Indian Lifter's Quest for Strength

[MazdaMatt]

Indy, are you setting up for your PC's like a deadlift? If you watch oly lifters they start with their asses lower than a powerlifter deadlifts. This may help you keep your lower back strong and it puts a lot of tension on your quads.

It is NOT the most efficient way to get the bar from the floor to your thigh, but it puts the bar in a good position for brushing the thigh and shooting up to your rack.

ps. I've never tasted Jessica Beil... just sayin'.

Squat: 3 x 5 @ 145 lbs
Bench: 3 x 5 @ 120 lbs
Deadlift: 1 x 5 @ 265 lbs

Not Bad. Hamstrings still recovering from wednesday.

In the process of fixing an appointment with John Schaeffer to fix squat form and get my other lifts checked out on Friday.

[indian_lifter]

Squat: 3 x 5 @ 155
Press: 3 x 5 @ 85
Power Clean:5 x 3 @ 100

Notes:
Power Cleans feel weird. The movement is smooth, but weird. Ill read up on the chapter as well as the squat chapter before i head over to Greyskull on Friday.

Yeah budday.

Its time to start drinking more milk. I usually love milk and am starting to crave more. Ill use this to my advantage.

Ill go out and buy some avocados to try that recipie that Matt Reccommended.

Looking good so far, keep it up.

Thank you.

Monday on, ill be adding an extra cup of milk to each meal so ill be getting another 600 calories with 32g more protein.

My pre training meal and dinner meal vary quite often but are still calorie dense enough.

Gotta do work!

nice work indianlifter.
protein and cals on a veggie diet is harder but not impossible, dairy being the key. Good luck.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Its hard at times where i get tired of eating the same thing everyday but i always look forward to throwing around more weight than the previous workout, so ill eat more and add in more food.

I got to give you credit. You're working hard, eating hard, and managed to put up with that Mr. Blink bullshit on the first couple pages of this log. Good job.

Thanks for the kind words.

However..ive got a long way to go to get where i want my strength levels to be.

Im contemplating on signing up for a PLing competition early next year. That way, ill have all the time i need to take full advantage of my novice gains. And, it will give me some focus into my training.

I just bought a pair of Chucks for squatting and pulling in after reading the section in SS about hucks being better than regular sneakers for squatting and pulling.

Going to go train in an hour. Buying some food too. On Friday, ill be making a trip to Greyskull Barbell for a form check up and a diet review with John Schaffer. If i can get the money together, i might also go to that squat lecture that will be going on there in June.
