Eric,

How many different types of lifts are you doing in the course of a week?

Hey guys,

I am currently doing that 5x5 program on madcow's website. The lifts I do during the week are:

Front Squat
Pendlay Row
Bench Press
Military Press
Romanian Deadlifts
Some arm stuff at the end of the week

I'm not eating that much right now so I haven't been gaining any weight. It's a little tough getting in all my cals because my commute to campus is a total of 3.5 - 4 hours a day and I've been pretty lazy. I'm just trying to keep up my strength without losing too much muscle mass. I'd say I'm eating just 2500 cals a day right now.

Goddamit Eric.

I thought these were pounds. I was so relieved that I wasn't the only one that struggled with the heavy weights.

And wtf is this:

How is bench-pressing 200lbs not strong? Hyachachacha, you put me on life-tilt.

well, a 200lb bench press really isn't impressive at all. My buddy (with whom I usually train) is much bigger and stronger than me. He benches almost 300lbs and front squats like 285 or something so my weights pale in comparison to his.

edit: he only benches 275.

it was asked much earlier in your thread if the weights were in pounds but you never answered.

I was pretty sure they were kilos but I could tell from other responses that they thought they were pounds.

I guess everyone else is using lbs since we're pretty US dominated.
