intermediate

my workout usually 2 and half hour include warm up.. srsly
i put on 33kg on squat
35kg on dead
15kg on bench in 4 months

i found out that i more weight i lift, i need to rest longer, and yes more than 5 mins for a heaviest set. sometimes longer when i dont feel quite motivated

We all here are agree'ing to that point whereby OP is probably eating slightly too much before workout.

I'm talking to you brah.

ya i saw his fb, hes new
yeah definitely need to find the right food, ditch the damn oats
banana always in my mind, but im lazy to restocking

lol double all weights

This should be your routine if I'm not wrong.

Reading the Ramping Weights: sections, the ramped up sets serve as warmup already. 2-5 minutes is the rest between sets. With your higher ramp sets taking longer rest but max 5 minutes.

Yea, the more you lift, the longer you will need to rest. Bill Star 5x5 is geared for intermediate lifters, but more to an early intermediate. I somehow suspect you are a late intermediate who is very close to advance stage since you need more than 5 minutes rest between sets.

Is it true you are close to advance stage now? If yes you might need to switch to an advance program such as 5/3/1.

yes, im close.. but i wouldnt switch to other program unless i milked out all the intermediate gains..such as 5/3/1 or advanced program, maybe after a year of progress

thats the weight i put on *progress , not the weight i lift
lol at 35kg, grandma lift more than me

Aiyo, that's the weight he added to his existing lifts. Not the weight he lift.

Dude, save your time and energy. Do it again after 1 day rest.
IF you train 2 hours++.. You're going to carry over the soreness to your next workout which lead to bad form and lesser weights..

p/s : im skinny and i lift small weights but that's a fact..

Haha, damn nice bro, not many people reach advance stage in our country ever. Congrats.

Ok, we identified the problem already here.

Ya, you can continue the weekly 5x5 progression if u are progressing, but you may experience this "vomit" sensation on your Monday's since your volume is too high since you are almost advance. That's normally the sign to switch to a higher level program which spreads out volume and progression over a longer period.

Anyway you know what to do now, wish you the best on moving to the advance stage. Really congrats.

Don't eat so close to a workout. Personally, I need at least 2 hours between eating and heading to the gym for my stomach to settle. Alternatively, eat something else. Certain foods, such as eggs, contribute more to me feeling nauseous during a workout.

dan, what do you eat pre workout?

actually friday is highest intensity day, i dont feel anything before , the vomit* sensation just start lately.
thanks, good luck to progression too

I either workout in the morning on an empty stomach or in the afternoon 2-3 hours after lunch, in which cause it's usually rice/potatoes, some sort of meat and vegetables.

D: what kind of job are you doing now? I missed those times working out in the morning/afternoon during college life. Now could only workout at night, after work.

Dude, I vomited my lunch last week, luckily made it to washroom on time. Started gagging on my last rep, put down weights and ran to toilet...

Looked up online and many pointed towards insufficient rest after meals and one specific site mentioned something about wrong breathing technique "Do not hold your breath when exerting strength". These days I'll gag when I push a lil harder especially during last few reps, hope to overcome this and don't let it become a habit (Psychologically).

Arnold pukes many times in the gym too.

u puking and not feeling well is the way your body is telling you " stop u mofo 3 hours is too long"

lmao you need to bring a bucket

guess the weight is too heavy, i always hold my breath when i lift *valsava maneuver. i'll try to pay more attention on my breathing technique.

Coming from experience. I almost fainted after training my legs. Turned out my breathing technique is shit when I was doing heavy reps. I was so focused on my form and the heavy ass weight on me, I forgot to breathe.

Another incident of feeling like shit is my meal was too near my workout. Even after spacing the meal 1 hour ++ away from workout, it's still not enough.

I'd space my meal around 2 hours before.
