Originally my goals were just to be lean with some size but times have changed now. It's more rewarding for me seeing the numbers go up on the bar than to look pretty in the mirror lol. I still would like to stay around 12% bf though. I originally did SS because it was a highly recommended program on bb.com for putting on mass all over and well it's done that and I actually enjoyed it, highlight of my day lol. I still want to center my training around the big 3 but change up the rep scheme a bit so I'll do what markos has written there. I'm assuming the SLDL will help put the numbers on conventional deadlifting even if I'm not doing them? Got any good instructional vids of SLDL, never done them before?

Need some advice. Been running starting strength for ~6 months and I want to switch up. Gone from 5'8 65.3kg to 73.5kg Lifts Squat 3x5 - 100kg Deadlift 1x5 - 130kg Bench 3x5 - 77.5kg Was thinking of switching to http://forum.bodybui...=4195843&page=1 The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't use conventional deadlifts.

What warmup sets do you use when trying for a 1rm?

I've been running starting strength for 7 months and I've put on a lot of back size/width, but I do add chins and hanging leg raises once a week maybe twice, you do barbell rows as well (well I do instead of cleans)

inb4 birds does nothing but squat, deadlift and bench 3x a week after going to comp

More height = more muscle can be put on (overall bodyweight) and IMO bodyweight is proportional to the amount you lift. i.e. 100kg person lifts 160kg dl thats only 1.6xbw, 75kg person lifts 150kg dl thats 2xbw. So the 75kg person maybe lifting less but overall he is proportionally stronger than the heavier person, but of course the heavier person will have an ego and be like "bro I can lift more than you"

Nice video, like the speech at the start, song lyrics suit it well.

I've just got the rack in one of my spare rooms, head is pretty close to the roof when I do pull ups . I probably will eventually join a gym again in the near future when I move on from strength training, it's nice to get out of the house after work etc etc.

I love having a power rack/bench and free weights at home

I would barricade my windows and only go out during the day and hunt, then I'll set up manikan dolls around town and pretend to have conversation with them because they the ony friends I got alongside my dog.

Going to read into thise explosive training for calves, will try weight jumps tomorrow though. A lot of people say just squat to get calves, but I do that 3x a week anyway and not seeing any difference really. Dont want to end up like dis. I'm assuming you mean genetics? I don't know, I don't really believe in that whole "I cant grow calves so it must be my genetics", they'll eventually grow with the right training, they just might take longer.

I got a HD clutch does that count lawl. Currently I'm doing calf raises with barbell on my back for 4 sets supersetted with bodyweight for each set 2x a week, 12-15 reps. Not really seeing too much size going on them though Maybe because I'm still slim

Anyone have any tips for building calves?

I would just increase your eating like you said. You can make a DIY weight gainer (grinded oats, PB, milk and whey) which is pretty convenient. tastes alright as well.

Not sure what you mean? I was on $75 hour 45 hour week located in Perth, that's $2100 clear a week. Got made redundant because iron ore giants are pulling out of alot of projects

brb drafting in the mining industry brb $75 p hour brb flexible hours brb desk job

When you make it to the top you should be earning more than $21 an hour I would think.

lmao, I always look forward to reading TTT's posts.

Scoop of whey - 80c

I think you will struggle to get a decent amount of space on the 6ft bar. When I bought my rack I had a 6ft bar, it would fit in the rack but there was only about 20mm from the bit where the plates sit up against to the J-hooks - not very good when trying to rack quickly.

Ammonium carbonate?

Why not do curls and chin ups? Don't rely on compound movements to build a muscle it isnt targetting directly, if you want a particular muscle to be bigger work it directly.

Straps will take away grip strength which IMO is useful. Would use the chalk if its simply 'too sweaty to hold'

Dan weight gain is as black and white as calories in vs calories out. So you're not gaining/losing weight because you're not eating enough or eating too much.
