that's exactly what I needed to hear! I have problems making decisions so thanks for helping me make up my mind :)

yea, I jacked up my knees only a few weeks into it and had to slow down, and then stalled out on everything a month ago from not eating enough. I've been getting back on track but yeah.

I just...

just realized that I've already been charged for this month by my current gym, so I'm pretty much stuck there until the end of the year unless I join another and pay both monthly fees for a month.
...

ya I don't even have hooks lol

so it's either switch gyms and keep going, or cut for a month or two and put it off til the new year I guess.

Not sure which I want to do :(

My lifts have gone up quite a bit since I started SS 3 months ago, but my press is still only at 85 lbs which is where it was just before I reset, so yeah.

I've been following the program to the...

so I figured that since it's been 5 months since I started, I'd post an update. It seems like eating more made all the difference in the world, at least in terms of my mood. I did have to reset my...

Hmm... I never really thought I could need to eat that much, I guess it's pretty obvious now that I hear it though. I definitely think I need to either lighten up or rest for a day, or something,...

So today I tried things out with a 10% reduction in weight, and I could hardly finish my warmups! I feel like my whole body is heavy, and I seem to have quite a bit of pain/soreness in my lower back...

I guess maybe reset by 10%, then increase in 2.5lb increments and see if I can still make progress past my previous max, then take a week off if I'm still stalling?

I have a sneaking suspicion...

so now, not only am I stalling, but I'm actually moving backwards and 3 out of 5 lifts are getting weaker. I've tried going to bed earlier but I've just ended up tossing and turning for a while and...

well good then, haha. I try to weigh myself at the same time of the day on wednesdays, the only problem is I only poop every other day (tmi I know, sorry, I have since I was a kid) so it's never...

actually, i've been keeping track of my waist measurement for about 2 months now, and it hasn't changed at all. if anything, it's gone down about 0.5" in the past month or so, although I can't...

i had really bad problems with flexibility as well, particularly in my IT band, hamstrings, and groin, to the point that squatting was causing me MAJOR knee pain. I have a family friend who's a...

As promised, here's a pic of my progress from the time I started SS on 9/9 until now. Maybe now that I look at the pics I don't think I've gained that much fat, but at the same time I feel like I...

awesome, thanks as always tim.

As for eating more, I think the body fat meter is what has me scared, I cut my calories by about ~100 2 weeks ago and that's when my troubles began, but I didn't...

Hey all,

So, it's been about 2 months since I switched over to Starting Strength from my crappy previous plan, and aside from a few setbacks (I had an issue with knee pain due to bad flexibility,...

Batata is another type of sweet potato, with purple skin and dry white (often flaky) flesh. It tends to have a very low water content (when compared with regular sweet potatos) and a much milder...

anyone?

oh and in case anyone cares, I changed my diet in the following ways:

Breakfast before: Cereal + banana + almonds

Breakfast After: Shake consisting of whey, 1/2 cup oatmeal, milk,...

Do you still see a difference in the first pic? I know it's only 2 lbs, but I honestly don't see improvement when I look at those pics.

It's weird, people tell me I'm on the right track but I...

Sooo...

Figured I'd bump my own thread and update with my progress.

Switched to Starting Strength about 3 weeks ago, which has been working out pretty well so far. My lifts were pretty crappy...
