Jerk and ohp are not correlated. There's people like klokov that push press their jerk and then people like Caleb that press 70 and jerk 200.
Hitting people is too fun to quit Rugby. Besides I'd have to sn /cj like 180/220 to qualify.

Are you still 105 or back down to 94 these days??
Also, first weightlifting meet today :D:D:D:D (Trident Classic in Tacoma, WA if anyone's from around here, I'm the novice 77 with a beard lifting pretty light weights if anyone shows up  )

lol at caleb
meh, that's like 50kg to your total? I don't see how that is no doable if you stop drinking (so lose fat weight) and stop wasting energy on activities that take longer than 5 second to perform.
aren't those numbers too high? I'm quite sure I a saw a bunch of lifters at 94 and 105 doing worse than that.

Hahahaha I wish I was totalling 350. And I'd have to put up a higher Sinclair than Kendrick Farris, Ian Wilson, norik vardanian, etc.
And I'm around 102kg. #fat

Anyone using myfitnesspal app to track macros?
I'm a little confused. After I typed in my stats and my goals and if it's telling me that my daily goal is for instance 1800 calories, will I reach my goals if I eat around 1800 or do I have to add the ~ -500 calorie deficit?
Also what's a good food source for sodium? Not sure if the table salt I use for my eggs is enough for the daily requirement.
|
I just use it to track calories/macros and ignore the goals it tells me, or you can make up inputs until the requirements meet what your aiming for. I find I have to eat over the recommended amount in order to gain weight, but it's different for everyone. It can be a good baseline while you find out what works for you though. Not really sure about the sodium, I'm surprised you aren't getting enough since that's like the one thing everyone is getting too much of.

yeah I just noticed that I did a few mistakes entering the numbers and now I'm close to the recommended amount of sodium, I also don't calculate my salt i spice my eggs and sometimes lunches with so it should be good with that ^^

Use this to estimate how many calories you should be eating http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ and then use myfitnesspal to follow them. Then you can adjust how many calories you should be eating based on how your weight changes over several weeks.
|
you can change the percentages on the website too (carbs / protein / fat).

'nother squat PR: 130 for 5 solid ass reps. Bulking is going well too so time to beast it up for another 3 weeks of bulking, then cutting to 8%.

45 degree angle is preferable. Looking across the plane of the bench obscures some things.
Is that from the side aiming 45 degree down, or from one of the back corners of the bench, if that makes any sense?
Did take a 4 day break from lifting and will record the session today.

29 years old now. A night of heavy drinking sets me back so damn much. Drank too much Saturday, completely wasted Sunday, feeling sorry for myself, eating pizza to get over hangover, etc. Monday morning I still have a headache when I exert myself doing my workout. Still completed it at around 75% of my normal lifts. Trying to lose weight, but due to the pizza/beer/drunk food I gained 3 kg (water weight mostly I guess).
Man, I wish I could stop doing this to myself. Every month I repeat the cycle of "why the fuck do I drink?" into not drinking for 2-3 weeks, repeat. Hard when all my friends are drunkards.

Same age, same goals, same Saturday night. You're not alone :p

Baby steps, stop with either the pizza or the booze first! (Probably pizza, i know its damn yummy but no just stop!)

I just found out I missed Klokov visiting a local gym two weeks ago. fml would've loved to go see him lift some weights and shake his hand
|
When I drink I eat a fuck load. I can't stop. There's a reason I used to weigh 250~ pounds (these days I'm around 180-190 depending on how much I care about my diet). I used to drink a lot, then smash pizzas, sub sandwiches, poutines, etc. Saturday night we just kept ordering meat at a Korean BBQ place with more and more beer/soju... then went to a convenience store and snacks, chocolate bars, beer kept coming. I would rather stop drinking beer than stop eating pizza. Actually, we hadn't had pizza in a month but my wife was hungry, I was hungry/hungover. It just happens sometimes.

Replace beer with hard liquior (whisky/vodka with diet coke is ok) and skip the pizza. You will be more drunk and keep leaning out.
Leave a 1-2L water bottle in the middle of your bed, so you drink it no matter what, reducing your hangover substantially.

I can say no to candy, fizzy drinks and fast food... But not beer.
