I've thought a lot about how I want the programming to be on this workout. For squat I'll...

I got my days mixed up a bit but man it was so great to do my first strength workout at a healthy weight in 6 years, light weights be damned.

Squat 135 / 3x5
Bench 105 / 3x5,5,6 (lost track)...

Major change of plans. I can't change the thread name, but I will be doing a modified Starting Strength program with the Pendlay Row. I've used SS 3 or 4 different times after layoffs and had great...

Last time I worked out diligently was 6 years ago. Since then I ballooned up to 211, cut down to about 165 over the last 5 months, and lost some muscle and strength in the cut. I thought my diet was...

Without counting a single thing it is hard to know with any degree of certainty where your diet really stands. I would recommend eating a wide variety of foods over a month or so and record and pay...

Interesting, and makes a lot of sense. I was considering making the swap but might keep it as is now. Thanks!

Why must you swap out front squat and RDL with DL and a leg curl? You are taking a posterior chain exercise and a quad dominant exercise and swapping it out for a posterior chain exercise and a...

Check the stickies. There are plenty to choose from. Lots of people can attest to the fact that a full body workout is best for somebody who’s just starting out. That would be best but you could do a...

"Do as little as necessary, not as much as possible." Do the basic abbreviated workouts, and when you stop progressing, add some complexity. And when that stops working, add a little more. There is...

Cardio is definitely not necessary and is a pretty inefficient way to burn fat. Diet is extremely important, IMO about 80% of the body composition battle. You could spend 45 min burning 300 or...

Saturday I guided my mom through a workout at Planet Fitness before heading to the big kids' gym and doing my own workout. Got my accessory work done at PF, which I think I'm going to continue to do,...

The gym I go to closes at 9 on Thursdays and Fridays, which I did not know going into my workout last night. I had to fit everything into about 40 minutes.

Worked out in the evening yesterday. It was crowded but with three squat racks I got in pretty quickly.

First full workout with everything included and I was in and out in 53 minutes. Paired up...

Dragged my ass getting to the gym. I just gotta get in the habit of waking up early. Trying to get my gym schedule and nutrition on point this week. Here's what I did yesterday.

I've thought a lot about how to proceed and have come up with the following plan :

-Continue on SS MWF (revised goals are 315/225/315 which should be more than doable even when dropping 35...

A lot has happened in the last few days. I had a crazy Crossfit workout on Thursday, spent the next 4 days sore as ****, and decided there's no way I could do Crossfit to any degree while doing...

This will be my third (maybe fourth) time on SS. I haven't lifted in four years aside from an epic failure at Planet Fitness, and it's time to get serious again. I've done a couple of Crossfit...
