Yeah just keep working at it! I never thought I would be able to even do one lol. I mostly do bicep curls and push ups so those help with doing chin ups. Once you can do chin ups though it's such a great workout. My arms and abs were really sore for a couple of days.

SCWolf - Can you post (I think you did in the past I just can't find it), the diet and lifting routing you did when you first starting bulking/putting on mass/etc. I'm finally gonna start lifting and bulking (I'm 6'2 160 lbs, lean in shape from sports) but want to get big and toned and your progress was very impressive so I think it would be a very good benchmark to start from.

Any other links or advice appreciated as well, there's so much info on the internet and I'm sure i'll find what works for me, but someone's opinion on a starting point or even a premade schedule for me would be immensely helpful.

thanks in advance

chris's programming was guided by NorthStrong who is completing a degree in exercise science, though I don't know if he varied from NS's recommendations

side note http://www.blogto.com/film/2012/06/c...er_in_toronto/ there is no way this dude is 200lb at 5'6", lol. Arnold's olympia weight was fucking 235lb at 6'2" and 7% bf and this dude is 12% bf max. this dude is *not* that size I'm sorry. maybe 170-180lb at 5'6".

Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

I am extremely frustrated and demotivated at the moment. I feel like giving up on squats entirely or something. I just cannot get the form right.

Either I am leaning over too much, or not going deep enough, or my bar path isn't straight, or my knees are too close together, or my knees are too far apart, or they're not at the proper angles, or my knees are going out too far in front of my toes, or I'm not sitting back enough (and if I do, I feel like I am about to fall over), or my chest isn't up enough, or I lack ankle flexibility, or I lack hip mobility, or I'm using too much weight, or I'm not breaking at the hips properly, or I'm not maintaining the right posture coming up out of the hole, or I have too much buttwink, or I'm rounding my back at some random step, etc.

I tried box squats (more specifically, the bench) and for whatever reason I kept having the same problems.

In particular / in general, this forward-lean shit is making me furious. Any time I try to keep my chest up or sit back more, I come really close to falling back on my ass, and I know I am going to end up hurting myself if I keep trying that.

Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

Have you ever asked someone in person to help you with your form?
I've never struggled with squat form personally. But I've been doing them since 10th grade so there's that
