bumping this because i'm a tall ecto and not many people on here or in my gym seem to use a routine like mine... I was doing 5x5 and cut down to SS because I was wearing out pretty quick and had a...

I missed some time earlier in the year due to moving cities and not being able to find a gym that worked with my schedule. I've been back at it for a month or two now and went back to Starting...

I've been seeing people for years and have a good handle on it. Squats I am generally ok with but Rows and Deads are not going to work for me any more. Are DB rows really that different?

Can I do this with DB Rows instead of BB and eliminate Deadlifts for something else? I have a back condition that is becoming more serious and I need to ditch these types of exercises. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

My problem is with the actual bending/torque placed on my hips and back during the movement so even with a sl or rdl I think I have to avoid it. Squatting usually isn't a...

I've been doing SS and Jason's 5x5 for a while. My back is made of glass from a disc issue & break many years ago but I made a decent start on these programs. I've had to cut out deadlifts completely...

I've recently changed cities and started a new job and having a hard time getting to the gym on the kind of schedule I'm used to keeping. I've been doing a 3x week full body. Now, I can only get to a...

I'm a 6'4" or so ecto with spondylolesthesis. I've done a 3x5 and 5x5 for over a year now. Originally it felt really good for my back but now I'm finding even with my lifts progressing, my spine just...

Hi guys, I had a lot of setbacks last year and during the summer months of this year, but went at SS pretty hard since March. I got my strength up a lot. It's not great yet but I feel I've made some...

Could you guys take a look at my macros?

These numbers are conservative. I end up eating a lot more than this usually, but more or less the same foods. Will have fruit post wo sometimes or...

Thanks for the replies guys.
It's a stage one, maybe two but I believe it's mild. I haven't had it looked at in a few years because I was fed up with the doctors/physio/chiro not really being able...

Hey guys,
I've made some good (good for me, anyway) progress on Starting Strength over the last few months. I had a hard time with a foot injury last year and couldn't keep the weight on but...

Thanks a lot for the reply and link - that website looks like a great resource. I have spondylolisthesis which can be quite painful some days so I am very careful of what movements I am doing. I've...

I've been doing SS for a while now and am seeing steady gains but am quite tall and started very skinny (still pretty skinny). I understand it takes time but the biggest issue for me is that I lost a...

Hi,
I am getting ready to start a cut and am looking for a whey powder that's pretty widely available in the UK and is good value for the money. Something I could find at holland & barret unless I'm...

Thanks. How much can I expect to lose?

Hi guys,
this was my first year of lifting. Started with SS and moved to Allpro. Broke my foot a couple months ago so had setbacks but generally happy with first year progress. Could have done...

Hi guys, if there is an injury section on the board I couldn't find it, sorry.

I was doing calf raises with a very low weight last Monday. I injured myself but here is my situation... It didn't...

Putting together my numbers for my first day tomorrow and have some questions.

1 - Switching over from SS. To get my 10RM is it accurate to plug my latest 5RM from SS into a calculator and go with...
