I can't believe the bad luck I've been having since 2014 started. To begin, the gym went and closed for the Holidays and didn't reopen until Jan 2nd, by then I pretty much needed to drop from like a 220lb squat back below 200, but I've once again been struggling to go further since.
This Monday, I squatted 5x5 for 205lbs with success, and today, I was supposed to go and do the same for 210lbs, but then stupid me wakes up with a sore ass and thigh. I'm walking like a ringwraith. There goes my plan to squat 215 Friday...
Gosh damn, Spring Break is getting closer and closer.

Tomorrow is when I do 225lb (which is with two 45lbs on each side) Squat for 5x5. I did one set yesterday at the end of my workout and it was a synch. I've learned there is a difference between something being Heavy, and something being a Challenge.
It's funny how I only talk about my workout regime on my Facebook, and of all this, a Chris Forum. At least I get the feedback of the one and only, Hulk Hogan. (thanks Hulkster!

You gotta be careful with squats, they can severely fuck up your knees if youre not careful, I prefer the leg press x100000 times better

Yeah, once I get my squat to something like 250lbs, I'm gonna drop a few pounds off to work on form, so you don't fuck up your knees by not using all your leg muscles properly.
Squatting for me is pretty hard, its not that I'm not tall, its that I'm loooong.
Why is this part of the forum called Hulkamania? Shouldn't it be called Suckamania?

New Squat personal record: 240 Lbs 
Every 25 lbs or so, I stall on it, but usually manage to break that. My main problem is still under eating. The main reason I've been skinny my whole life is because I'm so against sauces and seasonings. Only butter and salt, thats what I want on my food. No black pepper, no ketchup, no mustard, if it started out as a solid, but is now a liquid or powder, I probably won't like it.
Lately I've gotten over my fear of sandwiches though, and thats good because those really fill you.
Milk is STILL too expensive where I live though, and an excess of that would really help me.

You thinking of trying the GOMAD?
I can't, either way. Here in the Bahamas, my government has a whole bunch of taxes on dairy products, so this brings the price of milk up to like $7.50 a gallon on average. I just cannot afford that, even if the thing is meant to last only one month.
Been taking ideas from these guys on weight gain recipes.

They really appeal to people like me who have such ridiculous sweet tooths. I'm working on their "1 Ingredient Ice Cream" tonight, and later in the week when I get some money, I'll try their "Healthy Chicken Nugget" recipe.
In other weight lifting news, I decided to freeze on the Squats for awhile because my Deadlift number is really stalling and I don't want my Squat max to go past my DL max.
3 months left!

Peppy?
Do a barrel roll?
What are your 1RM's for squat and DL? I find that I stall far harder and far more frequently with squats than deads. My highest ever squat max for a single rep was about 100kg, and I'm nowhere near touching that now, but deadlift didn't even really start tapering off and plateauing until I hit about 130kg.
I struggle with good weight gainer recipes as I'm vegan, and really don't care for sweet foods. Peanut butter is my friend!
Well, I don't understand "1RM" (yet 
) but my maxes for them are Squat 255lbs and Deadlift, 260lbs. I just have a lot of trouble timing my workouts right, since I'm usually pressed to be on the 9:00AM Ferry so I can get to work. I can't really go in the afternoon, the gym is far too crowded, noisy and I usually don't have any energy by that time of the day its simply not worth it for me to go in the afternoon.
If I get to the gym at 8:00AM, I usually can do everything, but I am such a bad morning person, waking up is hard for me to do.

I heard that. I can never lift in the morning. I'd hurt myself. I don't actually wake up until I've been up and about for an hour.
That's a pretty impressive squat! What's your height/weight?
Heh, knowing what a lot of others have squatted (and there are the fair share), I don't feel 255lbs is that impressive, but thanks for the nice words!
Has for my height, 6'3 and my weight is roughly 160lbs. As I said, I got a little problem eating (due to my job, I can't eat for like 5 hours or so since I work in a restaurant), but lately I've been eating down sandwiches when I have the time to eat them.

I think while it's good to have people who inspire you, it's ultimately not constructive to compare yourself to others. My friend barely lifts, but because he's always been a heavier build, has far stronger legs than I do. He out-squats me fairly regularly. I smash him on bench though. It's about aspiring to be the strongest you can be. As corny as that sounds.
Your totals sound good, dude, and lifting communities far too often resort to 'do you even lift brah' gain-shaming and it's not constructive. Everyone should be proud of their accomplishments.
On a new topic, any lifters here do any serious grip training? I closed my COC number 2 for the first time last week!
