OMG! You workout for 2 hours man! I am no workout guru, but that's way too fvcking long man. The most anyone should workout is an hour. I usually workout for 45 mins, sometimes just 30 and I don't get any worse results than you. You are wayyyy overtraining man! Ease up on so many exercises.

Btw, how did the cold approach go? What did you say? Get her number?

nothing wrong with a 2 hour workout but you'd need to fuel yourself during the workout for optimum perfomance. however the above workout needs improving.

well i go with my buddies, and we take turns so the rests end up taking a pretty long time. and i don't go 2 hours, that's just the timeframe that i'll be at the gym normally. for example, yesterday i was there from 8:30 til 10 and that includes cardio, walking around doing nothing etc etc.

as the the approach i thought she was hotter when i talked to her, but then when i actually talked to her, she looked like she was in her late 20s and i don't really wana go there (still pretty hot though) i just talked to her about heroes and random stuff, made her laugh.

Kev07,

You may want to insert a day that focuses on arms & abs. If you want to keep it short and efficient try skulls crusher,kickbacks and rope pulldown for your tri and two different curl exercises for bis and then decline sit ups and upright chair leg lifts.

There is a lack of actual progress pics in this thread

i do abs 5-6 days a week, i'd rather go core excercises so i dont really throw in any pure arm excercises

Dude doing abs 5-6 days a week is wayyyyyyy too much. Just hit them hard once or twice a week for 10-15 minutes and that will be enough,they aren't big muscles you legs and back.

 

[Visions007]

Why are you bench pressing more weight than you are squatting? is that a typo?

 

[Kev07]

i used to be a weightlift noob back in freshman year (senior now) i would just bench and do various arm excercises.

i just started squating a few months ago, those weights will go up don't you worry

I don't write in caps or bold very often, but let's get this out of the way:

Don't **** with Rippetoe's routine, he's smarter than you and been doing this longer than any of us here.

Do exactly what it says, and don't add, subtract, or substitute, unless you are physically incapable of performing some lift (if you're, say, missing legs or paraplegic, you need a different routine anyway).

FYI, squats (for just one example) are a core exercise (i mean, as in your abs, etc not just as a core part of your workout, which is of course also the case)

 

[Kev07]

my squat is going up well, i can squat 155 now, opposed to strugglign with 135 before, bench also went up a bit, my deadlifts are suffering though.

still stuck at 3-4 push ups =/

current weight - 165

my diet has been going to hell, end of school year, bbqs, football, etc

This is where a clean line divides winners and losers.

Get back on your horse, soldier.

Keep it up man. Really try to get your diet back under control, as more than anything else that will really help you achieve your goals.

Good work.
