Some people have bad knees. Elliptical is a good bet as well. | ||

Took about 6-7 weeks of rehab + swimming/tennis etc. I'm not doing SS... I like going 5 times a week...I use a 3 day split and doing 1x12 warmup + 3x10 worksets...mostly big compound exercizes (squat/deadlift/bench/pullups/rowing/military press/lunges etc.).... I might switch to SS in september when time might become an issue cuz of school.... I know everybody here is a SS advocate, that's why I haven't talked about my program much hehe ^_^... Perhaps it'd be better to switch asap but the high volume training helps me with calorie burning and my body's used to the 5x week by now..I often workout with a friend and hes doing the same thing so i just haven't seen a reason to change it 4 now.. I also play tennis/soccer at least 3 times a week and i do the nightly walk thing 2x a week or so...lots of very low intensity biking/walking in between as well (there's a reason why you haven't seen me on sc2 lol  )I lost a total of 32 kg since january this way (and that includes like 2 months of no training cuz of injury..), and though i try to eat healthy, i have good and bad days (the food cravings you get when your smoking weed are pretty intense..), but overall way more good days than bad. And when it does happen I play the devil's advocate and tell myself I probably needed to reset my metabolism anyways.. but the bad days probably slow down the progression quite a bit...there are huge gains for me to be made in diet so that i can shed off the last 10 kg~ of fat, then I can start thinking about growing muscle (right now im just not getting enough usefull food in my body to be making huge muscular gains), and SS, or some other heavy lifting program, would make more sense to me by then as well... but you know, even though i originally started weightlifting because i wanted to lose weight, i now find myself just enjoying the workout/listening to music and doing my thing...so im not all too bothered if i dont constantly lose weight as long as i have a good feeling about my training from that week.. I'm going to play hockey again next season (it's been 8 years, but i was actually quite good as a teenager, before the starcraft obsession  ), im super excited about that so im just gonna keep training hard and get in better shape so i can rape face... | ||

the general rule for a program is, if it continues to give you results there's no reason for you to change it. so once your gains (or fat loss in this case) start plateauing that would probably be a decent time to switch programs assuming your diet is in check. keep up the good work! | ||

Yeah, the most important thing really is to be consistent with getting into the gym, and pretty consistent with diet which looks like you're doing. SS is a bit quicker but hey as long as you're consistent and work hard you're obviously going to make progress. Keep up the good work.. let us know if there's anything else you need. :p | ||

I have injured my hand, so that is the reason I have just been squatting a lot. I dont see any problems in my knees. I have not snatched over 40kg in almost 4 weeks and I cant even rack the bar properly in the clean so I havent been doing clean and jerks either. | ||

however the first rep of the 3rd set was really really bad. like i lost control and my chest caved in but i was able to do the last 4 reps with decent form. also, my chinups felt a lot easier than before. which is good because i'm a fatty at 21% BF, 185 lb. the only thing i feel bummed about is that i have to DB bench instead of BB bench because of a shoulder problem. oh well does anybody know a good website for a fitness journal? i just wanna track exercises, not so much diet | ||

Adding weight is getting easier. Today I was kind of worried about my bench, but actually, doing that much weight was pretty easy. I felt like I could have tacked on another ten pounds with no problem. I'm back to where I was after resetting my squat, and my form is ten times better than it was before. It's also a lot easier to squat... no struggle getting up. It may also be this half gallon of milk I'm drinking a day. And although I feel like I am on my way to gaining a couple of fat pounds, it doesn't bother me. I'm ready to bulk up for another five or six months and then cut down. With a ketogenic diet, I should have no problem cutting down completely in just a couple of months, so I might as well bulk right. | ||

pretty happy with my training session a while a go. still improving with the press. it's just so fun putting weight above your head, i just can't get enough of it. sure wish i could do it more often though. on the other hand progress with pull ups has become pretty lame. i've already deloaded 10+lbs but it isn't getting any easier. almost failed on the final rep T_T AND i just realized that when i do pull ups the right side of my body goes up before my left which probably means my right arm is a lot stronger OR i've developed a bad habit of being uncoordinated in the movement. it only seems to happen with parallel grip though. i only had problems like this in the beginning when i used to train overhand grip. | ||
