Hello! I will be blogging about my my daily adventures in and out of the gym! Hopefully this will force me to be accountable for my actions to become a better weightlifter and person.

Let me introduce myself, I am an 62kg (normal weight is 66kg) Olympic weightlifter in the USA. I started about two years ago so I am still a noobie. In my first nationals which was a couple weeks ago, I placed 5th and will be looking to improve that total.

The Paleo diet is something I believe that will improve my lifting. I probably won't be strict in following this(might have some white rice and milk), but it will be close. This diet is based upon hunter gathers. Basically this a lot of meat, veggies and fruit. :DDD

Also check out the TL health and fittness thread! Everyone is awesome in there! http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=180919


8/22/11
After reading a topic of the Chinese training system, I thought this will be a good time to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses in my training.
snatch: 93kg
clean and jerk:110kg
back squat:160kg
front squat:135
clean pull:140
snatch pull: ?

Strengths
-Good leg strength
-Fast speed under bar
-Good overhead strength

Weaknesses
-Very weak pull
-Poor jerk technique (not getting bar behind ears)
-some swinging in snatch and clean

Fixes
-more pulls!
-technique work after workouts. (my coach regulates my regular oly work so i cant do more)
-add jerk drives, back squat isos


Another evaluation
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'm getting a bit lazy, just check the last page for the updates.
btw check out this sweet channel

I had a bad dinner today with family We'll both do better tomorrow!

btw, am I allowed to snatch one day, rest one day then snatch again the day after? Do I need more recovery time if I'm a noob?

ty jjhchsc2! I wish you the best of luck on your lifting too. White rice isnt paleo, since it stays away from starches. I think white rice is ok from what eshlow says.

@haji, how many days are you lifting? For newer people to oly lifting I would recommend lifting only 3-4 days a week. Having a day break will be fine. Once you feel more comfortable with the training you can snatch consecutive days. Are you implementing an oly program?
My coach doesnt have me do oly lifts every day either so I dont think its a big deal. I would like to have snatches everyday though.

Why will you be swapping olive oil with coconut oil? Coconut oil is the unhealthiest edible oil (i.e. highest in saturated fats).

only training 3 times a week

I anatomically can't power clean, and I've found snatching to be fun so I wanted to know how much I can mix it into my routine.

Currently using the Paleo Diet, to keep up with my sealfit/crossfit :D

Before I joined the Army, I was a 130 Lbs and that was a year ago.
Now I am 165 Lbs pretty cut up and toned :D Pretty happy with my results!

Good Luck with your adventures!

Also I'm curious do you take whey proteins? I don't cause I rather eat a bunch of hard boiled eggs(no yolk) I rather intake natural protein

Well heavy lifting more than 3-4 times a week is kind of impossible to recover from unless some anabolic boost is used, i wonder whats your take on that and how it relates to the industry.
Aah thats the stuff..

@xarthaz, I lift 5 days a week. There are plenty of people who lift heavy everyday. Check out average broz gym. They max out snatch, clean and jerk, back squat and front squat EVERYDAY. The word "impossible" isnt used by weightlifters

@ BrTarolg, wow awesome! From what Ive seen on youtube, UK has a pretty small weightlifting team. Good luck with your training! update me on your progress!

@boubou, I will put my updates in spoilers in the OP.

Only 7 hours of sleep. Off to a bad start already. I had to wake to help my sis move in to her new apartment so I had no time to cook, hence the fast food... I could of picked a better choice so it's my fault.
Gym session was a bit of a bust too. I was suppose to go heavy but had crappy energy. Pull was very slow which made my 2nd pull even worse, causing a miss at 80. The way I miss is putting my knee down at the bottom of the squat. Don't worry I do that a lot when the bar is forward. I took another snatch at 85 and barely got that. My coach cut me off right there. Clean and jerks didnt go any better, I missed a jerk at 100 which was forward. My jerk problems are getting really annoying. I need to be more consistent in putting the bar behind my head. I took 100 again and then hit a very shaky jerk. I dont like talking about the accessory lifts but I did back squat up to 140 for double.
I have a double session on monday so I look forward to that!

I hadn't been keeping up with the thread but you placed 5th? Very sick.

Does that have age groups?

Is pinch grip hold what it sounds like?
you holding a 15kg plate 1 handed with a pinch, for time?

Yeah pinch grip is what you described. I think I held for around 15-20 seconds. Pretty weak lol

Cool, another paleo follower!

I find it amusing your name has "dim sum" in it. Not at all paleo

Good luck though! It's hard to stick to the diet, but very much worth it.

@travis it would be hard, But maybe 2016/2020! I would have to be top 2 or 3 in usa including all weight classes.

@magnusmind, thanks, how long have you been paleo? What gains have you seen?

@pindleskin, really? I wouldnt think lifters from new zealand juice. In usa, there is random testing so it will be hard to take banned substances.

Will update now.

About 5 months now. My weight has actually stayed the same (I've found that it refuses to change despite how well/badly I treat my body). Actually, the biggest difference I've noticed is the increase in ENERGY. I no longer feel sluggish. I can concentrate on whatever I'm doing all day, every day. I no longer need to drink coffee. It feels great.

If you see muscles, you're definitely gaining muscle and losing fat. So yeah, don't pay too much attention to weight. Your body is improving, even when you weigh the same.

