Pretty much trying to cover any distance from 10m-100m as fast as humanly possible and just being as explosive as i can. I think i'm gonna try to pack on as much strength as i can over the next couple months and somewhere around feb start hitting plyometrics/explosive shit/sprints&conditioning. I found a crossfit near me which i'm gonna check out (75$/month though for 3/week, pretty brutal compared to my gym for 200/year T_T) and send an e-mail to the near by oly lifting club On November 14 2010 23:19 Advocado wrote: I have just recently moved to a new apartment and I really like it here. It has everything that I need. A fitness center basically next door and I want to start training correctly and with form The problem: It's a fitness center full of a bunch really big guys. In comparison to me at least, I'm 175 cm and weigh about 65-70kg. How the hell do I get myself to check in there and go do squats with little weight and not feel like a complete idiot the first few times I fail bench press and nearly kill myself? Overdose of social anxiety I know, but I want a physical shape form. Don't worry. I think its a lot more important of how and what you do as opposed to how much. Good lifters will be glad to see someone getting into it and others will probably be too concerned with how their bicep pump is going to give a fuck. Plus, you'll have explosive gains and be putting up noticeable weight in no time.

T_T Eshlow/other people here probably could have given you a way better diet fo free. Congrats on the weight loss though! 18 pound seems a bit fast, i think 1-2 pounds/week is safer?

Today I had bench, front squat, and deadlift, but since the squat rack was taken for a while with some guy doing some ... thing .. like a row ... I decided to work in some weighted dips, dumbbell bench presses, and a few curls. Feeling good right now, although I tried to deadlift 160kg and could only do it twice. I guess pneumonia really took its toll on me. I guess now is as good of a time as any to deload my deadlift too, although I'm only going to be doing it once every other week. Also, hard question: at what body fat percentage does your waist size stay pretty much the same? My ultimate goal is to maintain an 8-12% bodyfat percentage year round, but I want to get a custom suit tailored to fit me perfectly. If I cut down to 10% or so, would it be reasonable to say that I'll be able to fit in the same suit at 8%, 12%, or even 13-14%? Ugh pneumonia. Sounds terrible. I find at 8-9 (where i think i am now? guesstimating) shit is noticeably loser than me than when i was around 12-14. But nothing a belt probably can't fix. Also depends on your individual build. | ||

Took one week off because I was busy doing interviews, and my bench numbers got massacred. I was very close to doing 5x3 (something like 5-5-4) at 195, and today, I was only able to do 4x3 at 185. | ||

I finished my first half marathon last month, next in spring is going to be my first full marathon, later in the summer of 2011 is my first trail ultra marathon (67km). And in autumn 2011 is a 100k ultra. Motivation is super high right now. Wow...keep it up man! | ||

Yeah but i want to squat/bench/OHP at least twice a week ^_^ I may do 5/3/1 for eveything later if i stall out on the chart i'm following. I'm just not sure if i wanna DL on it again because its pretty brutal. I had pretty solid gains doing it over the summer though. | ||

5/3/1 Bench and accessory OHP and squats 5/3/1 OHP and accessory bench and squats Then you could always try Smolov (for squat) or Coan-Philipi (for deadlift) | ||
