My workout plan (thanks zander)

I will tell you that if you concentrate on form on all your exercises that you will experience solid results.

Remember to feed your body too brother and get some zzzzz's when needed.

Absolutely.

Like I said in the other thread, make sure you're doing everything correctly before worrying about how much weight you are lifting. This is especially important with squats and deadlifts. If you get your form right early on, EVERYTHING will be a lot better thereafter.

Have you squatted before? If not, start doing 5x5 with the bar only and add 10lbs or so every workout. Make sure you're going really low - ass to the floor so to speak. Do you have a video camera? Everybody needs one. I need one!

Have I done squats.. lmao.. sorry, but thats a funny question. Of course I have! box, ass to floor, hack.. I've tried them all.. I prefer hack squats, but Have no problem doing about 200lbs for 5 sets of 5.
