[Smolovicus]

Just mean how many reps at what number of sets? Are you following a certain routine or just lift by feel? My pc is literally half of your weight , but I'm progressing on triples at 5lbs a week right now with a singe I can do around 225lb
.
If you can't get a weight, you evaluate your biggest technique issue, maybe hit some sets at a lower weight to drill in the subsequent correction, then try again next time. In a sport so technical as weightlifting, there isn't a simple set/rep scheme you can use to achieve progress. It relies on proper positioning, technique, mental cues and then strength.

[fraverdenstreet]

what smolov said ^

today was my 4th day in a row of training, and i've done snatch and clean pulls the past 2 days so im dead (my weakest point). i still managed to snatch 115 for 4-5 doubles fairly well and then 2 cleans + 1 jerk up to 140. felt really good for being so worn out and tired

[fraverdenstreet]

worked up to cleaning 140 for 5 doubles off blocks (i suck ass at blocks cuz my back is weak as fark), then i went to do 2 FS + 1 jerk and this blister right in the palm of my hand bothered me so much i went home. my saturday workouts are without my coach anyway

dude I ripped a callous on my left hand that made it hurt to jerk today, worked up to 135 and said **** that, lol. ****ty

Dude, I was thinking about you the other day (no homo, uhh) when I was watching some clips from the 08 olympics. It to Steiner 3 years to acquire German citizenship and be able to compete internationally for them. So get on that **** soon, it would suck if you waited until your numbers were like there, but then didn't get to compete for America Jr, I mean Canada

i know you think of me often
and i've thought about that too lol. i've began the process actually :) just waiting for my criminal check to come back from the FBI so i can send paperwork in
you know you want to live here

[fraverdenstreet]

snatch - 60x2, 80x2, 95, 115, 115, 120, 120, 125, 125, 130, 115, 115, 115
power jerk fra rack - 60x2, 80x2, 100x2, 110, 120, 130, 130, 130, 130
snatch pulls - 100x4, 110x4, 120x4, 130x4, 120 3x4

i suck at pulls
first time going to 90% on snatch, nailed it very nicely. he said it was better than my 120/125 lifts. i also feel like im using my whole body cohesively. easiest 130 i've ever done (and w/o straps ;) ) definitely good for 145 at my comp in october. my bodyweight is still hovering a bit below 94. mostly 92kgs, some days 94

Just curious, which country do you want to lift for? I'm pretty sure I read that it was Canada but didn't you say you wanted Norway? Forgive me for not lurking far enough lol

[fraverdenstreet]

Just curious, which country do you want to lift for? I'm pretty sure I read that it was Canada but didn't you say you wanted Norway? Forgive me for not lurking far enough lol

haha, i'm going to lift for Canada. i'd love to lift for Norway but i dont have and contacts and resources to move there and start up. i was already in contact with a coach here that i met a few years ago, and my wife's family lives here, so i'm good to go
p.s. i just ordered a red adidas clubline singlet. dont b mad. dnt b jealous when u c me struttin on the platform in all red
i got it because akkaev has a clubline

[xRequiem]

Know you don't care about DLs but what is your max on DLs? 200kg or more?

[fraverdenstreet]

Know you don't care about DLs but what is your max on DLs? 200kg or more?
most i've ever DL'ed in my life is 185kgs @ 94 bw
picking weight up off the ground is a huge weak point for me. hence why my coach is having me do snatch and clean pulls

[Rusty56]

/In for pics of red singlet
*hopes its assless

[fraverdenstreet]

i hope it is too hehe

today was a **** day, but i did good considering my erectors felt like they were going to snap in half due to the snatch pulls from yesterday

snatch - up to 100x2, 100x2, 110 4x2
hang clean up to 115 5x3
backsquat up to 150 5x4

it's good , because an "off day" before meant me not even snatching 100 for a single. today i do 110 for multiple double. horosho

[fraverdenstreet]

extremely light day. i cj pretty heavy tomorrow

powerclean - up to 130 for 4 doubles or something
1 FS + 1 jerk from rack - up to 120 for 4-5 sets
clean pulls up to 150 for triple

[Randoja]

Good couple sessions bro even if you weren't totally feeling it yesterday. In 4 c&j.

