wow i love this site =D

So, just to clarify, i have been searching and reading around. From what i gather, any workout shouldn't be longer than 1 hour? Basically should run 45minutes-1hour?
Also, if the workout is 45min.-1hour, and for me, i am eating (with the mutant mass) around 2000-2500calories a day, how effective is a 45minute workout if your trying to gain muscle? maybe its cause im newby lol, but that doesn't seem like it would help you gain much muscle? :S
i know though right now i am going to be just training form on rippetoes 3x5 routine, but when i get a good form will the 3x5 routine help me gain results based on my diet i posted?

eat 3000kcal a day or so nor 2000-2500

45mins - 75mins is probably optimal workout time, you have to push yourself hard, if you are doing it right you wont be able to workout for much longer than that

yes 3x5 will help u get good results

Thanks extra

Basically, tomorrow is monday and i normally work out weekdays (not on weekends).

SO, should i start the 3x5 tomorrow? I most likely won't add any weights onto anything tomorrow. Only thing may be squats, and deadlift i will add weights to. Bench press i will add weights obv.

I will most likely be doing Workout A (below) tomorrow, and B on wednesday.

Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift
2x8 Dips

Is this fine to do? Or should i just wait till i get the book?

lol switchman =D

Sooooooo today my was first workout following rippetoe (workout A)...........

oh
my
god

So i never squatted before, and i did the squats first. I started out no weight, then 65lb. 3reps, then 85lb was my working set.
I have a feeling my form sucks... BUT i really feel it now. my thighs extremely kill, and my hip joints/groin area is also really sore.

I then did my bench, nothing to say much i have benched tons before.

After i did my deadlift............. wow. im guessing my form sucks balls in this also. but i really felt it in my gluutes, and somewhat in my back. Oh, my deadlift starting was no weight, then my working set of 95lb.
I am definately going to video my lifts at the end of the month, then get them critiqued. I really have no clue how i am going to do powercleans.... lol

skip the cleans for now until you can video them and do bent over rows.

your hips and glutes being sore are good signs!! it shows you're probably activating them during the lift. How deep did you go on the squats?

deadlifts you can typically start with the most weight

out of curiosity, how much are you benching. Also a tip for bench if you don't already do so- plant your heels into the ground, and arch your back so you can push up off your heels if you need to.

Hey nice to see you posting =D

On squats, to me it looked retarded cause of the size of my body, but i went extremely low, till my thighs were almost touching my calves.

For benching, i always have this fucking problem, i never feel it in my chest. and i know i must be doing something wrong... but my form is good :S

Basically i am benching 115lb and i do arch my back (learned from rippetoes videos). i am not pushing much off my heels. I always go down and touch my chest with the bar, and go back up ( i touch around mid chest).... but i never feel it like wtf

And for powercleans, you said skip them and do bent over rows? when should i switch to cleans?

**ALSO** i am going to be putting up videos of my lifts, say next Friday latest. So if you can, look for my new post on critiquing my form =D it will be up next week.
