Amazing :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Finaly decided! It's time to bulk! I'm gonna up the calories 100 every week or 14/days depending on wheigt/training respons. I also signed up in a local athletic power lifting club. Some members who compete successfully in Olympic lifting and at least one guy my age competing in bodybuilding. I'm not going to have any…

Use a rack and safety bars just below the chest and you'll be fine :smile:

I'm going to try this: I lower intake to 1600 cal / day . (Carbs 120.0 g. Fat 62.0 g. Protein 140.0 g) Then I do a refeed when I feel fatigue or can't workout properly. Maybe once a week.

Bump :smile: and i read about refeed. Think it might be what I need.

Interested

Diary public!

Uppdate: My weight has virtually remained unchanged throughout January. I have fluctuated within one kg. I weigh and log everything I eat with a few exceptions when I ate out. The average daily calorie intake per week / january is: W1 1600, W2 1749, w3 1905, w4 1926 My protein goal is 2 g/body wheigt but I usually end up…

Link is dead :ohwell:

Day A: Front squat, bench, bent over row, pull ups, dumbell lateral raise. Day B: Front squat, oh press, deadlift, dips, barbell ab rollout on knees, chin ups

Yes. Can't coment on some friends posts. The send button disappear :huh:

Yeah. But in all honesty there is a difference between form breakdown and bad form from the start. I've been trying to look up good form more serious lately. I don't mind a temporary slower progress as long as I get a good form.

Hmm, maybe i should wait until I start to bulk before I change the program. And maybe just delode or wait a workout or two on the lifts my form need some attention.

Yepp :smile:

Yes! My body is 10 year younger and my face 10 years older. At a certain age you have to choose between body or face :angry:

Diet break? Re-feeds? You got my attention:tongue:

Bump out of interest and the fact that their is people doing recomp on my FL that seems successful.

Happy birthday! And welcome to the club. :smile:

Good work man!

In to follow Currently cutting (or trying). Stuck at the same weight for almost 2 weeks. Thinking of adding bodyweight workouts or cardio/HIIT to my my Strong lifts routine

That's interesting! Didn't know that. Maybe I'll try that when I switch to my (first) bulk. Thanks!

Starting strength here. 5 reps 1 time. DEADlift = let the bar settle on the floor and lift.If it ain't dead on the floor it's not a dead lift :wink: I usually just take a new breath and lift again. Good luck!

Yes. It's not the counting that matter. It eating the right amount of calories in relation to how much you spend. Counting and loggingis just a help to make it eeasier to keep the balance between input and output.

Your not supposed to stand all day. 40-60 min then sit down for 30 min. If you stand too long you will get tired and hang on your hip or elbows or whatever. This is one reason why people get pain in new and different places when they switch to adjustable desks. Just mix it up and see if it helps. Good luck!

Just in to show my support. This ^ and take your time to try getting i right from the beginning. Being kinda newbie myself I'm still struggling with finding correct form. Being impatient I took a quick look at some instructions and started lifting. Once the weights got heavy i had to go back and work on better form. That's…

So true! And very well put in to words. :flowerforyou:

Yes!

Yepp!

I've been doing strong lift some weeks = newbie. My opinion: Keep it simple and just listen to your body. I started of training on rest days. No problem at all. However when the weight progressed i noticed the need for rest days. Still have som complementary stuff on workout days though. When they start to wear me down i…

Failed miserably at 40 kg today. Was expecting to fail but didn't even make the first 5 reps. I blame the smashed shoulders from last session. I benched with dumbbells for the first time. Just benched on the cabel machine before. The instability kicked the crap out of my shoulders. Free weights from now on!
