Definitely better to be bigger rather than smaller. And no I haven't really 'cut' for anything in quite a while let alone a festival lol. Definitely a bunch of a huge/ripped dudes but not a ton, people were there mostly to have a good time than show off. Did get a few comments on the first day when it was actually nice out but the rest of the weekend i was in sweatshirt mode due to sunburn and not so warm weather. | ||

Felt like absolute garbage following my 4 day bender. There happened to be high speed incline treadmill session when i got to the gym so I hopped in on that. 3 x 8-10 second sprints at 10, 20, 30, 40, 30, 20, and 10 degree inclines at 10-12mph. Fucking. Brutal. Felt like vomiting and passing out (i never have before) the whole time. After a bit of a recovery period i went to do some snatches because i miss them and hit 60 80 90 100 110(after a few tries). After working out I felt SOOOO much better. <3 endorphins. | ||

I did something similair as well yesterday, incline + sprints, brutal. It felt as if my heart exploded and my shirt was drowned in sweat. When you get off the treadmill you think you are walking but you are practically running past everyone. | ||

Back squat: 3 sets 5 reps @ 340 Bench press: 3 sets 5 reps @ 230 Deadlift: 2 sets 5 reps @ 410 OHP: 3 sets 5 reps @ 145 The last time I had done overhead press was April 9 - wasn't able to finish all three sets at 140. Two months not-even-really-that-intensive Olympic lifting later, 5 lb PR with very little difficulty. O-lifting OP :D | ||

10x245, 8x330, 6x355, 4x380, 4x415, 1x440, 1x440 (was supposed to do 4x440) Hopefully i can bounce back and hit the double at 465 or w/e it is next week T_T Pull ups 3x8. God damn my forearms and biceps are weak. I've got plenty of back strength (i explode so hard through the first part of the pull up with my lats) but can barely hold on/finish T_T Bench 5x5 @ 200 pretty easy, getting close back to body weight! | ||

I hope I kind of come back stronger somehow ..please ;_; my office gym only has american weights, my oly gyms use kilos. I could convert but that takes like an extra few seconds and then ends up with a bunch of weird numbers like 111, 150, 161, 172, 189, 200 | ||

And the weights I was strugling with last week (47.5 kgs) felt like they were not even there. Very surprised as to how much of a difference arching your back and tightening your full body can make. Hope this will boost me into the 60's soonish. Pinching your shoulders makes a huge difference, but remember that a few of the tips in that series are for suited lifters, not raw lifters. A lot of it about keeping tight still applies, but not everything so be careful. | ||
