I was shopping on amazon for new whey right now and gambled on caramel toffee fudge flavored ON whey because it was cheaper than other flavors. Do I need to go acquire some arrested development "I've made a huge mistake" GIFs for this? I've only had chocolate and vanilla from ON before.

I just started going to the gym last Sunday (been going every other day so far) and I'm just now getting over the soreness that set in on my first visit. My quads, ass, and groin were especially sore and Tuesday was the peak. I can see what you mean about it "feeling good," though, as you know you're going to be stronger once you recover.
The soreness is mostly gone today, and I just tried doing some air squats this morning before coming into work and I was amazed by how light my body felt compared to just a week ago. It was like I got some extra springs in my legs or something.

Yeah improved strength and flexibility feel really awesome, keep up the good work.
I'm so reluctant to do cardio, but I feel I won't get any leaner without it. I'm seeing pretty decent muscle separation though a little puffy in this pic, might be spilling over as I had been eating more in celebration of my sisters and the homie's graduations. Dieting down isn't that serious to me, though I would like to see if I have any sort of feathering going on, it could be like Christmas tree action in July.
You are describing it right and everything else looked good. Good job.

Your fitocracy logs are insane. I wouldn't be surprised if you're the strongest guy here pound for pound.
Thank man, I think my squats are solid. My deadlifts are pretty weak imo.
Bait PR post?

Will you be joining us fitbros now? You and Evil can compete to see who's the strongest mod.
he only posted in here to get his satch-related laughs for the day
we have a history
but i think that he should stay, even if only to cement himself as the baddest dude on neogaf (sorry evilore)
Fuck. Lowered the starting 5/3/1 weight for squats and as I'm warming up, everything feels ok for the first 3 sets. Get to 185x5 and on the 5th rep huge tightness in my lower right back. Fuck fuck fuck. Tried leg press but after one rep that wasn't happening. Moved on to pull-ups and at least I got a pr on them (5x6).
My upper body stuff has been going great, but this lower body stuff :/ it's really depressing to see your hardwork just dumped. I know it's a temporary setback and only rest can help it but it just sucks.

Awesome! dhftns has a ton of recipes with vanilla protein so this'll be great for that!!
Thank you Petrie, I love you
Lower back tightness? Could you describe it please?
I'm surprised it happened on the leg press machine, leg press does a good job keeping the low back out for most, unless the low back was tweaked when squatting and just stayed bothersome.
Might be you need to work on your posterior chain more before you can advance to higher weights.

Yeah it was probably just still bothering me from squats. I did some light leg curls and now I'm stretching. Slowly doing some hanging back raises is making it feel better.
Going by this it's in the internal obliques. It just feels very sore and tight.
It's not shooting like pain. I can feel a huge knot there.
Or you could eat well and feel even better!!
On a side note, my UC has killed my desire to eat. It's eggs, chicken, and rice 24/7. Can't wait to feel better and variety. Also amazed at how I am still staying strong.

Anyone got advice on eating? Although I lift I just don't feel THAT hungry, and it's really starting to get in the way of my lifts squats especially
Well, at least you stopped before it got too bad. My ego got the best of me and I'm out of doing squats/deadlifts for at least a week.
That's the thing though, I already took off a week :/
I'm looking to see what chiropractors my insurance covers so I can get free massages.
Anyone here take greens-type supplements? I picked up some more whey protein this morning and the guy at the supplement store asked me if I was taking greens as well. I guess in addition to improving immune function, they're also supposed to help out with energy levels (in combination with proper diet)?
I have taken them in the past (Greens Plus), but they are quite expensive, just wondering what the opinions are of if they provide enough benefit to someone who is training.

Do body weight stuff
Like push ups, squats, lunges, etc? There's no pull up bar.

i might have pulled a groin muscle. when i sneeze it hurts. moving my legs around causes pain in the lower right area of my groin.

Daaaamn Fit GAF's MVPs are getting hit with injury
What should I sacrifice? A chicken breast? protein bar?
Chicken breast. I save bars for when I'm in a rush/on the road.

Doing my first refeed day today. This is glorious.
So far...

Meal 2 (post-workout)
-2 Oreo Pop-Tarts
-1 scoop whey
Aiming for ~350g carbs and obviously keeping fats fairly low at ~70g.
