Particularly, people always seek help with their military press (sitting position, using dumbbells). The problem arises when they want me to lift the weights for them to place in the starting position. So... how the fuck do I do that? Seriously. Do I grab both dumbbells and pass them (from the front) to the guy at the same time (with his hands ready at his shoulders)? In that case my dick ends up being in their face, that being kind of awkward. The bench gets in the way if I try to approach from the back. Do I hand one dumbbell over at a time and hope he doesn't tip over and fall? The dumbbells are usually decently heavy too, like 60 lb, I can't exactly juggle those like tennis balls. The weight complicates the transition phase where I actually slide the weight into his hand; I'm clinching the dumbbell fairly tightly, meanwhile he grabs my fist, so we end up in this lock where it's a struggle to pass the weight into his hand safely. It doesn't fucking help that the guy, after asking for my help, shoves earphones into his ears right away, negating any communication we could have had. Then they expect me to do the exercise with them (constantly helping them at the elbows). What the fuck, I ain't your butt buddy to do exercises as a pair. Do the damn exercise yourself or grab lighter weights. I'm there to make sure you don't dislocate your shoulder, that the weights don't go flying into someone's face when you decide you're done with your set, and maybe give a slight push if you are struggling with your very last rep. Usually it's they get it up to the shoulders themselves (put it on the knee and kick it up) and you have to help with the first rep. Help on elbows or wrist, ask what the dude wants. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEwKCR5JCog at 0:45 he kicks it up, watched video without sound no clue what he says.) If they can't even get it up to the shoulders themselves, take dumbell one give it to his right arm (from the side), then the other obviously. (Same video at 0:49 is what he should have them if you give them to him.) Hope that helps. | ||

There is a britta pitcher at home but I would like to buy something to put on the facet. Maybe I'll buy a water bottle filter for everyone in my family too. Looking at http://www.hydrosbottle.com/ for water bottles. Not sure which to pick for faucet filters though. | ||

I just read this article. http://www.cathletics.com/articles/article.php?articleID=74 There is a britta pitcher at home but I would like to buy something to put on the facet. Maybe I'll buy a water bottle filter for everyone in my family too. ZeroWater! It comes with a little tester so you can see when it's time to change the filter. The cool thing is since the tester works on electrical current when it shows "000 ppm" it should mean it's filtered out all the fluoride in the water as well as the metals and more common things that even a Brita gets. I do wish they had a glass pitcher for these things though to avoid BPA and pthalates but oh well. | ||

Weight is on the mid or the heels? Actual middle feels so damn close, hard to go low. roll the bar back so its pushing against your shins crouch down and look up at the ceiling - roll your eyes back so you're looking as far above you as possible (ie at a spot on the ceiling directly above you) this will push you down into a very low position automatically and make it feel much more like a leg exercise than anyting else im still kinda working out how to get my back straight like that tho | ||

I've been doing SS for about 6 weeks now (maybe 7, lost count). I started with about 55 lbs total (the bars are of varying weight, apparently none of them are 40 lbs) on pretty much all my lifts. My lifts now stand at: Squat: 170 lbs 3 sets x 5 reps Press: 82 lbs 3x5 Power clean: 91 lbs 5x3 Deadlift: 161 lbs 1x5 Bench press 91 3x5 Im ok with this rate of progression, but the problem is the last couple times? It HURT. Not like an injury-I had full ROM-but bad enough that the idea of increasing them and going into the gym is starting to scare me rather than attract me as it initially did. It takes a longer time to get through the workout now (an hour and a half, most of it waiting and resting). I've been eating paleo + some dairy. not being going crazy, but eating whenever I've been hungry. My appetite is markedly increased, but I don't seem to have put on any fat at all. I've actually been told im looking good, like I look I work out. I've had plenty of rest, too, especially the last couple weeks when I've been in that horrible limbo where a job seems to be a lock but they are taking FOREVER to confirm you. I was thinking of "freezing" most of my lifts-except the bench press and maybe deadlift, where I feel I can improve some more- until they start to feel comfortable and I can do them in less time, before moving forward. Is this a good way to go about it? And if not, what is? Also my powercleans are AWFUL. As soon as they hit a certain weight, I felt and looked terrible doing them. I seem to be racking on my chest rather than my shoulders, and I don't get how to jump up and then immediately dip down into a partial squat without losing my balance something fierce. Is this normal? Am I just being a wuss? Is there something I need to be doing? Please let me know, and let me know if theres any vital information I left out Cheers guys! | ||

unless you're obese you need to be putting on a bit of weight reasonably quickly (1lb a week is it? maybe less is ok) eating "when youre feeling hungry" sounds to me like a big problem in SS. eating enough is HARD WORK imo the program has to be followed correctly for it to work and that means being able to recover for the workouts in time i suggest you calorie count for a few days so you have an actual idea of how much kcals you're eating (and how much protein too) you didnt put your weight and height fyi | ||

Well I've definitely been eating a lot more, and some 85% of that is protein...would you recommend protein powder? | ||

you need to do a calorie count and see what kcals you are eating. protein foods are deceptive in that you might think you're awesome for eating tons of protein, but in actual fact are eating as much total kcals as a small girl | ||
