Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[semtex]

Just noticed you're supposed to switch to 3x5 on stronglifts once you reach a certain strength level. It's actually a relief because a workout takes a long time to finish (safely) on the 5x5 rep scheme. I've gotten to a point where I'm not finishing or barely finishing workouts

Depends on your height also....a 5'7" hitting 315 isn't as impressive as a 6'0" doing the same bench.


That incline bench humbled my ass today.

It's hard to say based on your post.

Good size but mostly fat seems like a contradiction.

Ultimately what do you want to achieve?

Finally got around to deadlifting again. Just stayed conservative and did my set of 5 with 450 which felt like bag of feathers surprisingly.

My Ultimate goal is to Get in shape and to get swole(Muscle mass&Strength) Im just starting to workout

I trained two days ago for the first time in six weeks. My numbers are way down. My squat and military press were nearly 20lbs lighter than what I was lifting when I stopped in October. I stayed on the same weight as before for lat raises and shoulder shrugs.

It's absolutely fukked me, I'm walking like an old man my legs are sorer than a motherfukker! Anybody got tips to speed up recovery from soreness? Shoulders and triceps are doing fine, it's just my legs that got destroyed.
