Of course man. I was also in the same boat as you. Been doing SL for 11 months and then switch to PHAT because I also wanted to have the aesthetic body but didn't want to left the powerlifting side entirely.

Anyway, an article by CT about training for different purposes.

Dunno about you but this site has proven helpful for me to overcome the skinny fat scourge.

Since you're fasting you should take advantage of it to test out IF + carb cycling and see how it goes

Well, you can always talk to your parents about the eggs or anything that is 'against' their belief. But don't just talk, provide them with the science. As you know, the 'it is bad to eat lots of eggs' research are done by cereal (as in breakfast cereal) company to downgrade the eggs reps on a very little sedentary people about cholesterol; which entirely disregard about the good and the bad cholesterol.

Hey guys, been gyming for 2 months and my left hand elbow (joint) will hurt sometimes and significantly but still bearable when i workout my triceps.  Should i take a month break or lift lightweights for a month ?

I'm afraid that if i take a month break, my muscles will start to shrink.

how is ya back? okay 

Get it checked,this is bad news.

Happened to me before,took 6 months to be able to wake up pain free.

GP ?? If it's a specialist then that's a rather slipshod and lazy way to check 

Nerve issues would at list get you a trip to radiology so i'm not sure on your end.

On a side note being on this forum makes me even more impatient to hit the gym again. 3 more weeks of physio and it's back to the gym.

Dude, get checked up. Sciatica is a common symptom when something (ie slipped disc like my case) is irritating/pressing against the nerves around your spine. Nerve injuries are a b*tch and the longer you wait to get some form of treatment, the longer recovery takes.

Been there done that. I'd say go to a chiropractor. Regular GPs or orthopaedic surgeons usually won't do anything except send you home with anti-inflammatory meds unless your bones are sticking out of your skin(slight exaggeration). I went to 4 different doctors (who didn't help one bit) before going to a chiro. If I had known better I would've gone to the chiro first.

Fap more for huge arms.
Train endurance and strength while fapping.
Increases your lifts day by day.
Gain those arms by end of month.
Not srs.

Hi guys a question about the SL 5x5 routine.

According to the 3rd revision, there's workout A and workout B where it is alternated between sessions.

Workout A starts off with Squats, Deadlifts, OHP, Pull ups
Workout B starts off with Squats, Benchpress, Barbell rows/Inverted rows and Push ups.

For the sets of A, I'm quite okay with the form (after being corrected many times and comparing myself with the videos), and I usually get really exhausted after I finish everything. For pull ups, I'm supposed to do 3xF, but if I can only do 2 till failure, does it count?

For B, I have a problem with inverted rows and barbell rows. I have no idea how to perform barbell rows as it looks abit complicated, so I decided to try inverted rows on a smith machine, but I encountered 2 problems with this:

1. The smith machine is almost always occupied, and when it's occupied, people can use it for an hour with their friends.

2. When I do get to do them inverted rows, I have this problem that when I pull myself up to touch the bar with my chest (hardly getting there though), I feel a slight pressure on my neck, making it hard to breathe during the workout and concentrate. My neck is longer than the average Malaysian's neck though.

Do you think I should try to correct my form for IR or just try to learn how to do the Barbell rows? Or can I just substitute them both with deadlifts or something else?

Thanks!

Alright, will try my best to learn one of them rows.
The 3rd revision also includes prone bridges and reverse crunches which I didn't try too.
Apparently Medhi (or the guy writing the SL paper) said that the inverted rows were introduced because alot of people couldn't do the barbell rows.
One tutorial of doing the IR's with a smith is this vid:

But yeah, it's really awkward.
Here's a link to the pdf of the third revision if you're interested:

2 reps then failure. Rest awhile, do lagi and fail again lol. Yeah I'm trying.. But it is rather embarrassing to not be able to do a few pull ups.

Hi guys, today i was deadlifting 100kg at the local gym, normally i'll be at college gym, some big guy (seriously damn big) told me deadlifting too heavy is for professional, and i should do lighter weight.
I've been deadlifting quite some time, and 100kg wasnt my 1rep max. So after he saying i pun stopped because the people in the gym started staring at me. I deadlifted without a belt, core is tight.
I will be posting a video for you guys to check my form, meanwhile, any words for me?

Hey, it's called inverted pull up, try googling and see the pic/video see correct or not.
Another one will be negative pull up, which is have a partner or a chair to push yourself up, then when lowering without any assistance.

I'll do more research and post video. Since ppl i met told me deadlift is dangerous. So far i've seen mark rippletoe's way of deadlifting, any other trainer's video that are famous?

You got a point there. Pro title peeps also train during their newbie and amateur days what.
I just thank you after he talked to me, didnt ask anything much cos i can't hear his english, he's a foreigner, from african i think ( my place is flocked with foreigner )
Btw i think it is a pinch of salt, read it from somewhere, but it doesn't matter lah 

My shoulder seems to be nearing 100% again!

Managed to do this for bench press:

60kgx16
80kgx12
100kgx12
120kgx10

Needed a spotter but felt like I could still increase!
