Yeah I've kept track of the weights s and increased accordingly by memory. And for the past 2 weeks I was tracking on ios notepad but just signed up for fitocracy so I'll just log there now. I should have mentioned I only started physically tracking recently since I do know what weights I've done each workout.

What do you guys think it takes to achieve this frame? The proportions and all.
Real broad shoulders. Fairly skinny but still lean.

Bros. New PR's at the gym tonight.
Squats: 325lb 3x5
OHP: 150lb 3x5
Deadlifts: 315lb 1x5
Was EXTREMELY satisfying getting that 3 plates on deadlift. I started doing them very late in my routine due to fear of hurting myself, so im still catching up on them, but love them now. This is all on a cut with ketosis, 5 weeks in now cutting.
So i have some questions for you guys. I wear a heart rate monitor watch, and after a heavy set on squats, i usually hit 160+ on the heart rate, today i hit 171 right after my 2nd set of 325. Should i be concerned? I turn 35 soon, not sure if im possibly causing damage to myself? One of the guys at the gym said my heart could blow up from being that high, now i'm not sure lol.
Also, i decided to add skull crushers and kroc rows to my everyday accessories. Now that its too many accessories, im considering splitting them up and doing half on A day, half on B day with 3 sets of 8 each, or do them all everyday im at the gym, but do 2 sets of 8 instead to make them go quicker. Thoughts?
Yah, cleans are not for me, anything i have to drop from the air, no thanks. I do pandalay rows instead. Love the explosiveness of them.

Yeah that's much different than saying you haven't tracked progress! lol
That was my first 3 months of "SS", just going and doing whatever weights I felt like without the progression. Then I got the book and restarted proper. Damn wasted time.
I think it's fair to say most of us in this thread have it to some degree, lol
He what? He looks like he came from a prison camp.
Grilled chicken breast, broccoli, brown rice, and sweet potato
Awwwwww yeah. Livin on the edge
Lots of cardio to earn those burgers and dogs later. Lets do this!
Looking up turkey burger recipes now.
ANNNND found one

Do not believe what most of the gym have to say to you. As for the heart rate, I think you're going to be okay. Did you feel off at all during your second set of squats?
Fuck that commie bullshit. Beef or bust.
More protein, less calories, boiiiii
Blackflag, looking fantastic. How much less bloated do you feel?
Unamerican. Fat is good for you. America! Woo!
it depends. On the day of the week. I have two 300g carb days a week, one 200g carb day, two 100g days, one 50g carb day, and one no carb day. I can feel pretty bloated after the 300g carb days. I basically fart all day long the next day ha.
How dod you have a space for deadlifts but not power cleans?
That's the million dollar question right there.
Had a good day at the gym today. I was finally feeling up to it and that's good because it was 2,5 weeks from my last workout. Got what I came for with the Press and Deadlifts which is nice for a change.

One of my coworkers who used to be a hardcore powerlifter back in the day says that I should quick fucking around with losing fat and just eat and lift heavy. I'm at 225 atm and says that in a year, I can weigh 250. Told me out of that 25 lbs, 18 of it would be muscle. I was 240 on April 1. So I did lose 15 lbs since then. I trust the guy cause he is real knowledgeable but can I really gain 18 lbs of muscle in a year? Just seems like it isn't possible cause I'm no longer getting those linear gains.
He's real funny though. Telling me that I need to just get bigger and not worry about abs or looking good in my slim jeans. Says that who cares about some fat on your stomach if your chest/back is a lot wider than it is now.

As always it's all about your goals and what you want. For me strength is desired but the physique is priority one.
the squat rack is just low enough to do RDL's (I can only go a few inches past the knees)
After a few years no but he hasn't been lifting that long has he?
Yeah, I'm confused now...
Unless he's doing everything in a smith machine.
oh god.
OH GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought falling edge has been lifting for a couple of years?
Here's where I am getting my numbers: http://muscleevo.net/how-fast-can-you-build-muscle/
10-25 first year, 5-12 2nd year, 3-6 third year (under optimal conditions)

Maybe you should, brah...maybe you should.......
Depends on how advanced you are. I know that if I skip more than a week of training my numbers will decrease.
Size-wise, doubt you'll see too much difference.
I'm more of a beginner at this stage as I've only been lifting weights for 8 months. Barely any growth cos of diet issues.
Yeah I seem to be able to get more but I'm naturally big and my wrist is 8 inches. He mentioned those as factors.

2nd guy looks alright. Should be pulling mad women
First guy looks like he can manage about five knee pushups.
Advice time again, FitnessGAF!
Been doing the full body beginner routine from the OP as I was advised to do last time and it's been good. Been seeing some nice improvements here and there. Bummed I haven't lost as much fat as I would've liked, but I write that off as my own impatience and missed weeks, so I'm not too worried.
What I am worried about though is my diet. I have a very restrictive budget so I can't afford buying groceries often. A typical day for me is usually hard bread with Philadelphia cheese and avocados for breakfast and rice or pasta with some frozen meat, like chicken or meatballs. Many nights end up with some instant noodles, however.
Today was extra weird for me cause I skipped breakfast, had rice with meatballs for lunch, grabbed some chili cheese nuggets at my mum's place (she wasn't home and forgot them in the fridge and told me to eat them) and now for dinner I had rice with dumplings.
Basically, I want to know if there's something in a similar price range of what I usually eat that I should target instead, or merely if there's anything I should prioritize. I'm real worried this is cramping up my progress.

Just read through the Starting Strength chapter on squats. I do have a question, though. Is it possible to go too low in the squat? I tend to go pretty deep (almost what is described as "ass-to-grass" in one of the images in the book), but should I make an effort to not go that low and stop at the level that is described as a parallel squat in the book?
Of course he told you to do that, he's a former powerlifter. Keep doing what you're doing, bro.
Can't wait too have a bunch of burgers later and some watermelon. Baked beans probably too.
