    5X5 Training Question

    In June I am going to start working with a pl group. In the meantime I want to work out of the bodybuilding mentality and into the pl mentality, but I still want to gain some hypertrophy. Is this possible or is this the bber in me? I have good dl #’s, but shit on bench and I have completely...

    The hardest thing about the deload is leaving the ego at the door! It has been a nice break though. Changing my bench up is a good idea. Maybe instead of doing flat bench twice a week I could give the db's a shot on one of the other benches. Can't hurt! And, it if helps me gain numbers like...

    I’ve really been letting my log slide. I will try to make this more of a priority. I’m still stroking along. My lat is good. The only time I even feel it anymore is once in a great while coming out of the hole on a heavy squat. I have been having other strains here and there so I thought it...

    When I must do cardio I always do HIIT. I just prefer getting it done and over with. Your numbers are strong, Shan. I am super envious of your bench numbers!!

    So I'm not really sure where I left off with my updates...I haven't really been into it since this strain. I have been feeling good and the pain is all but gone. I question my doctors advice to wait "6-8 weeks." My doctor has a shit bedside manner and he seems to take a dim view of body...

    Thanks for the tip on the TDEE, Shan, and the good thoughts on the growth. I have laid back on doing anything that aggrevates the lat, but I am still able to lift close to my normal weights. Working machines has given me a change or pace actually. I feel great and haven't had any pain in...

    Lat Strain- How to Work Around it

    Hey Uphill. I read some of Ketsugo's replies when I was researching the archives about this strain. You are right- his advice is the best. I haven't updated my log lately because this strain isn't giving me much to write about.

    So today I found out I have a strained my left lat. There goes my goal of dl'ing 2x my bw by my 41st birthday. FML!! Doc has suggested resting 6-8 weeks. Um...yeah, right. I got some good advice from another TID member to switch to machines. I'm gonna sit down tonight and write out a new...

    Thank you so much for that information! Seriously. I struggle so hard with calories. I can eat clean, I can lift hard, but I am always at a loss when it comes to my caloric needs. Now I may have to change it up- again- thanks to an injury.

    Womens Weight Loss

    Hell no girl! You are all muscle that is why you aren't hanging out in the 110 range!! At 110 I was a size 2 and at 120-125 I am still a size 2, so you are spot on w/ the recomping :)

    Womens Weight Loss

    Hi Teej and welcome! I’m not as experienced as most on this site, but since you and I pretty close in age, weight and height I thought I would add my .02. About 8 years ago I lost 52 pounds. I am not familiar with your diet, but I did mine following Body For Life. I too did cardio 3x a week...

    Lat Strain- How to Work Around it

    Yes! Machines!! I never thought of that. Shows you where i spend my time in the gym- lol. I can do quite well on the machines. I was bulking, but maybe I will take this time to retool and actually commit to the cut I failed to commit to 3 months ago. Thanks for the excellent advice!

    Lat Strain- How to Work Around it

    A few weeks ago I thought I just tweaked my back. It was weird b/c the pain was on the left and in the middle of my back and fanned out diagonally. It went away with nsaids, so I figured it wasn’t serious. Last night coming out of the hole on one of my last squats I felt that pain again. I...
