Initiated tonight. my lift is going to be SHIT in the morning. Formal tomorrow, and a shit load of review sunday so I can't even just put it off a day, At least I can use gluten as an excuse to drink liquor instead of beer?
Also, I want to have Dat pump for formal. Exercises to throw in at the end of my lift? I'm doing squats, power cleans, ohp and chinups. and I should lift like ~1 hour before I go out?
Go beastmode and set a PR. That's how I get mah pump. Although sometimes (read quite often) my body just kinda shuts down after lifting, it takes a lot out of me. I'd just pop a red-bull imo.

Thanks a lot guys, looking forward to next session to put it into practise.
One victory I had today was I went to the gym just to play some badminton and they had a big thick climbing rope. Powered straight up it, just arms. Chicks loved it, lots of bicep poking. Pretty sure I couldn't do that before I went to the gym.

For the power clean
1. Get into a set position first. Lower those hips, keep your back arched and look forward.
2. Intial pull off the ground is to keep that same back angle and drive through your heels.
3. scoop the bar into your body after the bar past your knees.
4. once bar gets to the upper thigh, drive with your hips
5. Once you drive with your hips, drop under the bar and get your elbows as high as possible to receive the bar onto your shoulders.
Thanks for these tips, I was doing power cleans same way as andy did. That's why stopped doing them this week and wanted to change to pull ups instead. 3th and 4th points were something that I skipped.

You may want to practice cleaning from just the hang position to work on those parts.

Might also consider watching the video on how to clean by californiastrength! I felt those were really educational, Zafrumi linked them here not long ago.
Theres 3 parts on how to clean and they are all really detailed.

Hit 115 snatch and then had a shitty and a good attempt at 118 but missed both. Missed weight by .7 lols. CJ in about 2 hours should go better.

Come on decaf! Bring out the inner dragon and pearl like never before!

I just spent the past 30+ hours in bed with food poisoning. Haven't been able to keep down anything solid. I just managed to eat a single cracker, success! I'm curious as to how pathetic my workout on monday is going to be...

Can anyone bump the inner dragon article again?

People here don't talk enough for what working out will do for your sex! Yesterday, best I've ever had. We came to my house, going to watch a movie, a she was jumping over me after an all of 5 minutes. And what better way to get from the couch to the bedroom, than picking her up (her legs around my waist and fucking while walking to the bedroom  . Going for almost an hour and my girlfriend unable to keep her hands off of me. It's also a great feeling of confidence, not having to worry if you are satisfying her, or if she's happy because you know she is. The confidence is great.
Totally pumped to go the the gym today. Such a visible goal to work towards.
On the shitty side, I'm growing some chest hair, doesn't make me happy T__T.
Also, I got my contacts on thursday. Holy shit, if you wear glasses and haven't tried contacts yet, they are amazing! They don't irritate my eyes at all, and work out to be about $200 a year, which is pretty similar to glasses. I feel better in them, more confidence, and well, it really feels like you're looking through your eyes and not glasses with them.

dude, chest hair is fucking manly!
|
wtf is wrong with chest hair? I bet that is the reason your last night rocked!
|
depends on the type of chest hair, mine looks horrible and I get rid of it.

Missed 140, then smashed it on my second attempt. Said fuck it and went for a PR at 146 and dominated it. Like a boss.
And yes, being strong is awesome. Girls can't stay away from you
