Thanks. Need to start eating more, shouldn't be a problem though

Ha, thanks. Well, my quads have been 22'' for about a year now, or at least 8 months. It has been getting denser and more defined but still small. My calves have skyrocketed since I started this. I suggest sprints to everyone(unless you have knee problems or something wrong with your legs)

Everyone starts somewhere. Before I finally touched a bench, all I did was pushups. Got me to 115, but then I didn't know how to train. I only trained upperbody and no legs. When I did train legs, once I got to 135 I never went up in weight. Stupid me. But thanks, I understand where your going.

Holy shit, that sums up my feelings for today's workout. That, and ouch.

2/12/08 Heavy Deadlift/Speed legs

Deadlift - 305X3,3,3 PR!!
Good Morning - 85X8,8(doesn't hurt my neck anymore)
Clean and Jerk - 125X3,2 (Both were really sloppy, going to go down and work on form)
Jumps - 28in. X5,5,5
Crunches - BWX100

The only reason crunches are in there are for football, our football team is working up to 1000 crunches in a row. Yes, 1000 no typo. One-thousand. I'm not used to high reps with anything, so those hurt a good deal. I'ma get used to it, and come out on top. Tomorrow is heavy bench and sprints. Thursday theres a possibility I won't workout because I'm going to Jacksonville to see my cousin for a while before he leaves for boot camp.

Be safe everyone.

Today we went to Jacksonville for my cousin leaving. He swore in around 11:00 am. Then left around 11:30-11:45. We just got back. It was very sad, and had me really mad, but it's what he wants to do. Today is heavy squat, I hope how my day went won't mess up my workout.

I know it really feels good to put that pr in your log book great job...doing what it takes to get what you want...

Michael

20 rep squats ftw
Congrats on the deadlift PR as well mate!


Doing 5 reps of clean and jerks will tire you pretty bad and can mess up your form. Stick with triples or doubles, and concentrate on form. In the clean, try to bring the bar as high up as you can and then getting under it. Remember to get full extension of your body to get the bar to it's highest position, it's that extension that builds the power and speed!

Here's a great site that can help your clean and jerk problems: Olympic Weightlifting

Thanks. I still suck, so I'm gunna check that site soon. Probably add it to favorites too.
