More stuff to inspire women to join this forum, there's just not enough women here and I know that every attempt at this regime gets me way stronger than the standard gym formula.Especially more hints on increasing upper body strength to cope with chin ups etc, - they are so hard and I always fail but get stronger in the effort.

orrr.. for me it i would like something very simple. stuff that people would think i know but i don't. like i always go across the forum reading 400g protein, 20% fat in food etc. i have no idea what it means. i look at the label and i am clueless. so i jsut eat what i think is "right" and i still cant figure out completely how to cacluate how much protein/carbs/fat i am eating. so a little guide on reading labels ? since i am one of those spooiled college kid age 20 and never really step into the kitchen till i first started lifting, i have no idea how to measure food and stuff.

A blank training log so you could track your work out on paper. I know you have the log on digits, but also seeing a visual example would be helpful for the newbies who have never taken a pen and paper to the gym.

I love the program!!!

here is your mental training :

Voice 1 "We should just stop no one will notice"
Voice 2 "FUCK NAH BITCH"

You think that much?
I was thinking more of stuff like visualization(?), affirmations, positive thinking and such stuff

[Young Athlete]

Actually, I have gone deep into mental training, Meditation is good, I actually go to my own special sanctuary during class sometimes when i'm bored O.O. Mental training goes way deeper then you think. I have talked to professional athletes about it, and it's a bit crazy, some of the stuff i wish I could unlearn cause it's hard to control once you know it. Google it and research it, although some stuff needs to be stumbled upon with luck.

Hmm...i'd really like it if Mehdi would be able to put on some good protein sources in Indian food in the new version of the ebook.

I'm especially asking this because Indian diet is absolutely different from what's eaten in the rest of the world. It's very high in carbs and low in proteins.
For example, we don't have easy access to fish like tuna,sardines,salmon. Instead we have river fish like rohu,hilsa and some other fish whose English names i don't know unfortunately. And that too we eat it in a curry form, with rice and vegetables. There's no Indian meal without the rice and/or roti. Apart from this i eat chicken or lamb twice a week and dal(lentils) with every meal when i'm at home.

It would be really nice if Mehdi could profile the protein content of some Indian river fish along with lentils.

This really bugs me cuz i can't even list my daily diet and ask people to comment on it cuz i doubt many would be familiar with Indian foods and how conducive/not conducive they are to building muscle and losing fat.

And thanks a lot Mehdi...you've really started a small revolution on your own

I know it goes deep, but I go the other way. No thinking and it is so much better
Thinking is ok when you need to solve a problem, but use it and then stop. You should read Eckhart Tolle's book Power of now. It's awesome

Then why would you ask for a mentality section....

Then why would you ask for a mentality section....

To see if that would affect my performance, and if it does with how little/much?

Would like to see some programs for next steps after running through the advanced 5x5 stuff. And some tips on gaining again after stagnating. Maybe something about dealing with injuries.

[rossi]

How do you feel difference between soreness and injury (especially in the back).

[holvoetn]

Injury is when you really are limited in your movements.
Especially with the back it should be rather clear.

Soreness is just a funny feeling. It also hurts a bit, but it should not at all limit you in your ability to move.
