Dips 10, 6(My form is getting better on these/ I'm doing down deeper)
Thanks for the suggestions. I already have the book but I haven't read it yet, need to take some time to read that. Why would back extensions be better than dips? Sorry, I'm a noob at this. I'll start adding the power-clean once my friend gets back because he can probably teach me the basic-form for the power clean. He has read Rippetoe's Starting Strength and knows it pretty well. As for the 1gram protein/lb of bodyweight is that protein in terms of purely whey protein? Like since I weigh 165, do I consume 165 grams whey protein daily or is that counting other foods that I eat?