[fraverdenstreet]

he'll probably have me work up to a few singles w/ 155 or 160
next week theres a mock comp day tho hehe
my body hurts right now. stupid pulls

[Smolovicus]

i'm so phuckin excited for you man. looking at all this volume I just feel like you're developing a monstrous foundation of consistency, which will launch you to phucking crazy numbers once you settle on in. kill it at your mock meet.

[schabowy90]

In4 190/155 on mock day :D

[fraverdenstreet]

In4 190/155 on mock day :D

LOl idk. the mock day is in the middle of the training week :( it's not supposed to be a true true max day. i hope i go 150/190 at my meet in october. actually id be pretty stoked if i cj'ed 182 to break the 400lb barrier

[fraverdenstreet]

hly **** my back felt so bad today
hang snatch - 60x2, 70x2, 80x2, 90x2, 100, 100 (warmup)
cj - 100x2, 115x2, 125x2, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150x on jerk, 150, 155x on jerk, 160x on jerk

i passed out like three times today. the first 150, then cam eback and got 150. then after the clean again on 155. waited for my coach to leave so i could try more. put on 160 and blacked out again after the clean. just ****ing exhausted. thursdays always suck cuz its my fourth day training in a row. but if i can clean 160 while feeling like a piece of ****, that's fine with me. my jerk technique was total **** today also, and when i got heavier, i didnt finish my pulls. no focus
honestly feels like i could powerclean 160 if i was fresh tho. and feels like i could clean & jerk 185-190 if super fresh and full of zest also

[Randoja]

didnt miss a single snatch today and only walked forward a couple steps on 2 reps, also power snatched very first rep

[WHT_LIGHTNING]

very strong bulge

solid snatching too

where did you order that singlet from?

[fraverdenstreet]

Guy Greavette's website, he's based out of British Columbia here in Canada = no stupid shipping from USA for me ;) only 45 bux + shipping + tax. i love it, fits awesome. since youre my size, if you order one fyi, XL is perfect size. i got it cuz akkaev lifts in a blue clubline, and klokov wears red, so i combined their powers and got a red clubline hehe

It's because they're closet homosexuals who are attracted to you on the inside, but need to vent with a false sense of self because they are so insecure.


nomsayin brah? I love those vids. Do you have all your training **** back at your old home or is it with you?

your phucking living room brah

[fraverdenstreet]

your phucking living room brah

i would but it's my in-laws house ;) they have a garage but it has a noticeable decline. i tried to build a platform once and it wouldnt fkn work out at all

[fraverdenstreet]

2 powerclean + 1 full clean - up to 130, 135, 140, 140 hehe. pretty fkn good to do this w/ 140
high pulls up to 150x3, 160 5x2, 170x2
fast FS 120 6x5

the first time i ever really did clean pulls was 2 months ago. i struggled to do 140 x 3. each rep was a grinder. today i do 170x2 pretty fast. nice bbz

[scarboro]

You mind going over how your coach taught you to do the pulls? Like the cues etc?

[fraverdenstreet]

You mind going over how your coach taught you to do the pulls? Like the cues etc?

start with the bar one finger's space from the shins, ass up, loose arms, full lung breath, pull the bar straight up in a controlled way until the first 1/3 of the thighs, execute the extension (exactly vertical) and the pull should end at the 2/3 mark of the thighs
he always says to use all your muscles at once, not separately, and "it increase your force". i have a bad habit of never using my traps which i'm fixing. i had a bad habit of taking my shoulders backwards at the extension but i've fixed it already (they go vertical up now). just normal stuff. keep bar close, make your legs and back work together, acceleration at the proper time, etc
oh yes, one of the most frequent things he tells people is to cover the bar more (with your shoulders, you know)

[Rusty56]

this is why we need vids frav! that description sounded like some kinda weird romanian deadlift with a bar phucking at the end kinda thing to me (but i'm horrible with written explanations). If you can find it in your heart to get a vid of those pulls i'd appreciate it cuz I feel like clean pulls would help me out alot but i don't think i'm really doing them right.

By the way i've been meaning to ask you if you are a triple extension guy now or you still think catapult style is better? your coach has you doing more triple extension right?

