My throat is hurting a bit and I got a bit dizzy lately after hard squats, so I don't think I was at 100%. That aside, I believe this is the first time in my life that I actually say that: I have to eat more. Mid-june I squatted 220kg, and 4 1/2 months later I only managed 195kg. I lost at least 25kg of bodyweight since then, and yesterday I only ate 1900 calories. To put that in perspective, I burned 4300-4400 calories a day during the last 9 weeks (since I keep track), so actually a deficit of 2500calories. What did I expect, really. No other lift suffered as much as my squat: Deadlift and Bench went up and Press stayed the same. Now even sJarl the little weakling is in range of me  Well, at least I do manly high-bar squats and my shoulders don't start bleeding when squatting too much  Anyway, I have to pick my battles and squatting doesn't seem to be one I can win at the moment. I guess I just need to be get my satisfaction from the lifts that are actually going up and just try to squat smarter, and not keep trying with brute force and bad form. And i need to get more protein in, but I struggle to get to 200g most days, and I probably need closer to 250g -.- Seriously, I cannot eat that much meat. Too bad I'm going to out deadlifts you on Monday. 240kg?? | ||

Also signed up for an intermural basketball team (with some guys from the rugby team) which should be fun, and I'm registering for a lifeguarding course next semester, so looks like (hopefully) my summer job will be invalidating my vitamin-D supplement requirements. Going to squat 215 for 5x5 tomorrow, going to break my previous PR (100kg 3x5) on Tuesday (100kg 5x5) and showing no signs of stopping. Reset was certainly needed, as well as getting my diet back on track. It was just a mental thing in the first place, really. Finally, I'd like to thank this thread and my healthy diet and active lifestyle; Bronchitis, or at least a pretty serious flu has been rolling around this campus for weeks now. I woke up sunday morning (damn halloween weekend, but you can't resist a girl in a silk nightgown and her friend the firefighter, right?) developing a pretty bad cough. Bombed it with 30k vit D and a full nights sleep sunday, monday, and tuesday, and here I am, not a single serious symptom and now feeling completely recovered while most everyone else suffers through it for a week or even two and misses class. | ||

From what I understand deadlift is commonly the least affected lift while squat is affected the most, though this obviously depends on bodytype. This is also possibly one of the reasons why most people have a higher deadlift than squat, but if you look at the higher level powerlifters, a higher squat than deadlift seems pretty common. So don't be too discouraged and keep lifting heavy  . | ||

I should really start trying that out. Do you have some tips besides tuna that goes well with it? I am really not much into tuna. Well, I like to cook so I will figure something out anyway. Yeah it's great, there's not much else in there so it's an easy way to get some extra protein. The taste took some getting used to but it's not too bad. You can also add fruit or (cashew)nuts to make it a bit less plain. I don't really like the taste of tuna either but I just throw the tuna through the quark, mix it and chow down. Makes it taste a bit better atleast :p. | ||

I did my first 4 sets of squats and my back was feeling pretty good. So I went for my top set and got it - 192.5kg x 3 I find that I get the triples fairly easily but whenever I have to go for 5 reps my form starts to break down (on the last 2 reps). I think its also mental. The fact that its 5 reps psyches me out a bit. Also hit 105kg x 3 bench Finished up with some barbell rows and bicep curls. | ||

Very impressive stuff!! I squat high bar. Always done it that way. Few people have recommended that I swap to low bar as I would be able add more weight. On my lower sets I try to go as deep as possible. For my top set I'm just below parallel. I've got a few old videos (180 x 3 squat and 165 x 5 deadlift I can post if you want?). I'm sure you would rather see some more recent ones though so I'll film a few things next week. Maybe my 197.5 x 3 attempt. (pressure is on to get it now!....) After I stall on everything I'll take a few days off and go in to test my 1 rep max on everything and I'll definitely be filming all of them. | ||

Hehe its exactly the same for me. 5 reps at your max is just so mentally (and physically) exhausting... 3 reps is much easier somehow | ||

those are bitches. Went to the gym, and had the same pain in my abductors from last last week. Said fuck it, and worked through a 92kg front squat 3x5 set. I felt like I was the fucking kind of the world, and people were like "wow dude, you're so strong" and I was like "Thank God I'm injured, if I wasn't I'd be owning bitches". so yay! :D I did however, rice it up yesterday, and I feel a lot better today, will do it again tonight and see how I wake up tomorrow. .I didn't weight myself today, but I don't feel heavier. Even tho I have lost quite the belly fat. Anyways, gogo I want to be 80kg again. :D! | ||

Piss off. Make it 245kg. And just because my team is incapable of winning a game doesn't mean I am..hence why I got invited to play in the D1 men's playoffs come spring :D | ||
