Do you by any chance know what you could possibly deadlift without straps? I wanted to test mine with straps, but of course they are lost somewhere in the nothingness of my room -.-

I press exactly the same as you do, but my squat and deadlift numbers are nowhere near yours hahaha.

EASIEST 10KG INCREASE ON ALL LIFTS EVER WHAT IS UP Lol, I was wondering how you could only Press 27,5kg. I mean, you are a pretty thin guy, but you also look very fit in person. Good job on your awesome strength gain over night^^ Yeah it's great so I am now after 7 weeks
DL 110kg squat 92.5kg press 37.5kg (still no progress TT) bench 62.5kg
Bodyweight 69kg

After doing nothing but sitting on my ass, playing video games, and eating for the past 3 or so weeks since track ended I tried doing that HIIT shit. I thought that I was going easy on myself by doing 15sec sprints at 100%, 1 minute recovery- that still kicked my ass hahahaha Feels good though

but I got like 15kg bodyweight on you hehe I think my main problem on the press is when to breathe. as soon as I exhale (or inhale) I start to wobble around and lose my tightness.. so i'm having trouble to know/remember when exactly I have to breathe (like, bar on top, bar on shoulders..) pretty sure I didnt get the fifth rep on the 2nd set because I breathed wrong and couldnt get the bar up anymore

i think i just convinced my dad to agree to buy me a 3 month membership to 24 hour fitness. Now, to actually get him to buy it...

As I said before, Funkies Press in relation to his bodyweight is monstrous, seems to be a natural talent at this.
Today was off-day, but I felt so freaking lazy and I just wanted to do something. Went to the gym for a quick 30min session of Power Cleans and Front Squats, since those are the lift I am gonna add for sure after finishing SS. Did some easy sets with focus on technic. Especially for Front Squats, I need to increase the flexibility in my wrists, so did some stretching as well.
Power Clean: 60kg 3-3 65kg 3-3 (easy) Front Squat: 60kg 5-5 (very easy)
Hopefully my lifts tomorrow don't suffer because of todays workout.

Well, I should have been specific, I guess it made it seem like I'm some crazy alcoholic,
I might have say 2-3 beers at work everyday, which means I won't go to the gym, get home shower, make dinner, then have a couple of jack/coke mixes or half a bottle of red on any regular weekday. I wouldn't say I'm alone, I have TV and Facebook!
Weekends are pretty horrific though.
Zatic, you're not to blame! But I think there was a tequila or vodka shot in there with tabasco sauce which permanently killed a few taste buds that night. It's only more recently, just a result of issues with friends/girls etc which I won't get into. But at the moment I think it might be mostly boredom and perhaps stress I've been filling in for our engineering manager for a while and his job is pretty shit so I leave tired everyday and all I want is a beer.

and just because i have absolutely no time to spare

I think you just have to get back in the rhythm of burning all that rage/boredom/stress/whatever on some monster workouts instead of trying to douse it out with alcohol. Just bust out those beast squat/deadlifts again.

okay energies i ranted a little but i deleted it all, lucky lucky.
heres what you need to do to fix yourself:
MAKE A WRITTEN PLAN. MAKE A PLAN, WRITE IT DOWN.
1. pick a day that you want to stop this shitty lifestyle and start the new one. 2. write down what you are going to do every hour on that day. 3. write down what you are going to do every hour on the following day (which will be your first gym day) 4. re-read the plan, adhear to it. 5. welcome home.
i guarantee 100% this is the best way to get out of your problem. this is coming from an ex-alcoholic

Ok, I am not gonna lie, this sounds really really bad. You say weekends are horrific, when on weekdays you have at least 2 beers and half a bottle of wine everyday? That sounds terrifying from my perspective.
I am not gonna give you any advice, since I am in no way qualified to do so. But maybe just read again what you wrote here, and ask yourself what you would tell your best friend if he told you he consumed that amount of alcohol on a daily basis.

There is less weight used and less bottoming out than in a full clean that stresses the knees. Olympic weightlifters don't have bad backs, bad knees but not bad backs, why would cleans be bad for your back? It is easy to bail on a clean, squats are way harder to bail when the rep goes bad.
If hesitant to do cleans, just do them lighter and include them in a barbell complex, and get some conditioning in.
Are you trying to say squats hurts your knees? You know there are back injuries in olympic weightlifting....

I'd say you drink way to much. WAY WAY to much. Stop it.
Today's workout:
Week 2 - Cycle 1 of 3/5/1
BB Bench Press: 60kg x 5, 70kg x 5, 75kg x 5 Millitary Press: 3 sets of 52,5kg x 5 (+2,5kg) Inc. DB BP: 18kg x 8, 21kg, 8 and 26kg x 8
Doing the reps as perscribed to the letter. Was a harder than expected but the last two days have been very energy draining. Happy with the Millitary Press and getting 8 reps on the last set on the incline.
Now for a 2,5k cal feast

Due to a week and a half of partying and sickness I've decided to do a nearly universal de-load on most of my lifts so I gain a little form back while building up strength again.
I reset press and plan on resetting bench tomorrow because of shoulder problems.
Squats and powercleans don't need a reset so I'm still good on those.
I want to de-load deadlift for a while. Reason for this is that a 1x5 max DL is pretty damn brutal for anyone as long as they are honest with themselves and are pulling close to their max every time. And I hadn't done deadlifts in almost 2 weeks. So I'm going to back down 10-15% weight and take it from there.
I was thinking that my grip has been slipping the past few DL sessions too. So when I de-load I was thinking about doing more than 1x5. Say, 1x8 or 3x5 or whatever basically until I feel my grip failing. Is this wise? Is it a good way to address grip strength issue? Or will it just be too much deadlifts even at a reduced weight?

Yo does anyone know when we're finally gonna get this sub-forum deal? There's just so much traffic on this thread right now.

Just checked the 24 hour fitness website and they have a$250 for a year at sport. To anyone who goes to 24 hour fitness, is there any difference between sport and supersport?