I had this video in mind reading that.
Ilya is exactly vertical like that in such a 'synergistic' manner.
F1o13d5znr8

[fraverdenstreet]

yep, notice how ilya's feet don't go backwards or forwards, just exactly out to side. it's cuz he is very vertical. and yes, i am attempting to be triple extension, except i hardly use my traps still out of habit lol.

[fraverdenstreet]

powersnatch up to 100 4x3 and 105 2x3
jerk fra rack up to 120 and 130 for a few singles
clean off blocks up to 120 like 6x2 or something

[thezachinator]

How's the lifting going brah? Lost internet for a while. I see you haven't been posting vids :( I feel like getting the internet back was a waste. lulz

[fraverdenstreet]

it's going okay i guess. i have no idea what my 1rms are because i rarely even go above 90% , but my work capacity is triple what it used to be.

snatch up to 110x2, 115 5x2
powerclean up to 130x2, 135x2, 135x2, 135x2, 140x2, 140x2 or something
snatch pull (holy **** i hate these) up to 120x4, 130x4, 135x4, 135x4, 140x4, 140x4
fs up to 120x3, 130x3, 135x3, 135x3, 140x4

funny, cuz i started under this coach struggling to snatch pull 100x4. now i'm at 140x4 heh.... also, i fkn lost 3kgs bw from this workout. that has to be unhealthy. a lot of water weight i guess. started at 95.5, ended at 92. feel run down

[fraverdenstreet]

idk how im alive after yesterday, or how ill be alive tomorrow

power snatch up to 90x3, 100 5x3
hang clean up to 120 5x2
clean pulls up to 150x3, 160x2, 170x2, 160x2 fk i suck ass at pulls. how do i clean and jerk 170 but hardly clean pull it
backsquat up to 140 4x3 fast
push press up to 100x3, 110x3, 120x3

my new uneven grip is fkn wonderful for weight going above my head. push presses and catching snatches felt glorious. my right elbow no longer feels like buckling

[fraverdenstreet]

**** its almost 6am and i havent slept yet (normal bedtime is midnight). i hate my life

[Smolovicus]

i'm up too brah... been staying up till 5am every night for the past week or two... don't know why. just makes me feel like chit the following day cause I wake up at 1-3pm, still exhausted. I'm so stupid, no reason to stay up this late.

My curiosity drove me to do that earlier haha

[fraverdenstreet]

i ended up falling asleep at 930am and sleeping until 1130. fok. deepest fkn REM sleep ever though. i didnt do this on purpose, i usually have 1-2 insomnia days a week and i srsly feel like killing myself because i cant fall asleep, but last night was extra bad
fraverdenstreet = fra verdenstreet = from the world tree (in norwegian, reference to norse mythology)
ugjennomtrengelig mørke = impenetrable darkness (reference to how it seems like im always in the "dark times" cuz i push myself too hard too often and feel like death)

[fraverdenstreet]

power snatch - up to 90x2, 100x2, 105 5x2 (straps cuz hands r ripped)
front squat up to 100x3, 120x3, 120x3, 130 4x3 ez
c&j for technique up to 120 6x1. felt like i was doing the bar. i adopted ilya ilins style of limited prep and it works well... atleast at this weight lol.

[Randoja]

Good stuff buddy, getting kinda tired of your hands ripping though, for you I mean. I hate that sh!t sooo much, it's so irritating all day long. I had a gnarly split between my palm and middle finger for like a a whole month once. Just kept opening. It was right where hand stops and finger starts. Glad to see 120 going up no prob feeling like just the bar lol.

you ever superglue em? Better than any band-aid and far more toxic lol. I like to use it when I have something that just wont stay closed. I hear you on all the training that has to be rough as hell.

ah it's easy bro. i wasnt able to for a long time because of the military (forced to run 8 miles every morning and ****, it was difficult). just start adding an extra day on saturday that's pretty light, then the next week make it heavier, then add an extra day on tuesday but make it light, next week make it heavier. bam. in like a month you are lifting 5x/week. or you can do what i did and just go balls out and train heavy 5x/week, but i normally dont give that advice to people

[huntito]

Nice, thanks for the advice. I need to do a lot of mobility work still, so I could throw that in there as well (maybe some bro curls too lmao).

