The hardest thing to do when getting in shape is keep going, even if you are tired and want to quit, or SORE from the previous days workout, you have to keep pushing! After those first 2 weeks youll be gold and wont be sore as much. | ||

Holy shit, my last set of press I was about to fucking die, and I performed well in Squats, I feel as my form is getting better and better, and well, Watching Rippetoe's video in Squat, Power Clean, and Press were fucking helpful. Been drinking milk like a nutzo, eating lots and lots.  Happy as it gets.go workout buddy!, add 10lbs to that bar, and rape some shit UP! :D Well by hard I didn't mean the overall form but just how heavy it felt. And I didn't do power cleans on second workout. Did pull ups. Not going to add 10 lbs for press to bar lol. Shits too heavy gonna go with 5. Because I wasn't sure what to do with power cleans on 2nd workout I just did pull ups but next week I'll start them. Also I don't know if its just a placebo effect but usually when I lift hard I'm sore for like days after because I'm such a lazy bum. But after the first workout on Monday, Tuesday morning was sore. But was surprised as hell on Wednesday I barely felt sore at all. I wondered if it was just all the protein I'm getting from milk which is helping me recover so fast. Also another thing I noticed about SS or more squats/dead lift. Unlike just doing bench press and curls in the gym which just makes you sore like in your biceps and pecs the next day. After a SS workout the next day my whole body is sore. Really is a full body workout. Feels like it too. | ||

After a SS workout the next day my whole body is sore. Really is a full body workout. Feels like it too. Yep I know what you mean. for starters I was scared of doing Power Cleans, just because I've never seen anyone do it, and I have never done pretty much none of these exercises ever in my life. But yes, they target your full body. I fucking love Squatting, once you get comfortable with your form, and such, you start feeling more and more secure of what you're doing, I watched Rippetoe's video on Squat, and the whole thing about the Hip Drive. It was incredibly helpful, and if you want to squat like Decaf (that's my goal now, squat like nutzo!) you should really check it out. Each of his videos, are super super super good, and explain everything in detail, The best of it all, he tells the people he's coaching why the bar needs to be here and there, where does the bar rest, and where it should, and how to properly perform all of these SS workouts. Yeah, I haven't been drinking that much milk, today I haven't had any, and I miss it, it's incredibly helpful the protein the milk gives you, and well, I'm going to start drinking heavily today or tomorrow. Hopefully today (since it's a rest day, and I need the protein to recover fast). Tomorrow is my third day with SS, doing workout A again. I'm worried about Deadlift since last time, some guy told me to do "romanian Deadlift", and well, I didn't like it, and I'm going to do full deadlift as how Rippetoe says.  .Other than that, I struggled on my last set of press, since there were 30pounds on each side of the bar+the bar weight, going to add another 5-10lbs next workout. The Powercleans went pretty good too, I used 20lbs on each side of the bar+the bar weight, and I performed well, struggling in my last work set. I strongly recommend to do the warmup sets, they prepare you for what's coming, and you'll get a better feel on how to end and start your exercise. Overall I feel the changes, my body isn't as sore as it was on tuesday, and yesterday I performed quite well, and I can't complain. I should have done SS long ago, but I was hesitant. Now, I can't be happier .Hungry! lunch time! potato and tunaa yeaaa :D | ||

ah ok. hm.. didn't know gyms would set up a program for you. i just have to ask them and they will make me a good program? diet isn't too big of a problem for me, im not too attached to junk foods/ soda/ etc. also, my friend is having a huge party at his house for his birthday. i guess i shouldn't drink? :/ or perhaps very limited amount at least the gyms I've encountered in Norway will provide help should you require it, I should think they would do the same in other places - you just have to ask anyway, doesn't hurt. well... the drinking.... not drinking makes you kind of a social misfit in many situations and it's up to you as an individual how you want to handle it now and in the future. I myself very seldom drink (there's very few alcoholic drinks I actually like) and especially in Norway where the drinking culture is pretty heavy, it gets you a few weird looks and statements like "you don't drink?!?!?!" from wide-eyed retards... but I pride myself on having a better body than any of them  if you do want to drink for whatever reasons, no one says you can't drink in moderation. you don't have to drink 5liters of beer and get totally smashed - but again, these choices are totally up to you | ||

If it doesn't seem to get any better then I would see a doctor. | ||
