I need help
Okay, so when I'm doing bent-over BB Rows, it feels like i'm using my biceps more than I am my back
how does one go about eliminating this?
[QUOTE=Luuper;34156415]So, verify correct form and keep at it?
Possibly some arm work?
(The book "Starting Strength" says Chinups)[/QUOTE]
If you can rule out fatigue out of that equation, then you should see where exactly is it in the bench you're having a hard time with.
Obviously squat and deads will go up, as you obviously have a lot more time under tension and a general higher workload per week/month for your legs. Is it that same case for your triceps/chest? hmm :)
but, if you are doing the basic ss routine, I say keep it up, for at least 6 month to a year, depending on how progressive your bench still etc etc. If you're already a year in, then I suggest switching to a program that will fit your mechanical advantages better.

taking in consideration the bicep in this movements eliminates rotatory movements around the join, you will always feel it whether you like it or not.
But trust me, if you're using the right form, the biceps should eventually keep up. Also, be happy, most people would like bigger biceps;) I rarely feel mine whatsoever...

[QUOTE=speedy3020;34158701]What's your opinion on this one fellas.
Kicked off a 12wk program last week.
Current weight: 81.5kg
Body fat %: NFI, seriously who carries around a pair of fucking calipers
Daily diet consists of target of ~2400 calories.
[I]Typical[/I] daily intake:
Breakie - 2 eggs (with wholemeal toast if no oatmeal), cup of OJ, oatmeal/whey protein
Meal 2 - 100g Tuna, muesli bar
Lunch - 2 eggs (or replaced with whey protein), pasta/mince meat/chicken (1 cup)
Meal 4 - 100g tuna, 190g plain yoghurt + 1 cup of blueberries
Dinner - 2 eggs, pasta/chicken/mince meat, 1 cup OJ
Post WO - whey protein, muesli bar, spacefood stick
Average protein intake is around 140g
Average carbs intake is around 160-200g
3 days per week of workout, split across Mon, Wed, Fri.
Monday: BB front squats, Romanian deadlifts, BB calf raises, Weighted crunches
Wednesday: Benchpress, Shoulder press, tricep extensions
Friday: Deadlift, Pull-ups, DB seated bicep curls
Typical sets of 3-4 with reps of 6-10 depending on the lift.
Yes I know that's a very light on set, but I've sporadically done more complex sets in the past and I don't really stick with it for more than a few weeks due to so much fucking around. I figure if I get into this one for at least a month I can add variation and routine if required. Or am I just wasting my time?
Goal is to lose body fat and gain muscle. I'm an athletic build and would typically be aiming to gain mass straight up, but the layer of fat floating around my stomach is giving me the shits hence the body fat reduction goal.[/QUOTE]
You're wasting your time obviously because as you've said you "don't really stick to it" for whatever reasons you got going on in your life. I am tired my friend, find your path on your own.
Hey FP, is there any serious differences between using soya and using whey protein?
I vaguely remember someone saying that the trytophan in soya was detrimental, but i'm not too sure.

I see only benefits right now.
I know this isn't post your statistics but...
I can now squat 325 5x5 and I'm almost 17 at 5'5, I weight 170lbs at 11% BF.
I feel pretty beast, should I?

Also, fuck being sick, I can't even go work out, I'm sweating like a bitch, sucks because I almost never get sick...

Soy protein is a trypsin inhibitor. The problem here is that the inhibitor has an effect on a certain percentage of ALL the protein you consume. Meaning that to some degree your overall protein synthesis isn't as great.
There a bunch of other problems with soy protein that are debatable, but I won't go into them here or this post will take all day. Needless to say, I'm of the opinion that soy protein is nasty as fuck.
If you can't/don't want to dairy milk proteins, there are plenty of alternatives: hemp, rice, goat whey, egg, etc.
Goat whey is pretty interesting, I've often heard about supposed advantages of goat's milk over cow's milk, but personally I've always found goat milk nasty tasting and especially nasty smelling. So whey powder would bypass all that.

He tried asking you to post pictures of your bodyfat (or at least find pictures of similar fat deposits) so he could better diagnose your problem, but you got overly defensive about it.

My neurologist said I could start working out again.
For the first time in a goddamn year and a half.

Hm.. I'm not posting a picture if I'm uncomfortable with it, I can't see what you guys don't get about that really. And I can't find any pictures, as I have tried.

Still feeling sore after my first day back on monday, hopefully it will go away soon. Any tips for getting rid of soreness? I heard suspending the muscles in water, like in a bath, can be good.
pain in muscles? need to work out again
[QUOTE=Casnus;34179133]pain in muscles? need to work out again[/QUOTE]
this
benching sore = feels good man
did 5x5 maxed out my squat PR on Tuesday. today am asked to demonstrate bench 12x3 by my coach. almost same weight, challenge accepted.
@soreness Contrast baths, warm baths, different salves, very light cardio, light massage and a nap help with soreness.
Guess i'll bathe then, and go workout tomorrow.
