EPTSquat: 90kg 5-5-5
OHP: 47,5kg 5-5-4 (motherfucker I wanted that rep, so bad)
PowerClean: 70kg 3-3-3-3-3
PowerCleans felt SO GOOD though. I feel like a graceful robot swan on steroids.

After each cycle (4 weeks) add 2,5/5kg to that total and recalculate. I already did my first cycle with 90% of my max. Now I added 5/2.5 kgs. Do I take 95% of this max and use it for my weights, or do I keep it at 90? | ||

Always 90% Not sure if you add the 5kg to the real-1RM or to the training1-RM. It shouldn't make much of a difference either way. | ||

Say your max was 100kg => 90% of that will become 90 and then you add 5/2.5kg to that after each cycle and recalculate the weights. | ||

So you're just using a solid number for your max after the first cycle, rather than calculating things as a percentage. The answer is there is no answer? | ||

50kg -> 120kg Deadlift 40kg -> 60kg Power Clean 20kg -> 40kg Standing Press 40kg -> 55kg Bench Squat I got up to 85kg from a starting point of 50kg in two weeks, but haven't done it since. I will go back to it when I can do a full proper un-weighted squat pain free. The only lift I'm really worried about stalling on so far is the DL because I'm struggling to hold onto the bar for the 4th and 5th rep due to my weak fingers. | ||

Are you letting the weight come to a complete stop on the floor each rep, or just tapping the floor? I re-adjust my grip in the second that it rests on the ground in between the last reps if I fear my grip will give. If you're already doing this, try chalk. If you're already doing both, I dunno what to tell you. I definitely don't recommend using straps as I feel it increases your chance of injury since you can't drop the weight when something's amiss. | ||

beberly Age: 24 || Height: 5'11" || Weight: 236 lbs. Starting Date: 10/11 || Goal Date: 5/11 Weight goals -- less than I am now...maybe around 210 for the short-term, long-term I'd like to hover around 190-195 Training goals -- Increase strength (at least 75% for each lift), SS benchmark numbers below Nutrition goals -- keep calories restricted to allow me to lose .5-1lb per week (resting rate of ~2300, so about 1900-2000 on rest days, and 2400-2500 on lifting days) SS Starting Numbers (post-week 3 in parentheses) SQ: 80 lbs. (105 lbs...had to fiddle with this a bit to correct form problems, which are still pretty rampant) BP: 80 lbs. (105 lbs.) DL: 65 lbs. (110 lbs.) OHP: 60 lbs. (65 lbs...so much hate for OHP) PC: 45 lbs. (60 lbs.) Just out of curiosity, any other BU students in TLHF? Every time I see an asian kid (RACIST!!! jkjk) in the power rack squatting properly, I can only wonder. I'm a law student here, so I don't actually get to interact with human beings most of the day, just other law students. It'd be nice to say hey at the gym. | ||

I was thinking of easing off my constant cardio by doing sprints. Hopefully it counts as strength training too. So jealous of everyone who has a gym nearby; everyone lifting weights makes me want to do it. Living in the country sucks Also, beast skills is an incredible website. Thanks! Yes thats very good for you. I'd try to cut it down to 30sec rest if you can or add more (dont know what kind of shape you're in though). Look into bodyweight strength if you don't have a gym (in the training thread) | ||
