I'm still in weight loss mode at the moment.

Down from 15st 1 to 13st 10 at the moment which I am very please with. Soon as I hit 13st I'll hit the weights a little (light and lots of reps)

How much is that in a non archaic form of weight measurement?
And there's more than 10 units in one stone? What do you call those, pebbles? :question:

Meh anyways, i'm now officially allowed to post in this thread as a mate of mine has convinced me to join a gym earlier this week - which is something i thought i'd never ever do. But to my surprise i'm actually quite liking the whole using of an astounding array of ultraweird torture devices to tire yourself the fuck out, it makes for good sleepage afterwards and it gives you a weird energy at the same time, it's odd. I bought like a month pass and so far we've faithfully been going every evening... :toothy:

Why the fuck would you want to weigh as little as 170? Why don't you stay at the weight you're at now and just change your body composition.

To parallel is the only way to fly bro, I use a low-bar stance. People think that going low will hurt their knees- it's wrong. Actually, not going to parallel will *cause* knee problems, because your quadriceps muscle actions won't be properly balanced by your hamstrings, which only activate once you get parallel.

squats and deads are so very mental, I (mentally) scream like ronnie coleman LIGHT WEIGHT LIGHT WEIGHT AINT NOTHIN BUT A PEANUT before I squat.

yeah dude, squatting to parallel is the shit. i'm still using your (heavy modified by me) periodized workout btw, i think that it's very good for going to the gym 2-3 times per week (resting two days after each training day) and i find that training the whole body works for me very well. i've switched to sumo DL instead of normal/roman DL to train my legs more (my legs are lacking), any thoughts on this?

I basically do either a 5x5 or 3x5 routine composed of not much more than squats, press, bench, BB rows, and deadlifts.

About deadlifts, I don't think sumo dl's allow enough ROM to help you build muscle. They will let you lift the greatest amount of weight, but I don't think they should be a repping exercise unless you're already doing regular deads.

Read up on this, study it, practice it at home without weight:

Andy, do you remember when you just finished your stint in the military and had no idea what to do with your life? It's nice to see you've found your calling *pat pat*

remember it like it was yesterday... sometimes I still don't know what to do but i fit and somewhat excel in this, and I think i take decent pictures. A couple people want to open a gym with me, probably will in a couple years.

puff, yep that's mah profile :P

just did that workout, did 5 rounds + 3 lifts. A lot harder than I thought it would be... did sloppy clean and jerks instead of quicker snatches to try and stay at a steady pace. will do it again in a couple days but in regular shoes and not heavy oly shoes. want to get 6 rounds
also since there aren't bumper weights here, the small 10lb weight (plus the 5lb) puts the bar closer to the ground so i figured i'd just go below the knee like the standards say you can, but that was way more f'ing tiring than just going down further and letting the ground stop the weight. will do that next time too.

I always thought going to parallel was the easy type of squat, where as full squats (ass to calf) were for real men.

being able to go ass to grass depends on how flexible you are. one you're past parallel, your lower back might start to curve, this is not good.
