yes, per month; yes, prosperous part of central tokyo

central tokyo is ridonculously expensive for this kind of stuff unfortunately, i'm paying over 100$ right now pretty much just for the oly platform (none of the other gyms have them)

i'm pretty sure there are rules against home gyms in my apartment complex haha, even if racks and bars were cheap, which they certainly are not.

It's not anything special, probably smaller than a regular xfit gym in the U.S. I took a tour, the pictures on their website are very representative of what's inside:

Yeah crossfit around Chicago ranges from 100-250 per month for 'unlimited' and Tokyo is probably more expensive

Did a mock meet but couldn't video cause my phone died

Squat (wraps+belt) 500
Bench press (wrist wraps) 335
deadlift (belt) 530

Total: 1365

squat felt solid, bench is weak off the chest, deadlift is weak at knee level

Had a good sunday training, took like 2.5 hours lol.

Front squat singles up to 265, missed 270.
Snatch singles up 165, dropped down to 135 for some reps.
C&J singles up to 210, went for a pr at 220, cleaned it but missed the jerk three times.

My wrist is finally healing from a missed 240 clean last week, but my jerk form still sucks, whenever I try to split wider I start to lose balance, but I'm working on it.

More learning to power snatch. Lots and lots of reps with just 50kg.
FS triples up to 125kg
RDLs

That looks like an Oly workout.

ftfy.

Chiropractor I'm seeing is doing a world of good for my hip... he thinks it's back in place, and he's having me do a couple stretches and come in every other week to make sure things are going well. Feels 99% better. Maybe I can squat again soon...

Got the same problem now for 6 months now, and I could start lift about 2-3 months ago aka deadlift.
Start with some walk, rehab exersices, and easy rack-pull

Thats the way I got better.

Like 1leg squats, lift with belt mostly and if you do feel fine as 99%, i will recomend you to have one day with rehab exercises so you wont get that problem again.

GOALS UPDATE

Zar11
April 8, 2013 || October 8, 2013

Height:172cm
Bodyweight: 60kg to 65kg

All lifts 5repsX5sets
Squat: 65kg to 85kg
Deadlift: 65kg to 90kg
Bench Press: 50kg to 65kg
OHP: 35kg to 45kg
Barbell Rows: 40kg to 55kg

So I'm getting back into weight training after almost 2 years of not really exercising consistently. As you can see I'm pretty thin, and in the past few months I've lost around 3 kg (due to studying abroad in Japan and not having access to fattening American food all the time), so I need to gain it back and then some.

I started with the 5X5 stronglifts program this week, and it's good to be back in the gym, but some of my lifts were definitely disappointing. I was particularly surprised that my deadlift and squat were that low, but I guess that's just motivation. Also, I'm not sure if these goals are realistic or not ambitious enough, but we'll see how it goes and maybe adjust my goals if they seem too easy/difficult.

SL5x5 recommends starting at the bar or at least much lower than max at 5x5 so you don't stall to early. Totally up to you as SS has you go up to when the bar slows down on your 3x5. If you're just coming back it can be helpful to start a little easy so you have some momentum coming in and can focus on nailing the form before maximum efforts come. Bad form at your body's max leads to injuries most if not all the time

Also there's no doubt in my mind you can make your goals if you are consistent, even if you start lower and work up.

Another workout that looks like an Oly one. I'm going to maintain it only looks like one, this is all in prep for Strongman training.

Loads of power snatching
High bar squat triples, working up in 10kg jumps finishing with 5x3 @140kg
Pull-Ups

Loving power snatches, really explosive movement. Also loving high bar, I think I'm probably going to stick with high bar squatting for a while. It feels a little like a quad isolation exercise at the moment but it's coming along, doing lots of pause squats etc and form & weight is improving quickly.
