Ah that is another chicken meal we have every now and then, though we usually end up using an already pre sliced grilled chicken rather than using the chicken breasts that we cook up.
Hmm I guess I could do chicken salads.

really, then I must suck since bench is currently my worst lift and I'm 6'3" -_________-
The plates on your heels is just additional leeway for your ankles, so it's possible your ankle mobility is limited.
The anterior loading (weight being in front of you) of the goblet squat automatically forces your core to tighten and promotes thoracic extension. Maybe work on your thoracic spine, especially if you sit often and are hunched over. Also depending on how you back squat, goblet squats removes the need for shoulder mobility.
Overall, this is just me getting my thoughts out. Hard to tell if there's no video of your (back) squats. It's mostly a shot in the dark because there's potential for problems in the hips, ankles, knees, or spine that's preventing you from squatting properly. Need to screen you to narrow down the possibilities.

You have tight hams if you need to raise your heels. Stretch all the time. All day. Kick a leg up somewhere and stretch.
Watching TV? Cool. Sit in a squat position, heels on the floor. Chicken walk your living room. Get used to an upright torso in an ass to grass squat position. Just standing around? Try touching your head to your knees, legs straight, heels on the floor.
I suggested these a while back to help with form/mobility. Anything you can do to grease the groove. Bruce Lee used to do this all the time. He'd be talking to someone and just throw a leg up to stretch randomly
That's probably due to what I'm assuming is a long wingspan at 6'3". You probably have to move the bar at least 25% more than other shorter lifters.

how exactly do i keep my ass planted while bench pressing. I keep losing contact of the bench the moment i unrack.

Pull your feet back more.
When you press with your feet, your ass should not come up off the bench.

Thanks for the tips. I plan on doing these goblet squats for awhile to get used to the feel.
Is it correct though that I'm feeling this more in my hips?
Stayed home from work for 2 days due to hemorrhoids from hell, most likely due to my squat-a-thon on friday. Feck. This is the worst... except for the fact that i blasted through Uncharted 4 in just a few days
I read hemorrhoids, squat, and blasted, then this image popped in my brain.

I'm assuming that's a squat suit, because it seems to have had a ton more pressure on it than say, a set of compression shorts would have.

Taking a few days off. I moved recently and need to get a separate membership here with the home gym for when I go home on certain weekends to be with the girlfriend. I had to pay rent, security deposit, and buy groceries this week so I couldn't afford even an abbreviated gym membership here in the city. I go home on Thursday so I'll crush a few workouts there.

Your arms are pretty rockin'. They're close to the ideal that I would want for myself.
Thanks! Slowly working my way towards Cooter status. One day I'll get there!

Made my first chicken salad. (never had any chicken salad before) Wasn't fancy. Just some chicken chopped up in lettuce, added pepper, and some kale.
I also had this culinary breakthrough. After taking my first bite into the salad, I tasted a little something sweet. Don't know for sure what it was, but I couldn't get it again in the same way. So somehow I decided to chop up half a banana and mix it in the salad, which is something I absolutely wouldn't have done if it wasn't for that sweetness I tasted that I couldn't get back. It ended up being surprisingly tasty.

Banana in salad? Interesting. Might be worth a try.
Last night we did:
Spinach
Chicken
Blueberries
Strawberries
Walnuts
Poppy Dressing
Usually we do some sort of BLT Salad
Spinach
Bacon
Chicken
Avacado
Tomato
Balsamic Dressing
Delicious but I found myself completely starving 20 minutes later.

Jesus wept, the doms are off the scale. I guess that's what no lifting for a month will do to you.
They were bad yesterday, then I did an hour on the turbo trainer...
...it just took me five minutes to hobble to the kitchen (I don't live in a mansion).

you can't beat a really good salad.
Chicken, egg, avocado, feta cheese, olives, sun dried tomatoes, radish, sweetcorn, green leaves, olive oil, salt, pepper.
This is my lunch practically every day, i love it
I am not exactly a big person so no disrespect taken. Pretty average in terms of build.
Hoping to get by with just 2 for now. I am starting to track my volume so I can make sure I am not losing something somewhere. Not my favorite thing to do, but it needs to be done

Good to see you bud.
Nothing new here other than the cut is going swell. How's things on your end?

Also, those curl bars push out your triceps a lot.
I bought twenty pounds of chicken wings at Costco yesterday because of this post.

Ok so I constantly feel like I'm never making any progress. Which probably isn't true but it still feels that way. I started back in around August but didn't lift in September so I seriously started in October. I was about 135-140 back then and now I'm about 165-170 (I'm like 5'7). I can't tell if I'm doing any of this right like I get compliments from straight men constantly (to my annoyance) but that is like 25-30ish pounds I've gained... I feel like my body fat percentage is very high though. I don't know if I did this right lol like yeah I'm bigger now but I still feel i have too much fat on me.
This is probably coming off as very disjointed and rambley because it is lol. And I'm fasting for the next month so now my progress is stifled. And I hate it so much I have such an unhealthy relationship with my body. I think I need to calm down for a second whenever I think about my body I start reeling.
Sorry I'm just ranting.

Are you lifting more than you were? If so... stop complaining. If not, complain away.
Seriously though, progress is measured in so, so many different ways.

Hey guys, I've decided it's time I started taking my health and weight seriously but when I go to the gym I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm currently 5'7 somewhere between 180-200lbs and I eat terribly which has given me a gut and man boobs. I can't stand looking at this in the mirror anymore and desperately need a change. I have a gym membership and plan on using it more but like I said I have no idea what to do when I get there. Some dietary help would be good as well but I've been doing some research on that and I might be good but some advice would still be appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys

Hey, share the prep method. That looks like something I could eat often
So I've been doing SS on and off for a year.
Finally got my squat to two plates, but I find that I'm not recovering as fast so I'm starting to struggle soreness/energy wise. Is this why people start taking pre workout supplements? If so, any recommendations? Just want a boost to make it through the lift sesh.

It is around 225-250 that 3x5-style, squat every other day workouts start to be too much squatting. It is time to move on to an intermediate program like 5/3/1.
