I think 5x5 is ideal for deads and squats......start with a good amount amount of weight, work your way up to your heaviest (225x5) for the last set, then if you nail it, add 5lbs to all lifts next week...keeping warmups the same.

[UberSteroids]

I will try Narks idea see how it works. The 5x5 seems good too. Hmm If I added 5lb a week = 20lb month so by next summer BOOM! 345Lbs Deadlift

[audis4]

Good lifting uber...keep it up man!!

[chest6]

Warm-up sets aren't supposed to be taxing.

Nark

Exactly. I see WAY too many guys struggling on what they call their "warm up" sets. You are taking away energy you need to use solely on your big set(s)

Listen to Nark Uber. He knows a tad of what hes talking about

[UberSteroids]

Man, if I could have one of You guys going to the same gym as I do (LifeTime Fitness) over here in IL, and have You as my lifting partner ho-ly sh!t. That would be outstanding. Even tho I'm not big, I`d have a guy that is on my team! But nope I gotta workout bymyself. When I see some of these big mofos around here I'm like damn. I get this damn feeling of wanting to grow FASTER ! FASTER! BIGGER! Even thoguh I know it's years of training before getting there.. I just get this feeling that drives me nutz sometimes, and when this happens every time I go to steroid profiles and read about them. Than.. next day..I go to the gym.. I do nice workout.. I feel good and I calm down.
Well..today is one of these days! I want to BE BIG NOW! OK!? Not year or two from today.. NOW! Next month!
So, can't wait to go to the gym so I can bust my ass off and calm the f down.
Oh well.

Send me my ticket.. and put me up for a month.. and i'm there

[chest6]

thats why a lotta ppl lose patience and make mistakes hopping on too early. Don't be like that. Be patient. BB'ing takes time..steroids or not.

[chest6]

me too...but Im trying to find "on the barbell" on a map..cant find it

[UberSteroids]

Haha! Cmon Chest, looking for the barbell on the map ? Try at the gym :P
I live in Chicago West suburbs, Illinois.
Well, that would be cool. I'll keep in touch!
Would You seriously do it ? Let's say I get You a ticket, one month membership at the gym and You can stay at my place, gotta 3 bedroom, full basement I think one-two weeks would be good enough! to hit every muscle group get the idea and see how Im doing etc.
That is classic.

Oh man, I ate like a FAT HOG all day. Fish, like three different kinds, apple pies, cakes, chicken, everything. I feel fat and sluggish.
I'm going to the gym tonight, there is no doubt about it.

Happy Holliday Fellas!

[chest6]

today was the first time in forever i cheated.

Thing is..when im eating bad food..i dont enjoy it. Im overwhelmed by "God im getting so fat right now..im disgusted by myself" and end up stopping before i finish it. I dont think thats normal

[UberSteroids]

Well, I do enjoy it a lot! Because its been so long since I ate all this nice food in such amounts haha! Apple pie! Baked potatoes! etc.

Chest thats weird man! But hey at least it stops You from eating this sh!t.

Looks like you hit it hard! Nice Work on the barbell curls. Keep it up, your deads are only going to get better. Why not go up in weight and lower the reps i.e. 135X8 185X6 225X4 255X2

[UberSteroids]

Hmm, I realized that 4-6 rep worksout better for my back. The thing is, You do have a great point, I can really feel that 2-3 rep max after at least 2 sets.
I think I will include this low rep heavy weight into my deads.
So:
Bar x15
135x8
225x5
245x5
265x MAX
225x5

I'll give it a shot.
But for now... the routine I follow works great for me. Nark helped me out with this one. Before I used to get tired from too many reps that my lower back would give out on me later during BB rows etc.

Sounds good bro! Ya, nark always has great advice! Keep at those deads, how long have you been doing them for?
