Yup, its that simple. If you arent gaining weight then you arent eating enough. You many think you are eating a lot, but the truth lies on the scale.

Its just the area where your body happens to store fat, the little fat that you have. It sucks, but I guess you just have to deal with it.

I cant answer your question, but my experience has been identical to yours. It seems the more I stretched the more pain I would get in my hip flexors. But if I would leave it alone, everything would be fine.

Actually, since you are taxing your body more when you do compound lifts(cus they work so many muscles) your glycogen will be pretty depleted after a 5x5 workout. So go ahead and have a high carb PWO meal. Whether you you dex or some other carn source(oats, fruit, etc) is your personal choice...

I actually LOLed after while reading this. ;)

Hey guys. I havent updated my journal here in a while, but yes I am still lifting and lifting hard. I am doing a modified WS template and so far so good. Set some new PRs in the last few weeks too.....210x3 for bench press and 275x3 for squat.

Just read through your journal starting from the last time I posted. OMG dude....you are a fucking beast like no other! BTW, you should come train with me at x-sport :D

AB- thanks for the comments. I will be aware of that when I do deadlifts next. G5.0- I look skinny as heck in the vid for some reason. Maybe its the angle, maybe its cus I am actually skinny. I dunno. But I weight almost 170 and I am 5'8''. I guess I carry my weight well...sorta.

AB- thanks for checking out the vids and giving an honest critique. I am not exactly sure what you mean though :) Are you talking about when I am finished a rep and put the weight down. I have always kinda had trouble with that part of the lift. Thats great that the squats looks fine. The funny...

Some vids. I hope they work... http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=6061248 (255x5 deadlift) http://media.putfile.com/P1010317 (same as above) http://media.putfile.com/squat12 (260x3)

sounds easy enough. i probabaly wont be able to figure it out cus i am a computer tard, but ill give it a shot. thanks man.

Haha....thats what I did, but I couldnt find a program to upload the video. Is there a certain program I need for this?

Just a quick update: This week I am figuring out what program to use next, so I am just doing a bunch of core lifts at the gym. BTW, I took a vid of myself doing DLs using my digital camera. Can anyone explain to me how to upload this on my computer?

You are my idol! :D

Sounds like your plan is working. Keep it up man so you can get the bar on your back ASAP!
