280lbs 5x5, currently working my way up another 5x5 but going 1-2" below parallel this time around instead of just to parallel. Did squats yesterday, legs more sore than usual due to depth =) btw I keep on looking retarded as I accidently call the movie SWAT, Squat instead and it's happened...

It is more politically correct for an out of shape person to mock someone who trains hard than it is for someone who trains hard to mock the out of shape fat people.

Once I get to about 66% of my working weight for a 5x5 it feels heavier than I always expect.

Reading posts here and watching video's people post is a big plus in keeping me going at times, I have learnt so much reading about peoples experiences here. It's one thing knowing how one guy reached his goals but hearing first hand information on how a whole lot of people go about training is...

This is the story of me physically, going from short thin pale boy to a devotee of weight training. Personally I’ve never been a sports player on any real level, I used to be a semi decent football (Soccer) player and good enough to play for both my schools and a local private team, but I was...

I have read (some news website some time back) that these types of machines have had to change their advertising because anything that makes specific claims that you will lose weight or change your body configuration needs to be substantiated by scientific evidence. There was no evidence for...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2002225.stm Surely this is just going to weaken the persons own muscles, i do really think the elderly are the ones who would benefit most of all from weight training.

I find that odd also, you'd think that they would want someone who loves their product to be manager of a place, someone with enthusiasm for what they are doing and the passion to share it with others. The manager at my gym is a thin fat guy, you just lose confidence in the gyms mission when...

That's the best :fro:
