ok so I went to the gym tonight just to work on my deadlift and see what my one rep max is. I made to 275 with the bar. That makes a lot more sense than the 100 I thought it was. I think I was not accelerating through the move and was going too slow. I do have a little discomfort in my lower...

I think I'm going to push my deadlifts up more rapidly than the program prescribes just because I know thats low. I just want to get comfortable with doing deads first.

Yeah I hear that. I'm just starting to do deadlifts as a part of my workouts so I wanted to start low to avoid injury. I'm just trying to keep good form. Everything else I'm pretty use to. I've done squats on and off but prior to this I was focusing more on leg presses. That's why my squat...

Yeah my gym every bench is adjustable so I have a range of -18 all the way up to vertical. So I was wondering what angle is best? I'm guessing 45 because it works more of the shoulders.

I'm doing the Intermediate 5x5. For Wednesday's workout, what angle does everyone set their bench to for incline bench presses? 45 or 30? Or just stick with military presses?

I love the 5x5. I wish I started it sooner but I think the last two years of working out consistently and taking supplements laid a very nice foundation for the 5x5. Eating is key you have to eat A LOT! This time of the year is great for it because it doesn't really matter if you put on a little...

Is it true MM takes 6 hours to be absorbed into the body?

Re: the roid store Ok, so I got their test suppositories. I tried one yesterday and when I woke up my ass as well as my biceps grew three times their normal size. I'm sold on this sponser. Period.

Be one with the weight

lol

I figured it out. It's not enough of anything if you believe Glutamine, etc. actually works for anything.

Hey I was reading about the 5 x 5 and it says you shouldn't use the smith machine. Is it bad that I use the smith machine for squats? Or any exercise for that matter?

M, 24, 6'1, 200, 10% BF. Bulking right now. Lifting for a few years, seriously for 2 years. Started at 175-180 lbs. I eat clean. No garbage. I get the majority of my protein from red meat and milk. I just started a creatine mono but its making me very bloated so I don't know if I'm going to...

Damn I couldn't find it for free. I found it interesting regardless. In terms of the 20 min component I didn't find it to be for the lazy. It's just more about efficiency. That's what it seems at least but I've only done the shoulder routine and I thought it was good. I still have to try...
