    Olympic Weightlifting Training with Commentary

    I'd like to do more oly lifting but they frown so much on you doing bench press or other exercises at the gym I went to. Bench press? Boo, hiss, spit etc.

    it is Sunday. Tell us your Victory this week.

    Did 8 chins with 25kg added. Not a nice whole number but an actual PB on chins I havent had in ages. My numbers are finally going up.... As a result of gradually increasing workout volume and calories, I think.

    Does doing cardio make you loose muscle and or strength?

    I reckon it can even help, say, if you have a slow metabolism. Allows you to eat more without getting fat. I do a quick walk every now and then and I have a busy job now, I maintain on 4000 calories. I think I'm doing better than when I was on 3000 even though the excess calories is probably the...

    Which Part of YOUR body do you LOVE most?

    I dont really like/dislike any parts of my body. I guess all the other guys on this forum probably spend hours rubbing lotions onto their legs, being thankful for certain parts and beaming every time they look in the mirror.

    When do you consider a set "failed"

    Stop focussing on individual sets. Focus on the number of sets or reps you do per week and try to gradually increase it as a post beginner. Say you do 40 chins twice a week now, try to make that 60 chins twice a week by december. Make the rep scheme consistent and lift heavy. This is the big...

    The PB Thread

    Pretty close to me now. I got 103-104kg bodyweight plus 25kg weighted chins tonight for 8 reps. Happy with that.

    How did you overcome the first big hurdle in your quest to be fit?

    I tried dieting at night so I could still concentrate at work. I found I could diet and still write reports/read documents all day without loads of food and sugar.

    Savickas tire deadlift WR

    Would be nice to find a wife who'd let me grow to that size so I could just eat pizza and deadlift all day.

    Single Prong Vs. Double Prong Belts

    That's more or less what I imagine behind the keyboard. Some cross between it and the comic book store owner from the simpsons, anyway.

    Single Prong Vs. Double Prong Belts

    I dunno man, based on what he said in the recent deadlifting thread about how deads build up your physique to be irresistible to women I think he would be a bit of a devil with the ladies. Wouldn't be surprised if he has women in all sorts of lycra all over him when he goes to the gym.

    When does your grip on a bar give? What was it originally?

    Yep I can close CoC 2.5 and got 3 within 1mm but need to work on barbell grip. Farmers walks and some rack pulls/holds should do it.

    Power lifting / strongman vids!

    I thought low bfat helped with testosterone is all. And high bf created estrogen. I thought leaner would be better based on that.

    When does your grip on a bar give? What was it originally?

    I mean double overhand. What is/was your grip like and how did you strengthen it? I find 200kg hard to hang on to but I can, just, for about 5-10 seconds. Using double overhand / not locking thumb/index finger style grip. Did some rack pulls today at 200kg, 180kg, 160kg, well above my deadlift...
