Did bench today. Never did it seriously before, still haven't found my ceiling, upping by 5kg every week. I like where this is going. Having serious trouble with rest day foods though. Fitting 250p/110f/116c into 8 hours is hard. I wish I liked fish better -_-
Never mind. Friday is squats. Gotta focus on keeping my knees out. Also, warming up. Why do I always remember to warm up when I've already done the first set? you should really slow down that increase in bench soon. i know its hard to not be super gung ho about it but itll be better for you to take it slow. also for squats you will get to a certain point where you will be scared to jump straight into work sets because its so heavy that if your form is just abit rusty you could really mess shit up. think of the warmup more as a way to test your form abit and it doesnt have to be super long.
What I meant was that I am still lifting with ease, basically lifting below my max, and that goes against the idea of RPT. I'm just throwing on 5kg a week until I hit my ceiling, which at the moment is unknown to me.
Also, I currently bench almost twice of what I am comfortable squatting. That's pathetic.

Ah, stuff getting better and better.
140kg x 5, 150kg x 1 and 160kg x 1 on the squat followed by 100kg x 3 and 2 singles at 120kg on front squats.

Squat: 112.5kgx7x5
BP: 60kgx2, 70x2, 80x2, 90x2, 100x2, 105x2
Squatting was tough, nothing out of the world, but I can begin to imagine its gonna be a nightmare to add 10kg to all my days next week. Eating a shitton of food so hopefully a pair of extra pounds will help with lifts.
Benches weren't that hard, but my right shoulder hurt again, which means its not healed completely. Will re eval what I do on friday  .

My right wrist is giving me a hard time since two weeks (I have a little bit too much bone there... hard to explain in english, just a little bump at my wrist which is bone and 1-2x a year causes iritation at the tendons there). Barbell presses and dips are out of the question and I am pretty annoyed that it hardly gets better, but at least today I discovered that I can DB-press just fine. So at least now I can somehow substitute my pressing exercises.
All is good on the losing-weight-front, diet discipline is better than ever. Bought 3,1kg of meat today gonna be a challenge to eat it all before expiration date.
Though I play with the idea to order a gigantic meal from a fastfood place some time this week and throw down 2-2,5k unhealthy calories in one sitting. Haven't done this in over half a year. I would have to fast the rest of the day though to earn it.

Yeah, I just got some for christmas, but of course I forgot them today, lol. They help a little actually, but not enough so that I could ignore the pain. Still, better than nothing of course.

Sorry to hear that. Like powerlifting wraps? A pair of inzer wrist wraps used tightly can completely replace wrist ligaments :p.
Also wtf can't stop sweating, fucking smolov -.-.

lol be glad its only sweat and not blood from your shoulders...

sJarl somehow has very thin skin on his shoulders/upper back and frequent squating ripped it to shreds. So he literally bled from squatting.

3rd day in a row at the gym
CJ around 110-120. Kept the bar alot closer to me in clean
Snatch around 90-100. so tired
Finish up with back squat singles expecting to fail at 160 and end up hitting 180 and failing 185 wtf T_T
Finally a rest day tomorrow.
|
Finally a new PR. Deadlift 335 x5. Been a while since I was actually happy leaving the gym.
|
Wooo! Finally had the time and the funds to go down and sign up at the small gym near me. Did pretty well. Started slow what with the amount of hockey I've been playing recently.
Did squat 3x5 - 135 lbs
bench 3x5 - 95 lbs
DL 1x5 165 lbs
Pretty low, and honestly I could have probably gone higher on bench and deadlift especially but I figure there's no reason to rush. I'll keep adding 10 and let my body get used to the strain of skating 4-5 times a week and lifting 3 times a week. I'll be a monster in no time.
Ordered new skates. + Show Spoiler + Boom! Pretty sick. Gonna take a while to break in though 'cus the Bauer composite boot is super stiff. I'm excited though.
Let's see how bad DOMS hits me tomorrow afternoon when I go back on the ice.

fuck need to sleep but I haven't eaten even close to enough today. Sitting at 1600-1700 cals for a workout day.
This is what I get for working out at 8 PM >_<;;
Don't have much time since I leave for work at 7-7:30 AM and come back at 7:30-8 PM. I need to start going to the gym at 6 in the morning
haha man my diet troubles are so hilarious. I'm constantly starving on my rest days and never hungry during my training days

You know, I have been trying to stay positive about resolutioners. I love the idea of gyms makin money and people gettin fit. But today i go into the gym to find out some members came in late at night (24 hr fitness) and slashed all the balance balls with a knife and stole a bunch of the dumbbells... WHO DOES THAT?!?!?
(i have never wished my keyboard had an interrobang key more)

Wow! Never heard of that before. Slashing the balance balls and stealing dumb-bells sounds like someone wants to keep the resolutioners OUT in my opinion. Whatever the reason that still sucks
I was a little worried that the small gym I found would be packed with the new year crowd but thankfully I was only half correct. The spin classes and treadmills are all filled up but I never touch that stuff anyway. I did get a whole bunch of idiots congregating in the far corner (the corner with the squat cages) while waiting for a room to open for a class. I was doing my deadlifts and they were all just walking around aimlessly behind me. Guess I gotta get used to that, it's not a big gym after all and I'm just thankful there's real barbells there. But man I'd be reaaaaalllly nervous if some idiot tried to walk behind me while I was doing squats or powercleans.
edit:/ Slight vocabulary correction. It's not a "cage" as I said above. Not a power cage like if I fuck up then the barbell will still be within the steel frame. It's really a rack that I have to shoulder the bar and step backward out of, and into the flow of traffic.

Weight goals -- Lose 130-150lbs. Down from 355 during summer 2011 currently.

Nutrition goals -- Stay around 2000 calories a day while drinking mostly water and lowering sodium intake.

It is normally better to do it the other way around. Your lifting-performance suffers after longer cardio sessions, not su much the other way around (and when you are doing cardio for weight loss, the performance aspect doesn't really matter, but lifting heavier is always better). Good luck to you, you are in a similar weight-range as me, so I am curious to see your results.
Thanks. I read through some of the stickies here and I'll definitely look into doing weight lifting as a main exercise. I've never really done any before is my only worry. Seems like everyone here is pretty good at it though! From the looks of it I should think of buying Starting Strength and giving it a good read through. I just never thought weight loss came from weight lifting. Thanks for the info. Any PM's would be appreciated to help a newbie.
Also a question. I think I saw it answered but just to make sure. Free weights > machines?

Very much so, if you listen to pretty much anyone who's not on TV-SHOP.

For me, meat is easy. Meat goes in mouth, is delicious. Also, potatoes. Meat and potatoes. But eating that amount of pretty much anything else is a chore T.T

weight loss comes from eating less  lifting weights will help your body composition, i.e. make you look athletic and sexy!
and dont worry, its not that hard (well, olympic weightlifting is, but strength training isnt really). most of the movements like the squat and the deadlift feel kind of natural (thats what makes them such good exercises).
just watch tons of youtube videos, make sure you feel confortable with your form before moving too much weight and check with us if you have any questions about your technique.
and yes, machines are shite. stay away from them unless you have a very specific reason to isolate one part of your body (like for rehab purposes etc.)

I can understand people wanting to slash balance balls tbh but stealing dumbbells is just... dumb!

Great day at the gym today.
Me and my friends from P.E.T.D. liberated a bunch of dumbbells from torture house nearby.
Sadly a few of them where to far gone. They cold hardly stay on the ground by them selfes if you bounced them.
Had to mercy kill those.
But nothing beats the sight of caged dumbbells lying and rolling around with freeweights in the wild.
