Ohp, bench, squat, deadlift

I have a question about 1 2 3 4
Why is that so good
Also whats the 1, how do you do it

Ah, so 1pl8 ohp, 2pl8 bench, 3pl8 squat 4pl8 diddlie?

Injury question:

I had attempted starting strength in the past, and after a few days I hurt my lower back. Specifically the lower right side, right above my butt. It felt like I pulled something. Anyway I let myself heal for like 2 weeks, and after that I fell off the wagon for a bit, only lifting off and on. My lower back kept subtly hurting in the background a little bit whenever I worked out. Anyway it had been a week since I started to work out and I started feeling better. My lower back very subtly hurts sometimes, but I saw a chiropractor for it and he didn't say anything even after checking the area. Anyway, I started SS back up today and it hurts again. I'm pretty pissed and feel like just waiting for it to heal isn't gonna work. Any suggestions?

Sir yes sir

This comment's OP here. A clarification I should have mentioned is that I said by saying it had been 1 week, I meant 1 week since I stopped working out lower back again.

Thank you kindly.

Do you know if you felt it after squats or deadlifts? If its a sharp pain in the center of your back shortly after you do the lift it will be the spine itself, but if its just a tightness to the right of your spine like you said, its probably just the spinal erectors; they feel a bit different to regular doms, more like a 'tightness' since there only job is isometric.

At the least it would pay to video yourself squatting to see if your pelvis internally rotates below parallel and if you arch your back deadlifting without knowing it

newfag here, can i trust the sticky?

Yes.

In reality, the answer to pretty much any fitness related question is going to be "it depends". So as long as you understand that there's a bit more nuance to everything and nothing is black and white, the sticky is a good starting point.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Is mass gainer OK to take? What's the best for bang for your buck?

Yes, but it's just maltodextrin (sugar) and whey.

Exactly, so much drink whole milk lmfao. Not sure how much it is by you but it is under a dollar a gallon by me. feelsgoodman.

Uncle passed away and left me pic related. Can I make noob gains with this or should I sell it and go to a gym? I'm 19yo lanklet 6'2" 150lbs.

Mindless simple workout routine I can do everyday and won't wear me out or hardcore balls to the wall 2-3 times a week routine that I'll have to build my life around?

Resistance is resistance.
You can get good gains with a couple of relatively heavy rocks and a tree limb.

I've been doing GLSP for 3-4 months now and after reading the book thought I'd give starting strength a try (minus the food part), but I don't know where to start with it since the program adds in the power cleans and stuff like chinups after a few weeks
My current lifts (5rep):
>Squat 100kg
>DL 132.5kg
>Bench 65kg
>OHP 45kg
>currently at 75ish kilos, 5'9

I'm wondering if it would be a mistake since the start has you doing DLs 3 times a week and all, but I have no idea how do the power memes. Should I just learn the power clean and go with the final iteration of the program or do it from the start?

Sell. Doesn't sound like you're enthusiastic about it.

Dan John's Easy Strength (5 lifts for 10 moderate reps every day). Explanation:
danjohn.net/2011/06/even-easier-strength-perform-better-notes/
There's also a book.

Strong First Simple and Sinister (kettlebell program based on 100 swings (50 each side) and 10 get ups (5 each side) every day that takes about 20 minutes). That's really all you need aside from a kettlebell, but there's a book:
strongfirst.com/kettlebell-simple-and-sinister/

Gymnastic stuff. Rings, parallettes, floor stuff. You can practice in 5 minute blocks throughout the day if you like. A good starting book is Overcoming Gravity:
amazon.com/Overcoming-Gravity-Systematic-Gymnastics-Bodyweight/dp/0990873854
The first edition can be pirated.

Yeah I severely fucking doubt that and
>been cutting for months and still looks like shit
You need to lift more and stop lieing on an anonymous chinese image board

You could, but why do you want to switch programs? GSLP isn't really any worse than SS. If you're stalling on GLSP, maybe it's time for an intermediate program like madcow 5x5.

Can I bench and do push-ups same day

Sure. Push ups are a decent warm up for bench.

fuck i had a good laff
only chad aesthetics can help you out of this one

Lol ok kid

....what the fuck are you talking about? 1/2/3/4 is the number of plates for OHP, Bench, Squat, and Deadlift respectively.

It's a number that lots of folks like to try and hit for a good metric of status.

My chin-ups aren't progressing. What do. I've been stuck at

1x5
1x4
Negatives

for like 2 months.

This is the kind of person giving advice on this board

I strained my left pec. I'm trying to not be an idiot and actually let it rest. I didn't really fuck it up, mostly just tweaked it. How long should give it to rest? I have mist one workout so far.

Till it stops fucking hurting.

In the mean time, work with a ROM and load that doesn't cause pain.

So 1/2/3/4 is just supposed to be your ORM then?

Heres the last of what we talked but I think she'll reply later sine she messaged me first, unless she thinks asking her school is creepy which its totally not.

I just felt like I should've been able to go higher than what I'm at with a beginner program, haven't made any steady progress since hitting 2pl8 squat for instance. I'll take a look at some intermediate programs then, though I was hoping GSLP would give me some more progress

How long does it take to escape from DYEL mode?

Just gotta work out a lot and increase the amount of calories you consume. Eating and lifting and eating and lifting non stop and you'll escape it in 4 weeks.

Does Viagra make penis bigger?

I haven't cut myself for 3 months now I think. I've changed my diet around... I've been going to the gym. I've been putting in a lot of effort to better my overall health for 3 months now, with a lot of success. But this past week has been challenging. I am really trying not to fall into a cutting binge, but I feel like soon I won't be able to stop myself. I worked out today/yesterday and pushed myself a little harder to get my mind off things, but I'm laying in bed anyway, typing this out on my phone, hoping that venting will ease my mind.

Anyone else struggle with self harm? And does working out normally work for you? If it doesn't, what did you do?

I used to do that shit. Thank fuck I stopped.
Heavy ass deadlifts cure all.

All you have to do is not cut today, that's all.

Too much enthusiasm. Just look at your word count and that !

5x5 except for DL 3x5

guys plz

will flexing my abs as much as possible as I'm walking around going about my day have any effect on their size?

brainlet here. why is it pullup and chinup hit different muscle if effectively you are moving the same weight in the same range of motion up and down? i dont understand how arms work.. can someone explain like im five years old with perhaps picture or diagram?

Fuck youre right, I was just trying to make her keep talking. And I do love basketball!
