Lunges help
I'll send you a pic
Yeah lunges are a part of my workout. Just BW right now. All the stabilizing muscles freaked out on me when I did them last time.
Yeah. Lunges reveal bad form right away ...
You know the story ... keep the pelvic girdle/hips forward and straight ... try to keep a neutral spine, and keep your core tight like you're ready to take a punch from some huge, scary guy in the gym because you just did his girlfriend (although she forgot to tell you she was dating this guy)
Just kidding. The point is, keep your core tight.
Whenever I'm doing any exercise, I keep my core tight because I swear it gives you the ability to push more weight ...

it does...it gives better transfer of force through your body.

I was just curious. That's all.
Oh ok. Any suggestions you might have?
I'm always suggesting Defranco's Westside for Skinny Bastards III. He has a 2, 3, and 4 day template that's very structured. Once you've spent a yearish on that, move onto Wendler's 5/3/1 template. Defranco's template you can get for free. Chillen has the direct link if he has to happen upon your thread. Or you can google it very easily and download it.
Nutrition is geared towards weight loss, not training. It's geared towards building a foundation for weak ass noobs like you and me. ^_^
Seeking clarification is rarely a mistake, imo.
Ftr, I really enjoy that program. Currently doing something different for sets and reps (due to my being a crazy person), but is good.
Edit: Another solid beginner routine I can recommend is Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength. Good book, too. But you might not feel like it's enough volume given what you're currently doing. You would be wrong, but at this stage of the game consistency is more important than doing it right, imo.
