Hi, I’ve been a long-time “lifter”, but haven’t gotten the right form and technique down until recently. I am currently at the end of week 2 of Starting Strength.
Here are my stats:
Height: 5’8
Weight: 185
Age: 27
BF%: 12-14%
My old workouts so far…

Cut off food intake on after 1st workout at 9 pm, didn’t eat till 9 pm the next day (tuesday). Had sashimi, turkey leg, chicken, veggies, and lots of almonds. Stopped eating at midnight, got 9 hrs of sleep and was late for work, but felt great sleeping more. That’s one thing I need to work on. SLEEP! Affects me so much now at my age.
Pre-workout for today was 10 g BCAAs, 5 g leucine and a cup of green tea. Postworkout: 16 oz of whole milk, 3 tbps of Milo.
Anyone have any other good chocolate milk mixs? I figure I will try chocolate milk for awhile because my budget is tight after the wedding and Surge is mucho dinero. I think Ronnie Coleman uses Nesquik.
Put on a bit of mass due to this new program, but still feeling at a respectable body fat %. I’ve definitely gotten my eating under control and realize that it is ok to let go sometimes. Here are some updates from my workouts.

Having trouble holding onto the overhand grip in deadlift, but can move up in weight using a mixed grip. What should I do? Go lighter with the deadlifts using an overhand? Or keep improving but use a mixed grip?

Feeling good despite a rough night of bbq eating and beer drinking. I feel like I need to get on a diet guideline or else I might gain alot of unnecessary weight.
