Congrats on placing dimsum, fucking beaaaaast. Squatted for the first time in a week and a half (longest break in squatting in the last year T_T) Dominated it 2ez since i've been oly lifting. put up 10x225 8x240 6x265,320,345,370. Way easier than cleaning 125kg lol. Also i saw my traps are getting noticeably bigger since oly lifting, i didn't noticed them when i put the bar on my back before and now they're like in the way lol. Followed up with 3x5x160 on overhead press which i've never done before. thank you snatches <3 Gonna try to get in a decent session tomorrow and then hopefully some more PRs on clean/snatch on wed before i go home. Also found a foam roller in my gym! felt awesome esp since my SI joints been bothering me again  | ||

i scored 3 pts for my team egc! :D So I flew out Thursday afternoon. Arrived to the hotel close to 7pm and immediately checked in and met with my coach to go weigh myself. I regrettably ate too much salty food the past two days and weighed in at 62.7. (lol beef jerky) Consulted with another coach and he told me to eat and drink ALOT of water to flush the salt out of my system. After, I beamed straight for the hotel restaurant and fortunately met with two of my teammates on my way there. Two of us ordered a "weightlifters special" which was 2 pieces of grilled chicken, some grilled veggies and accompanied by an hour long wait. Afterwards I went to my room to chug water for two hours while trying to study. Probably peed like 10-15 times that night. I woke up friday morning and just laid around and waited. I realized I should eat right away after weighing in since I only have two hours between weigh in and warmups. So I head outside to the mall that was about a 5 min walk from the hotel. After coming back I just tried to study. Weigh in was at 12:30, which I was very nervous for the weigh in, but I made it easy with 61.6. Inhaled my food quickly, i managed to still be hungry so I went out for more food. My coach called and was annoyed I was walking around but I had to eat. Prob after an hour of just relaxing/studying the time was up for warmups. I never been to the venue yet so I wandered around trying to find the warmup area until my coach found me. My coach and another egc coach were going to coach me. There was only 6 platforms in the warmup room so we had to share. I grouped with the a lifter from arizona, but his coach is from nj so we chatted a bit. After the introduction of each lifter, I eventually started warming up with the bar. I still dont get when to start warming up, but I just followed my coaches orders and lifted when he said to. Last saturday was the first time I felt my snatch was decent. Which is good time to get the hang of it. :D I opened up with 83, there was a bunch of ppl cheering me on, but I didnt look over. Hit it cleanly and then went for 86. This would be a comp pr for me. I walked up to the platform, got my feet set and just tried to focus. The snatch is a very complicated movement. The most important part of the snatch for me to concentrate on is the pull off the floor. My coach always yells "back tight, big pull" before I lift and that is what you really need to focus on. If your back is not tight off the floor, the whole lift will be ruined. At the 86 i focused on keeping my back tight, but im not sure what happened. Either I didnt finish or something happened but I caught it a bit forward. I stayed in the bottom to reposition and finish the lift. Next attempt was 88, i wasnt sure what happened, but my coach rushed me to the platform because i had 15 secs left. But it was because of the clock error. So the clock reset and I could calmly walk to the bar. Got set, pulled, I swung a tad and caught it too far and dropped it behind. I was very annoyed since that did not feel taxing at all. After the snatch session was over i was in 4th place....not bad... The top 3 guys were out of reach for me. Top 2 were in a league of their own with snatches over 110. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1571358162298 The next part is the clean and jerk. I am just learning the split jerk after using the squat jerk for awhile. It has only been little over a month so my coach was a bit wary. He wanted me to start at 100 and not any higher lol. My elbow was bothering me from my last snatch miss. I warmed up with mild success. 100 went up easy. I have trouble with jerk recovery, which is putting the feet back after the jerk. Next attempt was 103. I was sloppy with my clean but it was not heavy so it was no problems. 105 clean was easier but then i messed up the dip and lost the jerk. It is really disapointing that my jerk is so terrible. I can clean 10kg more than my jerk. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1571364762463 | ||

+ Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaga7Cg25ek&feature=related This coach should be convicted of child abuse. Eshlow: I think you misunderstood my post. I was saying that novice status is not about how strong you are (not directly at least), but about your experience lifting on a novice program. Therefore, even a genetic freak who starts at 300 can benefit greatly from a linear progression program. | ||

I've been trying to incorporate bridge wall walks as part of my workout, but I've had some issue with the some discomfort in the lower back/spine. The discomfort usually happens on the day or two after doing the wall walk. It feels like it's because the vertebrae of the spine are grinding next to each other. Is this something that will go away with time, or is it an indication that something is wrong? | ||

I would obviously say that if it's not hurting, go for it...however, I'm kinda lost as to how you can't feel a rotator cuff injury when you bench press. That's the typical exercise for people to blow their rotator cuff on :p | ||

Anatomy is the driest shit ever! Caffine and nicotine aren't doing what they used to | ||

@dim: keep 'em coming! had another lackluster performance at the gym today. man did the weights feel heavy (relative to my 1RM). i've been struggling lately on pull ups and OHP for whatever reason. only managed 2 sets of 6 pull ups today (previously did 7-6-6 chins). should i be eating more? i've just been having sandwiches for lunch (ham, bacon, lettuce tomato) with some peanuts in between meals. i just feel like i'm getting weaker | ||

EDIT: To be a little more constructive, try plugging all you eat in a normal day into fitday.com. You'll probably realize you are not eating much at all (or at least was that my experience). | ||
