Haha my press will never be anywhere close to my snatch. Hell my bench is barely in the ball park, but that's probably as much from a lack of benching as a proficiency in snatching. I believe caleb ward only pressed around 70-90kg and snatch/cj around 160/200kg | ||

Most olympic lifters will never even snatch 275+. My best triple is 275, but I will NEVER press that even for a single lol. I think that's higher than the most I've ever push pressed. Not that I do much push pressing. | ||

I'm quite sure Igne is either 300 pounds or meant bench press. | ||

Hurts when loading the knees past 90 degrees. Pain does not really vary that much with load, hurts about the same sitting down as it does when doing heavy back squats. Thing is, I have had it for some time now, and I think it is slowly getting worse. | ||

I'm 17, Male. My workout 2x a week, (preferably Monday & Friday). My BF% is about 15-16% right now. 5x5 Squats 5x5 Bench Press 1x5 Deadlift 3x8 Side lateral raises 3x12 Lat Pulldown 10-15Min of HIIT Wednesday: 5x5 Squats 5x5 Overhead Press 1x5 Deadlift 3x8 Arm Curls 3x8 Chest Flyes 10-15Min HIIT Can someone tell me if this is a good workout? I'll be in the gym for 1hr, maybe a bit more if I take the cardio seriously. I really need to build some pure strength before anything else. RIght now I'm benchpressing barely 30KG (without counting the bar) and I really need to step that up before anything else. Aside from that I want to lose a slight amount of fat still, I realise 16% isn't ideal and could be improved. Don't want to be a skinny bones though! I'm assuming I shouldn't hardcore-cut while doing a workout like this, but a slight caloric deficit with enough protein can't hurt, right? One more question, how do you set realistic goals? How can I know if I keep this up, I'll for example deadlift X in so many weeks/months? Would love to hear people's opinions | ||

How can I know if I keep this up, I'll for example deadlift X in so many weeks/months? Would love to hear people's opinions That's a solid routine, I think 3x a week would be bettter if you get the chance. Not sure you can keep up with the HIIT though, I would do it once a week on my last training day on your shoes,and have 3x lifting days. Strength is independent of muscle mass up to a point, at your current levels and age you can certainly make decent gains before stalling with this routine. Don't set up goals, just focus on lifting more weight and with better form constantly. Remember strength is a skill, muscle development is a by product. Don't forget to developa appropiate flexibility, specially for the high bar squat ! | ||

If you want to "build some pure strength before anything else" you need to eat at a surplus, not a deficit. It's not impossible to gain strength on a deficit (especially as a beginner) but in the end it's just no fun. I would suggest the more conventional lifting on a calorie surplus and adjusting your intake after a while if you feel you are putting on too much fat. If you take your lifting seriously and don't eat on a huge surplus that shouldn't even happen though. As far as the program goes, conventional wisdom is that deadlifting every other day (on top of squats) would be too much. But that's really something you should find out for yourself. As a beginner you can probably get away with it and still recover. Personally I would find it a bit boring that's why alternate squats / front squats and DL / cleans and rows. The important part is that you have the big lifts in there though. | ||
