[QUOTE=Region;35819803]Creatine = Water weight and 3-4 reps on your workouts.
Protein = Muscle building.
From personal experience, i suggest that you only supplement protein. Creatine is not needed.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Jallen;35820363]Getting an optimum amount of protein from your diet alone is extremely difficult. The guide I've frequently seen is 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight for making muscle gains. Well I weigh 180lbs, so I would have to eat 180 grams of protein every day. That's doable if you are a body builder who eats 6 high protein meals a day with nutrition as a key part of their life, but I and most everyday people do not have the time to ensure they eat such a large quantity of protein.
If you are going to choose between protein shakes and creatine, pick protein. The creatine, while it has some benefits, is in no way essential.
Protein on the other hand is the most important thing to give your body to allow growth and regeneration. If you do not get adequate protein, you will not get the benefit you could do, and if you [I]really[/I] don't get enough, you can actually get weaker and lose muscle.
In summary, pick protein over creatine.[/QUOTE]
Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it. I'll stick with protein shakes then. It's damn good and I definitely saw an improvement from when I first started!

I assume he's referring to the creatine being "water weight" comment

So I'm going to start lifting weights, going to follow the Stronglifts 5x5 program. Anything I should think of during this time?
SS PP or SL5x5? I totally forgot about SL and just wanted to hear what i should use, as a complete newbie.

lots of protein and shit. Also, watch videos on form if you're a beginner. Squats and DL's can be detrimental if you don't know what you're doing.

Yeah, I eat a lot of egg and meat already. I also checked out Squats from the Stronglifts guide, I just gotta get new shoes because I only got running shoes, used to do a lot of cardio. What are some good shoes for lifting in?
I have just recently started to fix my forms on squat, and it sucks. I went from doing about 250 for 10 reps to only about 180, but I guess it is better to fix my form now before it causes actually problems.
Everything is shit right now.
At my school I can easily without a problem squat 115 lbs for 5x5, and at least a set of 135 easily.
At the gym, I can barely squat 100 5x5
the only difference is the bars seem thicker, but theres no way because i can bench the same (pretty sure)
and for deadlifts holy shit, at school we used trap bars and I could do a set of 185 no problem, barbell at the gym 135 is out of the question. I'll shit my back before I start
and to top it all off I've lifted since august with a fucking horrid diet.
6'0 155lbs, disgrace
all weights include bar, assuming they both weigh 45, but there's no way they can
weak
i dont even know man
sl 5x5 from august to january, then from jan to now i had to follow something for a weight training class in school, back to SL i guess
i exaggerated on the horrible diet. i dont really drink anything other than water and milk. i love strawberries and grapes and I usually eat chicken, have a turkey sandwich, cereal, or some other stuff.
working for strength

[QUOTE=Shovelpass;35797332]A trap many people fall into when starting to lift weights is the myth of quantity = quality. You don't need to do a million isolations and whatnot like bodybuilders do, at least not when starting out. If you do it right, you're going to be exhausted after doing those big compound lifts.[/QUOTE]
it never is quantity=quality, if you're doing reps comfortably, add more weight.
F*********.
My extertion headache is back. I was doing high rep squat sets for change when it struck at 13th rep @ 100kg. Now I can't do shit without the pounding at the back of my head. It always seems to begin after 4th heavy rep.
Gladly I'm going to Spain on Wednesday so I would have taken a weeks break from lifting anyway.
I've been doing weight training since about 2 years now and have been doing cardio all my life. One thing I noticed during weight training is that my sweat smells much more neutral and really doesn't stink all that much as when I'm going runnig/cycling or even a game of basketball or football. I'm curious, does anyone else have this? Google didn't help.
Now that you mention it, I think my sweat also smells less bad than when I go do cardio, but I'd imagine that might have something to do with the clothes (or the lack of them) in my case. Maybe the clothes you run in don't get a wash as often as the shirts/pants you lift weighs in?
My training shoes smells like death and decay, just after a week of lifting(lift 3 days a week), my pants also smell like sweaty balls. Even if I wash them every other week.
In other news, finally got to lift today after having a cold for some days. I'm also going to go running with my friends sister. Wonder how it will turn out..
Shoes don't count, those abysmal cesspools of evil do not count.
Got depressed and ate under 500 cals for about a month. down from 138 to 133. now i measured and i'm like 126...
My shorts smell like nuts after just a day running in the summer.

Then do something about it. Stop drowning in your own sorrow, it's all in your mind. Nobody else is responsible to that besides you.

Ate 3500 Cals yesterday
Shootinn for another 3500-4000 today :)
I fucked up my knee on my bike. Might have broken something or torn something. Can't walk; going to doctor's tomorrow. :(
Share the results fag, maybe all is not lost.
Found out why my squats are uneven. It boils down to that I'm an idiot, and I've been going down too fast on my squats so I get a little out of balance.
Oh, and I got shitty general balance, so maybe I need to train that too..
If you are able to stand on both legs without falling, including walking, then putting more weight on yourself should make any difference besides the fact it might be harder to get up.
Meaning, it's a form issue probably.

Maybe, I've always been told I have good form, at least on my squats and deads.. I'll see if I can record something next time I lift.

so far they think all my tendons are intact. They put my on some medication and gave me a band to help reduce swelling. i'm supposed to schedule another apt in a week.
What's the best way to get rid of soreness? I'm still sore from yesterday, and i'm going to gym again tomorrow. Can it be done as a warm up exercise? I usually run 10 mins in a high speed as warm up.
Also, i started SS PP and it feels good, i'm gonna keep doing it for now. ( This is why my legs is sore )
coffee actually.
