Well Switchman, i am listening to everything you say =D i just don't wanna gain fat... and be fat =(

BUT, i am following rippetoes 3x5 hard, and im not adding anything to it.
Also, i did order the book but im waiting for it to come in (ordered it Friday night) so it should come sometime soon.
When i get SS i will follow Rippetoe's diet most likely, but is that not for people that are adults? I no way in hell can eat like a shit load. So i may tone it down just a bit.
I want to build my body, and i am taking in all the info you guys give me. So i am/will follow anything you would say Switch as long as its not ridicolous =D
Thanks

Oh, and today was workout B =D

So i thought the squats went decent.... but i have a problem when i squat. One of my legs tends to buckle, but i may have found the problem why because im pushing more off with my leg, not my ass. And when i pushed up with my ass the lift seemed easier. Idk is that the problem as to why my leg is buckling?

Military Presses - well, i started off with the bar (45lb) and tried to learn the form. I thought this lift was easier than deadlifts and bent rows because the form is somewhat simple. I really felt it in the shoulders.

Bent Rows (85lb) - i suck dick at these.... all i have to say. My form is absolutely balls i think. I tried to keep my back straight, head forward, and weigh in the hips. But when i was doing the lift i was feeling it quite a bit in the back, and somewhat in the traps not a ton though.

Btw, i am uploading videos of Workout A on Monday, and Workout B on Wednesday next week.

keep going... lower the weight on BB Rows to start with the bar and work on form, then increase to 65 and in 5 pound intervals up to the point where you feel like you sacrifice your form.

Military press is the hardest lift to add weight to... don't be discouraged

Squats you start with your ass and hips going back, not your knees. Go down as far as you can, then explode off of your heels (if it helps, keep your toes curled).

Thanks J. Yeah i was discouraged at my military but i will keep on going =D

BB rows DEFINATELY going to lower the weight next week.

Oh, and i got a hugeeee question for squats. I hear that Rippetoe says add 2.5% more weight onto your current weight (so if its 200lb you would add 2.5lb to each side to total 5lb which is 2.5% of 200).

If i am squatting 85lb should i go up by 2.5lb each workout on each side of the bar, to total an increase of 5lb each workout? or how would i increase the weight?

Also how do i increase the weight, or by how much and how often on my bench and deadlift.

Oh, and last question not about lift, rather a food.

I have a feeling its really shitty for me, but i love eating it But i don't have it a lot, maybe 3 times a week not sure. less maybe more (but when the bacon runs out i will tell my parents to stop buying bacon)
I eat a bagel, with 2 slices of processed cheese, with 3 pieces of bacon sliced in half and warmed up in the microwave for 30sec. ....

I have a terrible feeling this is shit, and i shouldn't be eating it? right?

For squats, just try to add 5-10 pounds to the bar per workout; you can't add any less than 5 pounds without having a different amount of weight on each side.

I believe that according to Rippetoes, you should increase the weight on the bar every time you hit the gym. Be smart though; if you are deadlifting 135 and it's really easy, you can add 10 pounds per workout until it gets challenging. Once it starts getting hard, add 5 pounds. Ideally, it will be hardest to add weight to military, followed by rows, bench, squats, then deadlifts.

It's fine to have that from time to time- just don't overdo it. It is a good source of protein, but if you're having it 4 times a week i would cut that out for overall health reasons.

lol, whey directly after a workout is a good thing...........also eating an entire chicken and drinking a gallon of whole fat milk.......ED would be ideal.

Totally unrelated, but my grandpa ate bacon and then eggs fried in bacon grease everyday for over 93 years.........he was completely healthy and independent until my grandmother died. He died 2 weeks after she did. At no point to my knowledge did he ever weigh more than 135lbs. He smoked and drank until he fell off the roof and punctured his lung when he was 76. Some time in his Mid-eighties France sent him a diplome` for helping liberate their country. He sent that shit back to France and told all his grandchildren that he didn't want anything from those French sissies and we shouldn't either. Basically what I'm getting at besides my grandpa being a hard ass and the previous few generations including ours is a bunch of vegan pussies is that bacon at breakfast is good thing.

Now.......your 15,6ft,and a 155lbs give or take? I understand that these dudes in magazines look good to you right? I didn't even look at your pictures because your not fat. Period. Given your current situation you can eat whatever you want if you feel like eating it when you want to eat it and if your training the way I said you will get bigger because you'll be adding muscle. Period. Now if your going to be weird about this diet shit....the one meal regardless of what anyone else says that you can enjoy evereyday is........Drumroll please......fucking breakfast. Oh but why is this you ask? It's because all the shit you eat at breakfast throughout a normal day will be burned off your pretty little 15yo booty because your squatting now son and if your metabolism was a person it would look like arnold in his prime.

I refuse to give up on you ark.
