I'd reset DLs at least once.... generally you can power through a couple resets and it's fine to reset if everytghing else is still progressing well too. @ Auto: If you're having trouble with pcleans don't do them the workout -- just drop the weight and mass practice technique instead. It's also OK to freeze your lifts if your form is starting to go bad andthey're starting to hurt. You can even backoff and reramp up. You've made pretty good progress so it's not like a slight deload is going to be harmful. | ||

@ Eshlow: thanks for the encouragement man, I was pretty down that I was stalling after 7 weeks when some people seem to raise their weights for 5 months. But yeah the powercleans are definitely frozen until they start looking and feeling better. I've seen a few videos but people seem to do them a little differently from one another, and its a complex exercise. Essentially, my problems are 1) I have trouble jumping and then landing in a partial squat...it seems counterintuitive 2) I seem to rack against my chest rather than my shoulder, which hurts obviously. | ||

Take some videos of all your lifts and post them so we can take a look, especially with power cleans. | ||

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 BLA BLA BLA (so it doesn't get too long)! Hey, I don't think this is the case, but i'm going to say it anyway. Have you read the SS instructions about form and then checked for videos? Because maybe you can improve the form and make the exercise easier. That's actually what happened to me. I was struggling with 3x5 154 lbls squats (my body weight is 75kg), which is lower than you, so I decided to reset my training altogether, also because I wasn't happy that I was having a much easier time bench pressing (3x5 70kg) than squatting. I carefully read the instructions about form and deloaded. The weights still feel light again, but now I know that I'm doing it right and hopefully doing it right will pay off in eventually, even if it seemed like a set back at first. | ||

Eat more carbs. Some good safe starches include: sweet potatoes, white potatoes and yucca. | ||

Thanks! But I thought proteins were far more important to this? And are fruits good sources of carbs? I love fruits. | ||

I'm not sure if you have already, but I would use an online tracker (fitday is commonly used I believe), and find out what your daily macros are. Practical Programming recommends eating at least 1000cal/day surplus if you are looking to gain weight. As a general rule, your protein intake should be 2g/kg (1g/lb) of bodyweight. Yes, fruits are an excellent source of carbs  | ||

Maybe because of the coffee/energy drinks I ingest as an aerospace engineer. I don't need to smoke or do drugs, caffeine and taurine will kill me before they ever could  | ||

i never liked USP labs their company is run by douchebags and i always hated all the reps on bb.com. i posted a lot on bb.com few years ago (8k+) and those guys were douchebags and used a fucking retarded marketing strategy that i thought was a laughing stock. just get normal 1,3 if you want it. you can get it from nutraplanet.com and i believe its 25mgs per cap? i have some and its really good, doesn't get me jittery when taken with 200mg caffeine but i get really focused. shitty part is i always want to sleep after i workout when i take it. | ||

But yeah, jack3d is overpriced. If you want to use a stimulant just use something with caffeine. jack3d is just caffeine plus some other stuff anyway | ||

If you've only tried whey protein concentrate, it might be worth it to spend a little extra money and get whey protein isolate. It has very little lactose and is generally higher quality than WPC. I have no idea what your personal situation is so forgive me if you have already considered or tried this! | ||

I have read some about keeping your hips under you but it feels very unnatural to me and I think it has something to do with my lower back super curve. I think my hips compensate for my lower back issue. Will post nudes, I mean pics, if anyone thinks they can help me out if there is anything to help out. | ||
