This is a 6 part series (5 released, 6th should be this week) about nutrition. It's long in total, like 2 hours, but it's worth it if you can sit through listening to this guy. Should answer a lot of the questions people pose in this thread about nutrition and supplements though.

I don't have an ortho, nor do I even know how to get one through Kaiser's worthless system.
I'll need to prepare myself for the anal raping I'm going to get going out of plan. Fuck living my life right now.
Well, I'm finally back at the gym after over a year layoff. Had herniated 2 discs in my neck. It was fking brutal, slept on a lazy boy (bought for that reason) for 5 months. But in the end, work forced me to go home and sent me to The Canadian Back institute. They worked miracles compared to regular physio, my therapist actually never touched me once. Had me doing various exercises all around strengthening my deep neck flexors.
So now that I'm back i hope to fk that whatever caused this, i dont do again. Going to be doing the same as before, strength training, trying to add a few pounds. I believe that the injury was caused by military presses, so I wont be touching them. On that note, i have always struggled with my delts, so if anyone has some ideas for a hard gainer ecto, who will not be doing any barbell militatries, I'm all ears.

Scare me off? I'm not sure what that means. You're a douchebag so I put you on ignore. I just happened to click to view this post for some reason.

This sounds like exactly what I have been going through. I've had some debilitating neck pains that make it excrutiating to go from lying down to sitting up and sitting at a desk 10 hours+ a day I am sure isn't helping. I've been to my doctor, physical therapy, and a couple others but have put off going to a Chiro because I feel like they do more bad than good, but at any moment a sneeze could literally put me out of commission for days.

Been trying to do the squats every day routine that someone posted earlier. Been tough because I've been traveling. I did squats before, but, didn't really make it my goal to do them a lot. Went from 70lbs on the first day to 210lbs on the last day (yesterday). It's been a week. I increased the weight by 10-25lbs each day I do the squats. I'm definitely seeing a drastic increase in strength. My quads and ass are looking as delicious as ever and I love working my lower back.
Just got to get a good fucking diet going, gah. Healthy dieting sucks cause I love my donuts and oreos too much. :<

You gained 140 lbs on your squat in a week? I'm assuming you already had a squat closer to 200, so why'd you start at 70?
I also didn't really figure anyone would actually try that program. It's fucking insane. I'm definitely interested to hear how it progresses.

Like I said, I never really did squats before. I think the most I've ever done them before this program was 90lbs. But, I generally work my legs more than I work my upper body...so, I guess that could be why.
Reason I also started so low was because I wanted to make sure I started with good form. Was afraid if I went too high too quick, my form would be shot. I'll update again in a week to see if I can get to 300 in another week.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat.
I'm sure I could do it if I did lots of stretching and flexibility work (DDP Yoga maybe?) but I've never been a particularly flexible person by nature. Even if I just squat down to pick something up off the ground, for example, I don't go down that low.

I got up to 275 atg for 5x5, then I went to Florida and didn't do a single leg workout and... yeah.
Anyway, JUMPING ROPE. Or "skipping." TELL ME ALL THE BENEFITS. Every article or shit I read says keep it to 10-15 minutes. Why? Shit feels good, lower abs always feel a nice burn when I jump rope and a good amount of sweat all over my sexy body.
