Pat G Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 All thanks to you Lachy mate. I knew I couldn't match your squat so I had to come up with something else. TBH my ego reared it ugly head head and caused me to shoot for more than I safely should have. Suffered the consequences the next day. Out of my depth when it comes to that kind of training or testing. Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment

Lachy Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Good on you for trying those cleans! It's something I've been wanting to try, as well as other dynamic/olymic lifts. Considering getting some training sessions at gym dedicated to those things, but I'm affraid I'll love that gym so much that I'll have to always train there. And there are none that are conviniently located Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment

aj_rock Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 If you're talking soccer pitch, I think they're a lot wider than 40m... 40 might be american football field though.

Lachy Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Jealous of your OHP and Bench! Good work mate, keep it up! Does any one else in your gym attempt cleans? Or other similar dynamic lifts? I'm sure I'd look a bit odd trying them in my gyms. As it is, I've really only even seen one other person do front squats. Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Loren Wade Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Awesome workout brother. Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
Pat G Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Lachy. I hardly see anyone near the squat rack or oly barbells except to do shrugs and the occasional half squat. I've seen one guy doing fake cleans, overhand curling the bar up for a press and back down again. There are maybe 2 other guys i've seen who do the same kind of training i do with the same kind of form. haha, i just realised i cleared that bench and OHP wall i'd been stuck at. yeah!

Pat G Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Monday 14 May 2012Title: A mediocre day at the gym.Warmup: 10 cleans@20kgs10 front squats @20kgsSQUATS:@50: 5@102.5: 5, 5, 3, 2I hadn't noted it before, but there is a big difference in the way my muscles engage on a 100kg squat vs a 20kg or 50kg squat. Came off each set with black spots. OHP: @40: 5@60: 5, 5, 5, 3, 2Form good, just not the staying power, if i held my breath through the entire set i could smash them out. breathing inbetween reps was necessary but not successful. Black spots againBarbell Row: @40kg: 10@60kg: 5, 5, 5, Cleans: @40kg: 5, 5@50kg: 5black spots. squat down. shower time. perhaps what i'm eating: - Breakfast @6am: 4 poached eggs, 3 slices white toast w/butter + coffeeSnacks: Starburst jelly babies, apple, banana, grapes, green tea.Water: 700ml---gym---Lunch: Steak, cheese, pancakes, pineapple, milk.

Lachy Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 What does "black spots" refer to? Not hitting the intended reps? Or is it something you're experiencing, like spots before the eyes?Don't get down about that OHP, thats a very respectible weight! Squats are kicking my ass at the moment too, we'll turn the tables on that lift soon though!I note a difference between sub 100KG squats and my working loads too. I think on the light loads you can move the weight almost anyway you like because all muscles have the required strength, but when you load up, you need to engage the right muscles, you need to focus, or that weight won't move, and your body subconciously alters the movement and the muscles engaging.Your diet seems pretty good to me, looks like you're eating plenty. Maybe throw some veggies in with lunch, and reduce the sugar a bit (lots of fruit in there), but it seems you're eating more than me. Any protein powder/shakes?

Pat G Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Gun reply. No special meaning there, just some black spots on the eyes,combined with general dizziness and the need to squat/sit down to regain proper bloodflow to my head. I only take the shakes every now and then. Today none. Yesterday i had one with lunch. Probably have one for dinner considering how knackered i feel. Cheers. Quote "Strength is the cup.