@xarthaz, I lift 5 days a week. There are plenty of people who lift heavy everyday. Check out average broz gym. They max out snatch, clean and jerk, back squat and front squat EVERYDAY. The word "impossible" isnt used by weightlifters


I don't mean to be inflammatory, but wasn't there a special set of bulgarians which were famous for doing this every day using some uh.. special substances?

I don't think it is physically possible to recover properly otherwise

edit: also holy shit thats a big snatch for someone your size 0.0

I managed to get 3x65 front squat recently which is a new for me, going to go for 72 backsquat soon

Practising sets of 5x overhead squat with 20kg.. frickin impossible lol

Yeah the whole Bulgarian team got banned for the 2008 olympics. Average Broz Gym is a gym in the USA that uses the bulgarian method. They are heavily tested (all year) and the gym has produced the top super heavyweight in the nation. It is possible for the Bulgarian method to work.

btw how old are u? update me on your progress when you have time! I didnt think there were oly lifters in TL other than the ones who post in the TL fitness thread.

What does your workouts look like? Overhead strength will get easier once you get more flexible. Keep working at it! :D

Im flexible enough (more than enough actually), they are just fucking impossible thats all hahaha

My workouts are basically warming up with a broomstick

Since atm im working fulltime (no time for oly lifting) i'm doing 1 snatch into 5 overhead squats (light weights! ofc) and doing 5 sets of that
Then i'll work on either front of back squat building up to a 5rep max weight, going for 4 sets usually, sometimes 5 (depends how easy im building up)

After that i'll work on benchpress or a dip/pullup mix

So yeah, just the basic fundies atm with overhead squat

If i were doing oly lifting id skip the overhead squats and just do snatches and C+J, and end session with benchpress and front or back squat

I've never done anything more complicated than that (and i don't think i really need to)
1 repmax back is 70, front is 65 (though i did 3x 65 so i should be able to do more)
Max c+j (havnt worked on it in ages) is 55 and snatch was like 30 or 35 (cant remember lol - i don't wanna do more snatch with heavy weights until i actually get my overhead squats good)
Next time i get to a oly gym i should be able to do 60 C+J easily i think

Main problem is for heavier weights i could powerclean but not normal clean it (i can fullclean 55 though)

I'm 21 and hideously skinny, 5,10 height
Heaviest person in my family, everyone else is <54, i'm currently 57.5 (gained 5kgs since exams wee), going for 60 (getting to 56.5 was easy, since then its almost impossible)
Biggest difficulty i have is eating, i simply suck at it (sounds dumb i know)

Basically force feeding myself 2.5k calories a day atm, and its really painful sometimes lol

clean pull:140
snatch pull: ?

Strengths

We kind of suck because people are tested too heavily and so we arnt allowed to take magical undetectable steroids to breed ultra lifters from the age of 5

I'm kind of the opposite to you, i have good pulls but i can't squat for shit

And snatch is impossible lol. I'm pretty sure i could throw 60kg into the air over my head but no way i could snatch that lol

@brtarolg, I wouldnt blame steroids. The better countries just have better recruitment programs.

@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?

Yes, since you probably are eating grainfed meats which has high levels of omega 6 fats. Fish oil has the omega 3 fats to balance out the omega 3/omega 6 ratio. Also try not to eat brown rice since the grain irritates your gut and is not as nutritious as veggies.

btw what kind of lifting do you do?

Diet has been a bit poor lately, and I had trouble eating eggs today for some reason. 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.

Wow today was rubbish

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

WOW, I had a terrible day lifting. Only had one session today because I had a doctors appointment. Snatches were suppose to be max doubles. I couldnt even snatch 80. I felt very very slow and had no energy. Hopefully I will do better tomorrow.

Well, the Bulgarian method is not taking special substances, but rather training 2-3 times a day with very heavy weights. 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.

Quick question about upper body

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

I would change up the sets for the pullups to 3 sets. 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.

I dunno why but lately my appetite has just gone to shit. I've been working out the same volume but I am eating way less. Does htis ever happen to you?

Or I guess maybe you'd just force yourself to eat as it's probably pretty important for you.

It happened to me a little bit when I went off the diet. I lost a bit of weight, but I eventually got back to eating. I usually don't have trouble eating so it's not a problem.

Did anything change recently that made you lose your appetite?

Fucking jerks still terrible. I went to max jerks today and kept failing at 115. I smoked 110 and then I couldnt even get 115. Not sure how 115 felt so heavy, but I'll get it next time. I will be going heavy in my jerk drives to get comfortable.

You dont really only weight 65kilo's right? Im noob to weightlifting and its terminology, but i guess that's how you are classified in olympic weightlifting?

End to a heavy week! I made some solid progress on my lifts. Snatches are very consistent at 90. There is some backward movement in my snatches and cleans but I will iron that out soon. On a good note, I am also doing a better job of bringing the bar into my hips, instead of bringing my hips to the bar. The jerks been a lot more solid so I cant complain. Slow and steady progress....I will be ready for the american open.

On a injury standpoint, my elbow has been a bit sore lately. Ended up doing some light presses and bicep curls to cure it. Feels good right now.

Diet has been shit, no excuses there. Need to clean it up next week.

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone's catching colds at this time, I remember seeing someone complaining about having it in the health and fitness thread along with my own cold =[

How often are you doing two-a-days? And 10 hours of sleep is a bit much

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.

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!

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)
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

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
