Arms are not.

Core is not. But improving all 3 is not a bad thing.

Overall though I'm just confused as to how my lifts are literally 4-5x less than others. I expected 1/2 to 1/3, but meh. Hopefully I get some reasonable gains.


That just means when you get into consistent training your gains will generally last a lot longer.

What do you mean by that?


Your gains will continue for a long time

A fail day for me unfortunately

106.5kg squat fail 5/3/0 <- didn't try for 3rd set, I'm feeling something in my right knee that I might have to deload on squats for. We'll see.
88.6kg bench 3x5 ez
125kg deadlift 1x3. Really need chalk. Will order some tomorrow if possible. Would you guys consider it a legit set if I were to like... wipe my hands/bar between reps?

I meant how much pressing per week as well.

You probably need to be pressing at least 3x a week at some point to make good progress after a certain point

Also, technique may be an issue as well

Just a quick question about how much weight you add between workouts.

The wiki says "deadlifts can move up 15-20 lbs. per workout, squats 10-15 lbs., with continued steady progress for 3-4 weeks before slowing down to half that rate. Bench presses, presses, and cleans can move up 5-10 lbs. per workout, with progress on these exercises slowing down to 2.5-5 lbs"

I interpret this as you increase the weight of every lift once or twice a week(ABA or BAB), and squat is increased 3 times. Is that the case? It seems that the squat weight would become way above the others.

Had a really shitty work out today (celebrating roommates 21st...) Just threw around some power cleans and front squats but i was bored and tried out some squat jerks. got up to a 100kg and i fucking loved it. Squat jerking SO much fun. feels weird dropping into it but once i get it in the slot at the bottom and stand up with it was awesome, felt like i was accomplishing way more than a split jerk lol. Going to incorporate a lot more of these, even if i dont switch to it just for fun :D

Yes, this is the case. Squat should increase 30 pounds per week until you just cant anymore

I've had it: I'm looking for a new gym.

I'm doing my warmups today for O-lifts and dropping the bumper plates on a surface meant for bumper plates to be dropped on. A staff member walks up, stares at me for a good 5 seconds, and then points at the barbell and makes a big "X" symbol with his forearms.

I respond with "What?" and he goes "NO GOOD" (in Japanese, with an exaggerated gesture).
Me: "I'm not a dog. Talk normally."
Dumbass: "It's dangerous to do that"
Me: "What's dangerous? I'm lifting in a secluded part of the gym."
Dumbass: "Other people may be surprised at the sound"
Me: "And how about me? Dropping the weights is easier on my shoulder and it helps prevent an injury.
Dumbass: "Well ... other people are in this weight room too."

Fine. I'll risk my safety so the old ladies sitting on the bench press seat can continue their obnoxious conversation about dancing. I'll ignore the fact that a weight room is an environment where weights get dropped, thrown, and people grunt loudly all the time. Yeah, fuck you, Konami Sports Gym. Some idiot puts every single 25, 20, and 15kg plate in the gym on the bar and stares at it? Nobody says a word. People sit on the bench press having conversations so other people can't use it? Nobody cares. I drop a 50kg barbell with bumper plates on a padded surface? Everyone freaks the fuck out and a person who was in a completely different part of the gym apparently complained.

I'm researching weightlifting clubs, and I'm not sure if I can join one or not. A university in my area apparently has a weightlifting facility with a fairly strong looking club, but I don't know if I can get in. A staff member at my gym is into Olympic lifting, and I'd ask him, but that would put him in an awkward position considering his job and all.

Sometimes I get seriously tired of this country.

well Rosa, Konami is a POS gym so better to GTFO sooner rather than later. Take it as a blessing in disguise.

I'd honestly just talk to the Oly lifting staff guy at the gym. It's not going to cause him any problem at all even if he refers you elsewhere - your needs simply don't match what the gym can provide. It's pretty standard for stores in Japan to properly refer you to other places. My parents were at the information booth at one of those big department stores in Ginza and asked for directions to Uniqlo LOL!!

Oh yea that reminds me, the Konami I was at for a few months didn't even have a barbell. Try beating that!

Those people have never actually lived and worked in Japan.
