Cool. I've plateaued horrendusly on 5x5, only thing that seems to be gaining are the box pistols, but that's no surprise considering how long I've been doing them. Might try going for a new routine in a while if I don't break out the plateau soon. Squats + Milk seems really fun to me...

Cheers Stallion :D . I'm quite surprised myself tbh, i thought i had eaten more until i did come calorie counting, was quite surprised.

Are you on squats and milk?

Box Pistols - 5x5ish - 15" Some cheated reps T bar Rows - 5x5 - 32.5kg Overhead Press - 5/4/1 Couldn't power clean the bar to my chest after the 2nd set, i managed to after a while though, but just about managed one rep. Felt really dizzy and almost fell over.

Been really ill the past 5 days :down: . I've had non-stop diarrhea and been puking all day, it was literally like a landslide coming out my ass, not pretty. Not sure what it was, could have been a case of food poisoning. Been to the doctors but not had the results back, but i feel...

Lol, fair do's :D. Reverse crunches and Turkish get ups ftw imo :cool:

Charles Poliquin thinks it's terrible unless your an eight year old child.

Slightly off topic but are pistols and box pistols bad for your back due to the fact you have to round it?

Box Pistols - 5x5 - 15" PR Cheated some reps. Will do again next workout at 15", my chair doesn't go any lower now anyway. It's below parallel now :D , once i've got 15" down with good form ill grab hold of some dumbells. Overhead Press - 5/5/5/5/3 - 32.5kg Think i should...

Cheers for the advice lads. I'll do some t-bar rows to help break the plateau. Btw, whats the difference between BB/DB Rows and BB/DB Curls, aren't they basically the same thing, or am i being silly?

Spinach is one of the most alkaline foods going

I'm rowing at 90 degress, with no hip involvment. My Box pistols are increasing, but its no surpirse considering i have only been doing them a short while. My OHP isn't doing so well, i deloaded from 42.5kg, im trying it again tomorrow. Also, what would you suggest for exercises for my...

My first stall on the barbell row was at 38.5kg, this was on the 6th of May Now on the 6th of July i managed to complete 40kg for 5x5, a PR. In the space of 2 months i managed to get my barbell row up 1.5kg, i mean wtf, i just dont know what is up with my rows. Whenever i have to do them next...

It's fine to feel DOMS (delay onset muscle soreness) after working out, especially if your a begginer, but if you can't walk when you've been training you ABS it's an obvious sign that your over training. I may be wrong, but as i said do reverse crunches, but tbh you proabaly wont even need it...

Box Pistols - 5x5 - 16" PR These felt good and solid, managed to do them in 15mins which is a PR lol, along with the height. Overhead Press - 5x5 - 31kg Bent-over Barbell Rows - 3/2/2/1/1- 30kg Really don't know what to do about these, just cant progress. They've actually gotten worse...

Havent lifted in 5 days, thought i need to give my self a break because i feel as though i've burned out my CNS. Don't seem to be making any progress apart from the pistols, some of my lifts actually went down. I think it may be time to start an intermediate program? It feels a bit silly...

Not to put a downer on the whole thing, put wont doing just pushups create a muscle imbalance? You frontal shoulder, triceps and pecs will develop, but this will cause a muscle imbalance in your upper back. People who go to gym to work the "fashion muscles": chest, arms and sometimes...

Does it make it easier to box squat if your shins aren't perpendicular? What happens if your shins are at an acute angle?

Don't do isolation ab work just yet, it will probably be better if you do a full body routine seeing as your starting out. If you do insist on ab work though, quit the crunches and do reverse crucnhes holding onto a barbell. Try decrease the weight on the barbell as you get stronger...
