thanks, uhh i am not too sure how many eggs were in the sandwiches
Definitely more than 3 or 4 i believe. I will find out tomorrow and let you know.Wondering, i wasn't really hungry 2 hours later after my breakfast
But i still ate the egg sandwich... is that same with you? or since your bigger you get hungry quicker?Yeah and pizza, i eat that as a cheat meal. My only cheat meal actually, but that is once in 2 weeks, or lucky once in a week. Some weeks it may be twice, but rarely normally once every 2 weeks to once a week.
I love my pizza
right now its fine but i will def. have to cut it out later on to a minimal. Just trying to get fat first 
last things i forgot to add...
Did you read jdid's post? about dropping down to 95lb's for squat??? I am considering, and would like some other input. You suggest that?
Alright I'm going to see how i feel on Wednesday and go by that. I know i have good form, i just don't get power out of the fucking heels, which is what would help me a ton. Still going to try it through the warmup sets.
^this...
Workout B – Rippetoe’s 3x5
Squat – 95lb
Military Press – 80lb
Bent Row – 125lb
I will touch up on Press and Row first. I got no clue why but press was really hard today compared to Friday. No idea why but I still got through the full sets. Struggled with the last 2 reps on set 5 but I got them up. Row I shouldn’t have moved it up, I will go back down to 120lb. They kind of sucked, but I don’t mind they went decent. Still going to move it down though next workout. Question – I know on Press it’s hard to move up, I don’t mind that much but on the Rows is it supposes to be hard to move up? Or should I be able to go up 5lb’s each workout?
Squat! Hmmm lots of stuff to say. It went well, I have no idea why, I was struggling much, but I still struggled like 1 rep. I have a feeling it’s not cause of the weight they, but the way I went down fucked up. So I got through the 3 sets no problem, it was still heavy but it went well. I tried some different things during the reps. Some reps honestly went great! It felt as if I was lifting nothing, as opposed to some reps I struggled. Now I curled up my toes, and it helped but not a ton. It did help, and I am going to keep on curling them up. I tried different things like sitting back more; whatnot and it went well sometimes. I would like to keep it at 95lb just ONE more workout to see if I can get a hang on certain things. I just read a little section again in Rippetoe’s book, the section about center of balance with the bar, so the weight is center foot. Also watched a video on that by him, it seems that may just be my problem. Of course it’s hard to master, but I need to learn how to center the balance of the weight, so when I go down I don’t go where my balance is thrown forward, which is alternatively why I end up on my toes, or too far back where I end up almost falling. That’s what I MAINLY tried out today, and that’s why some reps went better than others.
Other than that nothing much else to say about squats unless I forgot something. Definitely looking forward to Friday’s workout session!
Btw, any tips on center of balance when the weight is on my traps?

Dude- at this stage, i think after a really good rep that you feel went near perfect that you should put the bar back on the rack, and write down why you feel it went perfect. Idc if it's rep 1 or rep 5 because i think in the long run this will help you.
Rows you can stay at the 120 if you want. For Press, i would give 85 a try and see how it feels if you hit 80 for 3x5 twice. Did you try not to let the bar sag down during presses and if you did, how'd it feel?

Yeah, see i read through SS that it's good to get a mental image, and feeling for a good rep and try to repeat that rep. That is what i do, which is why sometimes i go slow, but that fucks me up because i'm trying to create a mental image of how i went down, how fast i went down, how i came up, and how fast i came up. I won't stop, because that would mess up the rythm, i try and get a picture in my head of how my body went so i can repeat that.
Rows definately going to move down to 120. And presses i will give 85 a try Monday.
EM, yeah i got your PM and i did just that during my workout today. It definitely was not easier, but i felt it just a tad more than before because i was not resting. Still went good though, i liked doing it that way because some reps i felt like i got some real power in my press compared to before. but some of them lacked. Thanks for the pm
tomorrow's workout A! can't wait
oh just a change, i fail at counting hahahh
Presses i HAVE been doing 85lb's, i will try for 90 next workout if i can.

Great workout today!!
Workout A - Rippetoe's 3x5
Squat - 95lb
Bench - 135lb
Deadlift - 190lb
Thought my workout went great!! Nothing much to say, squat went awesome, i know i definitely could have moved it up, but that is going to start Monday for sure. Just wanted to try some other stuff out today, and it went well. I really have nothing to ask.
Bench Press, awesome. No assistance needed, i am weighing if i should move it up or not. second workout and i didn't need a bit of assistance. It was tiring only on the last set, the 4th and 5th reps but i got through them no problem.
Deadlift nothing to say, i would say my form is great on that. I am staying infront of the bar with my shoulders, and i have been locking out simantanously.
I have a bunch of downsides now.. Making me depressed.
So i had a bloodtest done last week, and my results came back yesterday... My liver count is up, i don't know by how much but I am going to get all the papers Monday hopefully.
It sucks, my parents are just freaked a little bit. They think i am going to kill my organs in the process, and want me to stop. Just to go to the gym, do cardio, weights, eat good, and come home.... I don't want to fucking eat good, i want to bulk and you guys tell me not to do cardio so i don't.
I am getting a dietitian appointment made next week, and a doctors appointment to see whats up. What can i do??? I want to keep on bulking, but my parents are saying no.... i know they care about me and all, and don't want my liver to get fucked but honestly, i don't want to be a skinny little shit.
Any suggestions? Do your guys liver go up when bulking? What can i do? I have stopped the creatine, mutant mass, and apparently protein powder??? Do i have to stop the iso, and casein protein? I know creatine and mutant mass i have to, and i don't care much about those but the iso and casein helps. Suggestions?
And what can i do about my liver? I want to keep on bulking.... but i have NO idea where this is headed...
