Thanks for all your inputs.

Initially I was able to lose some fat as well as gain muscle like some of you have said. But right now I am not so fat that I can continue to do that I guess.
I have...

I started with Stronglifts around 2 months ago and slowly shifted to SS about 2-3 weeks ago. When I started, I had the novice aim of gaining muscle as well as losing some of the fat I have. I thought...

Yes, I am using a low bar technique for which I have to lean over more. But I felt that maybe I leaned over too much this time :P



I have never given a lot of attention to my knees except make...

I see what you are saying about bending over too low. I compared this to some of my older videos with lighter weights and could see the point you were making. It is almost like I am converting the...

I was also kind of thinking I was making a mistake with my back. Especially when I felt a sharp pain when I was trying to do the 4th rep in my squats. That is why I did not go for the 5th rep and...

Right now I am at my limits in these exercises. I think I have come to the end of my easy gains. I feel my form is wrong on both these exercises. I am especially worried about my back position. I...

I was also in a similar situation 5 weeks ago. I could not do one pull up. I started with negatives. I would try to do each rep for 8 seconds. I first started with 2x4.. then 2x5.. and so on. I did...

Thanks for the link. I did take a look at it. I will look at the other videos also. Seems like I can already see a couple of places where I may be making mistakes. Especially with respect to the...

Hi all
I was doing my bench workout today (105x5x5) and I felt something weird. I felt exertion somewhere in the area between my chest and my abs. I don't even know what name it has :(. I actually I...

Eat! Eat! Eat! and repeat :)

I really don't think it makes a huge difference as to what body type you are, except if you are an extreme ectomorph. Any good workout will give you good gains irrespective of your body type.

I would suggest starting with the stickies in the nutrition section of BB. Especially for calculating your calorie and macro requirements.

I always work out in the mornings for the big reason that, as you said, the gym is free. I also like it for the fact that it gives me a good wake up call and keeps me pumped up throughout the day :)...

You just have to start with one program or the other. Like other people have suggested, Starting Strength or allpro's beginner routine are excellent choices. As you keep going through the program...

My plan was to slowly transfer to SS only. I am just waiting because I have not yet had the time read up completely about SS, even though I have heard a lot about it and have a general idea. When I...

I did not know that. I will try resting more next time. I was actually thinking that I should decrease my rest times because it was taking so long to finish my workout. And I thought I was cheating...

Agree completely. I am also aiming for a similar goal - getting strong first and then going for aesthetic details.

Yes, I feel I rest enough (60-90 sec) between sets. Actually sometimes I rest too much (like 3 min) :P
I know you are right, I have to face 105 again. I just thought completing a 95lbs or a 105lbs...

I have failed twice to bench 105 lbs. I am thinking of starting over from 95 or 100lbs. In OHP, I failed once @60 and I just managed to complete
it in the next try. I am not very happy with it...

I have been working out (3 times a week) regularly for the past 2-3 months now. I started following the Stronglifts 5x5 program about
a month ago. I started with 5-10 lbs + bar weight for each...