I'll try it out this weekend

[schabowy90]

bro I was watching some of your old videos yesterday, like the 165, 171 Xjerk. I hadn't watched that many previously because I subbed to this when you were close to moving.

pretty inspring bro keep it up. srs. I guess it's one thing to read the lifts but then to see a 170 CJ is pretty awesome.

Also keep it up I was looking at the 94kg totals....you could crack in to those bottom 10 for 2016 man. Just to be privileged enough to attend the Olys and represent Canada would be awesome. jelly

pretty inspring bro keep it up. srs. I guess it's one thing to read the lifts but then to see a 170 CJ is pretty awesome.

Also keep it up I was looking at the 94kg totals....you could crack in to those bottom 10 for 2016 man. Just to be privileged enough to attend the Olys and represent Canada would be awesome. jelly

yeah i think so too :) it's what i'm aiming for. if i'm a canadian citizen by then anyway. i'll be a 105 though. my coach says i should be at 180/210 atleast, which is enough to get me there even as a 105. just to go would be a privilege

390 total as a 105 would most likely get you into the A session too, which would even be sweeter

ah of course lol. Unfortunately I don't know that feel :(
was considering OCS after undergrad, but going to grad school slowly replaced that idea after I took a few upper divisions.

Thank you both for your service. My parents met during their time in the Air Force, so I grew up with a sh*t ton of respect for the military and people in it

[JiP]

Hows the knee feeling man.. i know your pain.. literally

[fraverdenstreet]

Hows the knee feeling man.. i know your pain.. literally

it's better already hehehehe. here's all the things my coach told me to do, if it helps:
1) before training, electro stimulation and heat cream **** w/e
2) after trening, electricity and massage, go home and generously apply heat cream to your knees then wrap them up in plastic wrap to trap the heat, leave on for 1-2 hours

[JiP]

Yeah i dont own a fancy electro device.. I just lick a lightswitch and hope I get shocked into happiness

And I cream my knees with the wonderful world of semen... It's smooth and fulfilling

"finally did my first meet eheh.. ill just copy/paste what i put on my youtube vid description

snatch - 125/130/134x
cj - 157 (not shown), 161, 164x
bw 92.5

broke provincial record for clean and jerk and total, best senior male lifter

knee wrap popped off after my 164 clean, kinda fked my jerk up. oh well, next time

i was an idiot and pretty much starved/dehydrated myself the night before cuz i was afraid of not making weight. then i was a whole 1kg under my target weight. mfw when i felt like a frail nothing .. for nothing. good learning experience i got a cool plaque

btw my coach is phenomenal. i would've been so lost without him. even though the lifts i made are 10kgs under my all time pr's, i'm still extremely happy and satisfied"

Yo do you have a set weight to hit when you squat or is just use a heavy weight for lots of triples/doubles... tell me

[schabowy90]

that old guy in the beginning was pretty fast for the gray hair haha. a bit weak standing up.

your quads look massive in that vid gjdm. wat is ic3, 2, etc?

[thezachinator]

^ He's not lying.. Your quads look huge. haha Congrats on the comp... Mirin so hard.

[fraverdenstreet]

today was just ****ed, i want to die
i had to get some blood drawn for immigration papers = no fkn energy at all. then i took a nap right before my lifting session and slept in too late, so i had to rush before the gym closed to complete my workout. still basically asleep during my session. + my back was ****ed hardcore + no energy cuz no blood. yes i'm a whiner

[fraverdenstreet]

that old guy in the beginning was pretty fast for the gray hair haha. a bit weak standing up.

international class 3, it's a lifter ranking. it means i qualify to compete outside of the country

[fraverdenstreet]

Yo do you have a set weight to hit when you squat or is just use a heavy weight for lots of triples/doubles... tell me

it's a set weight, often less than even 80%. but that's cuz he's just maintaining my squat power and giving more energy to strengthen my back cuz it sucks

[fraverdenstreet]

my back is fked. there's a chiro who goes to my training facility and he took a quick glance at me and gave me his biznizz card. said my lower back was pretty fked, but he can fix it with an alignment most likely. i snatched 110 for 4x2 in agony then pretty much had to quit

[Jyppe]

Hello! :)

I've been following your journal & videos for sometime now and I must say that they are very motivating. I myself have been training olympic lifts for on/off about 3 years.
