Burning out from the novice program doesn't mean you burn out easily. It
seems more likely that you just aren't eating enough. Are you on gomad?

How tall are you?

[Chris H Laing]

You don't list your height

I'm probably around 5'9, maybe 5'10 at the tallest, but I havent been measured since last January.

The second time through SS I did gomad and I ate ridiculous amounts of food. I can link to the fitday entries if anyone is interested. During my second bout with SS I was probably eating 2500-3000 calories of solid food a day, plus the milk, but I still burnt out a little after two months.

During my winter break from school I plan on doing at least half gomad. If my parents are willing to pay for the milk I'll do regular gomad. Hopefully this way I'll come back to school at 160# with a 225#x5x3 squat.

I have been on SS since mid July; I haven't been as good about eating as I should, and I have missed workouts here and there due to work, etc., but I continue to make linear progress. Everyone's body is different, but for what it's worth, I am the same height as you, and in that time I have gone from 155lbs to around 190-195 (@ around 18-20% body fat). I doubt that I could have made as much progress without the extra 35-40lbs.

Sorry to belabor the point, but the #1 piece of advice on this forum is usually "EAT MORE."

Deloading this week so I can get after the linear progression over my break. Post workout meal yesterday was a BK double stacker and a half gallon of whole milk.

had to fight back puke for 15 minutes after this one, rowing is a suckfest

had to fight back puke for 15 minutes after this one,

Nice Work!

[Chris H Laing]

Thanks Webbie, but ideally I'd like to avoid the puking feeling after conditioning.

This one just showed me that I've been keeping my metcons too short. I think the majority of the metcons I've done since I've been at school are under 3 minutes, so when I start getting past 4 and 5 I start dying.

Also, I need to row a lot more.

tabata pullups
14-9-6-5-5-6
the last time I did tabata pullups, I got 11-9-6-5-6-5. I weighed 130#, whereas now I'm around 157-160#. Pretty happy with this; I must have gotten a lot stronger since I got more reps while weighing almost 30# more.

last time I did tabata pushups, I got 19-13-8-4-5-5. I guess I've gotten a lot stronger on pulling exercises while getting weaker on pushing exercises. Pushups have never been a strong exercise for me.
