Hi everyone, one month later I thought I'd post an update.

I've been doing the 5X5 program - had to spend a lot of time and internet videos on proper form, especially for squats and neutral wrists. I've got a good routine going now and I don't think I've ever squatted so often or so much weight. One thing I had to focus on early is learning how to fail on the squat so that I was not afraid of pushing myself - I train alone in the garage so can't rely on having folk around to help me. I'm still not comfortable with the safety aspects of bench pressing on my own but I have practised unloading the bars (which do not have clamps on them) and it seems to go OK.

Overall going pretty well, I have another 4 weeks I can focus on it until I go away for xmas for 3 weeks. I'll try and find a gym where we are going and hit the new year running.

thanks everyone...will keep the updates coming.

Do you have a proper rack or just a squat rack? Safeties on the rack are the go if you're benching alone. Its the same thing as you say with squatting, some times you have to fail just to strengthen the mind.

I have just a squat rack but I got two safety rails welded that make it similar to a cage. They are height adjustable and connect to the rack with some pins.

works great for squats but the pin holes are just not the right height for press - too high and I can't get down to my chest and too low so I can't get out of the way. I' thinking Santa may need to be squeezing a rack down the chimney.

Sounds like a good idea. I have trained alone for years now and a decent rack is priceless.

Hey, I am going on a holiday for a couple of weeks and was hoping to keep up the momentum using bands. Possibly a little controversial but just wondering whether anyone had any suggestions...

Just enjoy the holiday, but if you must use the bands or perform bodyweight exersices. Push ups, burpees, sit ups, jumping squats. Do them as a circuit. 10 ea x 3-5 with 1 min rest between sets.

Thanks for that.

Post any of your questions, no matter how silly you think the question might be

Gday!

I'm a 6'3 75kg ectomorph who has been eating 6 meals a day and doing gym every day for the past 3 months solid.

I have made some small gains and am happy with my progress.

Any suggestions on how I can improve on gains?

Cheers

 

[Shrek]

How much are you really eating?

This is a common question these days.

If you are happy with your progress and you would like to bodybiuld with a view of competition then drugs is what you will need to take, bit there is a risk mentally and physically to this, for which we can go into if you're interested.

The other route is for health, mobility and longevity, which requires a different regime of exercise and diet.

So, the question to you is; what do you want?

I am most definitely keen to explore the option of taking roids.

I am currently being injected with Sustanon250 by my doctor on a monthly basis as I have low testosterone levels

Trains for 3 months and you recommend he gets on the gear? Come on now...

Eat more, probably train less than every day and come back in 3 years...

 

[Timeah]

You have left out a very key point in your progress to date.

- What kind of weights are you moving?
- How old are you?
- what was your starting weight?

Thanks.

What's your routine like?
Without knowing anything else my first suggestion would be to not work out every day
