Breaking down on Starting Strength Hi Dave, I might have screwed it up around that time. My waistline increased more than what seemed healthy :-( For a month or so I ate less carbs, tried to keep protein same and tried not to add weight on any exercise. I actually lost that belly fat don't know how/why there was no reduction in weight though. I Later tried to increase calories and move to a normal program. Before I tried the normal program I reduced all lifts by 10 pounds to give myself a week to catch up. I think I started failing from them on. Worst is I even look less strong even though I have gained 5 pounds. |

Breaking down on Starting Strength @Affe : My pain is very low. Close to the lower Traps I don't think Scalene stretches can help. |

Breaking down on Starting Strength I think it was tireness more than soreness. I missed Squat completely some times, never consecutively though. I started at 168lbs body weight. I have never missed a rep on any set may be the 5th rep on the 5th set once in a while but I do 1 rep later if I missed it just to keep myself happy. Also I might have missed 1 workout in some weeks, I always did 2 no matter what. I started off light on most lifts that was close to 7-8 months ago increasing the weight once a week rather than every workout, I made good progress close to 6 months and then wanted to cut some fat. |

Breaking down on Starting Strength Erratic food habits is mostly because my job requires going around and meeting people during the day and some times I can not eat for a few hours even though I feel very hungry and than I try to make up for the lost calories in the next meal. I feel hunger is a worse thing while you are training. I added barbell rows because my back lacks the thickness and I have very little middle back, I thought this could help. To improve recovery I tried doing Squats twice a week but I noticed something strange. I could work out well but the soreness would come the 2nd or 3rd day on the legs. |

Breaking down on Starting Strength Hi Dave, I have good form on Squats and Deadlifts, I do these in front of the mirror. I try to notice the form some times not all the time. I know Rippetoe suggests not to look in the mirror. I have the book, I have read it once if you have any particular sections to revisit I can do that though I never read the book 2nd time because I found it too informative. I have not really deloaded in the real sense but some times when I struggled with existing weights I brought the numbers down by 5-10 pounds on that lift to keep things going for a while. |

I seem to lose muscle size quickly if not working out for some time. Why? Good answer but I think the loss of hypertrophy as mentioned by Berin is more in novices than in advanced BB. Some advanced BB can go on without any loss of hypertrophy if they are still on a good diet. Though I don't have a scientific background on this but in real life I have seen this to be true for a number of novice or intermediate BB. |

Gyming does not add bulk to my body, it only puts my body into good shape @Moses : +1. I agree. There are some body parts which are left behind on this Program. I sometimes feel that even for chest development more is desired than one can achieve on SS but than it is only for strength :-) |

Gyming does not add bulk to my body, it only puts my body into good shape @Moses : I agree with what Kate says but your last comment basically means you wont gain mass on SS :-( I wouldn't agree with that mate.. I have myself put on Pounds and pounds of lean mass with the same program however I do agree that the body might not be cut like a BB since it is mostly a Strength program but you can improve muscle size with it. |

Gyming does not add bulk to my body, it only puts my body into good shape @Moses : Rippetoe himself suggests to do some supplementary stuff if you have to. however the premise is that additional exercises should not interfere with the basic ones in the program. |

What is a good and tested body building programs for a beginner? Hmm.. thinking about editing it.. some how looks ok to me.. I mentioned I would like to see reputable programs and not tailor made programs by anyone. Let me see if I can further improve the question. Thanks for your suggestion :-) |
