Decaf takes a day off, what has this world come to.

Also I think it's funny you switch between lbs and kilos in the same post with no indication but it all remains clear somehow.

What do you guys think about knee sleeves? I've been taking it easy on my knees because of some pain I mentioned in the other thread. Well, I just got back from an extremely light squat session and my knees feel OK. Do you think it'd be a good idea to invest in some knee sleeves or are they not worth the money?

Sup gangstas!
I lifted 200lbs in a squat today, twice. Felt awesome. New PR. Proudly rocking my TL shirt every lift day. Couldn't have done it without you guys. Thanks!

I wear mine whenever i'm squatting/olmpic weightlifting. keeps the knee warm and feels good. Make sure you get good ones like rehands

Bench 115 3x5
Deadlift 235 1x5, 240x1
Pull ups BW + 20 lbs 1x8

Also did about 15 minutes of jump rope earlier today. I've been really bad about lifting to be honest, as I've just had one week of hell after another. I just finished up my trimester exams on Friday, and I've been really just regaining my sanity the last 2 days. I did get some cool stuff though, as early Christmas presents. I got some VooDoo Floss, 2 resistance bands, and a mini-deadlift jack because my basement is super cramped and it's impossible to load the bar on either side of it =/

I'm going to really make an effort in 2014. I started pretty late in 2013 and got side tracked a little bit too much with school and a shitty schedule, but I'm definitely going to push for a 185 bench by the end of 2014 and for at least 315 on the deadlift by the end of the summer. Right now I'm just regaining the strength I lost from when I took a break.

So cleaning so much fucked up my shoulder (from behind). GG Oly lifting.

Friday: RDL 180kgxx3x8
Rope skipping 20 min 1 min on 1 off

Monday(today): Squat 160kgx2x5 (high bar)
OHP: barbell x10x4

High bar squats feel awesome and natural. Maybe is that in my new crossfit gym the squat rack has no rails, so I'm doing it "in the air" sort of speak.I have been like 14 days without carbs, belly is gone and abs are showing up, tomorrow I'm killing myself training and eating a moderate amount of carbs. Will do a 180 high bar squat as well (now that it is written here I am comitted)

I know how you feel. I hurt my palm a couple days ago snatching. I read that many athletes use wrist straps to counter the large wrist angle on the catch. Hopefully after a few days of christmas at the gf's parents everything will reset. I couldn't even squat today the pain from pushing was so bad.

Cant press heavy, or do cleans/pull ups at all.

Did 180 Squat, my squat is as strong as ever. Once I'm done cutting I'll squat 220-230 for sure.

160kgx3x10 afterwards ;p.

Nice! Work on finishing your pull, it's real noticeable in your snatch that you're not getting your hips all the way through.

My snatch overall is feeling a bit off, still getting used to a higher start position and my feet are moving weird lol. Last heavy day of the year, missed 210lb snatch a bunch of times, the pulls felt easy but just couldn't stick it today. PR 255lb CJ, and cleaned 265lb and the jerk was close. 120 fucking kilos, did 3 cleans but missed all jerks. Jerks felt solid, taking a light week really helped my left wrist/elbow recover. Finished the session with max squat, got up to 330lbs, haven't squatted that much in more than a year lol.
