It fit my macros.
[editline]30th August 2011[/editline]
Lol meals, I only have 1 real meal a day, dinner, I just eat whenever I want to eat.[/QUOTE]
Once i get rid of the rest of my regular protein, im going to pick up a big fucking gainer (apparently the scoops are huge, but its whatever)
but it has 1250 calories, 300 carbs or so, 50-60 grams of protein.
I figure, if do at least ONE of these a day, and eat just a regular diet, ill be gaining like a fucking horse.
[editline]30th August 2011[/editline]
Assuming of course that horses gain quite fast.
[QUOTE=Septimas;32027797]rofl just got over my unnatural fear of squatting, hit 185 a few times during weightlifting today, when i did a huge quad workout the other day.
swag.
gonna try and hit 205 next week.

Doesn't make sense, are you trying to impress us with the fact you had an ability to eat 180g protein once?
Are you going down to mcdonalds everyday to buy that mac and fries? you eat ham everyday? especially when you said you eat only dinner, sounds weird.

What? Those sentences of mine weren't even connected, I don't eat Mcdons every day, Almost never actually, I do eat ham everyday, It's part of my sandwich, I don't shove ham down my throat.
Dinner is my only planned meal, some times I eat 2 things at once and call that a meal, big deal. It's not like I'm eating 2 1500 calorie meals and then checking off a food diary.
so that list was once in a while meal "plan" ? in that case, I do not give a fook :)
You may think the mac + fries suits your macros but there's more to consider, i.e.
Trans + Saturated fats.
Every big mac has enough of these for 4-5 days and they're not healthy or beneficial to you at all.
Saturated fats are fine for a active individual, ESPECIALLY for people who are doing weight training. They're needed for the optimal production of hormones.
Trans fat on the other hand, yeah lol. Most useless substance ever.
hahhah found a pic of myself from around '08

now read the sticky, didnt before because i'm gay as fuark :v:
Going to do the Westside for Skinny Bastards when I start university.
[QUOTE=NorthernFall;32047886]So is the SL 5x5 plan legit? Any personal experiences?
I move into university in 2 weeks and the Gym they have has filthy fucking cheap rates for students which I was planning on taking full advantage of. No more weights at home.[/QUOTE]yes it's legit, most people here have experiences with it and it's very effective for beginning strength training
[QUOTE=Octave;32048041]yes it's legit, most people here have experiences with it and it's very effective for beginning strength training[/QUOTE]
I actually like Practical Programming routine of SS's, much better. I think chin ups and pull ups are a must in a routine.
I've pretty much taken a break for a bit. For the past week I've noticed that I've been showing way too many signs of overtraining. So I decided I'm going to take four days off and I'm going to start up a lighter, more balanced routine Friday.
So I started at a gym today, met with a PT, got a basic program.
It's all machines, Is this a good idea to start off with? I'm weak as fuck in just about everything so IDK, I've read the sticky and I'm wondering if I should just go straight to deadlifts/squats/benchpress etc.
[QUOTE=ayaki;32054342]met with a PT[/QUOTE]
There's your problem.
Disregard the retard and do what the sticky says.

get rid of the PT, go to the sticky. get one of those starting programs.
Well I was benching today, my crippled arm gave in, I managed to hook the right side in, but the left side fell onto my chest, I thought I had crushed a lung.
It stopped hurting like five minutes later, I went at it again, and I was fine.
Okay, I've done strength training for a good portion of time.
My bodyweight is 152lbs.
My Squat is 220lbs.
My Deadlift is 220lbs.
My Bench press is 180lbs.

Have fun waking up with horrible DOMS.
I just got into my weekly program of: 5x5, program Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and boxing Monday Wednesday.
This is where i start, ill post my progress in this thread.
This is what i look like today.[IMG]http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8743/day1u.png[/IMG]
I was looking at routines and it looked pretty all-inclusive which is pretty much what I wanted.
I'm just looking to progress with a different program, as I've been doing this for about 5 months solid now, going up week by week in terms of the weights I can lift, etc.
Prior to that I was sort-of lifting for a further 4 months, just not very well or organized, or regularly.

Nah, they'll settle down after an awhile.
I've always used a routine which many would consider "random" and ignoring alot stuff people say here, just because I've been really satisfied with the results I've gotten and school, job, running, other activities and sleeping problems have made my every week's weightlifting routine different. There have been some weeks with ridiculous amounts of volume without bad doms.
One thing I believe (yoo dooomb no scientific evidence) is important is variation. You shouldn't stick with same amount of reps for ages. I've silently done even 25 rep sets. Yes it's endurance. But it seems to make me able to do much more reps with low rep weight range too, much faster than doing only low rep sets.
DOMS is for real men
first time i did squats, i knew if i did 1 set i would already be sore the next day, so i went and did 7 sets for the hell of it, along with calves
the next morning i got out of bed and my legs turned in to noodles. Good times.

Anecdotal evidence is pretty much 100% worthless.
Very true. But I myself have no reason to change my habits.
