[ftwrestler]

I'll race u to it

what do you walk around at? cant be 172 from some of your other posts

also hit 5x3 on 320 on back squat first day squatting in 2.5 weeks (and supplement deprived )

not bad. i thought it would be worse especially with no creatine.

Finally full cleaned 100 for the first time since my hip joints began hurting a month ago. PR is 240 lb so 10 kg to a new, albeit small, pre-joint-pain PR! Hopefully I'll post 110 within a week or two. I have a really terrible habit, when the weight starts to get heavy I insist for psychological reasons on moving up in 2.5 kg increments, so after warming up I went 85, 87.5, 90, 92.5, 95, 97.5, 100. That's why there's a 15, 10, two 5s and two 2.5s.

One hand actually slipped off entirely when I caught it and was sliding off my shoulder as I stood up because it was caught too far forward. That's why it looked weird and ugly and upper back bent like an old woman and why was hard to stand up with and also why I didn't jerk.

When I FS 300 again I'll post a new video, hopefully soon since it's been extremely frustrating not being able to FS heavy for the last month. Then again at 330 again hopefully fairly soon.

it doesn't look like you have much if any hip extension on your cleans...are you feeling much of a bar brush?

I weighted 80kg for the meet. Probably 178-179lbs right now.

Currently on intermittent fasting / paleo ish diet to get back down to 76-77 steadily.

We're about the same weight. I was 77.5 at my meet few weekends ago. I'm sitting at 79 right now.

I accept your challenge to 136 C&J and raise you 115 snatch

This IF and paleo are no ****in joke.

do you carb cycle? i have been doing that and hovering between 160-165. I have not added in daily conditioning yet. SO that may be my answer to getting to 155.

I'm trying to limit the carbs period, with occasional fruit...I'm sure in a few days I'll feel the need to eat some carbs, so I'll probably include some rice or sweet potato then and some watermelon. So I'm kind of cycling...but its always low carb/no more than moderate on some rando days.

But I've started playing hockey again and have to walk a cumulative 1-2 miles a day for class/gym. def helps with the weight loss

**** that

I tend to stick to easy classes, lol

Cleaned 150 today (Cleaned 146 too, so 2 PRs in 1 sesh). **** still crashes a lot, but I am just focusing on whipping my elbows through violently, and so far so good.

[DaTruth1]

Thought we were having a multiple choice quiz in Pathology today, instead it was a 4 page double sided short answer. Failed so hard, left so many questions blank.

for those whove had heel heights of different heights, how have you noticed them affecting you?

i have tons of flexibility and im used to the 1" heel of the kanamas but the adipowers are only 0.75", howll that affect me/my lifts?

dafuq?!

Ill just stick to Ochem, physics and microbio this semester lol

[jb4476]

Oh yeah, that's right. School is starting for everyone in the US...except me, because we start on October 1st. Back a few years ago, before I came to Caltech, there were two 15 week semesters. Then they changed to three 10 week trimesters (technically we're on the quarter system because of summer quarter but there are no summer classes). The professors thought "hey, that's great! Now we have three terms instead of two". So they just crammed two semesters worth of material into two trimesters and increased the pace by a factor of 1.5 and added new content into the remaining term. It also means we start very late.

hang cleaned 100kg for a double

starting to come back from that break, but i have no bumper plates anymore

[schabowy90]

**** lightning that's sick. You just keep constantly improving. 150 is pretty ****in sick.

Did you know you had no chance at jerking it? Or we're u just doing cleans that day

It took me a couple weeks to get used to the lower heel on adidas (I had Kanama previously). Now I'm used to them and I'm hitting the same weights. I also think the lower heel has helped me use more p-chain and has really helped with the quad tendonitis

just cleans, did jerks prior. I really feel like I can jerk anything that I get to my shoulders right now. 150 is best my jerk, but like my cleans and snatches, it's all about if I hit the right positions, lol. My coach says I should (well not should, I mean I am still new, more like with my strength levels) be going like 130ish and 165ish, so I hope to continue to improve somewhat rapidly until I get at least close to those numbers.

Sick man!

What I'd give to be able to jerk.....

it's all cyclical with me, lol. Jerks have been going good, but cleans have been sucking. So now that I am starting to get the handle on cleans again, I am sure the jerk will start to suck, lol

Nice lifts Lightning, you're strong.

I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I played baseball this past summer (played in college and for 2 years professionally) in a local men's league and our season just ended, and as I'm a pitcher, I wasn't really able to train at all for the last 3 months or so. Needless to say it's tough getting back into it -- I'm feeling pretty weak. I'm going to focus on bringing up my overall strength over the next 3-4 months, and then re-evaluate where I'm at and if I want to focus solely on O-lifting. Right now I'm doing the lifts 2-3 times a week with general strength work mixed in on my other days (bench, press, rows, deadlift, etc.).

We'll see how it goes.

If you don't mind, what level of pro ball did you play? (I am a huge baseball junkie, but like a dumbass I quit playing in 10th grade. Once I had to actually work hard, I stopped. Football too. Still regret it. I think I could have at least played lower level college ball in either sport, but we will never know )

[Reidy]

I played for a year in Europe then last season I was with the Brockton Rox, an independent team in the Can-Am League which is more or less akin to Double A. A guy named Bill Buckner was my manager.

[DaTruth1]

Lifted with my coach today. Got some cues for power cleans and all of a sudden I was muscle cleaning 80kg and power cleaning 95 (pr clean 115). Feels good man, feels real good.

congrats on the pr bro, but what's the deal with your feet? It looks like your right foot stays completed planted and your left foot moves a little bit.

happens to me too. his left leg is probably longer than his right.

hmmm havent had quad issues but more p chain will help me strengthen my back again. well its free returns anyways so ill know how it feels when i wear them. 32-36% discount, hard to pass up
