Maybe increase your carb intake a bit? Are you trying to cut, maintain, or bulk? Or are you more wondering about how this effects the meal timing if you're going to keep follow leangains? | ||

My question is basically should I have a big meal after work and right before bed, try to take something small or not eat at all? I can take BCAAs aswell. Thanks for responding. | ||

I am currently deadlifting with a double overhand grip (not locking the thumb) and I really like it. I train gripstrength twice a week and currently my deadlifts aren't limited by gripstrength allthough they have been in the past pre-gripworkout. As far as I understand it many people lift their heavy sets with a mixed grip so I was wondering if there's a point where a double overhand grip will become unfeasible. | ||

There isn't a point where you can be like "oh at 300 lbs double overhand won't work. 301 on will need to be with mixed." Plus, as you get stronger, weights that you had to do with mixed will be able to be done with overhand grip. So keep on keeping on, and when your grip starts to fall, switch to mixed. | ||

I have no real problems with the StrongLifts exercises but the progression is so brutal for me and is ruining other parts of my lifestyle. I don't want to quit lifting altogether but is there some alternative to Stronglifts that will leave me being able to do cardio? I don't care if it means it'll slow my progress, I just wanna run again. I don't need the best of both worlds, just to be able to enjoy them both. | ||

Otherwise I guess you could maybe lower you lifting intensity and start running 3 times a week, then up the intensity again. | ||

I know every time I make the transition from a lower volume routine to a higher volume one I'll feel like shit for about 4 weeks, after that it's all good. Your body will adapt to almost anything you throw at it if you give it a few weeks. Otherwise I guess you could maybe lower you lifting intensity and start running 3 times a week, then up the intensity again. I was lifting and running 3 times for the first 8 weeks. When I've tried the last ones, half the runs were 4k (normally 8k) then stopping or massively slow with my legs hurting a lot during the run and the next day. I could force myself through the pain but that doesn't make any sense to me, I'm only going to injure myself doing stuff like that. If you think I'll get over it then I'll keep trying but it just seems dangerous to me. | ||

Even since, i have been unable to fall asleep until around 3am, which is 1-2 hours later than usual. Any of you know any tricks to push sleeping schedule backwards? | ||

On that note, I've been doing the reading threads, realizing I'm probably doing it wrong (yay), and have to ask: I only have a set of weights going to 30 lbs and lower (curling weights) - should I go to a gym, and try to doing higher and higher, since I've already, more or less, mastered these weights? (Even though I'm just starting out....) | ||

I don't think you necessarily need to change the program, you could try a deload week, lowering your lifts/distance, or maybe go down to 3x5, and then work back up again. Of course you can change the program too but I don't really have any suggestions because I don't do any running. | ||

(Even though I'm just starting out....) You'll master weights quickly since you're just starting out. Yes, go to the gym. If you want the best results, follow a recommended beginners routine (Must include the big four at least) and progressively add weight to the bar. | ||
