EPTAt first i thought these were in lbs, I was so confused. Then i realized it was kg and it made me decide I need to train a little harder.

@jjhchsc2 thanks! In four weeks, I will reevaluate my strength and technique. Then I can make adjustments to what I am doing. @yokay, I am 5'4. I would like to say I'm almost 5'5  . | ||

My lower back was really sore from deadlifting yesterday, but I got some good strength work in with squats and pulls. The second session was focused on the power movements. I was a bit tired but I concentrated on my technique and made some good progress. | ||

Pretty bland, plenty of chicken/steak/veggies/egg whites, variety of jerky, yogurt, and fruit galore. Brown rice, etc. also lots of protein supplements Biggest thing is just variety, my usual meals get old pretty quickly so it's great to be able to just pick out food items to change it up. Is the fish oil worth it? | ||

Also felt a bit nauseous when lifting. I had a lot of volume in my training today, I cut out a bunch of sets on my clean and jerk and still missed my last set. | ||

I've completely forgotten the technique for activating my legs when pulling up the bar, i was failing to clean 40.. Eventually i managed to clean 50 a few times but lots of failures because i was unable to activate explosive power in my legs - i think i had difficulties with the technique where i squeeze it up a bit before exploding I then worked on deadlift and managed to do a 100kg deadlift but i could feel the same issues - i was using too much back to get the intial squeeze before my legs kicked in and did the easy work I think i need to practise more hang cleans to get the technique considering i had an EASY 55kg clean before, failing at 40 was a real downer and i was hoping to do 60kg today for some reason when i pulled with my legs there was no explosive power at all even though i was picking up the weight easy and then i had to use my upper body to get the explosion which is totally wrong | ||

Hopefully I will do better tomorrow. | ||

Btw, as far as I know, coach Ivan Abadjiev, who was the reason for the Bulgarian success in weighlifting is working in USA at the moment. Yeah they were all on steroids | ||

I'm mixing in benches into my workouts now, as well as pull ups and dips Whilst my bench is getting bigger, and im getting heavier (57.1 dehydrated HOORAY - seriously though my legs look so wrong in proportion to my body atm haha), i can never seem to break serious sets of pullups (and to some extent, dips) Like, if i do sets of 5 pullups, after 5 sets im completely and totally broke (i usually never make the 5th set) I've never had any real progression with them, and i don't think i should be trying to do weighted ones unless i can break 5x5. I cant really do more than 12 from fresh so maybe that is kind of telling also Maybe i should just keep working on upping my bench and then give it a go? --- (60kg here i come) My diet is suffering recently - the only reason im up late (6 hours sleep tonight Q.Q) is so that i give myself enough time to eat all the shit i need so i get a minimum of 2k calories (and hopefully hit 2.5) Forcing pistachio nuts down my throat atm lol | ||

Maybe you can try weighted some days and unweighted for others. I would still both bench and pullups since they work different muscles. Upperbody exercises I like are push press, overhead press, pullups, rows. I also try to mix in dips and bench a little bit. The very main exercise is definitely the push press if you dont do it already. All others are just extra assistance which I dont take too seriously. | ||
