I haven't spent any money on whey yet. You may not know this but flaxseed oil and vitamins are good for overall health of the body. I want to be healthy and fit not some bodybuilding freak. I am eating REAL food, just look clearly at my diet, chicken, eggs but i also added some pork, beef and tuna so get your facts right buddy.Mad Manic said:

MM is telling you the truth...a little nasty about it maybe...but the truth none-the-less. Your aren't just trying to be fit. You are trying to gain weight, and you do it by eating a lot. Although i think your diet is pretty good, and if you are gaining 4-6 lbs a month from it, then its perfect. Don't change anything. But if you aren't seeing any more than a pound or two a month, you need to change it.gtownjuan said:Today i confirmed my weight,120lbs. My height is 5ft 8. I really wanna bulk up. Is my diet allowing max bulk????
invest in whey immeditately. Get a 5 lb jar and have it before and after lifting. including 3-4 real meals, you will get big in no time. But at your size, like everyone says, there is no room to be picky on little details. Just 2-3 whey shakes and 3-4 real meals will do the trick.

At his size MM he doesn't need 5-6 big real meals to grow, he can grow off what i said. Plus if you add raw eggs to whey, i've heard it has a food like effect on the body...it all depends on what HIS results are. if he gains 4 lbs a month, i'd say don't change anything.

Why is your deadlift 30lbs lighter than your squat? Are you still using that hack squat machine?

On the squat you should be going ass to grass, of course some people can't manage that because of their biomechanics/lack of flexibility.
Often beginners aren't able to squat low because they lose their arch (for the above reasons-of course you can't change your torso/limb ratios). In this case you can try box squats or front squats. Then whilst you are doing that you work on flexibility until you are able to get to the lowest depth you can.
So I would try and get a video of you squatting to see whether or not you maintain an arch and to see whether your lower back rounds at the bottom. If so, you will have to do what I mentioned above. I lay out everything to do in JohnnyIrish's log if you need to do it.
Keep it up.

Week 7 Day 1 Workout A
Squats
95@5 there is this guy(he's always says "what you have in limited supply you must you as economically as possible") that points out where my technique is wrong and explains how to do it right. Quagmire911 i have good flexibility, its just that i hold too long when i at the bottom and find it hard to push myself back up. Anyway he started to explain all kinds of scientific theory of how a workout should be structured and how the different must part work and all kinda complicated stuff. Anyway, he says the weights im using is too light and that i can do more(cause i haven't reached failure). So i give it shot.
115@6 (the guys then helps me to perfect my technique)
125@5
135@10 failure @11 (i actually did these much better than the previous sets with even better form, they also weren't that hard for me to do)
I couldn't feel the strength to continue with any more exercises for this day. I will rest my legs for this week(the pain is starting to kick in) and only work my upper body.

135@10 135@8 145@6
Deadlifts
165@5 (forced it here)

not feeling it today
Alright seriously thinking of switching to High Intensity Training to failure in one set. This is making more sense that just following a routine that i don't completely understand. HIT i understand and plan to switch to it Friday.
