Oly lifting shoes have raised heels because it gives your hips/knees more leverage to get out of the hole, especially if you're lacking ankle flexibility.

If you're not Oly lifting I would suggest lifting with with minimalist shoes or barefoot. You'll develop much better mobility, and it's better for your overall joint health.

^Good thing to know, my knees started to hurt a little during squats today. How does the position of your feet effect your squats?

Stupid question maybe but can you get mood swings from starting to work out? I started to have some serious mood swings like a week ago and I can get really pissed off for nothing and it's quite annoying :/

I might mix some excercises here and there, but nothing too fancy, I want to try this SS and see how it goes for me .

this week I need to rest, due to doctor telling me to, but next monday I'll be back into the gym! .

don't mix in any other exercises.
seriously.
i did it before and things get confusing.
what eshlow told me before it right, just stick to the routine, don't add anything, and you'll be fine.

good catch, haha. that's what i get for trying to spout off information i don't know anything about. it's a good thing i don't post on SC2 strategy forums, i would get grilled.



Thanks for the tip .

I read quite a bit today about SS, and I like it a lot, I might do just exactly what it says and see how it goes for me .

Absolutely not a stupid question. Poor mental health is often times an indicator of poor physical health.

Are you giving yourself enough recovery time between workouts? Are you eating enough to support your new lifestyle? You could have overtraining syndrome (OTS), which has been known to give people mood swings. I had a really bad case of OTS a couple of months ago, and I almost broke some guy's arms for looking at my girlfriend.

Eating enough, yes. Eating properly I don't know. I don't eat junk food any more and I eat more vegetables and fruits now but that's about it when it comes to food, so no major changes. I work out monday, wednesday and friday so there should be enough recovery time right? However I'm not sleeping well, about 4-5 hours/day, maybe that's what causing my mood swings? Can't really think of anything else...

Sleep is a huge factor, I also don't sleep nearly enough and I can guarantee it's responsible for my emotions going haywire at times, which causes me to stay up later and thus repeats the cycle. GET YOUR SLEEP FOO.

My body was freaking out because i didn't work out for 5 days and went on a 3 day drinking binge T_T
A good squat workout yesterday fixed that though, did 5x10 at 225, 245,270,300,325. Had to push through pretty hard mentally on the last half of the last two sets, god damn was that tiring.
Can barely walk today lol. quads/hams/glutes are all shot, is it possible that i use my posterior chain more than my quads on squats? My hams always seem pretty sore the next day.
Now to go attempt to run around for 2 hours of conditioning and hitting people T_T
Back is bugging me still Gonna talk to a chiropractor that i play rugby with at practice today
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

My college is starting this fall and based on my classes I can either workout every morning 6am - 8am or I can workout in the afternoon/evening depending on the day. Which do you guys think is better? I usually lift and run a few miles afterwards.

I think it's better if you can have an exact set time to do it every day.

check out hte squat rx vids on youtube to see if you need more mobility owrk or better form.

I would also suggest actually buying Starting Strength though...

Carpal tunnel trick
If your arms are hurting a bit, it can be a rather small inflamation, you can go to the sink and flow as cold water you can over it for about a minute, then switch to as hot you can take for about 40sec. It helps a lot, and I do this after gym in the shower with my whole body, rotating between cold and hot a few times, and to be frank, the feeling is as good as sex when I am done in the shower.
You should also consider that there are food that can cause irritation in your muscles as well, this method will not eliminate it if you keep harrasing your body left and right with inproper exercise, rest or food.

Can anyone recommend me a yoga mat? I plan to mostly do ab exercises on it, maybe a tiny bit of yoga if I ever enrol myself in a class.

This one seems to be getting good reviews, but it doesn't look thick enough...

Or this one?

i was on my last set of OHP, and i noticed that the left side of the bar was going up before the right side (the power rack is in front of a mirror). it got me thinking, i'm right handed so it's pretty weird for the left side to be going up first seeming as how much stronger my right shoulder/arm is.

so i finish the set etc. and begin returning the plates and that's when i notice...the 2.75 plate on the left side is missing. some dude fucking nicked my plate!!! fuck that was annoying.

well at least i found out why i was pressing the bar unevenly lol.

what a bunch of crap. why are gym people such jerks. like the guy who borrows my chalk to use it on his gloves.

although there are times i've forgotten to put even weight on. hahah.

so me and my friend are on starting strength. he missed our first day this week on sunday, but last thursday he got all his reps on squats at 155#. i told him to put 160# on and he complained. "there's no way i can do this! you have no idea! i just drank all weekend."

"no. fuck you. you're doing 160. you can do this shit."

after the first set

"there's no way i'm doing 3 sets of 5 reps of that."

after the last set

"see. i told you can do it. easy."

Anyone here knows a formula (or sth. like that) to roughly calculate your 5RM from your actual 3x5 (like you do in SS)? I'm kinda working 12 hours a day right now and don't really have time to search for that stuff. Would save me some time.
