That's one of my main questions...I have a tough time keeping my back straight just reaching down to pick the weight off the ground. I assume this is bad hamstring flexibility causing that. Is it...

Thanks for everyone who commented so far. I appreciate the feedback. As promised, here is a video of me deadlifting (135, 185, and 265 pounds). Again, the reason I'm posting is I tend to hurt my...

You might be okay, but you probably want a precision of 0.001 grams (1 mg) because sometimes that last mg will make the difference.

Thanks for the input guys. I try to look down because that's what it says to do in Starting Strength. Regarding toes or heels...I try to stay on my heels, but occasionally I'll feel myself swaying...

Hi All,

I have a tendency to hurt my lower back every couple of months, and it's usually from squatting or deadlifting. Can you please check out this video and let me know how I can improve my...

That's a pretty tough goal if you are measuring your BF% correctly.
Now: LBM: 118.68 Fat Weight: 19.32
Goal: LBM: 140.76 Fat Weight: 12.24

So, your goal is to lose 7 pounds of fat and gain 22...

Hi All, Thanks for your help so far. Here's what I did this morning:

5:00am - woke up, ate 1 cup oatmeal, 8 oz milk, 8 oz water.
5:15am - 12 oz water, 1 scoop Green Mag, 1 scoop White Flood, 2...

That's a good point. I take my preworkout stuff as soon as I wake up (5:00am), and I don't really eat any food until 9:00 or 10:00am. With so many shakes in the morning, I just got rid of breakfast...

I know Torrent contains creatine...does anything else? I really like Torrent, but I only take it on lifting days, so I can't use that as my sole source of creatine. By taking Green Mag and Purple...

Hi All,

I am currently stacking Controlled Labs White Flood, Green Magnitude, GlycerGrow, Purple Wraath, and Universal Torrent.

I tried today and this is how I did it:

30 minutes pre...

Hi all. This is going to be a long and detailed post, so thanks in advance to everyone who reads through it and provides feedback. I’m going to lay out my plan for this year and I’d like any...

Hey everybody. I've got an idea for a small business and I wanted to get your opinions. I was making all my meals for the week last night (grilling up 7 chicken breasts, making a bunch of brown rice,...

Yeah, I've already had these discussions with plenty of people. Personally, when I diet, the only thing I worry about is calories in/calories out and protein levels. I agree, there's no such thing...

Hi All,

I was just re-reading Starting Strength to make sure my form was spot-on, and I came across this section:


So, does anyone actually do this? I tried it today and it was challenging. ...

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been asked a million times. I'm trying to find information on Madcow's 5x5 program. I've searched the forums, and all I keep finding is this link: ...

Thank you for this advice. I was definitely not resting enough. I simply forgot that this is a STRENGTH program, and it is recommended to wait as long as necessary to get the next set. I used a...

For squat I did 220 on Wed and will be doing 225 tomorrow.

I guess my thoughts go like this: What's the point of failing 2 more times before resetting? Or, let's say it goes like this: next week...

Hi All,

I started Starting Strength on 8/23 and I stalled for the first time yesterday. I'm just looking for any feedback you may have as to why I stalled, what I should do from here, etc. I...
