I'm not training so its ok phisiologically, but I'm just used to eat all the time It's like when you're talking food with el decafo, and then you get super hungry, and he points out the fact that you should've bought 2x30cm's thingies, and not just one. Well, like that. FML. | ||

Long time follower, and maybe two months or so I made a promise that I would be allowed to defile this beautiful thread with my presence when I managed to DL x2 my bodyweight (145kg) which just so happened to be today. Big day for me :> Regarding Osmoses squat question I'd like to point out that there are some different schools of thought on the subject for example http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/max_out_on_squats_every_day "The following is a myriad of Broz's beliefs: Beginners should start out with a broomstick for 3-4 weeks and do thousands of reps so that their Olympic technique becomes a motor engram." (Not saying you're a beginner Osmoses unless you consider yourself as one). That being said, I still agree with posters in this thread I would prefer/recommend 3x5 or 5x5 and just work out the technique from there, just wanted to provide an alternative source of information. | ||

Welcome! 2xbw deadlift is something to be proud of! As for the broomstick comparison I think it works better with oly lifts because they're such fast movments with so much technique that muscle memory takes over, where as the squat is comparitively slower and easier. 20-30 squat reps with a barbell or light weight should be plenty per session for someone to learn the squat. | ||

You get tired halfway through, but because the weight is non-existant you can just muscle through it. TL;DR if you sued him for retardation he could make a case. He's doing sets of 10, not thirty. I know where the PT is coming from, and I remember a Chaos & Bang (podcast from the guy that does lift-run-bang.com and the guy that does chaosandpain.blogspot.com) which I would certainly trust (Paul trains his daughter, who at 13 years old and under 100 pounds deadlifts over 3 plates, and Jamie total'd 1618 pounds @ 181, without even a belt or knee wraps in his last meet) where they talked about training new lifters. They would have them focus on one lift at a time (squat first, then learn the other lifts) and go for crazy volume, (50-100+ reps in all different set/rep schemes). But they're not talking "squat one day, bench the next, deadlift on a third day, etc. etc." they're talking "learn this motion. Then think about moving on" and doing it for the CNS adaptation, not the muscle improvements. I guess what I'm saying here is that this isn't the worst type of program you can do... but if you're trying to learn to squat, learn to squat, THEN go learn to bench. Also, change up the weight from day to day, you're going to want to work at more intense weights some days, where you might only be able to do a set of 6 or 8, and other days you get as much volume as you can. @Wolf congrats on the 2x BW pull. I'm GOING to get 4 plates by the end of the summer, which should be ~2xBW at that time, and then hopefully my deadlift progress moves ahead of my increasing BW and I pull much more by the time I'm heavier. Keep up the good work, keep posting! Always cool to have more regulars in this thread. @Decaf love the way the rest of the crossfitters just stop and look at you when you're lifting. Wish it had sound though, damn movie maker.

I started 6'3 135, gained 20 pounds in the first three months and then stalled out at that weight for a LONG while. I'm moving again finally, but it makes me want to cry when I think how much progress I could have made if I kept eating. Keep counting calories, don't get complacent, keep lifting and get huge! | ||

Congrats on the 2xBW lift! I also picked up 2xBW for the first time today, 165kg x1, but I don't think it really counts until I lift 2xBW 1x5 :p Today I was just aiming for the single rep though. I'm hoping that a few singles at 5-10kg above my current progression target (155kg x5) will help me hit that 155kg when I next attempt it. The last few times I tried 155kg, it was just too heavy for me to do an extended set on it. I could do 2-3 reps, but each rep would be a massive grind and after three reps my hamstrings would fail/cramp. That's why I'm hoping a few heavy singles (along with a relatively easy set of 5 on the lower weight I reset to after failing deadlift three times in a row) will make the 155kg feel not so heavy the next time I try it. Is this reasonable, or should I just stick to lifting 155kg until it goes up? Just to add, the reason I'm doing more sets than suggested in SS is that I'm resting my wrists from squats for a short while (probably two weeks), so my legs are getting less exercise than usual. | ||

I usually just take a pin and drain the liquid. The skin should dry up pretty quickly after that. | ||

Anyways, todays workout: "Squat Nemesis" - work up to max, take off 30%, work up to a heavy triple in 5-10kg jumps, then do about 40-60% 3x5 working on speed. FS - up to 335 then 3x235, 245, 265, 275, 285, deload to 185 for 3x5 Hang clean and jerk - 2x 135, 185, 225, 245, 1x 245, 245 Power snatch doubles - 95,135,155,175,185,185,185 | ||

If you do it in the middle it'll be more likely to open up, infection, etc. | ||
