This will all still be quite a ways into the future for me as it is, and I'm not sure I'm willing to go to grad school again, but I'm interested in the topic a lot. Also, The Daily Show did a special on Planet Fitness: Hey I am currently studying physiotherapy in Australia ('physical therapy' in a lot of places). For us it is either a 4 year bachelor degree straight out of high school but you need similar grades to medicine to get in, or what I am doing, which is completing an undergraduate degree of a minimum 3 years in a health/exercise science field (mine was 3.5 years exercise science bachelor degree), then do a 2 year postgraduate masters program. It is very different from being a doctor, there is still a very strong focus on anatomy and physiology and clinical diagnosis, but we tend to treat mainly disorders of the nervous system or musculoskeletal system | ||

I honestly have never seen an Olympic weightlifter do more than a triple clean or snatch. Maybe Dimsum could give you a better answer. I honestly focus on singles and sometimes doubles for cleans and snatches. I think Decaf and Dimsum do the same. Also, Mr. O is coming! I know we aren't exactly big on bodybuilding around here, but I have to admit: Cutler is looking really good. He doesn't have the HGH gut and looks kind of like the Incredible Hulk right now. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/3874/1316076226010.jpg) Yea, it was ridiculously difficult to PC even 60kg (max slightly under 80kg/175lb 3 reps for me) for 5 consecutive reps. I'm too used to doing them in 3s. The Madcow program calls for 5x, but I think I'm just going to break it down to 3x followed by 2x; and for the 8x, I think I'll do 4-2-2. | ||

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Bill_Starr_5x5#The_Bill_Starr_Power_Routine The original program actually calls for 5x5 of PCs... So I think I'll just stick with it, but with lower weights. Also, no 8 reps of PCs at the end of 4x5 and 1x3 on medium day | ||

I really get and urge to roar at any moron that says something along the lines of "72kg is to heavy for you to squat at your size". I ignore them, but i really want to scream "BITCH, that ain't even a work set, i'm just warming up over here". It's really weird, very few people squat, the one who do, use the dreaded smith machine, don,t go anywhere near paralel and have been squatting the exact same weight since i started there. I'm also the only one who does deadlifts and powercleans, so i had to learn to draw power from the weird looks i get. That was i long one, i hope by posting i can get even more motivated. Welcome fellow countryman! Great progress there for 3 months in SS. I started earlier than you, using more weight but didn't progress as fast, probably due to eating far less than I should have. On your rant, I totally agree with you. Here where I live no one ever heard of SS (even the gym instructors) and give me weird looks whenever I squat, deadlift and powerclean. Everyone is doing those bodybuilding split "brograms" and you can't even find a proper squat rack  But if that's the price you pay for being awesome, so be it! :D keep it up yo! | ||

Stay consistent. You will lose some individual battles but in the long run you win the war. | ||

@rosa and cambium, I actually dont like high rep (5+)power cleans. Some programs actually have it, which I would just follow. | ||

My max atm is 74kg for a triple, but I've done 65kgx5-6 before warming up. It just feels effortless to me... then again, my pc comes after I do deads, or an extensive warmup. Still, I wonder if its just a personal difference, or if there's something in the technique, or what it is... | ||

 Another long time lurker here. Nick: Vanger Age: 23 || Height: 188cm || Weight: 85kg Goal Date: 01/01/12 Weight goals -- Getting lean mass Training goals -- C&J 100kg, Snatch 70kg, Bench 85kg (low priority) Best lifts: C&J: 85kg, Snatch: 60kg (bad form), Bench: 75kg x5, OHP 57,5 x5, Squat 120kg I have been training for ~16 months now and recently started Olympic lifting at a local club. However I have a problem. I got quad tendonitis (i think) because of apparently too much volume and bad beginner OL technique. Ofc i was training through it like an idiot until it started to hurt bad :/ Now after 6 weeks of pausing I was getting back into it really slowly, but my knees are starting to hurt again. They never hurt during the workout only the day after, which i find very strange. Also they hurt kinda different than they did before I had my 2 month rest. Its more "inside" the knee. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated! I already am foam rolling/fish oiling/ light stretching Also I want to express how great this thread is! I was already doing fitness when i discovered this thread, but you guys have really inspired me to try out OLifting. And so far its been super fun except for the hurting knees part. | ||

For about a week or so now, both my forearms have been giving this small pain (almost feels like a pain in the bone, even though I'm sure it's not) in the pinky side when I workout. I didn't pay much attention to it, lowered my weights and expected it to go away. Unfortunately, it's gotten really worse this week. I've now been off weight lifting for a week and it seems like each day it's only getting worse, to the point where today it's hurting even when I tried to lift my laptop bag. I've googled around a bit and most just say take time off weights and take an anti-inflammatory, but doing this has lead to no success. Has anyone ever suffered from something similar to this? If so, what did you do to get over it? I'm going crazy hereee | ||

He dumps his weight in front with his last strength. But he really should have kept breathing I don't know much about the German weightlifting league to be honest. OL is not very popular in Germany. But you can find some videos on youtube if you enter "gewichtheben bundesliga". I will try to record some attempts of mine next week or so. | ||

Edit: on a more serious note think i have reached a diet\eating plan that i am reasonably happy with which has me more covered than what i used to eat, it is basically something like this, assuming no outside interference: 400g of minced meat (484 kcal, 76 g protein, 20g fat) 5 banans (dont really know, figuring 500 kcals?) 2 cans of pineapple (228~kcals, 56 g carbs ~) 2 cucumbers and 1 pepper (no idea can't be much kcals though) 1 skyr yoghurt type thing ( 19g protein, no\little fat, 23 g carbs, 175 kcals) and last but not least 2.5 litre whole milk ( 1650 kcals, 87,5g protein, 115g carbs, 97,5 g fat) All in all totaling 3037 Kcal, 182g protein, 118g fat, 195g carbs. (and then whatever is in the bananas\vegetables.) hmm. I am getting in a good amount of protein at least, a lot of carbs too though? B( and last but not least having my 2nd B day tomorrow, gunning for 55kg squat (the last squat I had of 50kg was arguably the easiest one, so hoping i will be able to do 50kg since ive been eating like a mofo after last work outs, so hopefully lots of squat muscles have grown.) And i'll see what I can get done with the OHP and power clean, will hopefully find an anti blister grip tomorrow at least. | ||

You're having a goddamn gallon of whole milk... Maybe you should look at that, not the fruit. | ||

I would cut back on the fruit and substitute in sweet potatoes instead. | ||

I am not looking at the fruit or the milk, just in general I have been lead to believe that if i weree to want to lose (not gain?) body fat percentage, carbs is the thing I want to cut out (more so than fat\proteins at least). Cutting out the milk and still get my kcal up seems like it would be pretty hard though. hmm. | ||
