Re: The Fitness Thread !
Depends on your goal. If you are a bulking, then a full cream buffalo milk will do and if you are cutting then a double tonned cow milk is the best bet.

Re: The Fitness Thread !
Please pardon me for this "chhota muh badi baat" but I don't think one should do 5 sets of deadlifts, its a big stress for lower back. 2 warmup sets with lighter weight and 1 set of 5 reps with max weight is more than enough.
m-jery, did you really perform 5 sets of deadlift with 5 reps in each set?m-jeri said:

^Rippetoe's programme is for beginners and not experienced lifters. Jeri says, he has been lifting from the past 2 years so I guess he ain't a beginner anymore. 5x5 is still a lot, stick to 3x5 for DL.

Re: The Fitness Thread !
^Are you crazy? Forget sitting on your pot for the next 3 days. Progression is good but mindless progression is stupid. Those are insane number of reps which I won't recommend to anyone. BTW, why are you not including the bar weight in those figures? The bar alone is 18 KG. Next time whenever someone asks you how much you bench or squat, add the bar weight too.

Re: The Fitness Thread !
It should be really taxing even if your ROM was not proper. IMO you are overdoing it.

Re: The Fitness Thread !
Well I only was planning to do till 90kg. but my gym guy said u can try increasing the weight to see if u can lift. since 5 is the lowest so.
And also. I split legs into 2 days. thursday i do, leg ext, back thigh, leg press. Friday squats and lunges. Else as u said i cannot lift myself from potty if all together.
About the bar weight. No. you are not correct. In this precor squat smith, the bar weight is not applicable. its connected to the entire machine and weight is nullified.
Around 7 months back in my old gym, was using old school olympic bar freely, so the weight has to be accounted. correct me if i wan wrong.

ROM? How am i overdoing it? Plz explain. as its a crucial exercise i want to be correct as possible.

Re: The Fitness Thread !
Why is it stupid I dont understand if the form he is doing is correct.
He did only 43 reps in total and that is quite normal..He must be using a smith machine and 100 is easily acheivable for an intermediate body builder.
There are some days where you may be able to push urself a little extra and there is nothing wrong in that.(and vice versa)
@M-jeri - I dont know ur previous weights and reps but if you are improving keep it up...
Take enough rest, sleep well, give atleast 48 for the same muscle to recover and most importantly eat quality food. Then you are good to go again.
Lot of cooks spoil the food. Bro if you have any doubt better do your own research. BB is not exact science and there are no fixed rules. Just make sure you are following the basics and keep away from injury.
There is also no 100% guarentee that which works for me works for you also and if something is working well for you then is no reason to change.
