    Question regarding the 5x5

    Fair enough, thanks guys. As for the 1 set on deadlifts, it's a ramping set, you still do 5 sets, but it's only one heavy set.

    Question regarding the 5x5

    Hello AM readers. It's been quite a while since I posted last. I'm returning to weight lifting and I'd missed it a lot over the last few months. Anyway I'm back. I recently started the Stronglifts 5x5. I really want to get back to a 300 lb squat and build everything up from there. The...

    Advice needed

    Yeah that's what I was thinking, I have no problem shoveling down food, I'm thinking up my calorie intake, and add a few short conditioning circuits on non training days.

    Question regarding crossfit

    How would I blend PHAT and crossfit to make the crossfit my hypertrophy? Looking at most crossfit routines they don't seem to look like good hypertrophy routines.

    Question regarding crossfit

    Thank you to those that replied, and for the confusion, it's not that I don't like crossfit, in fact I really love it, I was asking more along the lines of whether or not you all think 5/3/1 and crossfit could be done in a way that compliments each program. I think the biggest pitfall that...

    Question regarding crossfit

    Hello AM readers, I'm Drew. Last year was pretty insane and I neglected my training. I've refocused and I am once again dedicated to my training, however before you flame me, yes it is crossfit. I had a few questions about it, first I know the serious pitfalls that exist with the training...

    Question about bill starr 5x5

    I committed to running bill Starr's 5x5 but I just noticed it doesn't have me doing dead lifts at all, should I add them in or just run the program as is?

    Starting Strength and KM

    Yeah I'm thinking about the whole log idea. I'll run starting strength to up my numbers then I'll get back on 5/3/1

    Starting Strength and KM

    Hey fellow AM readers. Currently I've gotten back into starting strength after a month of non stop work and travel for work. I stayed up on fitness with conditioning, as a result recovery is great. I started Krav Maga again, and with the added stimulus and high intensity conditioning, I...

    Serious help needed

    Yeah I got swamped at work and ended up taking a week off now I'm looking for a full body routine, it's nice to make strength gains but I saw an old picture of myself from 2 years ago and realized I look pretty much the same. I want to really make some serious changes

    Rest/Pause and 5/3/1

    Actually it was the first week of the program, however my app didn't update the weight and I calculated that 9 reps at 270 would only be a max of around 350, 15 reps at 270 is a calculated one rep max of around 405. And every now and then when I'm bulking I like to do a ridiculous day and pick...

    Rest/Pause and 5/3/1

    Well as I've gathered, I'm not trying to compete, so **** it I'm counting it

    Rest/Pause and 5/3/1

    So in the middle of my final set of deads I was pulling 270 for 15 reps, my question is, I rested 5 or 10 seconds between every three reps in the last part of the set. So figure it was essentially a cluster, can I still count that?

    Places to train?

    Hey folks, I just moved to California about 10 weeks ago and am seriously looking for a place to train in powerlifting and strongman disciplines. The golds gym crowd is frustrating and I need a change, I'm located in the woodland hills/ agoura area, anyone know anywhere?

    Need help with weight gaining.

    Hahahaha, yeah I just started this job so leniency isn't an option yet, but I will say, they definitely like, I do chow down on the misfired entrees, but the shifts are only 4 to 4.5 hours, and there's no side work, so I generally just eat a 1200 calorie meal before work (my usual meal is...
