Bunch of Advil will mask it. Zed I have another question. How should I determine what amount of weight to start with?

Re: Planet fitness

Ok bro this is gonna blow your mind, but here goes.
Consider what you think you should start with.......then drop that by 35-50%.

The prob that most peeps have with the 5x5 is that they start way too heavy. You have to remember that on the SL 5x5 you gonna add 5 Lbs to every lift, every workout except Dead lifts. There your gonna add 10 lbs.
So at first you start out and you say this is bull shit. And then if you stick with it you get about half way thru and then you say "dam this is getting to be heavy ass shit man"
So if you start super light and you dont feel like your getting enough workout, then do extra sets. This is excellent for your connective tissues in getting them ready for the massive loads to come.
Bro the first time around I started (on bench) with an empty bar. I ended at 5 sets of 5 reps at 315.
Now you can always do a reset if you find that you started out too heavy but to me the system works much better if you can consistently keep moving forward.
Feel free to ask all you want bro. Will do my best to help you out.

Nah dude for your first time thru it do it exactly like I wrote it out for you. You are getting a hell of a core workout with all the squats and the deads, not to mention the bent over rows bro.
Just do it exactly as I wrote it out. You will see why as you progress thru it.

It is at the moment. The one down south isn't bad I banged some weight and no siren so I asked and they said they don't have it turned on there. The guys that work there actually look like they work out.

Re: Planet fitness

^^^LOL well that a good thing then bro!^^^
are you serious, does a siren really go off if you bang the weights?
I work out at home so I have no clue what really goes on in public gym except for what you guys tell about.
