thats the worst kind of military press you can do. you're gonna bust out your rotators. do the normal sitting, bar to sternum, up/ arms extend/ down.

I'm gonna go ahead and call bullshit on the squat. Sorry buddy, but unless you're sub 5'5" that's not happening. Unless of course you're doing Ben Tatar squats

He's probably a better athlete than you anyways. You're not going anywhere at 140 lbs, sucka fool.

+1 for you man


Rippetoes is a great program up until you stop making linear gains. Then you switch to a 5x5 program like Bill Starrs and keep gaining weight on their lifts, and bodyweight.

I've met Mark, he's an awesome guy. I really can't stress how much I recommend Rippetoes starting strength.

ive been lifting 6 days a week for about 4 years now. started out about 115 pounds in high school (definitely wasnt born to be a strong kid) and have been balancing hard lifting with daily cardio and a good diet. now im about 160 (given ive also grown like 6 inches since then) and in pretty good shape, still lifting hard, still making gains. currently bench 230, and can do 18-20 pullups per set depending on the day. now if i take more than a day off from working out i just feel like a piece of shit. its an addiction.

...and its a great way to stay in shape.

You'll get there. Just gotta eat is all. Eating is key, the more you eat, the more muscle you'll be able to gain.

Eating and rest(outside of actual programs) are the most important things you can work on.


I started out about 16 months ago benching 135 for 3 and squatting 245 for 2, because I got on a good program and started eating a lot, I gained about 30 lbs and now I bench 225 for 8 and squat over 400 ass to grass. Also don't ever forget your posterior chain if you're an athlete. Your glutes/hams/lowback are incredibly important for running and generally stopping injury in your legs.

Eat more, and don't ever cheat yourself.

Go as low as you can with squats. Half squatting is bad for you, sinking your ass below your knees will not only increase your knee health, but increase the amount of muscle you can gain in your legs because when you squat to depth, you engage your hamstrings and glutes, which are neglected in half squats.


For cleans, don't ever go above 3 reps. You're not supposed to get tired from them, they're an explosive movement.

In summary, it all comes back to eating. The more you eat and rest, the more successful you'll be. Try as a rule of thumb to get a solid 8 hours a night.

IIRC it's 5 working sets of 3. I don't have the newest edition of SS so it might have changed.

1. pretty hard to tell who is a serious lifter over the internet anyone can say they train harder than arnold in his prime and you would have no way to tell

2. rarely do people actually give honest numbers on their lifts online

3. go to bodybuilding.com. it is a waste of time to weed through all the bullshit advice to find the one or two good posts on NS

1. stick to compound lifts
2. increase weight as often as possible
3. eat eat eat eat eat eat eat
4. ??????
5. get swole

everyone has a different body that reacts differently to each exercise. what works for the big guy benching 495 at your gym will not necessarily work for you. figure out your body and you will notice the difference it makes. do not try to copy someone's workout who is juicing because your body will not be able to handle it and you will not get the same results

props though for working out because not many skiers do. it is nice to see someone who fills out their 4xlt t-shirt every once and a while

Hey Jay or Button do you guys know of anything I can do to get more flexible especially in my legs? I am thinking of starting kickboxing more consistently and well, I am not that flexible.

Im not jay or button but stretch, stretch, stretch.

Stretch every morning if you have time, before/after workout, and before bed.

Throw some forward and side lunges, straight leg deadlift, and good mornings into your workout also.

I do kickboxing twice a week the only way to consistently get better kicks is to stretch and practice kicking a ton. Tons of lunges, explosions and squats are also work into our circuits.

As a poster mentioned above, if you want solid advice on everything fitness, sign up on bodybuilding.com. People there know their stuff on that site.
