If my squat was 350 last week then my motivation currently is to get 352 this week. I like bigger numbers better than little numbers. 352 is bigger than 350.

Long term goals simply aren't as effective as short term goals. People lose their way. I have no idea when my squat will be 405, but a couple lbs at a time will get it there.

Compare to your program where you only do each lift once a week.

What does that have to do with anything?

Some people are better doing lifts more often and some aren't.

I'm doing each powerlift plus the press once every 9 days and it's going just peachy. Squats 3x a week was just fine when I squatting 165.

Do you guys buy protein and stuff at the vitamin stores? I'm underweight and really want to gain weight and muscle but idk the best way to go about doing that.

You can buy whey protein but I only have it on hand for when I don't have time to prepare food after a work out. Otherwise I'll have a bunch of milk and/or a tuna sandwich.

Haha "do you buy protein at the vitamin store?"

Hop on your bicycle with $50 in your pocket and a backpack on. Go to your nearest big supermarket and stock up on 2kgs of chicken breast, 2kgs of lean ground beef or steak, 1kg of some other random meat, 48 eggs, 10 cans of tuna, olive oil, fish oil, butter, coconut oil, 1 kg of fresh veggies, 1 kg of frozen veggies, some fruit, plain rolled oats, 1kg brown rice.

Repeat each week.

There is your protein + fillers, no vitamin store needed.
