Warmed up for the deadlift, put on the 155kg, got it up twice, grip failed (on the way home i bought chalk), no biggie re gripped it, bar didn't buckle. Weird, i thought. Well let's rest and try it again. Took my time to rest up, got to the bar, wouldn't buckle, again. Kinda upset now, short rest, another try, still no buckle. At that point i was pissed and kinda scared, another try another failure. Went down to 140, lifted it like 3 times and stopped then. Felt like shit.  Squat i failed in the last set, got in 2 good reps, then squat morninged the 3rd and i knew i couldn't get a decent rep out, so i racked it even more pissed. What a crappy day, no clue what was wrong, i think it was all in my head, i hope at least. | ||

Heavy upper on saturday, figured I'd reset my bench so I put on 70kg for 3x5 thinking it was gonna be ezpz, but it felt so heavy lol. Continuing on my quest for 200kg DL on sunday, got up 175kgx3 easy two weeks ago, so I put on 180kg and only managed 2 reps, got the third rep off the floor but it sure wasn't going any further. Back/shoulders today and I just felt so awfully weak, even had trouble with 3x12 rack-chins no weight, when I usually add 10kg. I'll just chill on 70% weights rest of the week I guess. If I don't manage 180kgx3 DL next sunday I'll be really fucking pissed. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + woke up at 6.30am after 4-5 hours sleep (i swear i am dangerously traumatised - i have the same set of dreams every time now, always about being in trouble or escaping or fighting or feeling like shit for various reasons) went to gym at 7.30, done some squats then talked to a guy about sticking out my bum more, felt bad about having shit form again and terrible flexibility done two sets of press then a light set then complete failure of another light set by that time i was ready to drop so skipped cleans, went home, and quickly fell asleep again woke up an hour later , dreaming (BELIEVING) that i had missed work (2nd day at new job). felt like SHIT. eventually realised i was sleeping and woke up, checked the clock, and immediately went to sleep again (wohoo!). then the same fucking thing happened again (dreamt that i missed work, felt like shit, eventually woke up LOL) went back to sleep again. woke up. went to work. wasnt late. | ||

I've read in a couple of places that it can be good/better for taller lifters so I was thinking about trying it out for a bit. Theoretically it has to do with arms/trunk/legs length. Basically long arms/short legs = regular; short arms/long legs=sumo. I just do sumo because I like it though. Feels more natural. Also if u want carryover to other sports (and powercleans), do regulars. | ||

(just by 1kg) Really surprised i set a PR today..pretty sore from heavy FS last week. Hope i can hit a few more kg at the comp next weekend. Changed up how i approached my snatch..i think i was pulling too much or too little and it was fucking with my catch. slowed things down a lot and really got under the bar and "caught it with my feet". There's a slow mo vid of the 121 too on my channel. @dimsum, update my PR snatch to 121! :D | ||

PR was nice too of course | ||

. Took a day off yesterday and half the time was thinking about how to improve my squat.I'm "cutting" the following 5 weeks to give my body a break and lose body fat obviously. Will work on progressing on OHP/Pull Ups/Front Squats/Power cleans while doing some squat/benches in between to not lose my technique. On these weeks I want to lose 7.5 pounds. Current weight is 170 pounds, so I'll hopefully look ripped by the end of it (ya, I've always wanted to had a six pack aswell) Workout A: Fs/OHP/Pull ups Wourkout B: Squat/bench/PC Not sure if 3 or 4 times a week yet. Seems like a solid plan? | ||

I would keep up the weights, but cut back on the volume though to help maintain strength. Hallmark of reduction of kcals is less recovery, so you can combat that by cutting down # of sets rather than reduce intensity | ||

Thing of it like doing smolov twice. | ||

worked up to a 1rm on the back squat @ 260kg. the bands take off about 110kg at the bottom but much less at the top. It works wonders in adapting you to the heavy loads at the top and making you explode harder and faster from the hole. | ||
