That was me, thanks. I widened my clean grip quite a bit and it did help get my massive biceps out of the way, but still struggling with wrist mobility...just need practice.

Discovered a swanky new gym just a block from work yesterday. A bit more spensive, but SO convenient for lunch workouts/biking/running/jerking off in the shower.

Ill try to shoot some photos of some wrist stuff I have done.

I bought a pair of knee sleeves off Hookgrip. Seeing how things feel on my left knee when I squat. They do not provide much support, its mostly to keep the knee joints warm, and a smidge of compression.


Tried them out last night at uconn while doing BS. I am not sure if it was just placebo but it was more comfortable on my left quad and knee to squat. Didnt get any tightness and easily pushed out a 295# PR for a single (but alas failed at 300#!!!!!, least I have some catches up)

285# here was actually "harder" than 295# but I likely was just not tight enough on the top.


#300


Guess I just lost it here, maybe fatigue or just lost the edge to just push it up even tho I just hit 295#

damn! Cant wait to hit that much weight!

Mock meet today at Sunday OLY

Basically how it works is your warm up snatch til your ready to do your first attempt at a declared weight. Then if you make it you can move up in weight and attempt that. If you make that you get 1 more lift at the last weight. Miss and you repeat. Of course the dreaded 3 misses means you dont total. Then after snatch its clean and jerk. A few warmups and then you get your 3 attempts.



I had a super rough snatch day. 170# was my opener and I failed 2 times and almost didnt total but got it up for a 3rd attempt.

Clean and Jerk not as bad but failed the jerk for 225# even tho the clean was fairly easy.

Still kicked ass and won and the guy who was in second has 30-35 lb on me.

I dont think you technically can lower the weight after you declare it but maybe. Sort of unwritten rule was you stick with what you declare.

C&J was up to 125# the other day. Felt fucking beast mode seeing as this is only my second workout with them incorporated and I made a 20# gain.

I also got a massage yesterday and I strongly recommend everyone get one every 3-4 months. Deep tissue for 90 minutes; it'll hurt but once you're done you feel a billion times better and I've noticed my flexibility improves tremendously after it's done.

I really really really just wanna make a video of proper 4x12 and 8x10 lifting techniques. that's a doom workout

that shit is so pricey over here though, but i hear ya

Groupon is my friend for this sort of thing. Last time I went I think I only paid $40 for a 90 minute session.

Hit 300# for a BS single today.



Then coach bumped it up to 310# and I had it halfways and then nope didnt have it. Bummer cuz I probably could hit 305# but there is always another day

300# back squat I'd like to spend some effort on single rep PRs but am too caught up in the 5x5. Also, the new gym I joined only has one rack, right next to the front desk so we'll see how that goes when I start banging weights around.

The snatch scares the shit out of me. Nice work dudes.

If you 5 repping (at 5 sets) up your way to #300 you will likely get more use out of that compared to a 1RM. If you wanna start thinking about going for higher weight / less reps try doing something like squat up to a heavy 5 set. Then up to a heavy triple, then heavy double, then up to a heavy single.

Like for me what I might do is 5 rep 225. 3 rep 245. 2 rep 260# then heavy singles. I dont wanna tire myself the fuck out going for a heavy single. Form can start to cripple as you go for 95% of your max and what not.

EDIT:

Because I am a whore I bought more stuff
