I'm 2 weeks ahead of you :p, should have talked so we have done it at the same time. I started one week after you, then had a small "hang up" that forced me to take off one full week from my first thursday. What kinds of things are you doing during switching phase? | ||

Yeah I'm thinking of just stuffing myself full of food and see what happens The thing is, I've started to eat when I'm feeling hungry and that's just it, I'm not hungry anymore :o Weird for someone who used to be overweight.

Don't know what it is now ^^' This sounds like me 7 months ago! I'm no expert, so if someone who sounds more educated wants to contradict me, that's fine, but here's what I'd recommend: 1. Eat more. When I started out, I focused on eating meals that were low calorie, and just eating when I was hungry, and as a result was eating only 900 - 1200 calories per day. Eventually, I was no longer getting any results, and was feeling pretty shitty overall. I guess on the plus side, it lead me to TLHF to get some answers! Anyway, if you're anything like me, you want to see results from your determination and hard work, but you have to realize that it takes time and you need to take it "slow and steady." I'd suggest shooting for 1500 calories on rest days and 1800 on workout days. I don't know your height/weight/age, so maybe this should be modified based on that, but that's what I do and I've found it effective and I feel really good. I'm pretty sure you'll still have a significant calorie deficit as well. 2. Eat more protein!. #1 is really easy when you take the advice to try to get 1g of protein per lb of body weight per day. To be honest, I don't get that much protein, but I do try to get my bodyweight of protein on workout days and ~140+ on rest days. Again I'm no expert, but protein is filling, satisfying, helps build muscle, and it's pretty manly to eat dead animals! 3. Measure yourself only once a week. Early on, I was checking the scale every day, and it just confused and frustrated me. In all honesty, it's possible that you're making significant progress right now, but aren't seeing it due to natural fluctuations in body weight. Try to weight yourself at the same time every week. Personally, on Wednesday mornings, I get up, go to the bathroom, and weigh in. Even then, the numbers can be confusing, as it sometimes appears like I made no progress after a good week, and then magically lost 3 lbs the next. The point is, you really have to look at the long term, and weighing in every day isn't going to give you any meaningful information. Good luck and have fun! | ||

When I got to the gym, Right off the bat I could tell that my upper back hurt. The barbell was hurting it for some reason and the first warm-up (with only 20kg) felt really awkward. By the end of the quick warm up I was just fine. I went for a 80kgx5x5 PR and the first set was a big struggle, but normal. The 2nd set was a little worse, and the barbell wasn't really on a 'natural' position on my back. I initiated the 3rd set, did two reps and after that I remember feeling really week and basically thinking "holy shit I can't do it, If I go down I won't come back up again." I still took a couple deep breaths before deciding to place the barbell back. I felt really shitty as this is the first time it happens to me. After that, I was so fucking disappointed I wanted to go home but decided to stay in the gym and at least do something else. I did 40kg3x5 military press (as opposed to the usual 42kgx5x5) and went for the deadlift. I was really pissed at myself and decided to go for a PR. I actually added 4kg to my PR instead of just 2kg. That almost saved the day, but I'm still disappointed and worried about the squat hehe. I'm afraid to fail again. It sucks that at my gym they don't have a proper rack right now, so I wouldn't like to go for it and risk having to let the barbell go since the floor is not prepared for it. meh. I'm angry. | ||

Get angry, blast some angry music and kill that weight. EDIT: didn't read the whole post first. If you don't have a proper rack or anywhere to dump the weight safely try to get spotters. Your main goal now should be getting a gym with a proper squat rack or cage though =] How are you squatting if you don't have safety bars? | ||

Don't be so hard on yourself, drinking 6 days straight has its toll on your body or at least, on your CNS. Form break and follow up weakness is normal. Next time plan ahead and keep a "light" day before you jump back into heavy training. If you are doing m/w/f split just do sunday or monday light, and then train on tuesday/thursday/saturday. Continue normal m/w/f after. I disagree with the poster above, I think the worst you could do is push yourself too hard and injure urself. Alcohol produces dehidratation and ruins or technique, so you are in a bigger danger. It is very different than pushing yourself hard when you have been training for more than 3 weeks and your form is a lot better. | ||

There is a huge difference between not trying a rep because your last one hurt and you are worried about form and not doing a rep because you are tired and are worried about not being able to do the next one. =\ | ||

I still suggest squat partials or static holds, just to get used to the heavy shit on your back. | ||
