do you get better gains with 5x5? I've been thinking of trying it out, but I want to get by deadlift and squat better with rippetoes first.

Ya for christmas enjoy yourself, but in moderation like these ppl have said. If you want, maybe just focus on getting your diet in check, figuring out your workout schedule, get all of the planning...

I'd go for vodka, water and lemon, or gin and tonic. But don't worry about it, just drink lots of water as well. Don't get so hungover that you can only eat mcdonalds for breakfast the next day.

Do you find them more effective then pullups for lat development?

lol working out in a garage or barn (like bango) would never work here in the winter... It's been about -40 -30 lately... ridiculous

hey man i hope you didn't give up. Progress is good, how come you haven't posted for a while?

Good journal man! I'm just getting into my third or fourth week on starting strength. I'm jealous, your progress is much more steady then mine!!! Maybe I need to start eating more, but good luck...

I have been trying to bulk clean but have had no success. So this week I increased my calories slightly and every day this week I have been lighter than the previous. Should i increase more, or see...

lol, watch a clock.... 5 seconds is an eternity when it's right in someones face

Right, I'm trying to eat lots of healthy fats



Would it be a good idea to include beans then? I agree that I use too many shakes, but is there an advantage to whole foods?
