Age: 18 || Height: 5'8"|| Weight: 166lbs Starting Date: 01/03/10 || Goal Date: 01/01/11 Weight goals -- I can't believe how fat I am now. Need to shed 20 of those pounds asap. Goal weight is 140 but I'm not too sure how realistic that is. Still it's what I am aiming for. Nutrition goals -- I really need to stop downing sweets like they are going out of fashion. Also eating more regularly would be a great plus. Eating once a day is horrible for my health. | ||

So crunchy, yet soppy.. plus I'm trying to drink more milk so I'm on a milk kick. Anyway, I had a big heaping bowl of corn flakes, with skim milk of course. Well, its not the healthiest thing, but I suppose one bowl isnt so bad... But damn this insatiable craving! I couldnt stop - I had another heaping bowl, then later, two more for dinner! I only stopped because I ran out of cereal and the nearest grocery store was closed, and it was -15°C out. Help me team liquid! Hopefully I will look back on this post and feel guilty enough and eat something better instead. lol cereal is terrible for curbing hunger. its got almost no protein or fat. not to mention it's a processed food. Grab yourself some turkey, peanut butter, whole milk, etc and you will fill up.

I'm pretty sure everyone dead lifts more than they squat >.< Well, right now I am at 150x5 at squats and 140x3 at Deadlifts. Of course I don't know how it will develop throughout the year, but right now, Squats feel really easy to progress at (and I have done both lifts for three months only, so there should be much potential I assume). Looking at my physic, my thighs do clearly stand out. They are really thick and have always been this way. I believe they are simply good squatting material  Additionally, my right hand-grip on the DL is a problem which I am working on and which surely holds me back a little.But I'm always squatting at least parallel, that's for sure. I always aim for the hole, but since I work without a spotter, sometimes when I am a little bit of balance, I play it safe. But I believe that professional powerlifters squat more weight than they lift on their DL, don't they? | ||

Age: 25 || Height: 5'11" || Weight: 72kg (started at 83.6kg) Starting Date: 01/11/2009 || Goal Date: None specifically. Weight goals -- 65kg Training goals -- Excessive walking. ^^ Nutrition goals -- Sticking to a balanced diet, lowering portion sizes, healthy snacking only, more vitamins and other nutrients via veggies etc, better eating habits (not skipping meals.) Misc goals -- Learn to cook more interesting healthy meals. On a side note I've noticed recently that after eating fried food I tend to feel really nauseous. I've kept away from it during the first stages of my diet. I'm not sure if this is normal, but I've decided to take it as a sign that my body doesn't want me to eat fried junk. | ||

But usually that's cause of poor technique and/or not going low enough squatting. | ||

Once you start eating healthier you will find that eating junk/trash food tends to make you have gastrointestinal distress/nauseous/etc. I know a couple people off bread for such a long time that eating it will make them bloat and give them stomach cramps. | ||

Thanks for the clarification. I tend to suffer from stomach cramps after eating so I'm going to up my fiber intake by eating cereal for breakfast and lots of dark leafy greens. I'm actually glad that's the case because it'll force me to keep eating healthily. I hope it doesn't happen when I eat pizza though! (touch wood it's only happened with fried foods so far.) | ||

Maybe you just have much weaker back/hamstrings compared to your quads? and your right hand grip, you do have your hands switched right? (one normal hand one reverse hand). It's usually form that causes squats to be > deadlift On January 06 2010 14:44 AoN.DimSum wrote: I always squatted a lot and never did deadlifts much back in high school.

Name/nick: James Fazzolari, "JFazz" Age: 21y 9m || Height: 5'9" or 176cm || Weight: 155lbs/70kg Starting Date: 01/02/10|| Goal Date: 30/11/10 Weight goals -- To move from 70kg to 77kg as healthily as possible, focussing on slow lean mass gain, and avoiding the temptation to eat whatever it takes to bulk up. My plan wil focus upon 5-6 small meals a day, each with their own serve of protein, and with an overall limit on carbohydrate intake to <150g a day. Training goals -- Basically just to keep adding weight to my lifts. I would like to move from 80kg max on the flat bench to 100+kg. But really, improvements for back, legs, shoulders, biceps, triceps etc, will all come if I keep focused. I will be training weights four days a week, cardio nearly every day and martial arts (WSLWC) 2 to 3 times a week. Nutrition goals -- Just maintain a balanced diet, with the emphasis on fruit, vegetables and protein sources. 2000+ calories a day, with 1g of protein per lb of weight. Watch the carbohydrate intake. Misc goals -- ill post a piec of myself, and then a pic of Mauricio "Shogun" Hua later. you get the idea. Looking forward to getting back into it come Feb guys (need to be back in the country first!). Keep it up! | ||

Usually the very good DLers have long arms as well so if your arms are extremely short you may run into problems there as well. But usually that's cause of poor technique and/or not going low enough squatting. Short femurs/huge legs, that sounds exactly like me in the mirror I would say. And my arms are not really long either. Didn't know that would qualify my as a genetic anomaly -.- Besides that, I feel like I have a lot of work to do with my DL-technic, I feel like my squats are more solid overall. @Decaf: Yes, I use a switched grip. I don't believe my back is weak, weak harmstrings could be true though. Which exercises would you suggest for harmstrings besides machine curls (always have problems with these). I would guess back extensions and good mornings? | ||
