They're like doctors, you know.

And wtf at being 6' 1" 155lbs and having a 34" waist??? Is that just me or does it sound correct.

Does someone have a good link to info about nutrition. I understand that you want to consume x calories per day, and generally know how many calories various foodstuffs have, but ...... I'm no expert of when you want proteins, when you want carbs, what you should eat at different times of the day, what you should consume before a workout, after a workout etc. I'm looking for something easy to understand and bs free, LOTS of bs out there on diet imo.

Thanks.

i'm 5'8" -5'9" 165 lb with a 33" waist. its possible i guess (although highly unlikely).

Ok I was doing squats, deadlifts and press today.

My lower back kinda hurt after the workout, it is fine now, only hurts a little bit if I put pressure on it. Is this standard?

[kitaristi0]

How is your form? Are you keeping your lower back straight while squatting/deadlifting or letting it round?

I like to think that I keep it straight.
I mean it's not real pain, it could be normal soreness, but not really sure either.

This is reasonable. I have the same waist at 10 lbs more. Add 5 inches and subtract 20lbs and you then have a still bigger wasit... only one answer... FATTIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys,

I have some butt wink when I squat. I see you guys suggest some stretching to fix that, is there anywhere I can read up on that? I do some of Cressey's MS stretching pre-workout, but that doesn't seem to be fixing this problem (unless I'm doing something wrong).

Also, I've seen some of you guys mention that SS doesn't target horizontal pulls. Is this something you normally address with intermediate programming? If so, how?

Thanks.

[Soulman]

Atrain,

butt wink is usually caused by tight hamstrings, and that's what you need to stretch. And be sure to keep your back in extension as well, and don't go waaay low (although I doubt that's the issue).

[Hardgrove]

I have the same problem. What's the best solution: dynamic stretching pre/post-workout, static pre/post, static while watching tv, yoga, something else?
