You have a solid plan. Only thing I would change, go higher in reps. Maybe go 1 rep short of failure on everything. You need hypertrophy for the beach, you will get more in the 8-12 rep range.

You picked a good time to start too

Good luck!!!!

With the weight increase I dont think i'll be able to go that high breh

I put a pic up the morning I started 1/14/2013 before I worked out. @MMSex

Its in my profile.... Feel free to give pointers... I never worked out seriously in my life so this will be a learning process... and brehs dont be doin no disrespectful **** with my pics Im trying to improve myself

I will put it like this. Start with the bar for everything, and do as many reps as you can. Don't stop at 5. You will be surprised what you can do, 45lb is pretty light

As far as your start, don't even trip. We all started somewhere

good plans so far all you gotta do is EAT

dawg, I could do so much but I don't have a partner. I feel like I should be going harder and I can't.

Keep it up man. Challenge yourself though breh breh

I just put on my headphones and listen to music that takes me to a angry/motivated place and go HAM. I'm going back tomorrow and Im looking forward to it. When I do my to failure reps, I damn near wanna cry it hurts so bad... Whats crazy is that **** is starting to feel good I think I may have developed some sort of new fetish

You will start to look forward to the soreness, it's something that is earned, and it feels fantastic after a while

Just finished and I feel good as hell brehs

My only thing is that my dead lift sucks smfh I dont feel right doing it and im pretty sure Im doing it wrong I've watched coutless videos and I still cant get it right...I swear I want to punch a wall when im done with dead lifts because I feel like Im wasting my time!

if it's possible videotape yourself doing them. then watch the video comparing it to the tutorial ones online. or post them here and somebody will give you proper advice.

Well im back on deadfits on tuesday so I will do that

I could be wrong but for me as the weight I have been using gets heavier I'm more confident in my form. I do 3 sets of five at this point and my back hasn't been an issue. The heavier weights force me to use my legs.

you might be right...Im up to 15lbs on each side and it feels light and weird as hell...

I gotta think that's it. Eventually the weight won't allow you to be wrong because your back will

That's my novice thoughts anyway.

Low key... you dont need heavy bent knee deads for the beach

You wanna build your hammies... lock your knees... keep your spine straight or even arched... bend at the hip. You will build your hamstrings, glutes, and lower back, w/o having to master a technical lift or overloading your back....

*EDIT* They are called stiff leg deadlifts....
