I think this is fine overall. I would avoid commas b/c you'll eventually want to graph this out. Just put down one weight that you think you're "AT"

question for olympic lifters - when split jerking in C&J, do you alternate legs? or does this matter. Im learning the jerk part of the movement today, it feels much more comfortable to go down with my right leg than my left. Is this a muscle imbalance or natural lol.

olympic lifts are awesome btw. I havent lifted or exercised at all for over a month per recommendation by my doctor (who has confirmed that i dont have rhabdomyolisis or w/e now), just getting back into it now. Ive decided to do a split between SS and Olympic lifts like so:

day1
Squat
Bench
Deadlift

day2
Clean and Jerk (instead of power cleans + press)
snatch? Never done this before, Ill see how it goes
some weighted chins possibly


slightly reduced leg work due to no squats on day2, but i also play soccer 3x a week now so it works better this way imo.

Ive lost almost 10pounds during my forced inactivity, down to 152 Hopefully ill be able to re-gain strength fast, and then improve. My goal for now is to put on some weight, ive never weighed more than 160 lbs in my life and I want to change that. 180 by september seems a decent benchmark to me ^_^

I read this forum every time i browse TL, you guys are an inspiration reading about everyones progress helped keep me motivated while I couldnt lift. time to get back at it LIKE A BOSS

Everyone does 8-10 reps using sissy weights and therefore achieve nothing. Multiple sets of 5 allows a good balance between number of reps and weight used.

More and more questions. Although I am certainly doing lol. What would be good snack food, or a good later meal. Because after that workout I'm actually starving after eating like three pieces of chicken earlier.

I don't, I don't think?





@sjarl Are you doing a 1 rep max or are you busting these out for 5 reps? Seeing your lift makes me motivated to beat you haha. Ill see what I can do next deadlift day.
