^---- In defense of strong lifts, Mehdi is pretty adamant about MINIMIZING cardio to focus on the lifting... I played high level basketball for 20+ yrs. It is brutal on your body & impacts recovery....

Why is your workout taking 2hrs?

Make sure your protein intake is good & cut out basketball for a bit. Review your form on lifts. You are still progressing. Deloading is normal.

Fair enough... 2.5yrs since my vasectomy 100% no regrets. My horror story: The doctor took care of the right side first. When he got to the left side, for some reason the anesthesia wouldn't take. He...

I suggest looking into the programs Kimm4 posted. Focus on calorie intake & compound lifts. I'm not an advocate of personal trainers. I won a drawing a few years ago for 10 free sessions with a...

This... You aren't missing anything though. The program is written that if you miss any reps you repeat it. After 3 failed attempts you drop 10% & keep plugging. It's not uncommon to feel a little...

OP-Arian11, I am eyeing DUP#3 that you posted. I fits my current schedule. I have a couple questions.

After the 6wk period, should I deload a week? Do I add 5-10lbs to each lift & repeat?...

Same here.

I hit 405 a few weeks ago but never posted it. I hit 420 last Tuesday. I could have done at least 1 more rep but racked it. My form was excellent, everything was so tight, I hit the bottom & came...

I see so many guys doing this with squats & deads... I start every exercise with 2x5 of the bar & progress slowly from there.

how did that happen? SL5x5 will be a perfect starting point once you recover.

OP Bill,
I follow Stronglifts 5x5 earlier this year. i'm an experienced lifter but I was out of shape... I made some slight modifications to the starting weight. I followed it for about 15wks. I...

I get that butterfly feeling often. 2 weeks ago, I had 350 x3 & it felt heavy as hell. I racked it & thought "now how the hell am I going to get 390 up!?" Well, it came time to go at 390... I was...

This. I put my ring fingers on the rings. I have about a 6'11 wingspan @ 6'7... Also, 5x10 @ 50% 1RM once a week seems to be helping me A LOT. Great form work & it seems to be helping me drive the...

I was confused at 1st. He was bouncing it so hard. I was like, "He's going to hit 725!?"

The 1st try was soooo bad!! Why did he try again!!?

I agree with this. Set it down & reset form.

I had surgery on both sides 1 month apart in 2006. I was back on the basketball court as soon as the stitches were removed. Shooting a basketball was excellent, the natural wrist flicking movement...

You can use the 5/3/1 alternative boring but big method. You have your 5/3/1 deadlift then on squat day the assistance work is deadlifts 5x10 @ 50%. I've been following this for 4 cycles now. It...

I did 390x2 on 10/7. I should hit 405 in 4wks.

I resisted the over/under grip for a long time. I finally switched 2 weeks ago because I got tired of my grip failing me in the high 300s. I could feel my body would handle more but I just couldn't...

It was difficult to tell in the video but it looked like the weight wasn't coming up in quite a straight line. You could be losing some leverage there.

I do 5x10 @ 50% bench on OHP days. I do the...
