Short answer - It *sounds* like you've taken on too much too soon. Well done for the effort and determination, that's something to be proud of, but more isn't always better. Your body needs time to recuperate and three or four good quality workout days with the remainder of the week to rest is preferable to five or six…

There is really no need to feel embarrassed, it's an easy mistake to make. People will recommend different bar placement for different reasons (a simplification - high bar = quads, low bar = glutes, hips, ham strings) but it all depends on what your goals are. As you're doing Strong Lifts I presume your main goals are…

Look at pictures of 'high bar squat vs low bar squat' and tell us where you put the bar. If it's low then leaning forward is to be expected. If high then it's something else.

^^Pretty much. Also, you SHOULD feel sore if you are new to any particular form of exercise but as your body adapts to exercise then the soreness shouldn't come back. If it does then you might have injured yourself somehow.

Anecdotally, post workout shakes did absolutely NOTHING for me so I stopped bothering. Still gaining LMM so whatever really.

HGH gut?

Soreness is NOT a sign of a good workout. Either your muscular adaptation is further along than his, his diet is crap or he has something wrong with him. Either way the fault lies with him not you.

Sometimes hundreds, but it depends how good the fertility clinic security is.

Are they *worth* $180? No. Do some people have more money than sense? Absolutely.

+1 on the ecig tip. I quit the real ones and used the ecig to taper off my nicotine addiction over the course of seven or eight weeks. Worked a treat but i've only been (100%) nicotine free for ten weeks now so fingers crossed I stay that way. Pro tip - While you are quitting, do not watch any Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men or…

tbh But if you really want to concentrate on your triceps (along with the already mentioned diet change) why not try this - *Pick your favourite ONE triceps exercise *Go heavy for three sets, eight reps each *Do this three times a week

Hi, i'm Bun_Ya from London and i'm current MFP record holder for most database entries in first week of membership (they didn't even have 'deadlift' in there). Add me if you want :)

Three times a week (full body) for around seventy to eighty minutes. No cardio.

It's a technique called 'drop sets'. The idea is you can keep working a muscle after it has reached failure at a higher weight. You can't do them all the time or you will mess your s**t up! (I don't like them at all and never use them but a bodybuilder might give you ten reasons why they're AWESOME)
-
Based on your goals I would say - Firstly, get some squats in there. Secondly, add in some work for your posterior chain (good mornings, RDLs etc). If you feel good with that then I would go on to include bench press, shoulder press, deadlift, and rows. But yeah, skip the machines, start light and concentrate on correct…

In for recommendations.

No. I am a never-nude and there are dozens of us. DOZENS!!

I'm going to jump on this bandwagon! I'm from London, add me if you like :-)

Yes BUT you can make them yourself for next to nothing (in my opinion). A full 2ltr bottle, a length of plastic piping etc.

Exactly as the post above says! I'm going to friend request all of you :-D
