I can see myself doing 300x10x10 with straps. Still, great way to train grip. Also tried reverse barbell curls, another good way to strength grip. Gonna do it after deadlifts on saturdays. PS: Decaf quit rugby, become klokov. Haha physically I'm designed to be a much better rugby player than lifter. I I have the opposite body type of a good lifter. | ||

That is my goal for september (one rep more each month until I can do 10 consecutive chin-ups). I should have been good for it last week, but for some unknown reason my weight went up above 110kg for one day, and I just felt tired. But this morning I am at 107kg flat, so that should help. Though I did 5 sets of Wall-Handstands yesterday and I am not entirely sure how much this carries over to chin-ups. Well, I'll hope for the best. Damn Malinor, you're such a boss :D Keep up the great work man, you're a big inspiration. | ||

There are certain heights and weights for maximal efficiency in addition to limb/torso length. I have great leverage on the Snatch and for pulling but the squatting and jerk is pretty brutal | ||

You tell me not to be a bitch - keep pushing your limits decaf. I want to see a 220 squat out of you. | ||

I've already increased my total 25kg this year while playing the best rugby i ever have ~~ I don't think pushing my limits is the issue here. Also, my body feels like it got ran over by a train after yesterdays game, I guess crashing the ball into 2-3 people 20 times will do that. Hope i get some video of me literally throwing a kid to the ground with a stiff arm and jumping over him :D Should probably get vids of my meet up on youtube this week too. | ||

Sigh, birthday was on the weekend had some drinks for it. Didn't miss a gym session and Now this. Fucking sigh. Should feel good today finally hitting 120kg squat. But instead I feel like I've taken 10 steps back. Missed my goal of under 100kg by my Bday (thought it was because of the muscle gain for SS) but I realise now that was just my mind giving shit excuses. I leave for Canada on the 10th dec to meet my gf's parents and I want to make a good impression but I'm feeling incredibly demotivated now  Sigh. Time to pick it back up | ||

Time to pick it back upConsidering that you've gone up from squatting 35kg to 120kg in a few months, you've definitely built muscle. If you think back to it, your body in March could not have squatted 120kg, no matter how badly you tried. In fact, chances are you would have been snapped like a twig if you tried it back in March. So no matter what else has changed, you've definitely built a lot of muscle. What is unfortunate, however, is that at a 100kg bodyweight, chances are you won't see muscle by just squatting 120kg. The guys on here that weigh a muscular 100kg all squat really heavy weights. It's not the end of the world, it just means that good things don't come easily or quickly. When I started lifting about a year ago, I hoped to be able to see the muscles after three months, be nicely muscled after six months and really well built after a year. It's been a year now and I'm only starting to see the muscles. That said, I look good and feel even better. I also just love the lifting, which is a big part of it for me. I think your biggest mistake, if you made one, was not setting weight-loss targets when you started lifting. I checked your first post i this thread now and you wanted to eat better but didn't have any specific weight goals. You should change that and start working towards a goal. As I mentioned, it's not going to be quick or easy. You'll need to track your calories and aim to eat at a deficit of 3500 calories a week which will lose you 2kg a month. That means, after 6 months you'll lose 12kg which would be a great start. You can also continue building muscle during this time by sticking to SS (or maybe modifying it a tiny bit to account for the calorie deficit), but progress will be slightly slower than if you ate normally. In the end, just like with the weightlifting, losing weight is just a case of working consistently, in an organised fashion, towards a goal. Good luck and don't give up hope! | ||
