When I do the triple extension thing where I imagine touching my ears with my shoulders, and thrust my pelvis forward, is it essential that the bar is touching my thighs? Today I kinda hurt my thigh when I hit the bar somehow in that phase, not sure what happened. I've noticed that mine is getting a lot better since i've made it so i actually touch/hit the bar with my hips/legs on snatches/cleans. | ||

You can take whatever proteins and veggies you want, chop them up into small pieces, and cook it up relatively quickly. Add whatever seasoning/sauces you want for flavor. It's very flexible so you can experiment with many combinations of foods and flavors. with pasture butter! | ||

I'm trying to learn how to cook but its so goddam time consuming, but I feel like its the only way I'll be able to vary my diet enough to put on weight. I know I should be able to muscle down food as nutrition rather than pleasure but it REALLY gets old. so any suggestions? right now I'm gonna focus a fuck load on ground beef cuz its got multiple uses. hamburgers, spaghetti, etc. If you want to bulk quickly, just drink whole milk. Try drinking a gallon a day (GOMAD). Also, I found that I was literally eating twice as much if no more when I first started doing SS. Yea, I agree, cooking is time-consuming. It saves a lot of time if you cook a bunch of food in one batch (I do a lot of cooking on Sundays), or even just prep them in one batch and seal them in ziplocks (prepping takes a lot of time too). Watch the food network to get inspired. Cooking is actually really easy and fun, you just need to be creative with what you have. | ||

She's a dialysis nurse and it's been generally hammered into her head that too much protein and fat in one's diet overworks the kidneys and liver. So, does anyone know the precise numbers-- what's too much protein, 2+g per pound?-- and the studies that these conclusions were drawn from? From my very simple understanding, because fat is a natural appetite suppressant and that starchy diets interfere with the brains response to lectins (Whose role is to tell the brain that the stomach is full, and to place fat in places where its supposed to go and NOT supposed to go( i.e. the liver) participants on the paleo diet in studies seem to naturally eat less. 400-500 calories less in the ones that I read. So the liver and kidney's might not ve overworked despite eating mostly fat and protein. Also, low carb diets seem to burn more excess liver fat than low calorie diets, or the Mediterranean diet, so the liver is in better shape than your typical diet. There is no upper limit of protein or fat because HEALTHY livers and kidneys should be able to process all of it well. It's when you start getting messed up ones where you start to have all sorts of problems processing stuff (such as under the duress of chronic inflammation). You are correct in your understanding of satiety though. Paleo has shown greater results than mediterranean diet in recent studies as well if you wanna look them up. Remember, fat is the main source of our bodies fuel at ALL TIMES except above anaerobic threshold (via aerobic metabolism). If you eat a lot of carbohydrates most of it doesn't go to each organ, muscles,etc for energy (well, the muscles if you've been exercising because of GLUT4 upregulation). It goes primarily STRAIGHT to adipose... then when the body needs it later for energy it releases the glycerol and triglycerides for energy to various tissues. There's huge huge huge misunderstandings about energy metabolism in the body.

You're not supposed to buy ALL of them and then cook ALL of them in one week. It's just generally allowed foods -- you can pick what you want to buy and make from them. Like someone said above stir fry is really easy to do. So is throwing a steak/fish/chicken breast/etc. on the grill or pan and then eating it. Best way to do it is do multiple at a time so you have food for 2-3 days at a time. Some people cook for the whole week on sunday or saturday. (ohhh... cambium said that too didn't see until I posted haha). We allt hink on the same page there. What I do when I cook up bacon and eggs for example is I usually cook some extra up for breakfast the next day or something along those lines. | ||

Here's a couple comparisons from a little under two weeks ago for my snatch and clean. Jerk was miserable today but i did snatch 100 so :D + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54Ct6pfAB9k + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W94b1HAXqt4 My lifts feel a lot faster than they did before. Anyone know why my knees sometime go back and forth like that at the bottom of my lift? I never felt unstable and i knew i'd be able to bring it up but on tape it looks like i'm about to fail T_T | ||

In all seriousness as long as you don't see any of these symptoms you should be fine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_poisoning#Signs_and_symptoms Most stuff is fairly overblown although just eat some other meats in general if you're that worried. | ||

Zafrumi you don't happen to play badminton? Those shoes look really like the typical yonex badminton shoes... On the other hand a leg shot could be more benefitial for me... | ||

You are not landing on your heels at the bottom. Spread your feet sideways at the catch to give yourself a better base. In your clean, your feet moved a little backwards and did not spread enough. Which caused you to land on your toes. watch the feet in this video or any...most will move the same way. or a very exargerated movement. | ||

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Equipment#Belts The only time I wear a belt is when I'm going for a heavy max of 5 or less and for the last warm-up set leading up to my max. 90% of the time I don't wear a belt for squats nor deadlifts. Rule of thumb: If it feels really heavy, wear a belt. If you are self aware enough to know that you back/abs are stong enough not to need a belt, don't wear a belt. It really comes down to preference. Beginners need not wear a belt for the greater part of their training. To people using a belt on squat or deadlift, what kind of feeling made you start using a belt? | ||

From 72kg to 80kg in 5½ months. That's 159lbs → 176lbs for the uncivilized. | ||

Started out with: 110kg x 3 120kg x 2 140kg x 1 (pretty smooth but a little slow...) 150kg x 1 (double overhand grip from me holds to this level, just barely locked it out before the bar slipped. Decided to switch to mixed grip, chalked up and put on this little masterpiece: A good sniff of ammonia and BAM! Smashed the 160kg like it was nothing! So we ramp it up, and set it up for 180kg. Same song, more ammonia. Piece of cake. Only thing left to do: go for the kill and set 190kg on the bar. Nailed it. No hitching, no nothing. Just a smooth solid lift. Beat my all time PR by 5kg. Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 and high rep deads are delivering. I've never even gone above 105kg since I started doing deads again. Time to eat. | ||
