Sooo... Turns out my surgeon cut a nerve in surgery, can't feel anything along the left side of my forearm
from the middle to halfway through the thumb, kinda sucks, don't really know what to think...
On a lighter note, I shall go to the gym for the first time in a month soon, just for some leg/core work, and some MMA.
So what is a good food that is pretty easy to make/get that has a good amount of protein which I could add to my lunch? I am about 5'6 and weigh around 125 pounds

Well if i remember correctly you haven't been doing SL for long have you? (or ss)
As mentioned in my post, 4 months.
Ah okay I didn't see that.
Seriously thinking of just trying out convict conditioning instead of embarrasing myself with shitty lifts at the gymagain.
[QUOTE=Ruski v2.0;33191796]Seriously thinking of just trying out convict conditioning instead of embarrasing myself with shitty lifts at the gymagain.[/QUOTE]It's worth it. And plus it just feels better working out with your own body, imo
[QUOTE=Ruski v2.0;33191796]Seriously thinking of just trying out convict conditioning instead of embarrasing myself with shitty lifts at the gymagain.[/QUOTE]
nigga is u srs
Just lift and improve
Stop being a little pussy and worrying over what people think when your lifting.
Seriously, they have better things to do than worry whatever your fuckin doing.
And your working out so your better than the percentage of people that dont lift
Oh fuck, I think I figured out why my left shoulder has been so fucked up. My rhomboids do not stretch, at all. I'm thinking they are pulling my shoulder blade back constantly and fucking with my range of movement making almost everything weird.
Would it be a good time to start cutting if I've gotta fix this? I'll still be able to strengthen some smaller muscles with isolation work to get things going again even if I've got a calorie deficit, right?
feels good being the littlest guy in the gym
oh wait WHAT GYM fuckmylife
So a friend of mine got me to start going to the gym with him, and I fucking love it. For the longest time, I planned on doing little things to be in better shape, but instead I bit the bullet and starting hitting up the gym.
Some of the stuff he has me doing is TOUGH (lack of experience or gym time), but I feel so good when I'm leaving the gym. I'm aching all over, but it feels so good to finally be bettering myself!
I went to the gym today for some assessment. They asked about my goals and did some exercises.
A couple questions about strength/endurance/cv
Is it a bad idea to get strong and then do endurance? Will I lose strength even if my diet is fine?
I understand cardio would be fine when I do strength as well if I eat right/enough correct?
When will doing cardio hurt my gains? Is there too much?
If the first question does not work, what should I do about endurance?
So today i feel good and bad. First, i did 2 more reps than regular while benching 135 (more than my weight)
But i'm said because i got my ass kicked in wrestling by a quick black dude who weighs like 119 pounds. And i weight like 127. I still suck..
Lemoncurry, for your chest day, why are you doing close grip bench press? Close grip BP is an exercise that is for triceps (Will increase your chest output dramatically though).

[b]General tips:[/b]
Proper amount of reps in terms of ascertaining goals:
strength ~1-5
mass ~6-12
endurance ~12+
In order see the optimum progress get a good amount of sleep and eat a lot of the right foods (if you have questions post your current diet and ask for advice accordingly).
Proper form is very important to lifting as well. Not only are you denying yourself the best possible work out by ignoring form but you are also putting yourself at risk for injury. If you have questions about form post videos of yourself for critique or you can try to ask, just be sure to explain yourself clearly or it won't do any good.

To get strength is to get muscle. Bodybuilding, weight training, CrossFit, and Circuit Training are all good places to start increasing your strength.

That's why they asked you for goals.
You can't be a triathlon runner and a powerlifter at the same time. Different goals, different exercises, different ways to output power etc.
Choose. Endurance weight training would be called bodybuilding. Powerlifting is raw-strength output, Olympic is explosiveness combined with strength.

When do you guys suggest i move on from SL 5x5?
I am 160 lbs and 5' 10" tall.
My lifts:
Squat: 185 lbs
Bench: 100 lbs
Rows: 120 lbs
Press (This is embarrassing): 70 lbs
Dead Lifts: 200 lbs
I do SOME cardio at times, but not very much.. Like about one time per week. I warm up with 5 minutes of cardio though.
So, what should my goals, weight-wise, be before i change routine?
Also, what about my routine should i change then?

You should change routine when SL dosn't fit you anymore. If you can keep increasing with the help of the program you should stay on it, or atleast that how i look at it.
Im doing 5x5 myself atm and ive reached 142kg DL,95kg bench and so on. All the programs out there will eventually end up in the same, you getting big ;)
Weighed 99,3kgs this morning, been so very long since I last weighed under 100kgs. Sorta feels good.
after my last workout, my forearms hurt like hell cus of muscle tension so i got myself some tigerbalm and applied it to the muscles that hurts
how long should i let it chill?

Generally just suck it up and take it like a man.
3 days and all pain goes away usually.
