5/3/1 go!

In on conversion-to-O-lifter journal. I have recently been diagnosed with the same disease! Condolences OP but not really because they're hella fun.

Haha welcome to the randomness that is my journal.

I will have to sneak a peak at yours later after I devour some pulled pork.

How long you been O-Lifting for?

[shoefanatic23]

As many people have already stated, awesome job on those front squats!

Prepare to see two-digit numbers instead of three! Not quite two months now.

[Filmbuff81]

Thanks Beast! Gonna try and get some front skwats in tomorrow morning.

[Filmbuff81]

Haha well my numbers are nothing spectacular and it's all about Lear ing and even "light" Olympic lifts have lots of benefits just because of how explosive they are.

[Filmbuff81]

Everyone I know is getting really sick and I seem to just be hanging on and fighting stuff off. Still feeling really tired and rundown, making getting out of bed quite tough right now.

Trying to find energy for the gym tonight. If not it'll be tomorrow morning and I'll just be working on a 2 x week schedule for weights and try to just get some light cardio in here and there to increase my energy levels.

I am passing out pretty early these days, so obviously my body is in need of rest.

Get that sleep and rest up. You'll be better for it!

This^^ - or a deload sesh

[Filmbuff81]

Yeah I have been to the gym twice in the past week.

But they were heavy days, so not exactly deloads.

I am just going to jump rope in the evenings the next few days.

I think between being run down, and cutting some weight I've created a perfect storm of tiredness.

Going to start adding carbs back into my days instead of jus the evenings.

I don't think it's been treating me well from an energy standpoint.

Cutting weight has been easy, but no real intensity.

Are you doing CBL?

[Saintsqc]

Are you doing CBL?

Carb back loading?

I saw that a couple times in thread titles...no idea what it is. Can someone aware me?

[Filmbuff81]

I was doing it, but no more.

Saint it's basically a keyo diet with less than 30g durin the day an then pound them in the evening.

It messed with me too much, so I stopped it.

[Filmbuff81]

On another note, this has been a deload week for me.

And picking up my puppy in seattle tomorrow! Gonna be a long day but lots of fun.

I may go squat on Saturday, but we'll see. I might have too much puppy love going on haha.

She is very cute and I hope she has a safe flight and is not too stressed from her flight.

What type of dog are you thinking of getting?

[Filmbuff81]

Nothing but rain, gray, and darkness. Probably 2 of the darkest weeks I can remember around here.

Definitely not used to it.

We like pugs very much, it's suitable for our need and the environment we live in. But I wouldn't mind a frenchie or a boston terrier either....

I think you wouldn't appreciate our weather conditions here in Sweden just replace the rain with freezing cold and ice and add utter darkness to it..

Pugs are cool little dogs.

And I didn't want to say anything, but I was thinking that lol.

Lots of swedes come to Vancouver and feel right at home. Our weather is slightly less depressing haha.

We have rain 6-7 months of the year and then spring is alright and then we have a very short window for a true summer.

Floght info for my pup has changed. Poor girl has a long day ahead of her.

I might go to the gym to kill some time and take my mind off waiting. I already had a 3hr drive ahead of me and now I have to wait even longer to leave.

My wife is very antsy and sad she can't come with me, but now she'll be even sadder since she has to wait an extra 4 hrs before I'll be home.

What Film said.

You have a 10 day prep phase of <30g of carbs.

After the 10 days you slam back "high GI" carbs post workout or you'll slam back carbs.

Non training days you keep carbs at <30g

I tried it and it sucked.

[Filmbuff81]

But I made it into the gym and worked up to 275x1 on front squat and then did snatches+overhead squat for 8 sets.

Snatches were done more for technique at 95lbs.

So

95 8x1+5 Overhead Squat.

Great explosive exercise and I have done that as my BBB in the past.

[Filmbuff81]

Damn.. nice

Not as nice as this!




I will try to catch up on logs this weekend while chilling with my puppy.

[Filmbuff81]

I was happy I got in there today that is for sure!

Even though I am woefully off in terms of how my body feels, today was a good day in the gym and on my exhausting 10hr journey.
