I have struggled with traveling too.
- I travel Monday to Thursday
- Hotel gyms just do not have enough equipment to keep me on a program
- Drop in charges are too much and difficult to figure out...

I often go surfing or snowboarding and need some ideas what I can bring as a bag lunch with me that fits a Keto diet

Best if not too bulky so I can bring on the slopes

Do starting strength A/B a week
5/3/1 has a twice a week variant

CUT! 3-6 months sounds like a great idea, might make 2-3 months of newbie strength gains during cut

If anything, please train legs or you may end up with twig legs and a large upper body

Squats and deadlifts are scary at first, don't let that prevent you from working them

Got bench to 260 lbs x5 reps per set, stalled, deloaded, back at 260 x5 reps per set and stalling

all other lifts are following good linear progression past my last deload weight
Squat & Deadlift...

yep, you are right. when most people say 5x5 they mean madcows which I assumed, stronglifts is an actual 5x5

so to answer the OP, on your stronglifts tracker (bottom right), it recommends after 2...

I think the 5x5 and 3x5 is confusing, as 5x5 really is 1x5 in disguise as only one set is at a working weight, where 3 sets are for 3x5

I've found for myself, at lower weights, I need more working...

I like how you lowered the working load for squat and bench press but kept the load for shoulders. I've definitely had issues with shoulders and rethinking things, I think I need to keep OHP and PC...

I do monday wednesday friday, and if something comes up I do monday thursday saturday, and if something more comes up I do twice that week and don't sweat it

if you get injured, take the time off...

good luck - i am no expert but from what I understand you will make gains if you
1) continue a program with progression
2) eat enough
3) sleep enough
4) don't get injured frequently where you...

The book changed nothing for me except form. I think starting with just the internet is fine, you won't understand most of the book without some experience under the bar. After 3 months of learning...

What I read in the book matches what a PL in his late 40's instructed me to do to progress and stay healthy

1) Feet on the ground, GROUNDED
2) Back slightly arched, not bridged
3) Bar over the...

I made gains without the book and stalled after 3 months. I bought the book, helped improve my form and my approach, I broke through a plateau.

HISTORY
I started with "Starting Strength" at 3x5 working sets for Squat, Bench, Power Clean, Deadlift, and Overhead Press.

After hitting around 275-285 squatting, found that I could not do this...

How much weight do you use? I feel like there is no time to recover. Squatting everyday sounds like a recipe for injury.

Otherwise, this thread has been extremely interesting reading All Pro's...

I've had issues with Madcow to, just stalled after 7 weeks and reset. I don't think there is enough heavy lifting in this program for beginning-intermediate lifter. I'm restarting but merging...

Try box squating, it will train you to sit back more when you go low so your knees barely move except up and down

this is an issue for people who do not sit back and lean forward instead

would like to try white flood
