Long story short, I'm 6'1" used to weight 130lbs, started 5x5 three years ago, I'm at 160lbs. Messed up my back at work so I can't do them for three months. I know nothing will replace a squat nor a deadlift but can you guys help me find out a new workout routine so I don't lose strength...

I think on the quote physical vitality is not the same as physical energy, vitality probably goes more towards life force. I don't know...

I read this in a book: "Due to the veiling process the energy transferred from male to female is different than that transferred from female to male. Due to the polarity difference of the mind/body/spirit complexes of male and female the male stores physical energy, the female mental and...

I strained my quads on my right leg (weak one) doing squats. It has been two months with pain :( Besides standing presses, bench presses, dips and chins, what else can I do with spare time while my leg heals?. I thought about inclined bench presses? Or any isolated for a muscle I'm missing? I...

I was doing them three times a week, 3x20. This is when I was working out at home. Very tired/sweaty...

That 50/50 is what I calculated too, my goal for the moment is mass, when I get to where I want I'll go for strength/endurance. I had the same problem when I started benching, my triceps would be really sore, they got bigger tho, on my left arm (weak one) I have stretch marks. What you say makes...

haha I wouldn't put money on 11% so I'll go for 15% :P

Less than 15%, I'd say 11%.

As for the calories I think I'm eating enough since I'm gaining around a pound a week. The 5th of the 130lbs is almost failure, I really struggle to push that thing up. I'm gonna try that though, maybe do 140lbs on my 3rd or 4th set?

I started benching like 70 pounds with my stats being 130lbs 6'1" and around 7%BF, I'm now at 167lbs 14%BF benching 130lbs. I was doing a 5x5 with the same weight on all lifts. I'm now doing a progressive load 95x5, 105x5, 115x5, 125x5 and 130x5. I've been stuck at 130lbs for over a month, did a...

Did a thrusters tabata session yesterday, spent over two hours making a timer just to find out there were already some in you tube, look for tabata training timer on youtube, mine is the black one with white numbers. I did it with a set of 5lbs dumbbells, yeah, I know... by the end I was light...

for each: 5x5 Bench press 5x5 Pendlay row 5x5 Overhead Press 3x20 Squats I just go by the feel, whenever I think I can do the next one... How important is timed rest between sets? Also I'm doing 1x5 Deadlifts, once or twice a week, should I be doing more? Thanks!

Red cap fat milk if you are not drinking it already, I'm new to all this but It works for me.

Yeah I'm a newb and trying to gain muscle, I'll take another week off to fully recover and work on that stretching, thanks.
