Agree with Captain Napalm: I'd listen to what they have to say, evaluate it against real world experience, use it if it makes sense, discard it if it doesn't - but I wouldn't waste my time arguing (and put that effort into something that is worth doing)...

I wouldn't take any chances - and skip the alcohol for tonight.... but, yes, alcohol metabolizes very quickly and 10-12 hours should be enough time.

all you can eat sushi buffet....

The new SS is based on the Australian Holden (just like the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP which is no longer in production).... the G8 GXP came with a 6.2 liter detuned LS-3 Corvette engine and put out 415 hp, like the new SS. Considering they will only sell 5000 per year, gotta assume pricing will be...

squats!

How long have you been injured, and how did you hurt it initially? Get it looked at and get it rehabbed - otherwise, you risk long term permanent damage.

All you can eat sushi buffet.... typical "after legs" meal....

AIDS, gonorrhea, herpes and 18 years of child support all suck worse than condom sex....

it's working now... 4:30pm eastern time.

I am now training at a commercial gym (close to my house) and frankly, I am appalled at how few people in that gym actually train legs. Gym has one cage, one squat rack, one hack squat, two leg presses, and two smiths and they are almost always empty.. except for the two guys who chalk up...

Sub-Q..... never pinned HCG IM.

I do the same as Resolve... I set my range of motion with just a bar.... I go as low as I can and still maintain the arch in my back... work up to approximately 60% of my heaviest squat set... rep range is typically like 6-8... feet are nearly same position as squat... GM have added a lot of...

If you are concerned about forearms, quit using straps (if you are). Heavy pulls (rows, deads, etc) will help develop your grip strength and adding in hammer curls and pronated (reverse) curls should be enough for most lifters.

The other reason I train abs directly is due to the strength imbalance between the erectors and the abs. Heavy squats, deadlifts, romanians, good mornings, etc have strengthened my erectors to the point they were starting to change the natural alignment and curvature of my back. So, I have had...

Sushi and Sashimi.... eat it 2-3 times per week....

I train as best I can - just reduce the intensity because my body is already fighting to recover. Staying out of the gym is much harder mentally than going, and I believe that a light workout actually aids or facilitates recovery. Or so I tell myself, so I have an excuse to go train.

Lotta good suggestions above but first priority is rehabbing the back (develop a plan to address and strengthen the lower back). This also means strengthening your abs and obliques (pilates or other core strength program). Body weight squats should be done every workout, with a slow progression...

Use the knowledge gained to date, educate yourself further, make use of the expertise and collective knowledge on this site - and save some $$$.... you can learn to train effectively, and considering your trainer has little regard for your needs - fire him.

WTF.... some things just defy reason.

I typically use 5x5 on specific exercises (bench, barbell rows, squats, dead lifts) but not for ancillaries (like flys, side laterals, etc)... and I do them for 4 weeks and then switch up (like most of the people above)... sometimes I will go up to 5x3 for 1-2 weeks and then deload. Good tool...
