His workout?

I feel like if you had pain doing deads at 245, than your form was wrong and you need to go lower. Have you done deads previous to this workout?

When I started his workout I only did 135 deads and 135 squat, and 155 bench, 80 power clean and press was only 70.

I really didn't do it for long since you are on the bar all day. In the 1 month time I gained 6#, most ever in a month.. coincidence...maybe.

Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift

Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 power cleans

Don't mess around with the dips and pull ups. They are just over working you.. and for the workout B, make sure you do power cleans. The other lifts are a joke compared to a power clean.

It may take awhile to get all the forms right. I just watched alot of his videos and used light weight until I could figure it out.

 

Thanks man. Its so much different only being in there for an hour vs my at least two body building/power lifting workouts . (I think im on the right track now.) And yes I did strength training throughout highschool with a fairly accurate teacher. Im definitely not new to the compound lifts. Why do you suggest not doing pullups and dips? Although they are all compound lifts, it doesn't seem like my tris will be hit as well just doing bench, and I need to get my tris stronger I hopes of getting out of my bench plateau. I personally love doing dips at the very least.

 

So ad dips and pull ups to that work out. I did the Stronglift for the majority of last year. Got my "power" up to a decent level. Just gets boring after doing it for so long.

 

you know what's not boring GETTING LEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's fine then. I just don't suggest it since coach rip states that he doesn't think he needs it in his book. But everyone's body is different!

Make sure you are eating alot of food too, this is the most important part! Gl on it!!

This isn't "stronglift"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

From the end of my junior year in high school heading into summer... Most recent pic i have but not bad

 

I love how everytime I go into GNC they assume I'm there for an educational talk on supplements and vitamins.. I just wanna go in a buy my stuff..

 

Love the chest pump at the end!

Thanks for a good laugh

 

I know what you mean. I used to work for GNC. And it was all about selling certain products. Whenever you get someone trying to push a product on you it's to make a commission. Do you have a nutrishoppe around?

 

I understand its all about making money but I just wanna get my stuff and get out lol. No I don't believe I have one of those near. Dont get me wrong I love GNC I just don't want the education everytime I go in. All I gets mega men vitamin and vitamin b12. It'll be a while before I need protein before and the only other thing I may buy is GNC RAW Refine/Rampant

 

Yeah, sales people are annoying.


For those of you that do STIFF leg deadlifts. Do you feel it in your back at all?

 

I feel most of it in my ham, some in my lats and rear delt, but i don't feel it in my back untill i set the weight down then it's like "fuck man my back is sore" lol

 

Stiff leg deadlift < straight leg deadlift

You'll hurt shit doing that stiff leg stuff.

 

Speaking of deadlifts, I did a workout the other day that was super awesome.

Pyramid 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 185 lb floor press, 225 deadlift for time.

 

Also i don't think i've ever bought supps from GNC, their price is rediculous, i usually buy from Amazon, tigerfitness or bodybulding.com

 

There's a place here that beats any store price and any internet. But I have to drive a few miles to get there....but I haz nice car so its worth it

 

I mainly buy from those placese for the free gifts lol, im chinese when i see the word "FREE" my mind goes blank.

 

Yea, I don't feel it until the last two sets.

Straight* that's what I meant. I do keep a slight bend in my knees. And bend at the waist.

 

Finally back on creatine again, 1 week off was pretty bad, lost reps and strength on all my lifts, first day back on was amazing as always.
