5/3/1 day failure

I remember reading in one of his books that the de-load week is a matter of taking 3 steps forward, 1 step back. Even failing a prescribed set is 1 step back. Keep moving forward, thats all you can do. When you fail more often, then think about redoing your 1RM and refreshing your numbers...

Information wanted on taking creatine

Like mentioned, drink a shit ton of water, and expect to gain water weight. And know that it is true water weight, depending on your size maybe as much as 10 lbs. What it is for really is an aid in strength training. You wont get much if anything out of it doing endurance work. You will...

5x5 for losing weight

Thats precisely my point. SS's 5x5 program is all about incrememting the weight by 5lbs. Plus you're doing the most taxing movements. If you dont care about incrementing the weight each time, you arent getting stronger, and you arent doing SS. To gain that kind of strength that fast, you...

5x5 for losing weight

A while back some of the bros here skewered me for steering someone away from doing 5x5 as a method of weight loss. I would like to say that i have now done 5x5 with a heart rate monitor, and done normal BB splits with supersets and find that i burn over double the calories when i do...

Anyone do/know about TRT?

Thank you for judging me without knowing the first thing about me, and replying in this thread that clearly needed your ignorant baseless assertion.

Anyone do/know about TRT?

I was looking into the literature on TRT therapy. TBH, i like what im reading and it seems like it might be a good thing for me, but i dont know anyone that has ever done it. I would love to hear some first hand accounts of anyone using it. It is a little daunting learning about it.

Switching my domains from GoDaddy to Name.com...

Ive had a different experience. Ive been buying domain names and SSL certs through them since about 2008 and have loved their support. They actually answered the phone and helped me out. I cant speak to any of the other crap about SOPA or whatnot.

How do I cut out the tummy flab once and for all?

It sounds like your body has adapted to the stress you put on it. Change the stress. About every few weeks.

Can I build muscle with just 2 dumbbells?

to expand on that...you can without them as well, look at bodyweight fitness. So ya you can add some dumbell work to what you do as pushups etc. Something to curl or overhead press. I would also suggest you get a kettlebell or two as well so you dont neglect your back and legs.

Should the weight touch the floor when doing t-bar row?

Both ways are right, depending on what you want. Are you body building or strength building? If body building, drop teh weight, and keep it up, get the muscles fatigued. If you are strength training, then reset after each one and be explosive. Also, the more upright you are, the higher...

B.O.

Dermatologist will make you feel better, mentally if nothing else. He will have actual answers and be able to give you something to take care of it. Its worth your time. Try some gold bond medicated body powder - not the cream - the powder. That stuff will knock the stank off anything. I...

5x5: starting barbell weights, squat form

I had a similar problem when i started SS. My case is flexability, particularly in the ankle. What kind of shoe are you using? I would strongly suggest looking at a weightlifting specific shoe. I have used the Rogue Do-Win, but more preferably, the Reebok Crossfit Oly lifting shoe. Its more...

Help me unfatify myself

I understand this....but that ^^ program of "weights" is not starting strength. Starting strength is 5x5 for the big exercises, 3 days a week with lots of rest and lots of calories....with measured weight added to the bar each workout. Go read his forums. He says all the...

Just saw this. Look into mixing in barbell complexes or kettlebell complexes. You can totally smoke yourself in 20 minutes.

Help me unfatify myself

Having done both p90x and p90x3, i would suggest you lose most of your weight first. Or if you are already athletic and capable, then do the lean version, not classic. You want to lose weight, do cardio. You want to get strong, lift. P90x is somewhat inbetween and you wont get strong from...
