Oh, and as of lately i've been running a mile on bleachers everymorning and doing 40 and 50 yrd sprints on the football field. Good or bad?

^There certainly nothing BAD about that. Today went to the gym and was able to put up 315x5 on my third set of DL. Thazzz my new PR!
Basically what it did for me was I think I overcame a plateau today. I was stuck around 295-300 for a while...I was scared at first but I just psyched myself up so much and in the end the reward was worth it. I thought I would've killed myself from that but I was puttin up way better numbers today for the rest of my workout because it got me so juiced.

For DL's do you guys use the normal grip or one palm up and one palm down to improve grip?

What do y'all eat on a daily/weekly basis? I'm having trouble sticking to my nutrition. I usually eat a cup of oatmeal with bananas, brown rice with corn, green peas on a daily basis with a little fruit. But sometimes I'll eat cheat foods like 2 pb&j sammiches. smh

usually past 315 i like mixed. 315 or less and i use normal since grip's not an issue

I'm the same, I go normal to 315, and then heavier I either do an alternating grip or I just use wrist straps if I'm doing alot of sets/reps.

can some people school me on creatine:
1. Would it be alright if I took it for 3 months and then cycled off?
2. What is the best way to load creatine (how many grams, do I do it with dextrose or gatorade, is it even necessary?)
3. What is the best brand of creatine? I've read that it causes bloating and other effects...are there any brands that don't cause side effects?
4. How do I cycle off of it?
5. Would it be beneficial to take this during a strength training program?

1. Yes
2. Don't need to load it. If you're just taking creatine monohydrate you CAN load it by taking a double-dose on training days, but I don't think it actually makes a difference
3. Most are relatively the same but Optimum Nutrition creatine has always gotten good reviews. It may cause bloating. I take Kre-Alkalyn because I don't get bloating/indigestion from it. There aren't any other side effects.
4. Just stop taking it for a month or 2
5. Yes

anyone had any experiences on weight vests? is it worth it

Agreed on all points. Ive had good experiences with a typical GNC monohydrate. Theyre all basically the same thing.
Remember to take it with a form of sugar.

I never had a bad experience with them and I've used them for about 7+ years now. I don't do any weightlifting with the vest on but I do play basketball, run sprints, ect with it on.

Dope. Just another couple questions
- Can I take it with Dextrose or is there a better form of sugar to take it with
- Do I take creatine pre workout or post workout or does it even matter?

^ thanks, Im just trying to add some variety besides nutrition/protein bars. Every time I hit the store, I'm clueless on what I need and end up with junk.

Look up V-max or X-vest. They're known to be high quality weight vests. Check up on craigslist, you might find a good, cheaper one on there. I know in my area there's a guy selling a V-max for $50 below new, and it hasn't been worn much according to him. If I wanted one, I'd get that one. I've heard that the cheaper brands tend to break more often than the higher quality, more expensive ones. Depending on the amount of weight that you want, expect to pay somewhere near $200 for a 50 lb weight vest that will last you.

after doing rippetoe's 3x5 for a couple of months (before being sidelined for 2.5 weeks by a nasty neck injury)... i decided to try and mesh some of the strength building principles (especially since they gave me huge quads) with a hybrid body building split. i also wanted to emphasize calf work.
thoughts, suggestions? i did day 1 yesterday, felt good... maybe a little bit long. doing day 2 today which on the face of things is very short,but this way i get to really focus on my dl.

Hah man I was in heaven, ribs and bbq all weekend lol. But I did get a few gym sessions in.
it's going to be hard this week with dead/finals week and then friday is my 21er so it'll be another hectic weekend
but suns out so it's time to do cardio... I've been getting bigger since the last time i posted progress pictures
i just need to start evening out... right shoulder>left because its my shooting arm.... and my right lat is wider than my left -___-
i've come to the conclusion that i'm one of those guys that'll develop huge arms and shoulders and back... but small chest it sucks lol
