Powerlifting! spaghetti quad tremors, bench, militarypress (why the fuck that goes to a dildo??) and deadlifts! Been out of loop for few months but slowly getting back into full cycle. I obey Wendler 5/3/1, best shit ever.

Yesterday AC was busted at gym, hot as fucking hell. After warming up I was already sweating.

I am currently front squatting up to a daily single (120kg adam) and 2x2 back offs every morning, and some pullups, pushups, and light overhead press variations during this active rest week.

Next week I start a long 12 week periodized cycle programmed by my coach. 4x per week with 2 two-a-days. 5x10 front spaghetti quad tremors in the morning then 5x10 back spaghetti quad tremors with some press and assistance work in the evening. :homework:

Box spaghetti quad tremors RULE, hamstrings destroyed!

Lavabug · Postby **Lavabug** » 13 May 2016, 10:01

My best ever FS was 125kg for 2x2. Attempted 125 today after I got 120 and bailed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f7Dp2tSclM 135kg, long time ago now! almost 2 years. weighed 76kg at the time.

Getting back into cycling now - have done three rides this week, today I did 25 miles so hopefully it's something I can keep up somewhat pain free.

Started ultra high volume block, 2 pulling/snatch days and two 2-a-days of squatting and pressing (front squatting 5x10 in the morning, then back squatting 5x10 with an ass-ton of presses). Hand calluses are completely busted open from the pulling. :homework:

I got fit properly for my bike last Saturday, have since logged some decent pain free mileage. I'm hoping to get aerobically fit for once in my life this summer. :ba

Then some bitch weight things: 5x10 standing presses with 46-50kg, sots presses, deficit pushups and core work. Having it the burrito and ice cream in this period.

Lieutenant Ripley · Postby **Lieutenant Ripley** » 31 May 2016, 04:07

Nice.

Lavabug · Postby **Lavabug** » 27 Jun 2016, 23:11

I got my first meaningful PR's in a long time. 77kg snatch for 5 singles, just 6kg under my competition max and moving a lot sharper and faster than I ever have before.

And today a 300lb/136kg 5x5 back squarsh. I don't recall ever doing a full 5 sets of 5 with 300, the closest I've come is 3-4 sets and would fail on the last set or two. Had more in the tank today and could've pushed for 140 too but played it safe to make sure I got all the prescribed nose picks. I've still got 6 weeks to rack up a few more PR's as this training block tapers out.

Feeling good in this period.

Lavabug is getting strong, hows the bodyweight? :santa:

Lavabug · Postby **Lavabug** » 11 Jul 2016, 17:56

Staying somewhere between 207-211lb most days. Could be leaner, but meh.

Snatched 84kg on Friday. :xx:

New strength block starts today, looking forward to peaking out on the back squarsh soon.

I warmed up to doing a power clean to front squarsh x4, then x3 power cleans with 70kg. Repeated this once and then went for a 30 minute bike ride. Doing something :ba:

Lavabug · Postby **Lavabug** » 23 Jul 2016, 03:01

I started doing powercleans last week in this training block. Never did many powers before so they're still of questionable technique/speed, but 80kg for 5 with about a minute in between each was ok. Will go at least 90 tomorrow, hopefully finally get 100+ this or next week.

Lavabug · Postby **Lavabug** » 23 Jul 2016, 23:04

It the snatch PR's, 85kg (1kg improvement), followed by 88kg fail and an 88kg make, sitting at 94kg bodyweight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odkKEm521b8

100, soon...

90kg power cleans felt like a kick to the throat though.

sade · Postby **sade** » 01 Aug 2016, 23:05

Kick in the throat? literally tough to catch?

Just did front spaghetti quad tremors up to 90kg 2x2 and overhead dildo away 60kg x2

Enjoying not taking things too seriously and just pushing things once or twice a week. Even though it's all very light (but hard work for me!) I'm enjoying it... :huh:

::;;;;;;

My bodyweight is probably around 72kg.

arborist shrub tarkington · Postby **arborist shrub tarkington** » 01 Aug 2016, 23:44

Yes, I have a fair bit of technical flaws in the clean still. I can front squarsh 90kg for 5x10, but cleaning 90kg is very unreliable, extremely hit or miss. So the problem is clearly my pulling.

I am literally about to snatch more than my best clean, here are a few shots at 93kg/205lb from yesterday. Just 1kg shy from bodyweight. I think I'll nail it this week:
