I want to make a story around it. Reminds me of Summer Wars a little bit.
Solid training. Good to see your getting your pump on as well, I remember in sincityiron’s thread talking about how regardless of bodypart and goals he thinks you can only do good by leaving the gym with a huge pump as well as hitting some numbers. I completely agree, and think more PLers should think this way (unless they are training the lift multiple times a week)

I share those feelings as well
I agree guys. One of my favourite things to do is work up to a heavy weight and then take a load off and bang out 10 reps. Pump feels good man. And the pump has also massively increased the amount my elbows can handle. <3 the pump.
==================================

Was thinking about some of the tips Phlegms has given me - getting closer to the bar and so on and also worked on keeping my upper back really tight. Started clicking on the third set and felt much better.

Pretty good session, everything felt solid. Form is coming along.
Unrelated to this session but I am slightly concerned I’ve pulled my left calf. It feels weird. =/
Video:
Looking thick, solid too. One might even say tight.
Where do you start your press from? Collarbones or chin?

how tight …
Squat cleans looking better still, speed on the 2nd pull (ie. getting into the squat) was looking fast!
That is some crazy ass pushing.

@Bambi, thanks brah. I’m doing them from my collarbones these days.
@spar, like a dolphin’s arsehole.
@Phlegms, thanks brochacha, I’m working on it!
@Birdbrah, thanks man
@Flo, be nice, but yes. So tight. lol
================================================================

Weighted Pullups:
10kg x 3
15kg x 3
20kg x 3 / 25kg x 2 / 30kg x 2 - feeling good
20kg x 2 / 25kg x 2 / 30kg x 2 - at last these are starting to feel like they used to
Felt explosive again today. Going to start adding in bodyweight pullups again next week and really bumping up the volume.
OHS:
20kg x 6 - way too much lumbar extension
20kg x 5 - pulled it, felt better and depth got better
30kg x 5
40kg x 5
50kg x 3 - nearly called it here, feeling tired
60kg x 5 - Form and Depth PR from a full power snatch. Snatch was terrible though lol.
First time trying a full snatch in a long time. Felt awful lol. But the weight got up there and the squats were pretty decent - hit depth on all of them.
Back Lever - Tuck
10s
10s
10s

These suck so much less than they used to. Very happy with my improvements on these, even if they’re not really visible yet.
Notes:
Strong session.
Video:
Depth on the OH Squats is coming along nicely Nabroleon!
Strong pullups. Are the 20/25/30 one big set?
@Phlegms, thanks brohemian!
@Samoth, I had about 30 - 45 seconds rest between those sets. Enough to change the plates and shake my arms out really. Took slightly longer rest after each ramp. Thanks man.
==============================================
PM
Warmups: 20 air squats. Also foam rolled and stretched 2 hours before my workout.
Squats:
60kg x 10
100kg x 3
120kg x 2
130kg x 2 / 140kg x 2 / 150kg x 2 - everything felt great
130kg x 2 / 140kg x 2 / 150kg x 2 - Volume PR harder, but still great
130kg x 2
Felt SO much better than last week. I realised I had my stance too wide last week so I brought it in again and things felt great again.
MetCon: 3 rounds as fast as possible of:
10 burpees
10 20kg plate round the head clockwise (or vice-versa)
10 20kg plate round the head anti-clockwise (or opposite of first set)
10 straight-leg hanging leg raises
Time: 7:43
God damn this was horrible. The plate felt so heavy after the first round. On the bright side my burpees are MUCH improved and I got through the first and last round of burpees in one set. Still pussy I know, but an improvement.
Notes:
Week two finishes with a bang, another 10 sessions down. Really feeling the workload but loving it too. Squats once again felt more groovy and the metcon was pure hell.
Video:
Nice depth on those squats.
Do you follow any particular mobility program?
tweet
mafaknn jells of the OHP.
did you ever have a coach teach cleans /snatches or did you learn them yourself?
Also awesome log. PRs erryday. Godmode getting closer n closer.
lol at dat depth. Solid reps Bro Namath.
@Birdbrah, thanks dude. I don’t follow a set programme - I go by what Kelly Starret (mobilitwod.com) recommends and just do what’s most important. For me that is normally stretching my shoulders and hips out just about ever day and then the rest as and when.
@fr0, ha thanks man. I’m jelly of how ripped you’re gonna be after rfl!
@jacob, thanks for stopping in dude. I’ve been self-coaching, but also been seeking advice online from wherever I can get it.
@samoth, lol. Thanks Broseph Campbell
Depth on the squats is really coming along nicely!
