gain more strength and muscle? den normal gym routine?
*
for beginners i will always suggest doing 5x5 for strength gains, beginners will always benefit more from this in terms of muscle gains etc for dat dere progression overload

do till 6 months or until it doesn't work for you anymore (took me around 10 months for it not work for me where i have to change to 5/3/1 and then i find the increment is so slow then i change to madcow, would suggest madcow or texas method first)

Don't do my mistake, start with an empty bar or start with a VERY light weights, but begginers can always add up 10 pounds up to 2-3 weeks for dat dere squats before adding a steady increment of 5lbs.

anyways i've thrown Dips and Chin ups at the end of my workout, and also abs if i feel very rajin

might also consider this from Stronglifts Lol

Nothing to do with his form, man. He hasn't even done deadlifts before. His post indicates he may have some mild scoliosis and not very good hip/ham/glute flexibility.

Anyway, gannicholas, try them out with an empty bar. Take a video and compare your form with the form shown in instructional videos, or post the video here. Google some drills/stretches for improving flexibilty for deadlifts.

talk about flexibility

a dude at my gym asked me to teach him squats, tought him ATG squats and full squats

but i found he can't even reach parallel

is this due to his flexibility?

first 2-3 weeks increase 10 pounds IF you can. ( squats and deadlifts )

then 5lbs increment,

55 pounds including bar(bar is 45 lbs)

It is a very good routine for beginner and powerlifter. It is a full body workout for 3 days a week emphasize on increasing overall body strength, strengthen the body, add mass and goal driven which is very good for beginner.

I use this routine for 6 months before I add a few other exercises such as dips and chin up, doing a lot of deadlift etc. I got good gains from it especially at my lower body. Follow the routine as per stated and don't let your ego comes in the way and you are good to go. 
The answer will be yes. Most people have flexibility issues with squatting as they last squat when they are little. People who use 'tandas cangkukng' would probably doesn't have this issue as they are used to squatting.

I have a friend how have flexibility issue and not so average lower body muscle strength and it is very hard for him to squat even with less than 100lbs weight. Well, a good trainer will know how to fix this  biggrin.gif


Added on June 24, 2012, 11:47 pm
The bar weight would be 45lbs for the 7feet Olympic Barbell. Top up with your current weight, that would be 165lbs. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are squatting with low bar or high bar? With narrow feet or wider feet placement?
*
coaching two different friends ( one brother and his younger brother )

the older brother tend to have flexibilty issue meanwhile the younger brother don't

the older can only go through PARALLEL, and it took like 2-4 weeks for him to do that

meanwhile the little brother have been doing ATG for a long time

But is Stronglift better than SS? I already did SS and feel I could do more.

Is there anything extra exercise I can do to make it just as good? (Anything except pull-up as my wrist is painful if bent...) Im planning to incorporate Lats Pulldown, Lunges and Preacher Curl but Im not sure if it would bring me any benefits.

EDIT: A quick google found out that most recommend weighted back extension and situ-up. I probably do Pulldown just as substitute for pull up smile.gif
*
I did SS/SL until i can't add more weight ( took around 8 months i think, and all my lifts skyrocket )

all Strength programme routine are mostly based on EAT MORE LIFT MORE system, and cutting on SS/SL is quite hard especially when it gets very heavy

I add Pull ups/chins and dips all weighted

and then Barbbell curl and Skullcrushers/close grip bench


QUOTE(iCryz @ Jun 25 2012, 12:15 AM)
oh okay.thanks for your opinion biggrin.gif thumbup.gif

yeah. i think is 7 feet olympic barbell .smile.gif ya. 165 lbs only . i want to try more . but i scare if i suddenly drops it . it is not on a squat rack .if drop straights drop on the floor.
i squat with high bar and wider feet placement.

high bar or low bar better? for 5x5 stronglift.
*
first timer do 165lbs? you sure that you're form is good?

a friend of mine said his form is good and went to the gym like 2 month

when we went to the gym together he did partials squat

Or you can always use the Steinborn Squat provided you have a strong weight lock/spring lock to hold the weight.
A 350lbs Steinborn Squat

or you can also squat your own friend

pick up a friend and ask him to hold some dumbbells(eg: 20kg + 20kg)

and then your friend is 60kg

taa daaa, you are now squatting 100KG!!!

anyways to the guy who don't have a squat rack

anyways on my foundation years there is no gym around my campus and the nearest is a few km away and i don't have transport that time( at Nilai that time )

end up doing dumbbell squat in my Uni campus ( Uni campus consist of only dumbbells and some funny machines )

and yes, find a new gym man

Breakfast in room after wake up - HL Milk + 2 scoops of Whey
Breakfast at Campus - Roti telur/ Maggi goreng telur + HL Milk
Lunch - Go mamak and get 3-4 telur rebus, Chicken and nasi putih with sayur
pre workout - Roti nan
post - protein whey + dinner ( lots of funny stuff like spaghetti, teh o ais and shits )

Same situation as you. My college also dont let me cook but they only have a microwave. So how to you bulk and get high protein? Im currently on ~2k calories when Im suppose to eat 3.5k. I dont want to depend on weight gainer/whey for 2 years...

Do you ever try to cook chicken breast in the microwave? I think it would be cooked if we slice it thinly, put boiling water and microwave for 5-8 minutes.

I've read a few article about it; and it happened to me. Was 100kg before I've started weightlifting. 7 months after that, I'm still 100 kg but I've increased my muscle mass. The thigh and quads muscle increase, chest arm and back also have increase in muscle.

A have an exam in a few hours, I'll post the article here later on.

Not bad. But if I left my ice cream, some people will steal it  doh.gif  But maybe milk banana and protein will do. Btw, I check online and most food are low in protein (milk-10g). I think if we dont have access to stove, we have to depend on protein powder..

things that really rustle my jimmies is

every new people that i tried to help to lift weights

every single one of them wants to buy supplements, the bigger the hype and expensive, the more they want to buy

eg: mutant mass, etc.

not to mention fat gripz, a friend of mine just simply buy them saying that it will help his biceps grow larger etc. doh.gif

the fat ones and the skinny ones, expect that they can be arnold in just 1 tub away

btw

carrefour is selling RM12 for 3 dutch lady milk

Same. Most of people think they will become arnold in 3 months. Buy supplement and drink it like it would grow 10kg muscle in that month. Lol, they might as well buy roids if that what they looking for. But sadly, most burned out by the 3rd month after seeing so little progress.... currently Im the only one lifting. So boring doing it alone.

Thanks for the pricing. But I dont need it since my membership ending next week and Ramadhan is coming..

thank god only 2 of my friends stick

i have a friend who buy testesteorone, animal pack, serious mass etc and all brands that i never heard of

people always bad mouthing about lifting weights

eg:

>angkat berat badan ketak but kennot run
>aku ajak member aku bodybuilder main bola satu goal pun tak boleh
>aku ajak main rugby diorang main cam ayam

and the list goes on

thank god when people ask me if i lift i i will tell them i only do zumba

sometimes i feel like slapping them telling that the specialization is different

why not ask a sprinter to play rugby, can he do that?

why not ask a rugby player to fight in mma?

people nowadays, expectation =/= reality
