ive just moved back to huntington beach. i didnt train at all when i lived here 4 years ago, so im not sure where to start. im looking through the yellow pages and making phone calls as i type this. any one know of a good gym that is powerlifter/olympic lifting friendly (ie. at least has a power rack and wont completely flip out if you lose a weight during a snatch)?
i havent been training seriously for probably 8 months.i did start training again for about a month around may but then only trained occasionally(unless drinking and playing at the lake count as workouts).
my most recent pr’s(last week) were: bench 285(down from 365 in dec) squat:295(dec. was 350)
deads:365 but i think i had a bit more (down from 505), snatch:175 down from 205, clean 195 down from 275. 1 arm press 80lbs down from 105. i was at 208 and less than 10% for sure. im at mid 190s now and slightly fatter.
wonderful what 6 months of fucking off will do for a guy!
any way , im ready to start training. ive learned a ton of new things as far as nutrition and training are concerned and am super excited to get past my old pr.s. ive never trained using much of west-side principles and am really anxious for this.
i started with my journal today. tracking food and workouts. until yesterday ive pretty much just been eating whatever, trying to maintain some lean mass. im doing p+c/p+f(heading for 5000kcal/day). right now;alternating between the two. ive been doing sprint work and bodyweight exercises : clapping and 1 arm push ups, chins, walking handstands etc for the past few weeks. im off to the beach for sprint work right now. man i love running in the sand!
if anyone can point me in a favorable direction i would appreciate it.
thanks guys,
ryan
