And I have friends that have grown over 10 cm (~4 inches) after the age of 15, outgrowing their parents by several inches. Just continue eating and lifting weights to give your body the best possible conditions.  | ||

Finished first goal today: 1.5BW squat @ 105kg bench 67.5 deadlift 115 press 42.5 pclean 42.5 Which bring me to my hate subject: For 6 weeks now I am failing 42.5 on the press. Virtually 0 progress. I started power cleans just last week and already easily overtook the press (don't know if that is expected though). But my press is so ridiculously fail. And a question: I found that when I rack the bar in the top slot at the bench, I just barely get it out in my work sets. And that makes me lose form every time. So today I racked it one slot below, started from there, and racket it back into the top slot (for safety reasons). The 67.5kg were WAY easier that way than the 65kg last week with skewed form. Is that a bad idea? If so any other suggestion how I can use the top slot without losing tension and form? | ||

I was stuck at 115 lb for the longest time, then suddenly, I move past it and made almost linear progress all the way up to 140. I recommend resetting and eating more food. Your performance actually increases quite a bit once you start eating more, but it takes a few days to kick in. Your bar should be racked at a height that's parallel to your starting position, such that all you need to do is bringing it forward without raising it or lowering it. I'm guessing your rack has three fixed slots and not adjustable? | ||

He barks at me whenever my form slips, so I am almost 100% sure that my form is nicely below paralel. I have a little tendency to go down to fast, because it makes going lower easier, but I'm working on that. Also, tomorrow is my birthday. Prepare for awesomeness. Going down quickly in the squat isn't a problem if you do it without losing tightness. If you're losing the arch in your back, the puff in your chest, or the stretch in your hamstrings THEN it's a problem, but otherwise, it's just a guy with a bigass weight pushing him into the ground. Good that you have someone to check your form in real time though, Videos and this thread are great, but they aren't there all the time.

If your routine is set up so that you aren't doing the same shit over and over mine goes something like this chest back shoulders/tris abs/bis legs so I'm never hitting the same things consecutive which is fine ! Doing squats/deadlifts/frontsquats right after one another does sound like death to me though hahaha I couldn't handle that if I was going all out on every workout. (which you should be  )Most of us are on full body routines here every day that we lift, but pretty sure only Dimsum is crazy enough to oly lift and max squat every day of the week. He's a very experienced lifter though. Funkie, you should probably be good to go two days in a row if you accept that you'll be a little tired, and that it won't be the greatest second workout you've ever had. Also if you can avoid squatting two days in a row, I would (do deadlifts and front squats, or something) just because of the risk of a form slip and then injury in the lower back or the knees.

I "stopped" growing when I was 17, but every male on both sides of my family has grown again from 21-22 years old. It's really a mystery how tall you're going to end up. You can roughly estimate, based on your parents and the rest of your family, but in the end it doesn't mean much. I have a twin sister who's only 5'8 (172 cm) and I have a little sister who's the same height as I am. Shit's crazy, but here's a hint: It doesn't actually matter how tall you end up, unless you let it get to you. Literally, NO ONE except you will care about it in the end, unless you end up awkwardly tall and lanky (which is why I go to the gym), or you end up short and have a little man's complex. Or if you're a girl. Then it matters too. On July 20 2011 04:50 zatic wrote: Boo fucking hoo, 175 and perfectly happy with that.

Dem short girls so Cute though. Never been attracted to a girl taller than my shoulder. When she's gotta stand on her toes, and you still have to lean down to let her kiss you, shit is cash.

Virtually 0 progress. I started power cleans just last week and already easily overtook the press (don't know if that is expected though). But my press is so ridiculously fail. It's expected that the PC will overtake the press. The muscles involved are just significantly larger, like the relationship between press and bench, or squat and dead. PC shouldn't ever overtake your squat though AFAIK.

Is that a bad idea? If so any other suggestion how I can use the top slot without losing tension and form? If you need to do it to keep tight form across your back and shoulders, by all means go ahead. If you can get it out without causing yourself any harm, I don't see a problem with it. If you run into a bench that only has one height (ex. the ones in my gym) just get a spotter to help you lift it out. That way you can keep your shoulders tucked, chest out and up, body tight, and bench properly. | ||

Press: 73,5kg 5-5-5-5-5 Deadlift: 192,5kg x 5 PR That was a rough workout, nearly every set was a grind until the end and I was extremely tired. But I got every rep in, so I am happy that I pulled through. Right now I am either a) not eating enough or b) not resting enough. Well, I know it is both right now, but everything is just too much fun right now . Anyway, tomorrow a little bit of HIIT (lol, I can already sense the pain), Thursday is lifting and on Friday I can take a day off. So I will just increase my calorie intake a bit for the next 3 days. Starting right now with a nice steak after midnight. | ||

That's it, got a date planned for my birthday, will write a big fat battle report. Meh i am a frequent nap taker. usually cause i stay up too late and wake up too early. I just keep them less than 45 minutes unless i'm running on a couple hours of sleep (which happens far too often T_T) On July 20 2011 07:21 Malinor wrote: Squat: 175kg 5-5-5-5-5 Press: 73,5kg 5-5-5-5-5 Deadlift: 192,5kg x 5 PR That was a rough workout, nearly every set was a grind until the end and I was extremely tired.

I will increase my workouts, but for the past year I do some form of squat, pull and overhead work every workout 5 days a week. I will now start either max back squat or front squat every workout. @avocado, squats looking good! The dark background isnt helping though haha. What's you're weekly workout going to look like these days? I think bud is giving his daughter a weight set to take to school and put in one of the shitty dorm gyms which should be easier for me to get to so i might take up lifting 4-5 days a week once i get back to school and have the time to.

I don't want to go to the gym on saturday, it's fucking cold on the gym and well, it's unpleasant. I might go, but I don't want to do heavy .I'll do Squats, Press and Deadlift (trying to aim for a 145kg / 150kg x 1 today, woho!) and keep my squat on the 100++ (friday was 110kg, ass to grass, breaking parallel and breaking shit here and there ;D). Press hasn't moved in years, I'm stuck in 62-65kg. Maybe time to deload? what you guys think?. Tomorrow, I'd be doing Front Squats, Bench press and Chinups. My Front Squat has skyrocketed since I started doing them in good form, and in some way I think it has helped a lot my Back Squat. I can lift 110kg without even feeling it's hard. it's heavy, but not hard, not for me anyways!. Progress ?So yeah, what do you guys think about doing tuesday, wednesday, rest day (thursday) and then hit it again on friday, while doing some stretch work on saturday?. (pd. birthday coming in exactly a week! hyped! :D 22 here i go! :D) I swear to god if i ever hear you say its too cold to go to the gym i will fly to south america and beat you. | ||

Keep it up While they're not the best programs someone could be on, they're definitely not the worst, and anything that gets people moving and motivated is worth it in my book. Wish I could get my sister to do Insanity; her old room mate had great results, and my sister is always complaining about how she doesn't fit her clothes from high school anymore (neither do I, but that's a good thing =p). 1) she saw a friend have success on the program 2) she asked me, who by now knows a little bit about fitness and I recommended it to her 3) I downloaded the entire collection of workouts, and burned it onto DVD's for her, since she did not want to pay. 4) my parents bought her a 42" TV to put in her room, and watch the DVD's on 5) she never started the program. fuuuuuuuu.
