Sorry to hear that I hope you feel better soon.

C5W3D3 Deadlift

Set 1 95kg x 5 reps
Set 2 110kg x 3 reps
Set 3 120kg x 1 rep
Joker 130kg x 1 rep

Joker 160kg x 1 rep
Joker 170kg x 1 rep

Joker 140kg x 6 reps

BBB Squat 5 sets of 10 reps@65kg

Finished with 5 sets of 10 reps barbell curls, tri pushdown and facepulls with minimum rest in between (30-60sec)

today i applied all the ideas u guys gave me, tried to brace and squeeze my glutes as hard as i could, also started with my shins a little more vertical and honestly i can’t figure out the starting position on my conventional deadlift. it just doesn’t feel right…so i switched to sumo and the difference is significant, i feel a lot stronger in the starting position and i feel it a lot smoother. i’m not going to give up on conventional but i’m seriously thinking about using sumo as my go to deadlift.

i recorded 2 of the squat sets, weight was low enough that i could handle it easily so i tried to stop as soon as i went parallel, i also checked my knees and used the knees out cue and i think i have them in the right place. i think it’s a significant improvement from the monday session maybe some butt wink left but not much i’ll see what happens when it gets heavier.

this was night and day better. It even improved from set to set.

Try recording from 5 or 7 oclock and also noon.

5 or 7 gives a bit more info. It is great for both depth, butt wink but will also tell a bit about stance width and knee cave.

Thank you! Gonna keep working on it, tomorrow i’ll record from a 45 degree angle

I’m going to track my weight daily, i’ve set a goal to drop 1 kg per week on average(meaning i’ll take the 7 days weight, divide it by 7 and that average weight should be 1 kilogram less than last week)

Nice job! Did you get a video of the deadlift PR? Squats are looking good.
Also what country are you in? Music like that always reminds me of being on holiday or at my favourite chicken restaurant which is Portuguese I think.

LOL I started to play your video and…

Wifey “who work out to that song”
Me “You know that song?”
Wifey “Yea, made me cry, very bad song to work out”

Squat is coming along, still some butt wink though (which is only a problem for some but I dont see a lot of heavy squaters with butt wink).

I think you might do better with a slightly closer stance. Hopefully some squat gurus get in here :smiley:

No matter what you will have to play around with what works for you, but advice shortens the process.

Thanks for the tip! I always appreciatte them and try to apply them no matter who gives them to me, always looking what works best for me.

This week i used a closer stance than i used to and i think i get in a better position at the bottom, a lot less buttwink for sure.

Hey how’s it been going?

Last few months have been crazy between job and studies, so unfortunately i didnt have a lot of time to train, i’ve been going 1/2/3 times per week but with no goal , doing mostly 3x5 squat/dl/bench/ohp with no real progression. Now i decided i will go 2 times per week and i want to drop fat, so last week i started the 10x3 for fat loss by chad waterbury.

After 2 years of forum inactivity, i’ve decided to log again all my training and i will also add my meals, since i want to lose fat and nutrition is such an important part of it, this should keep me honest:

Following @RampantBadger suggestion, i’m gonna run the 8 Rules for Fat Loss Training program.

07/10

Training:
-Deadlift - 3 sets of 5 reps(140,160,160 kg)
-Dips - 5 sets of 5 reps with a 10kg dumbbell
-Chinups - I got 3 sets of 3 reps each, after that i switched to lat pulldown for the 2 remaing sets and did 5 reps with 85kg
-Farmers walk - 4 runs of 30 yards with 30kg dumbbell on each hand (i’ve forgoteen how much it burns your forearms)

-40 meter sprints - 5 laps

Meals:
Breakfast

  • Oatmeal pancake with low fat cream cheese and blueberrys (2 eggs 1 yolk)
  • Cup of coffee

Lunch - pasta and 2 cans of tuna(160gr)

Dinner - I did some style of chicken “nuggets” (put them in egg and added bread crumbs) and cooked them directly in the oven with baked potatoes(1 small potatoe)

08/10
Training
-Cross field tempo runs (as mentioned in the article) 8 laps

Meals:
Breakfast
-Same as 07/10
Lunch
-Tuna this time with rice
Dinner
-Chicken (w mustard, garlic,pepper,soy sauce and 1 tspoon olive oil) with a small side of pasta

Tomorrow i’ll go shopping, gotta start to add vegetables

Also on a side note, I was living in Argentina and moved to Spain 4 weeks ago(living in Barcelona) and since i’m still getting to know the city i’m walking probably 1 hour per day + 4 flights of stairs to get to my apartment(no elevator). That with this way of eating has given me some results already so I’m pretty excited about how this program is going to go down.
