Re: So I screwed my back again...
Thanks Stu. Yeah I've spoken with several Dr's about it and they've given me different explanations. One said if I am going to squat, use light weights and go for more reps. But if I feel any aggravation whatsoever, have a few weeks off. Another gave some fairly reasonable sounding advice by way of ...

So I screwed my back again...
I was lifting a pot the other day. Had my knees bent, completely crouched and came up slowly , leaning back as I would a deadlift, but now I've aggravated the herniated disk in my lower back. I'm pretty scared of getting under a bar for squats again. My form musnt be correct and I don't want to keep...

Re: Routine for my lazy @.$$
Thanks guys. I'll be doing 10-12 reps of each, because I screwed my back doing squats about a year ago on the 5x5 program (which I followed to a tee) and I find it easier to keep form with lighter weight. Also, I'm more interested in building size than strength. And because of my lack of fitness, th...

Routine for my lazy @.$$
I've posted on here a couple of times and have had successes with various workouts at various points in my life. Anyhoo, I'm trying to set up a routine that consists of 3 compound exercises that will cover the basics. I'm mainly interested in putting on some muscle and gaining a bit of strength. I a...

Re: 5x5 Squat Injury at 5th week
Thanks Kenny.
Yeah I think I'll do some core strengthening exercises in place of squats for a while. I'm just gonna start the squat with the empty olympic bar again in a few months and go from there.

Re: 5x5 Squat Injury at 5th week
Thanks moss. Could you walk when you hurt your back? Did you do something similar to what I described? Yeah I understand what I'm lifting isn't huge or even particularly heavy. I was always aiming at powerlifting, stronglifts type stuff, but I didn't make it past week 5 this time around. :thumbright...

5x5 Squat Injury at 5th week
Hi fellas, it's been a while. Sorry but this is gonna be a long post. I got back into training about 2 months ago, having purchased a solid olympic bar squat/bench setup. I decided I'd start on the 5x5 workout because I've read so much about it, and it eases your body back into working out. Anyhoo, ...

Re: simple workout
Thanks for the advice.
I think I'll add face pulls on days 1 and dumbell rows on day 2. Good idea. I thought it looked a bit push orientated.
I'm not all that fussed about arm and shoulder accessory stuff at the moment...
Won't i be getting enough incidental core work through squats and deads?

simple workout
I just joined a gym for the first time and want a simple workout I won't be overwhelmed going to the gym for. I'm basically going for a Rippetoe Starting strength style workout (Day 1 and Day 2 alternating 3 days a week) but with pull-ups incorporated (which coincidentally is the name of the gym I j...

Re: Belly Fat Diet
Alright now I've said that let me just play devils advocate to my own suggestions so you can disprove them. From Friday to Sunday afternoon I don't really eat much, but I don't workout either. If I eat, it'll be a fruit salad and a sandwich or something on the Friday, but then I skip dinner and put ...

Re: Belly Fat Diet
I can say with absolute certainty now that my alcohol intake basically ruins any sort of hope I have of losing my excess fat. I've been dieting on the low carb/high protein style diet touted by most of you guys, doing fairly intense weights sessions and walk/runs a few times a week, and although I'v...

Re: A diet I can actually maintain...
Haha yeah i just saw that post and had no idea where it came from. Seriously though is that cream of celery stuff bad? I thought those numbers looked pretty good. I put in one can which is about 3 times the serving values per 2 x 425gm can tuna and half celery and onion. Last night I had no rice. I ...

I think it's a fairly good meal even with the cream of celery. This is the nutritional information per serving. You'd have about a serving with the tuna and other stuff.

Any Given Sunday.
My housemate throws this one on occasionally when we're doing weights.

Re: Why don't we attract more quality members?
I agree with KenDowns. It seems like we've got our dukes up from the word go. Why not just change it to "Uncomfirmed @$$h0l3" I occasionally ask questions on this forum and more often than not it turns into an attack on my ignorance.
