 comment Where did the idea that we should eat three times a day come from? Under what authority do most people follow this advice?
Questions need to have some connection to fitness, per the FAQ; this question needs to be oriented towards a fitness goal. i.e. Is eating three meals per day ideal for XYZ weight loss program.

 comment Trainer told me to do 5 sets of 5 deadlifts. Should I be worried?
+1 I think this is the heart of the OP's issue - differentiating the idea of warm-up vs work sets.

Good info +1. One thing I will suggest is that at the novice level, the OP probably isn't ready to be trying 1RMs just yet; his gains should come so fast that the 1RM will increase every workout, not to mention the neural adaptation to handle a heavier load.
