Anytime you restrict calories, your training will suffer, it doesnt mean you wont make progress though, plenty of my clients are on calorie restricted diets, especially the girls, doesnt stop them doing 300lb deadlifts

I train at zest in mirrabooka as it's close to me, suprisingly for a fairly large chain they have most of the good equipment like power racks, bench's etc. A lot of gym socialites there but I just focus on my own work so doesn't really bother me.

i've been doing this program for 2 proper weeks now. Effective as hell in knocking me out. Especially the squats and deads in the same session. I'm going thru a bit of DOMS atm... should I just be upping calories in order to recover from this asap?

Someone mentioned it earlier but not much response was given - Rippetoe's Starting Strength program recommends 3x5. Others like Lyle McDonald recommend aiming training towards your goals, ie dont try and convert a strength program into a hypertrophy program and vice versa. The realm of 8 reps is traditionally thought of as hypertrophy territory, yet you are recommending this rep range with the goal of achieving 1 rep max strength goals. Would it not be better to use a strength oriented program to achive these goals?
