clean and jerk - 138, 140, 142
front squat - 165kgs 3x1

comments: not happy at all with my jerks. they sucked. i couldn't commit well. front squats were surprisingly easy.

[gewaltiger]

eh. very lethargic day.

snatch - 109 2 singles. was supposed to get 4 singles in either 2x2 or 4x1.

called it a day. no focus, no nothing. had a personal issue bugging me and also my chronic shin splints acted up and screwed my squat-movement up.

[slytheslayer]

Damn man, you make it look so easy! Keep up the good work!

[gewaltiger]

thanks bro i try

[gewaltiger]

clean and jerk - 133kgs 7x1 (missed 2 jerks out of the 7)
front squat - 158x2, 158 miss (dizzy spell), 155 4x2

comment: was supposed to get 5 singles of 133 so i did two extra reps of c+J making the jerk to reach that goal. had dizzy spells again on squats, i've had them all week. might be a problem in my diet

[slytheslayer]

that looks like a pretty serious workout bro!! Dont think i could do that! Where is your workout spot, at home in the garage? I also love how you just throw the weight down like F you after your done!! Awesome job man!!

[gewaltiger]

i work out in my father-in-law's business's garage lol. i bought everything then the ceiling in the garage at my house was like one inch too low stupid drop-down ceiling in the garage. + the garage floor here was slanted

[gewaltiger]

snatch - 108kgs 3x1
clean - 135kgs 3x1
jerk from the rack - 115kgs 3x1

comment: pretty lightish day, i have to max out tuesday. good thing everybody in my house is sick...

[JiP]

Your logs are always awesome. Straightforward lifting + vids = win

[shifter2012]

great log dude.

[gewaltiger]

thanks guys appreciate it.

today was supposed to be a mock competition day. yay for being surrounded by sick people

snatch - worked up to 120kgs (strapless PR )

after this i sucked with dizzy spells big time

clean and jerk - worked up to 145 clean and jerk.. which is nothing to me really.. then cleaned 151 and totally bombed the jerk.
front squat - failed 172 .. dizziness

comment: happy with snatch. barely missed 126 after that 120. got dizzy just on the first pull of all my cleans, it was terrible. i dont know how i cleaned 151. the vids arent even worth posting (except my snatch). almost passed out coming out of the hole of the 172 FS. sucks man. i'm going to take some maintenance days and let all the sickness around me disappear for about a week, then max out again. so look forward to some boring 2-3 workouts hehe.

vid when youtube maintenance is done...

[LegosInMyEgos]

whats the most you have cleaned but not jerked?

[gewaltiger]

i almost cleaned 160 but dropped it when i had about 2 inches left to push my hips through. stupid. there was ridiculous power on that lift too like i mentioned in your log. i have a big mental barrier with it.
i think i've cleaned 157, i cant remember. it's the clean and JERK that counts to me

[gewaltiger]

the 120 snatch:

[adoboandryce]

subbed. also just subbed to your youtube channel. awesome lifts, man.

i hope to be a 94kg someday. my diet sucks and it's been a real challenge getting my weight down there.

i seem to be stuck at 96-97kgs lol. im sure i could get it down the last bit before a comp though. i hardly try to diet

on a bit of a hiatus. just moved to Michigan from Calgary. i had an 18 hour flight day yesterday. and guess what? my canadian card didnt work anywhere. so i literally went a whole day without eating. i exchanged a 5 dollar euro i had in my wallet to get 6 bux and bought one 20g protein bar. airports are expensive.
while i wait for my weights to ship here, for the next 2 weeks ill be doing random workouts. probably going to start benching (no arch, clean/jerk grip, feet on bench) and push pressing. my arms feel sooo weak.

[gewaltiger]

dont have my eleiko equipment shipped here yet, so i a little maintenance

snatch - 100kgs 2x2, 1x3
backsquat - 162kgs 3x2
bench (feet up on bench, clean/jerk grip) - 100kgs 7x2, 1x3
few sets of ohp with 60kgs

first time doing a bench workout in over 3 years. arms were incredibly shaky lol. weird how i can jerk 100lbs more than that eh?

[gewaltiger]

having been able to have very conventional workouts. still waiting for my eleiko set to get here. 2 days ago i worked up to snatching 265lbs pretty easy. benched a little here and there.

cleans - 313lbs, 333lbs
backsquats - 403lbs x 2, 423lbs x 1

comment: i'm sick. this morning i coughed up a huge glob of mucus. sick. surprised i worked up to such heavy %'s.

[gewaltiger]

snatch - 245lbs x 3
clean - worked up to 308lbs x 1
front squat - worked up to 360lbs x 1

[gewaltiger]

still waiting for my eleiko set to arrive, my lifting situation has sucked ass. i havent had a serious workout for the past 3 weeks until today, and weird enough, 15lbs lighter than the last time i did these lifts, i had a doubles PR on snatch and still hit 2x bodyweight backsquat for a double. hehe

snatch - 100kgsx2, 111kgsx2, 120kgsx2
backsquat - work up to 403lbsx2



edit* i weigh 200lbs, down from 215 when i was in Calgary 3 weeks ago

i guessed you tapered for three weeks. good stuff

[gewaltiger]

i guessed you tapered for three weeks. good stuff

not really haha. i worked out like twice a week the past 3 weeks, and didnt do so well. mostly did 100 for 3x3 snatches, 140 for 3x1 cleans, a few 160 single FS's. i dont know how i did so good today haha. i cant jerk yet or clean how i want to until my eleiko set gets here. i only have 6 20kg bumpers right now.
also, for log purpose, my diet is very restricted. i drink a little under a gallon of milk per day, 4 chicken breasts per day, one can of tuna, 2 25g protein shakes. thats about it k. thats my diet.
