Or you could write it out every day instead of by week the above can be useful depending on how you workout. I have my notebook where I have warmup weights written out and then work sets for the day, and I'll add a note if I failed something. | ||

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 | ||

Do whatever feels right for you - in the end, doing something for a long time beats doing a perfect job for only 2 weeks. | ||

SS is good as-is for strength and a good introduction to Olympic lifting (just do high bar squats!) and all, but for actually doing a strict Olympic lifting program, you may want to incorporate more C&J and snatches. I practice both every day just due to this insane technical nature of the lifts. Also, squat every day. Back squat and front squat are both extremely important. Today I did this: Clean practice (mostly hang cleans with some cleans from the floor, all light weight) Some snatch practice (bar only) Overhead pressx3x5 Back squat 5x1 (increasing to 90% of 1RM) Hm... I think I'm stronger than I thought I was, or my program is really making a man out of me. Today's back squat at 120kg was easy and I felt like I could have added another 10-15kg on top of that. I'm still going to keep adding 5kg/week on front and back squats, and then max out on my last workout of the week, but my confidence went way up today with that squat. | ||

Pretty good day. @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. | ||

Because after that workout I'm actually starving after eating like three pieces of chicken earlier. more chicken is fine. Whole milk is actually decently filling, but I'm sure you're eating plenty of that. I like to eat eggs because they're quick to make, or i'll strain a can of tuna fish. If you're talking an actual SNACK snack, I personally use almonds. | ||

Although strangely I'm not feeling anything in the pecs, but my deltoids and triceps are super sore. Probably just has to do with relative muscle strengths, and will begin to even out, although I hope it doesn't have to do with technique. | ||

Maybe there was some unnecessary rounding of the back. The second rep looked better imo, with more hip activation | ||
