Grats on PR Zafrumi!
Friday - BW:165
DL: 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 315x3, 365x1, 405x1 (tied PR), 430x, 430x
C2Bs: 12,10,8

Today - BW:166
C2Bs: 12,8,8,7
LB Squats: 45x10, 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 250x5x5
OHP: 45x10, 95x5, 135x3, 140x3x5
First things first, selboN's DL came out to 156.359 Wilks (530 @ 191.5), and the best I could do was 131.092 Wilks (405 @ 165), so selboN is king of the deadlift hill! Enjoy the TL+, whatever that is!
Friday I set some sweet rep PRs. Feeling pretty confident now that I'll total over 1k in november, as long as I'm careful and don't get hurt between now and then. Monday was hit and miss, I split my workout into morning/after work as per usual, but I was totally drained after work today for some reason. Morning squats felt great but for the afternoon OHP I did triples instead of 5s because I just felt flat. Monday afternoons seem to always go shitty now that I think about it... hmm.
My routine, in case anyone is interested:
+ Show Spoiler +Texas Method plus Mag-Ort plus some Oly stuff
Monday: Volume
Squat 5x5 @~90% 5RM
Bench/Press* 5x5 @~90% 5RM
Tues: Olympic
Work progressions and positions on Snatch or CJ, work up to heavy singles on other one
Wed: Recovery
Press/Bench* heavy single then 3x5@~80% 5RM
Recovery Squats (light 3x5, pause squats, front squats, speed squats etc.)
Olympic shit for fun
Thurs: Rest
Fri: Intensity
Squat attempt to set new 5RM
Bench/Press* attempt to set new 5RM
Deadlift Mag-Ort
Sat and Sun: Rest
*Bench and Overhead Press switch off week to week
Finally, decafchicken is best chicken. Gosuchicken even. Actually, after watching your lifts I got curious and looked up the qualifying totals for my weight class... fuck, its gonna be a long time until I can sling that much weight!

Since I started working out a couple of months ago, my weight has gone up a few pounds. I think it's just due to an increase in muscle mass, but I expected the cardio I'm doing to decrease the fat by the same amount of weight, roughly. I wish there was an easy way to measure body fat percentage without doing a done of imprecise estimating or having to go somewhere special.

If you're hoping for aesthetic progress the best method is to take a picture every month and see if you like the differences

That's a reasonable suggestion, but I'm someone who prefers to measure his progress.

Measure arms, thighs, hips, abdomen, chest at regular intervals. You're doing it right if everything is going up but abdomen is going down in most cases 
And of course keep the weight log, it's still a useful measurement, just limited as you've already acknowledged. I would just stay away from daily weighings but people have different opinions on that so whatever floats your boat there. I would do weekly.

You can get a pair of calipers.

Hue wish I only stopped 2 months. 5 freakin years here ^^.
Finally started lifting again start of this month after getting somewhat in shape with bodyweight training (could barely do 1 pullup around march this year huehue). This morning:
LBBS 75 kg 5x5
BenchPress 62.5 5x5 (just deloaded cus i failed 5x5 @ 70)
Front Row 57.5 5x5
My lower body is just so weak atm, but happy that my body is relearning how squatting feels, body was absolutely killing me at the start of the month (like having a hard time walking up stairs from the pain) but totally worth it.
bw = 69 kg atm.

Topin Situation Report:
im following (kinda) the 5x5 stronglifts but i messed up the weights so its not exactly 100% accurate but im using like a guideline. Also i havent bought the 1,25kg plates so im adding 5 kg each session so far so good. damn i thought i had a month already but i realized im starting my 4th week... well im already writting so...
starting bar only
BW: 90-92 kg aprox. starting
now:
Squat: 70kg no problem
Bench Press: 45kg getting more difficult but im still ok
OHP: 35kg this shit is hard, a deload is coming in maybe 2 sessions
Barbell Row: 45kg hard but i can go on for a little while
Deadlift: 70kg harder than i had imagine... lets see how it goes
BW ? i will have it at the end of my 4th week
im still adding weight but in some exercises i feel i cant keep up, like OHP, is that normal? or is a unbalanced boddy or something like that
|
Yeah OHP is usually the hardest and requires the smallest jumps.

Yesterday: BW 166
Clean progressions
Snatches: progression work, then 95x3x5
Today: BW 166
LBBS 45x10, 135x5, 185x5, 225x2x10 on the minute
Bench 45x10, 95x5, 135x5, 185x5, 200x5x3
Jacked up my wrist a few weeks ago and it hasn't gotten better. I guess I get to post in the injuries thread now. Only hurts in front rack position stuff though, it's fine for pushes, pulls and snatches. I'm going to try just laying off C&J for a month and see if that fixes it. Bright side is I only have to think about snatches on oly days now I guess. I have some snatch questions actually so I'll post a form check in the Oly thread sometime soon. Got the video, just have to upload it.
Finally figured out how to unrack my own weight on bench rubus-style. Also, I put on my belt for my last set of five on bench just to see. Bar felt 20lbs lighter! Probably all mental lol.

As someone who has fucked his wrist up quite a bit between rugby and lifting, unless your wrist is broken/severly strained i doubt you have to drop cj or snatches for a month. Might have to train around it/tape/do prehab/rehab work.
