and then got 110 like 7 times, then 120 like 5 times, then 125 twice, 130 twice, and 135 once. My clean just feels automatic up till 120-125, dont even feel like i need to try/think i just pick the bar up and then its there. Still needs a bit of work though. Also got a girl to basically put her elbow + all her weight into the parts of my back/shoulder that have been sore...felt AWESOME | ||

Not useful if you're not properly conditioned (e.g. intermediate/advanced level of strength) to handle it. As said before, VERY VERY VERY VERY easy to burn out on high volume programs (not to mention high frequency programs). Just not worth the cost.... if you're looking for something hard to do to bust through a plateau do 20 rep squat or something along those lines. | ||

In any case, if you're not lifting, then it's a good opportunity to do some prehab work. It'll help make your body really bulletproof once you do start to lifting again. There's a lot of potential injury points in the body, like the shoulders and its various ligaments, that could do with some strengthening. | ||
