They clean the ice before the thing hits the circle. Bleh I can't quite remember the name of the sport atm. It's the one in the winter olympics that you make fun of. Edit: T_______________________T | ||

Start off C&J, powered up to 225, then switche to full C&J up till 255. Went for 265 (new pr by 10) and fucking ripped the bar off the ground so hard i powercleaned it and owned the jerk. Missed 275 though kept cleaning up to 295 (new pr by 10) and:+ Show Spoiler + Starts at :20 Kinda blacked out for this rep i hardly remember it. Pulled & caught 305 but it pinned me down I wasnt gonna snatch but i still felt pretty good so obv went for 225 (new pr by 10) and: + Show Spoiler + Also pulled and caught 235 but it pinned me down as well @dimsum & whoever...am i doing this right? I've pretty much just been increasing my max by at least 5kg a week(unintentionally, just kinda feeling it out) as my strength and form improve. Should i being working in more weights at lower reps at certain percentages or something? I dont know the 5x5 of oly lifting And is my form looking better? It feels better. Also will using an actual training bar help me out at all? Pretty sure the ones i use back at the WLC are actual oly lifting bars. Starting hooking 3 fingers instead of 2 on my grip. Much more comfortable. Man i wanna fucking dominate this competition coming up in march (provided the beast that took 8th in the 94kg class from marquette doesnt show up  ) | ||

Lifted in the weight room of my old high school today, first time anything around here has been open in the last two weeks, and I had a week of prior to that because lolfinals. I've never been stiff so quickly, but I'm not sore.... yet. I have a feeling I wasn't going low enough in my squats, but there was no mirror to be looking in (which I've become accustomed to) my bench dropped 10kg, and the rest of my lifts have suffered quite a bit as well. This sucks... but I guess I'm ready to jump back up quickly. Certainly have the motivation. As far as the resolutionists... it will be packed when I get back to school. It appears most college kids would prefer to put off their resolutions until they go back, as you don't need to pay for a membership, there are several gyms right on campus, and I would expect influence from friends, room mates, floor mates, whatever. Last year there was a line out the door for ellipticals and tread mills at each of the three gyms I go to. That lasts until maybe the second week of february. I run on spare basketball courts, so it's fine. Free weights had a small increase as well, but that only lasts a week or so. Looking forward to seeing if any of them will stick to it =). | ||

Why the block of wood? I have similar shoes without a raised heel so I'm wondering if I should do that as well. Also, what your thoughts on squat racks without safety bars? I'm quite used to them, and occasionally I've had to rely on them on the last rep. So either I have to learn to dump the bar, which doesn't sound feasible with heavy weights after you've just used majority your energy, or get a better understanding on my limits. It seems really hard for me to feel my 'energy reserves' in the middle of a set, and based on those figure out if I can complete a rep. Maybe the key is to always evaluate the previous rep and based on that make the decision if next rep is doable. I also wonder if the fact that I've many times had to end my set in a failure has had negative effect on my recent progress… edit: fucking dropbox, link looked like it could've worked. | ||

In the last three months, I think I may have seen one student who is not an athlete at my university gym use a rack for actual squats. They're regularly filled for curling, rack pulls, bench press, and the occasional upright row or military press. Makes my workout take MUCH longer than it should.

I've been putting my gym-resolution off until university starts again. The free facilities are just too nice to pass up! Swimming is the best exercise in my humble opinion | ||

I regret every workout I miss because it's basically a missed opportunity to induce progress. You just (rather obviously) can't skip a one week of training and then work twice as a hard the next week to compensate. In retrospect, I'm a bit mad at myself for not starting to work out over 2 years ago when I started to think about it, but lacked the balls. | ||
