i done squat 65kg/60kg/55kg several sets (like 2-3-5-4-4-2 i guess, wasnt really counting, just working till my face turned red) then i moved to bench - BAD idea to try benching twice in a row. hadnt i learnt this already?? i done 3 reps of 67.5kg then stopped - need to recover properly for friday. then i thought okay ill do lateral raises for shoulders. never done them before but got an idea what to do. tried to raise two 5kg weights up my sides but my shoulder really hurt. tried again with 2.5kg weights and still hurt. shit. so i quit that and waited to do deads next but gym was full by then. i didnt know what to do (havent learn powercleans yet) so ive come home and had some beef. im gonna do curls if poss and then go back to the gym in an hour and do my deads (itll be empty by then). in retrospect i should have stayed at the gym and done leg raises/abs, as it would supplement my squat (now i realised how to use abs in squat!). however didnt think of that at the time and was at a loss for what to do!!! | ||

Please note that my body weight hovers around 77kg. Also, some of the kg numbers below are funky, only because I am using weights measured in lbs (stupid gym in home town doesn't even have bumper plates). Starting Lifts (1 rep Max/5 rep Max): Clean and (strict) Press: 56.7 kg/49.9kg Snatch: 49.9 kg/43 kg Clean and Jerk: 83.9 kg/ 65.77 kg Ending Lifts (1 rep Max/5 rep Max): Clean and (strict) Press: 65.77kg/56.7kg ---My 5 rep maximum is surely higher (this was my finishing 5rep set, and in retrospect I could have done more), however 145lbs seems to be my upper limit in terms of pure press as of right now. Snatch: 54.4 kg/ 43 kg ---My snatches were my weak point coming in, and are clearly still that way coming out of this program. This is partially due to my relative inexperience with the movement. However, on the positive note, the weight seems a lot more stable in the overhead squat and initial catch. I would like to improve upon the 2nd pull, as I think it is causing some balance problems. Clean and Jerk: 92.89 kg/ 74.82 kg ---I am most happy with the improvement in my Clean and Jerk. Not only were the weights increased, but my form as well. I also think I could have gone heavier on the 1rm, and I will test these upper limits in the next few weeks. As far as criticism, I am still having trouble finishing the second pull in the clean, and am catching the weight too early. Overall, coming from a Crossfit (2 years) background this program was both humbling and effective. I started this routine in hopes to increase my overall strength and power, to help me in the Crossfit workouts, as I cannot move the required weight for the required reps most of the time (I have to scale it slightly). I think this routine gave me considerable gains, considering it was only a 3 week program. Only time will tell how well this will transfer into my Crossfit WoDs though. Anyone else have experience (Dimsum and decaf?) with this program? Because personally I would reccomend it. | ||

Overheard him talking, i guess he used to snatch at least 160 T_T | ||

i will have to pick up PCs soon now dead is getting harder, and im sick worried about getting in any sort of fucking shoulder exercise. i cant even do a >weightless< lateral shoulder raise with my left arm, i found out today. its because i always lie in bed on my left shoulder, facing my laptop. i noticed it was causing an ache/some issue a week or 2 ago and have been trying to avoid lying like that since. im such a delicate butterfly. got my deads in just now. will bring chalk next time! | ||

I know it's a motivational thing but whenever I'm on vacation, any sort of dietary or exercise regime goes out the window, and then when I'm home I notice/am slightly disappointed at the visible change. Well, you reallyjust gotta get keep yourself accountable whether it's making a log, writing it down, having us keep you accountable or whatever | ||

*the shoulder problem im sure is just a consequence of me lying/leaning on that side for the past few months in bed, its annoying but i can only blame myself for bad posture and not listening to my body | ||

It was actually harder than I expected, but I didnt go heavy enough to actually test it. i have done clean + fsq + jerk before and I like it a lot. Also, 160 is a monster snatch WOW | ||

Probably pick it up again in addition to lifting when I get back to school. My dad coaches cross country and track - I know he'd be happy if I picked it back up. Just hit 255 deadlift - 1.5x bw, at 170 lbs 6'3. I also don't understand how im staying the same weight, and am physically larger and stronger. I never had fat on me to begin with - it's weird. | ||
