Mr. Blink's Starting Strength Log

[Locutus]

Vegetarian by religion. Im a hindu and we view animals as god's pets.

I went to a local burrito restaurant and ate the biggest burrito size they had. People that do this get to be on their hall of fame. The burrito is as long as a cafeteria tray and as thick as a softball. Here is my skinny ass:

I think this guy is trolling the SS forums.

Case in point: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...&postcount=211 was not "yesterday"

and

there's this post, claiming he got in a car accident: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...&postcount=246

...

There are some other inconsistencies, like his post to Johnny Pain:

where he states the worksets are "from monday," even though they were taken in January.

The BB.com was an excuse to get my account deleted. No worries..im still in tact.

The picture is from a week ago but i did go eat another one day before yesterday.

edit: If you are for real, best of luck. I don't understand the weird dishonesty, though.

I am what you would call an uneducated lifter. Ive tried many programs for a couple days and have given up because it just didn't work out for me. Either due to laziness, school work overload. But im getting my act together on this program. Rest assured.

Squat:
135 x 5
135 x 5
135 x 5

Press:
70 x 5
70 x 5
70 x 5

Power Clean:
95 x 3
95 x 3
95 x 3
95 x 3
95 x 3

Notes:
I decided to reset the weight back to 135 and work up from there so that i can see the effect of my increasing increments of milk. Im working up to GOMAD and this week, im doing 2 liters of whole milk a day. next week, ill add another liter and finally, the week after, i should be able to drink GOMAD without having explosive shits.

Squat: I need to focus on keeping my chest up and abs tight so i end up losing tightness at the bottom. The knees out seems to be working pretty well.

Press: Im re-reading the Press section in SS to learn how to do the hip thrust once the weights get heavier. With 70 lbs, i was able to use only shoulder and tricep strength.

Power Clean: Im not used to this motion and ill will get used to it through practice.

Good possibility of videos on friday so my form may be picked apart by you more advanced guys

I know cardio is not reccommended for novices but today was too nice out to let it go to waste. I was going to run but i always feel like shit after running the next day and i dont want that to affect my squat. Biked for 45 minutes. moderate hills.

Feeling really bloated and light headed today. Things will be interesting today.

Deadlift:
260 x 5

Chin Ups:
BW x 3
BW x 3
BW x 3

Notes:
Today, i my lower back felt tight after my squat sets. However, it became a lot better after doing the deadlift set. I need to focus on keeping the lower back tight making sure that the knees are going out. I dont think ill be able to get a videos on friday because my brother has a track meet then and i dont know how to use the self timer function on my camera.

Question for my log readers:

Is it normal to feel a bit of lower back tightness after your squat sets?

Thanks.

105 x 3

Notes:

For some strange reason, i think i pulled an adductor while setting up for the press. I need to stretch hamstrings more. I think i will be able to make one or two more 10 lb jumps before i need to start making 5 lb jumps on squat. More focus on knees out and chest up and squat will be fine. Press felt good. Power cleans will take more getting used to but i was able to complete the sets. Im increasing the milk consumption to 10 cups a day at minimum.
