I used to use Bio Trust protein because it was the cleanest I could find. That was until I found this one that takes

clean one step further with grass fed cows.

Been doing 5x5 Stronglifts for about a year and a half now.  Seems to be stuck at these weights for about couple of months.

What's your nutrition like?

If you aren't eating at a surplus and putting on muscle, your strength will eventually plateau.

EDIT: How the hell do you bench 250 for 5 reps, and deadlift 250...

I don't know but that's just the way it is.  My upper body is obviously stronger than quads.  Problem with deadlift is trying to avoid any lower back injury so I try to keep it reasonable.

I been trying to lean cut for the last few months.  Eating about 2500 calories per day with 180 g in protein.  Got down to 14% body fat.  I would prefer to be around 12% body fat.  But that last 2% seems to be hard to do.

I went to http://www.gnc.com/Buy-2-Get-1-Free-Mix-and-Match/family.jsp?categoryId=41522676 to get the deal but it still comes up at a subtotal of $80.73.

Is there a promocode you have to use?

[RFKFREAK]

Sorry, it's actually $57.99.

Decided to go with this (vanilla ice cream flavor) instead of the AMP from GNC.

5 lbs @ $57.99 > 3 lbs . @ $59.99

Called GNC.

They aren't running the promotion anymore but they were willing to honor it since it's still on their website.

Nice bench. I've had similar anomalies where I can Deadlift 315 but barely bench 150. Like @sliceoflife said, I think it's nutrition, but also form. Feel free to post a video of your form here, there's some experienced guys to give good feedback. As for my workout, thankfully I'm strong in the Deadlift, as I had to lift a golf cart off of a curb that I thought I could clear for a shortcut. On vacation in AZ. No gym for the next few date.

Another Insanity workout - still good fun, even if some of the exercises are pretty horrible.

My timing is impeccable!

Legs day on Wednesday (man do I not like legs day).  I think I've finally found good weights for each exercise as I could feel the muscles working on all of them, none of them were easy, and towards the end, finishing was difficult.

Dumbbell Squats	30 lbs x 3 sets x 12 reps
Lunges	30 lbs x 3 sets x 12 reps
One leg Calf Raises	30 lbs per arm x 3 sets x 12 reps
Dumbbell Deadlifts	30 lbs x 3 sets x 12 reps

Didn't get to cardio Wednesday so did it yesterday.  Only had 20 minutes, though, because I didn't want to miss too much of the Rangers game so did cardio during the first intermission and burned 338 calories.

For the first ten minutes I did a pre-programmed workout on the treadmill but it really didn't do much and I only burned 119 calories.  I upped the intensity on the last ten minutes and started with a 2 minute jog, followed by a 4 minute run, a 1 minute sprint, and then a 3 minute cool down jog which burned 219 calories.  I think I can consistently do this pace and see about doing it for 20 minutes next week and then, depending on how that goes, maybe 30 minutes after that.

Push day today which, oddly, I find to be the most enjoyable, and then see if I have time for some cardio.  Otherwise, that'll be on the agenda for tomorrow.
