COMMENTS:
Press was somewhat heavy, and the last rep of each set were slow. I will start to micro load next week.

Nice work.

[RipCJ]

Do you do any stretching PWO?

Do you mean pre-workout or post-workout? If you mean post-workout, not really. I will stretch my shoulders before and occasionally during my rest periods in the workout.

Nice work.

Thanks, Vic.

There are some good reads with stretching. Apparently, it would help a lot with muscle building.

yea it'll stretch out the fascia and allow more room for growth and recovery..

soft tissue work is good too as it'll break up the scar tissue and prevent any discomfort ...

I will now start to stretch both pre-workout and post-workout. Does it matter if I do it everyday or only on days I workout?

I prefer immediately post WO...

But you have to stretch to a point where you literally feel pain in the muscle and just hold it in that position for like 60 seconds.

Google extreme stretching for more info.

stretching pre-workout actually causes a negative effect rather than a positive one. It's better to just warm up on the treadmill / bikes etc and do warm up sets before your exercises. Go for the post-workout stretches though, that'll help a lot

Never work out after school again.




Just a reminder.

Good workout..

annnnnddd...


NEVER WORKOUT AFTER SCHOOL AGAIN!

[MuscleMan009]

I thought Rippetoes was 5x5, why did you do 6 sets of squats and 2 of deads?

Other than that looks good, why no after school lifting?

Rippetoe's novice program is 3x5 except deadlifts (1x5) and power clean (5x3). You're counting warm-up sets when you should only be counting working sets.

[MuscleMan009]

gotcha, thanks

[liftingbuddy1]

Deadlift is looking better every time and it's nice to see a warmup in there!

How did I know that was coming?

Good workout..

Thanks, Brandon.

Thanks, Matt. I can't stand all of the people from my school thinking they know everything and anything about weightlifting (aka bench and curls). All you have to do is look around and you'll see basically every exercise done wrong.

Thanks, Mike. Although I added a warm-up for deadlift, I didn't do too much of warming up for squats and bench press. I just wanted to get in and get out today.

lol yea i know what you mean haha ...


I've got a guy in my gym like that, granted he's big, but he also looks like he's been juicing for like 5 years. Well he's ALWAYS trying to tell someone how to do something or how a program works or whatever and its just funny cause half the time he's wrong. But yea, he's like all about arms, shoulders, chest nothing else.

Squats took some energy, and so did deadlifts. I need to start eating more since I'm not gaining any weight. I've also been slacking off on my protein drinks the past few days.

[vicjg]

Looking strong.

[RipCJ]

I know, but they still suck. At least the weight isn't heavy yet so I can't miss any reps.

x2, Good job CJ

Thanks, Johnny. Sorry to hear about your girlfriend. Go out and have some fun with other girls, it will make her seem much less important.

Looking strong.

Thanks, Vic.

[Arlecchino]

I need to start eating more

This is always a good plan.

[PokLim]

Hey CJ. The workout looks good. Glad to see that the weights are finally challenging you a bit.

Just constantly remind yourself that you're goal is to gain weight and that you need to eat!

Hope you're having a good weekend.

[RipCJ]

This is always a good plan.

I just need to be more consistent in having a caloric surplus each day. Some days I will eat a ton, and others not much at all. I find myself a lot more full when having my protein drinks, which the past few days I have not had. I will always have big dinners each night of the week, a decent sized lunch, but a somewhat small breakfast. I can never find anything that tastes right in the early morning. Throughout the week, I will have one cheat meal from McDonald's or Taco Bell.

Overall, I think I need more protein during the day.

Thanks, PokLim. I had a fun night last night, but tonight I'm just relaxing (and eating).

[no_one089]

Good job man, wont be long now and your lifts will be back up there!

Remember to keep that diet in check
