Petpre's turn on Greek Mythology - lifting Olympus(ic)

[petpre61]

thx guys, but honestly these are no real PRs since I never tested any maxes for
Jerks or Pulls

Awesome work!

Great PRing!... if it felt heavy this time more weight will feel lighter next time if you're not tired... tell yourself that

good idea - I am going to mindfuck myself

Squats 5x5 100kg

not really a problem - 7kg away from my 5x5 PR

FSquats 5x3 70kg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DN-OqdLiyk

easy


Push Presses 5x5 60kg PR
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11o9Shi87nE

with the "lighter" bar again. I felt a lot better doing these today - wrists
didnt bother me too much and they felt smoother...


DB Bench Press 3x10 DB + 18,5kg

had to skip them cause I was in a hurry to get to practice. I will do them
tomorrow.

 

[s8nlilhlpr]

Damn those were some nice Push Presses!!!

I thought it too but somehow my camera fucked up and my motions in the vid
were accelerated

 

[petpre61]

we won our first game last weekend 9-7. I only got scored against once and
my line was responsible for 5 of our 9 goals. I didnt do anything Sun through
Tue because I was really lazy . This weekend we have back to back
home games.

workout #11

Power Cleans
6x3 70kg

+2,5kg. I dont think I ever did that many power cleans with 70kg but I
caught all of them. Some felt good some didnt...



Rack Jerks
3x 55kg
3x 60kg
3x 65kg
3x 67,5kg
3x 70kg PR


+2,5kg. They felt nice and easy.


Clean Pulls
3x5 102,50kg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98twAQ0eLS0

+2,5kg. They felt like crap and sure do look like crap. Am I doing them
too heavy? it looks like there is no drive in the second pull just one motion
from the floor to the shrug...

GMs
3x15 30kg

easy - however ever since I started doing them I experience this
uncomfortable feeling in my thoracic.

 

[petpre61]

by the way I decided to drop at around 5kg of body weight. I am now around 80kg with
15-17% bodyfat and it seems to me that my weight is affecting my on ice performance
so I want to go down to 75kg and 12% bf. that's 4.6kg of bodyfat
Any suggestions on how to do this with the shitload of workouts I got?

eat quality clean food often ... no junk... some HIIT cardio wouldn't hurt.

Nice lifting bro!

Yep, the basics of losing weight are largely common sense or, as Sarge said in a nutshell: Clean eating. The only thing I would add is patience. 1-2 lbs. a week is great.

Elitefts. has some fun articles on lots of topics. This is a good one with an eye on improving your diet but also keeping your lifting totals up. Also a little reinforcement is good if you're starting a diet.

workout #12
12.10.2006

part1 due to a time conflict I had to split the workout

Squats 5x5 102,5kg

it is getting tougher

FSquats 5x3 72,5kg

easy


part2 13th of oct

Push Presses 5x5 62,5kg PR
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQJ40JqhCsE

I think I got them down now. Reracking is way smoother and my wrists
are fine - I still feel the stretch but that is okay. I am sure I could move
alot more weight on these.


DB Bench Press 3x10 DB + 18,5kg

pretty heavy. last rep in the third set was quite a grind...

 

[super_rice]

Looking really good, much more smooth and fast. But stop looking down at yourself on lifts, and you really don't want to be doing that during a clean! If you lead with your head, you run the risk of pulling backward or not finish the pull at all!.

On clean pulls: extend the bar past your hips, not into your hips.

Looks good, especially the push presses!
