Here's where Im at now

Here's where I was a year and a half ago.. I want the same but obviously more muscle

 

[Nuke Dukem]

This workout actually went really quick..almost too quick. It was around 20mins to do all 5 sets of the 3 exercises

I kept the bench at just the bar, The bent over rows just the bar, but for the squats I threw 5lbs on each side..

I was actually sweating from it.. ahaha

good luck breh, stick w it and don't get discouraged. and most importantly WATCH THOSE CALORIES.

the results won't be immediate, but much quicker than you think.

Started this a few weeks ago but didnt start with no weight because I thought it was pointless

Got bored after 2 weeks but my friend swears by the 5x5 so will go back to the start and do it properly

Good luck breh

 

[Nuke Dukem]

Thanks everybody


Idk.. I feel like it went too fast, only 20 minutes for everything..but hey it was only the bar


Squats weren't bad yet, but I was only doing 5lbs on each side


I'm worried about my form... I think I'll bring someone with me on Sunday to point out any errors

I use this program as well, it'll take more time when you start doing warmup sets and when the weight gets heavier it'll take a few minutes in between sets.

the further you go the more time youll need between sets

and once you start lifting BW values or 75% of bodyweight on lifts, you should strongly consider warm up sets

I forgot how much cutting sucks... Having a calorie budget really puts food in perspective..

 

[Nuke Dukem]

Went over by 82 calories tonight (had a mini protein bar that was 80 cals just now)

Not getting enough protein so I still feel hungry after maxing on my calories


Need to be more strict... Gym in the a.m

 

[Nuke Dukem]

How Much and When Can I Start Adding Cardio In the Mix?

I miss do my couch 2 5k prgram


@MMSex @The ADD

 

[Nuke Dukem]

One thing I never seen explained is... What do I do when I reach my max with weights and I cant get all 5 reps or sets done

Do you then stall on the weight your struggling with?

Hows that work?
