New to lifting, and confused about a few things with the SL 5x5 program.
>am I supposed to include the warmup sets with the bar in the 5x5, or do I do the 5x5 with my max weight?
>how the actual fuck do I force myself to eat 3000 kcal a day? I'm a few weeks deep, and I can barely reach 2500 kcal without wanting to puke
i read through the SL page and couldn't figure out the answers to these
>>
5x5 is your working sets, doesn't include warm up
peanut butter and milk

The 5x5 refers to the 5 sets at your working weight. This should be lower than your max weight, but don't include your warmup sets.
Eat calorie-dense foods like butter and ice cream if you're meeting your protein requirements

You're not supposed to include the warmup sets in the 5x5. These are your working sets, all done with the same weight.
