i have been lurking on here for about 1-2 weeks reading and stuff but i thought i would write my first post. i started bill starr's 5x5 program this week and i have never been so sore in my life (never really did deadlifts much). just a little information i'm 22 years old and have been lifting more or less for 8 years. i'm 5'9 155 and my max's are about 250 for bench and 300 for squat. i only take protein shakes and a multivitamin - creatine bothered my weak stomach. i want to improve my calves and lower/oblique abs more than anything else as overall i am pretty happy with the rest. what do you guys do for abs and calves with this workout? like i said i want a great ab workout with emphasis on the lower/oblique areas so i get that perfect 6-pack. i also have basketball calves - i have a nice tennis ball at the top, but below that it's real skinny there into my ankles. quick story - i was doing a public speech in high school in front of about 100 people and questions were to be asked after i was finished and a smartass friend of mine raised his hand and asked, "how do your calves hold up your upper body?" and all 100 people laughed. it was funny, but i was a little embarrassed haha oh high school... i just want to do this right sorry if i'm asking a lot of questions but it's great to be on here - i also have never done a 5x5 program before.
edit - i posted 2 pics for the hell of it
