OT Workout Gurus: Scruffy needs some help

take a week off. Drop the weights a little. Restart. See from there.

Add dips and pull-ups

I don't like deadlift for one.

bad Scruffy

My form is probably bad. I just don't like the strain on my back.

Have you tried deadlifts with a hex bar?

A bit of both I guess.

Good advice because Scruffy doesn't need to stop doing deads. Scruffy needs to check his form too because it may be shite.

Done it before. I like it more, but they don't have one at my gym.

I figure my form is shite.

Third Person: On [Off]

I've been doing Stronglifts for about 4-5 months now and I would like to branch out.

I liked Stronglifts because it laid out everything that I had to do, including weight.

I just feel that I've hit the peak as far as what I can get out of it.

Looking for some advice.

Thanks.

I know some people think its a cult but this 41 year old thinks that cross fit is far and away the very best workout you can get and will serve you well until the day you die. Standard weight training philosophy as promoted throughout the last 40 years was designed by people like Arnold who were consuming massive amounts of steroids. The body was not designed to exercise while seated or lying down and isolation exercises are completely counter intuitive to the human anatomy.

Not saying cross fit is the only way but for someone who is just starting out it is the best way. I've been working with weights since I was 14 by the way. I'm totally ripped as you can imagine...but please don't.
