Anybody know how I could get started without any equipments? Im a poor students and can't really afford a gym membership, Im also not too sure where to look if I were to buy some free weights.

Im also pretty new at this stuff, I don't know much besides pushups, situps, etc.. So anybody have any tips for this skinny guy trying to get in shape?

Fuck I hate my brother. First time I did squats I did 65 kgs. First time he did squats he did 87.5 kgs. And he is 183 cm and weights 71 kgs. Why does he have so good genetics and I don't ?! >_<

After 3 weeks of intermittent lifting, I think I'm back to where I was 6 months ago.

Time to make progress now obv.

I only had 2 days to train this week so I did not follow my coach's workout.I tried a different approach to training, which was to mimic the chinese/other countries workout with lifting up to a certain weight, then restart and go back up again.

yesterday
1 power/ 1 fullsnatch 40x3 40x3 50x3 55x2 60x2 65x2 70x2
then stuck to power 50x2 60x2 70x1 75x1(full snatch)
snatch pulls 85x3 90x3x4 (I suck at pulls, was not pulling correctly)
front squat 50x3 70x3 90x3 100x2 110x2 115x2x3
muscle snatch 40x2 45x2x2
snatch grip press in full squat(no clue what it is called) 30x3 35x3x3

today
clean and jerk 50 60x3 70x2 80x2 85x2 90x2
restart clean and jerk 50x2 70x2 80x2 After I started to power clean since I felt strong lol
power clean and jerk 90x1 95x1PR 100x1PR (no jerk) 100x1(full clean and missed jerk)
clean pulls 115x3 120x3x2
back squat 50 90 110x3 120x2 130x2x3
core/abs
played around with muscle snatch failing at 51

My clean form is getting better but my jerk is still trash. The second phase of the workup actually feels better than the first, I really like it a lot. I flew through todays workout even with the heavy volume and finished faster than normal lol.

So for people who are oly lifting, this might be a good change of pace. Stay with relatively light weights(I think my weights are only about 75/80%) and keep working on form. Second workout seems a lot easier for some reason, maybe because I was more warmed up...

Finally back home. Had my first healthy meal in like 10 days rofl. Slamming fish oil, vitamins, vegatables, protein, and cutting out carbs. Sore as hell from playing rugby and i didn't even do that much. So out of shape. My body is noticeably less defined then last week. Probably managed to put on a couple pounds of fat and lose a couple pounds of muscle. About to fall asleep for a long time. Then hitting the gym hard as hell tomorrow.






Gonna try this out some time. If you have any other oly routine info let me know...i feel like its really hard to find it online T_T

@Nazarene nice work!

@ Sjarl: You are a viking beast!

tell me about your progress! What do you have trouble with? What are your strengths? Its 4 weeks out, so practicing full lifts are more important.


@decaf I dont know much about programming. This might be a good reference. http://weightliftingexchange.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=20&id=76&Itemid=111
