Just be careful when you watch Frank Yang vids. He tends to do a lot of trolling, so you need to be able to figure out when he's srs or trolling.
food and 5 years of heavy dedicated no phaggotry lifting. then celltech
When I was in grade 9, there was a kid who hopped on the cell tech and he was the same age as me. Also, in grade 10 and 11 there was this kid in my grade who hopped on the bike ride. He doesn't even lift anymore.
I also know this kid who's a year older than me, and he's been cycling for over 2 years...you wouldn't be able to tell lol. BRB, juicing but not dieting or lifting properly. BRB, RIP liver when I'm 30.
Quick question for you guys, I seem to find a lot of different technique of breathing for DL. Some people say hold your breath for the full rep so it stabilizes the lower back, but some say breathe out on the way up. What do you guys prefer, and what you think is better?Thanks
Hey guys I am having trouble progressing like SS says. It says to put on 5-10 pounds every session but I can't seem to do that, especially on the bench press!
I am trying to cut and lose weight because I don't want to look like a fatty. I want to look good and be healthy while making dem gains. I am 5'5 weighing in at about 165-170, which I think is considered overweight. I was 160 a month and a half ago when I first started SS. At this point I don't even know if its worth it for me to cut.
These are my stats right now
DL 145
Squats 125 (I've been stuck around this weight because I've been trying to perfect my form)
Bench press 110 (Been stuck on here for about a week, recently incorporated assistance exercises like chin ups and LTE)
OHP 75 (The hardest lift to progress it seems lke)
Anyone here have any advice? Does anyone here even do SS?
its hard to add strength while cutting because you need that food for building muscle lol
id say eat more fuck aesthetics for now and use the strength you gain from ss to your advantage when you do more bodybuilding style stuff later on
gotta take advantage of the noobie gains rapid progress in the first few months
muscle will be a byproduct of heavy lifting, it'll just be hiding under fat which you can cut later
all the upperbody exercises are the hardest to raise even more me
but the lower body stuff like dl and squats shouldnt be a problem especially at your stage
What site do u guys use to buy supplements ?
I got a few from friends but I want to know if there are any more that I should check out before I buy anything

Anyways are my stats bad? I really don't want to bulk up and be like 190 pounds. I really don't look fat, just my quads are huge from eating all that junk food the past 10 years or so.
To be brutally honest, your stats are absolutely horrible. =)
(unless you're a still growing kid, then it's not so bad)
There are guys on this board around your weight that triple what you deadlift and squat and more than double what you bench and overhead press. I'm not saying that to put you down. I just want to you to know you can accomplish a LOT more than where you're at now.
Anyway, stick with starting strength. If you can't add 5-10lbs every session that's fine. Just stick with a weight for a few sessions until you feel ready to add more weight.
No offense, but you sound a bit skinny fat. If that's the case I would eat a slight calorie deficit. You're so undertrained that you can definitely get stronger while losing weight. Good luck and work hard.

Hey thanks! Yea I know my stats are terrible. Again this is my 2nd month of weightlifting, ever. I am just wondering if I am on the right track. I'm 22 years old if that matters.
I am definitely skinnyfat. What do you mean by a slight calorie deficit, can you explain a little? =)
I would love to get stronger while losing weight =)
Ok, I'm not very good at the science behind this stuff but I'll try to explain it haha.
Calories is the measure of how much energy food has. A caloric deficit means the food you are eating does not provide as much energy as your body needs. If your body needs more energy than your food provides than it will start breaking down your fat and getting energy from there (and even muscle in some cases). It gets a lot more complicated than that, but I think for our purposes we don't need to go much deeper than that.
Google a diet called Carb Nite. It's a good diet for people with a bit higher amount of bodyfat to lose. If you look hard enough you can find a pdf of it floating around somewhere.

So basically I should eat less to lose fat but just enough to gain muscle?
