These studies are generally bull****, and are used by lazy people as an excuse not to squat, because squatting is hard but benching and curling is easy.

Oh no! Why didn't anyone tell me this sooner? I will stop squatting immediately and switch to a safer bench + curls program instead!

11/2/11 Woke up yesterday morning and felt like ass, my left trap hurt, my right knee hurt, etc. I ended up taking a long walk instead of going to the gym. It was kind of relaxing to walk at a nice easy pace for a change instead of pushing the prowler around the parking lot or grinding out...

Just drink. Missing out on the alcohol-fueled social interaction is worse for you than the alcohol itself.

Maybe not subsidizing poor people having so many kids would be a good start.

10/31/11 I've missed a couple workouts and today was totally wiped out, didn't even make it to the gym until 9pm. Squat: 2 x 5 x 395 I was wiped out after this. Shouldn't even have gone in today. Will deadlift tomorrow.

With all this technology, world population should be declining, not growing. We don't need so many people.

Wow... bodyweight OHP x 5 is better than "ok"! :eek:

:eek: :crackup: I think you're getting trolled.

Also, unless you're training at a serious powerlifting/weightlifting gym, the strongest guy there is just a big fish in a small pond. Ignore them, soon you'll be moving more weight with better form than them anyway.

10/26/11 Bench: 2 x 10 x 160 lbs Close grip bench: 2 x 10 x 145 lbs Incline bench: 2 x 10 x 135 Front squat: 3 x 190 3 x 215 8 x 245 Chest supported row: 3 x 8 x 85

10/25/11 I've been sick the past few days. Missed Saturday and Monday, went to the gym tonight but could only get there an hour before they closed. Squat: 3 x 5 x 390 PR. Should be closing in on a 500 lb single pretty soon. Pullup: 5 x 20 lbs Ran out of time.

:crackup:

The problem is that anything over a 5 isn't attracted to me. I'd honestly rather masturbate to a 10 than **** a 5. If I could get 7+ then I wouldn't need porn.

It's so ****ing hard to quit porn. Every time I try I end up asking myself why I should work my ass off and deal with all the flaking, rejection, etc., just to **** a 5, when I could open a porn site and masturbate to a 10 and be done with it.

I only wear cotton tshirts to lift in. I've noticed that with synthetic shirts the bar wants to slide around on my back during squats. For lower body, I wear underarmour compression shorts and regular gym shorts. The shorts have to stop above my knees, otherwise they rip when I push my knees out...

10/21/11 Squat: 3 x 5 x 385 New PR. Haven't PRd on squats in a while. Should be squatting 4 plates each side for 3x5 soon :D Chin up: 3 x 5 x 15 lbs Deadlift: 5 x 295 5 x 345 10 x 385 My hamstrings were completely wiped out after this set. Typing this 2 hours later and they still are...

It's hard to say. I think as long as it's just soreness and not pain you should be fine. You should record your form on video and make sure it's OK though just to be sure.

I'm confused... how can you go to China and teach English if you don't also speak Chinese?

Nice progress so far :up: If you're still having problems with bar placement on squats, I just found this video that might help: http://startingstrength.com/index.php/site/platform_the_squat_bar_position
