squat - 195x5
bench - 185x5
deadlift - 285x5

These are my most recent weights that I use for a 5x5 routine and miss a few reps near the end - this is my first routine since high school. I...

Great for motivation - I dig the one where he talks about bicep curl form because as long as you're not hurting yourself, you shouldn't worry too much about "strict" form because you're still getting...

I realize that, but what I meant to say was that I only train 2 times a week - not 3, which I plan to do on my next go. I also added powercleans.

5x5 lifting has been very good to me too - getting stronger every week. I also do P90X in the evenings, which is when I get my pullups and situps done. Also - a month ago, I started paying more...

I'm in decent shape, same age as you and 5'9" but 165, and all I had to do was hit the weights a few days a week, do some cardio and stay a bit more active than the average guy. This past few...

I tried Assault twice now, and I'm impressed. I didn't have any mudbutt or stomach problems. Effects from 1/2 scoop lasted about 3 hours or so. I lifted for about 40 mins and did intense rowing...
