I've yet to have a bad Quest Bar.

Lemon tastes like cleaning product.
So what's the recommended daily amount of creatine? I've heard 5g.
What happens when you have 6?

225 for 3x5. The last rep I kinda messed up which made the guy behind me try to spot me. Any critiques would be appreciated
You have to keep your hips and torso moving together. When one stops and the other one keeps going, that's bad. With your 3rd, 4th, and 5th reps, it caused the bar to go forward of your mid-foot, which throws you off balance and increases the stress on your lower back muscles and takes away work from your hamstrings and glutes.http://youtu.be/m6fPisVy_iY

Yeah, I dropped from 270 down to 253. I want to go another 13 lbs by July. Hit 240 ish. I know I see progress but it is just at times, you wanna break down and eat everything. Eyes on the prize.
You don't necessarily have to have a rest day if you are just starting, or schedule it on a specific day of the week, but I do recommend one every so often. It's going to take a lot of time to get strong, and you can't really rush past your body's limits.
Working out every other day is the most common way I've seen people schedule their workouts. I had to cut back to every other day when getting up to the 60-70 range for pushups. Knowing when your body has recovered is far from an exact science and actually pretty difficult to gauge. Basically, if you had a good night's sleep, feel recovered and up for it, by all means go for it But if you're stressed out, haven't eaten well, and didn't get enough sleep.. it's probably smart to take a day off. But hey, if you are feeling good, keep on doing it every day that you can.
Oh, one more thing, keep track of how many reps you can do from day to day. If you find yourself stagnating or decreasing, get more rest.

I got starting strength. About to start reading it. Does the book go over the proper stretches? I'm anxious to get started today.
I'm going to do the first workout listed in the OP then once I get acquainted to the routine I'll start working on a diet routine (I already eat decent).
I really want to get my skinny arms looking nice.
If I'm not able to set up a pull up bar in my place what are some alternatives?
What is your routine? Are you doing cardio, or just calorie restriction?
270? Goddamn that's some dreamer bulk haha. Once I am done with this cut no more dreamer bulking for me. I gotta keep eating good just more of it and give myself 1 post workout cheat evening a week and see how it goes.
We should call OT7 the Weight Gain before/after thread. Here's my bulk Sept-April. Putting on muscle takes a long damn time. But finally OHP'd 50kg for 6, next up,100kg bench.
Thanks. I started on push-ups last night and will continue with it. I am horribly bad at them so looking forward to getting a few weeks in and improving performance and then scaling up the workouts.
Do you think it matters if you only get 3g on your off day?
Door bands or invest in a power tower
is doing 18 set of bicep exercises too much (9 set 2 days a week) ?
i've been lefting for 13 months now ( started with cutting and now bulking up).
Itbh, I've been doing bicep for 7 months now so its kinda small compared to my other muscles.You can train biceps that much since they're such a small muscle group. However, I would imagine since you've only lifted about a year you're going to look imbalanced. If you do something twice a week it should be larger muscle groups ie legs, back, or chest. That's just my two cents.
Curls in the squat rack! mathufuckin curls in the squat rack why must they do this, I mean there's no risk in curls if you reach failure you can easily drop the shit and step back wtf am u being unreasonable here
On Monday night I had 30 lbs on a barbell and was in between my first set of curls and some lte, when I came back to the rack someone was kind of hovering near it so I asked if he wanted to use it. He said naw, not if you're busy. I said curls are not really a priority and I can do my last set at any time, if you need this I will take the weights off. He even said "Well, I was going to do OHP (he said the actual acronym)...." I was like fuck yeah dude let me get out of your way! He looked so happy and said "thanks!" with a big smile and I went and did some different accessory stuff and came back to it later. Felt good. I had seen him two other times and based on what he was doing assumed he had just started the SS program which was confirmed.Curls in the squat rack! mathufuckin curls in the squat rack why must they do this, I mean there's no risk in curls if you reach failure you can easily drop the shit and step back wtf am u being unreasonable here

there's an older guy at my gym who will take the bar out of the power rack/cage, hang on the pull-up bar then stand inside the rack to admire himself (he's not very muscular or strong).
he'll do this repeatedly throughout his "workout" (eg do a set of machine preacher curls and then come back to the cage). i was doing ohp and then cleans next to the cage he frequented, so i couldm't help from observing this pattern.
