>>39364394
Good job OP. Mix up your routine with free weights and machines, they all have their benefits. Keep going and you'll make it

>>39364394
throw some cardio in there and some dieting and you'll be smashing gash in no time.

You lost me

>>39364626
think he means trap bar deadlifts

>>39364629
Yeah that's what I meant. I finally understand what rippetoe meant by saying that lifting works the whole body, I can feel it.

>>39364626

How did you cure your anxiety? I have it crazy right now, super sensitive and easily offended about everything.

>>39364799
I had anxiety of using the free weights because I found them and the people in that area of the gym intimidating. Now that I just manned up and grabbed a bar bell and stopped being a pussy about it I cured it.

>>39364810
what was intimidating about it?

>>39364922
I have bad social anxiety and I'm insecure, that's all it was.

>>39364929
why are you tripping? Please stop

What's this about not lifting in running shoes? Am I wrong for doing so? Not trolling, I'm just new to this shit.

>>39367760
They usually have a lot of padding in them and you'll wobble around. Next time I'm wearing my vans.

>>39367760
Soft soles and padding in the shoes diminishes your power delivery to the floor and make you actually need to put more effort into the same weight and makes it harder to balance.

Barefoot lifting all day all the way bro.

>>39367760
I never had any problem. I use my worn out shoes. If they work for you, keep wearing them.

>soft soles
What kind of faggot wears soft soles while running? Fix your form.

>>39364394
