Getting enough calories to recover from workouts. The fat in ground beef isn't cause for concern, and if its grass-fed beef then its actually very healthy for you.

Like decaf said, grassfed ground beef is good for you. I also eat both ground beef and chicken.

great consistency!
do you worry that you might not get enough calories or protein with your diet as you skip breakfast? just realised you dont drink protein shakes.
keep up the great work and lifting!

not really I dont count calories, I just eat when I'm hungry. I should eat breakfast though...

Not eating rice anymore, trying to slowly cut for my meet on oct 22. Then I have time to prepare for the american open in alabama and then crillio cup in puerto rico.
|
What meet do you have next? I wanted to do one on oct 22 but i've got a rugby game in ohio :-/
Also is it normal for people to get feet that high/spread that wide? I feel like when olympians do power jerk its more in the style of a squat jerk that doesnt go below parallel (read: zhang ghouzang and dimas)
|
East Coast Gold meet at my home gym in Moorestown, NJ. I spread my feet way too wide, I have been trying to fix it though lol.
also weightlifting nationals are at the arnolds convention in ohio around March. You should go!

Oh and why are you benching? I feel like its counter productive to oly lifting.
|
just doing it once a week for some extra upper body work. it does put a lot of pressure on my shoulders though

Meh, I'd just do more press/push press/jerks or even shoulder/tricep isolation exercises if you want more upper body work. I think benching will tighten your upper body and put mass where you don't need it. I guess once a week isn't a big deal though.
|
I might just dumbbell bench instead. I usually push press twice a week and press once or twice. Just wanted some variation. Do u do any isolation stuff? I do some bicep and wrists curls for my elbow and thats it.
Also I'm pretty excited for training after the oct 22 meet. My coach said he wants to put more work on low/high blocks. I like how my coach varies the training a lot which is always fun.
|
Nah i havent done any isolation work in like a year. And yeah it'd be nice to have a real coach. I pretty much do my own thing and try to correct/have my form corrected as i go T_T

Try posting videos on the pendlay forums, they can give you advice.
Another evaluation( I should do these every month) 10/5/11 Updates on prs back squat:165kg front squat:136kg jerk: 115kg push press: 90kg rdl: 110kgx5 dl: 141kgx2
Jerks are very solid right now. Push press and jerk drives are helping a lot. Pulls are a work in progress but I will just need to keep working to get my back stronger. Technique is also getting better, which I am pulling the bar into my hips a lot better. I will still swing sometimes, but not as much.
New/same Problems -weak second pull. I tend to cut my pull a lot since I am quick under the bar. This causes me to be very bad at power cleans and power snatches. -poor pulls, need to strengthen those hammies! -get stronger!
Fixes -will work from hang and blocks more. -adding more pulls off platform -add more partial lifts? ( i love these)

I generally know what i fuck up in my technique/have someone who can tell me what i did wrong. I just have very little structure in my workouts lol. First problem could be worse, its not like you compete in power clean/snatch competitions :p

Yeah it could be worse, I still would like to get my 2nd pull better.
