Also started working on my incline bench because its like 50 pounds behind my normal bench. Played in a interteam game with the detroit mens rugby team, score three times...feels good to be running with a lot of power even if two of those scores were mostly finesse, i was definitely able feel my strength going into them. Hopefully i'll start conditioning again soon, shin splints are gay 
That's really cool. I went to watch Australia vs England last night. After the match some of the Aussie boys were walking around the field shaking hands with the fans. First bloke that walked past had a hand the size of my head and his arms were the size of my legs. But watching them accelerate is just amazing, these huge behemoths can take off like jet engines at any moment. 11sec average I reckon.
It doesn't seem normal for that sort of mass to be moving so quickly under its own power.

btw today I had another crappy session. I'm still very inconsistent with my form. I might be the only one that feels this, but does anyone feel squating gets easier when you go up in weight? The other day I was back squating. I started at 50,70,80,90,100,110,120,125 for triples. Then 130,135,140,140 for doubles. It felt really heavy around 110-130, but then I went up fast for the 140 doubles. Maybe is because I dont concentrate enough for the sets leading up to my heaviest set, but that happened a couple times.

I'm cutting down portion sizes, snacking healthily, doing some running, walking home the long way from work every day, using some stretches and 1kg hand weights (I can't afford to injure my wrists cos of photography.) not eating after 7:30pm, and only eating healthy foods. Mum insisted I have one unhealthy meal a week to reward myself - so I've instituted the following plan; + Saturday lunch only. + Only if I've eaten healthily from Sunday-Friday. + Light dinner afterwards. + Last week of every month it's swapped to Thursday due to something at work meaning free pizza. I'm looking to go down to about 60-65kg since any lower probably isn't a good idea considering my height.
Nice work. Keep it up.

Pretty monstrous. Aren't you only a 69 or 77kg? I'd very much like to be able to back squat 140kgx2 and I'm in 94kg.
I'm having a lot of trouble adjusting to olympic style high bar squats. My best low bar squat with a belt was 292x5, but I could only do 242lbsx1 raw high bar or 270x1 high bar with a belt : (. Does anyone have some thoughts on olympic lifters using belts? Conventional wisdom tells us that the more vertical the back angle, the less a lifter gets out of a belt. Obviously in high bar and front squats we want to have a more vertical back angle to mimic the catch positions, and the belt might nudge and athlete toward leaning forward too much and bad technique or bad carryover to the catch positions. On the other hand, almost every powerlifting style belt is legal in olympic lifting competition, and it definitely helps you move more weight, and they're might be chronic benefits in addition to acute ones in increased abdominal activation. I really want to make a decision whether or not to use a belt in my olympic lifting training and stick with it. I'm leaning toward no, simply because belt wearing is relatively rare among elite olympic lifters, but I'd like to hear some thoughts.

My highest squatting is 172.5kg ATG, and basically everything between 130kg and 165kg feels exactly the same. Literally every workout after doing 130x5 or so for my third set, I believe there is no freaking hell I'm gonne get 170x5 up without dying, but it quite works out everytime. Kinda taxing for my psyche though, the gym management wouldn't like me dropping those weights on the floor, kinda limiting for max attempts

XD Mine is too skinny tbh. She eats *really* healthily though so she's a great mine of information about how to cook things in interesting ways, time saving tips for cooking after dinner, and other stuff. I think she knows I'd go crazy without one junk food item a week though.

Im in 69 but eventually I will drop to 62 since i only weigh 65kg. A lot of olympic weightlifters use belts. My coach recommended me to use it but I didnt like it. If it helps you lift, then use it. Ask your coach with using the belt, there is a certain way to use it.
@malinor I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought it was wierd that it felt like that.
btw hyung we should lift together next semester:D
AND WATCH THIS GUYS! last day of nationals. The bigger weight classes are today.

Hiya. Really new into all this. Just getting into starting strength. In the gym i go to there isn't a squat rack. Only a machine for squatting. Should i just use the machine or since im starting im going to be doing lower weights so should i try them without the rack?
Also this thread is awesome. Been lurking in it for a while. Being 5'9(176cm) and weighing 134 pounds(60 kg) i need to gain some weight/muscle. Been trying to eat a lot more lately too.

If you have a tendency to get injured it may be a good idea to start wearing a belt during rehab + keeping up with proper abdominal activation work so you don't have to use it in the future.
If you are uninjured atm and don't have any previous injury history I probably wouldn't bother with it.

They weigh 105kg. This is the B class 105kg. The A class 105s is grouped with the 105+

oh I would have never guessed they weighed that much, geesh, big musclez
that kyle johnson just looked like he did the 150 but then they said "no lift, by majority decision"
what did he do wrong?

im not watching right now. This class isnt interesting to me since its B session and nobody seems to have great form. :D. If he got it over his head, he must of pressed out with his arms. The jerk to overhead has to be a solid one motion movement. It is a no lift if you press the bar in any way. Sometimes you can get away with it, sometimes you cant since it depends on the judges.

That was a little bit of a pressout. It probably would have passed in most local competitions, but after he recovered he had to press the bar a little bit to suspend it overhead.
