none. olympic lifting is my therapy. it makes the aches and pains that i had from not lifting go away.

I'm not nearly at this point yet, but if a beginner decides to cut down on bodyweight for the first time, by what percent volume and calories should he cut down on?

Thanks =) Your posts are like a breath of fresh air that make me feel relieved, haha.

wow, I'm way worse off than I thought. did lifting last night. i dropped down 20kg on all of my lifts and STILL felt super fatigued after the workout and only slept TWO, yes TWO hours at night. i've taken way too much out of my body with this lifting, going from no athletic experience to full...

never seen anyone who could squat a lot and didn't have a big ass.

I think coach and I had an misunderstanding. He didn't know how ragged out I was. I've never felt this bad in a long time, even when comparing to being sick. I felt like someone just took all the energy and joy out of me. It's such a weird feeling, but it's like looking at the world in grey...

Thanks. I read the post. I'm going to have to agree with you. It's hard to admit it though, because I have a pretty reputable coach who decides my workouts and watches my technique. In his words, overtraining in weightlifting is extremely rare and super hard, so even though the thought has...

I hit the wall HARD. A month ago I started not sleeping at all. When I first started lifting I had huge trouble sleeping. It subsided for a while. Now it's bad, worse than ever. Been to doctor, got checked out, nothing is wrong with me. My diet is great. The bottom line is, any sort of...

Hey biggt, can you check my post in the can't sleep after workouts thread? Looking for your advice there. Thanks!

I have this problem. No, that's an understatement. I have it BAD. I have to lift at night due to the weightlifting portion of my gym being only open at 5 pm til 10. Even if I do manage a morning workout, it still doesn't help. Whenever I have a day where I go to failure and require a spot, or...

Just looking for some motivation for my training. Wonder what it's possible to achieve with 10+ years of good training under one's belt. If building a very impressive physique can be done without 'roids or not. If someone could post some links or info that would be cool. Thanks.

I hate to interrupt your journal, but you can tell me where you got those pics of the girl in your avatar? She is hot!

Hey guys. It's been a while since I have posted, but I have not stopped lifting or stopped setting PRs. Not going to go to the trouble of listing all of my past workouts, so I'll just list my newest PRs. Squat 308 lbs x 3, will probably hit 319x3 in two weeks. split jerk x 3 = 85kg snatch...

duct tape :P

i meant to say in my post, but it came out wrong, was that i eat a pound of fish or beef with each meal. so on a good day i'll get in 3 lbs, and a half gallon of milk. i've never tried supplements before. any suggestions on what protein to mix in with the milk before bed?
