Week 10:

2024-10-14

Squat: 80kg x5x3
Bench: 54kg x5x3
P.Clean: 46kg x3x3

The squats were a bit high, but I'm not falling forward anymore. Took a stance that was too wide.

Back to 2kg increments for the bench. Hope to keep them up for the next few sets.

I am still having the same problems on the power clean.

2024-10-16

Squat: 82kg x5x3
Press: 44kg x5x3
Deadlift: 120kg x5x1

Back to my "barely hitting depth" squats. At least it is better than the previous workout and I am keeping in balance.

I guess I am at a point where every last press rep from now on will be a bit of a grind.

The deadlift was alright for the first three reps. Lowered my hips a bit in the last two reps.

2024-10-18

Squat: 84kg x5x3
Bench: 56kg x5x3
P.Clean: 48kg x3x3

These squats weren't the best, but they are at least at the same depth as previous week.

Failed the last rep of the bench, but it was because I moved the bar past the focal point. So I tried again and completed the last set.

I think these were the best power cleans so far. My feet are getting closer to a squat stance after jumping

Weekend Weight: 107.4kg

Lost weight, waist size and brought blood glucose back into the normal range. I thought I was going to gain weight.

Recovered a few old t-shirts which did not fit well since 2016.

I bumped up my average daily protein intake to 240g per day. I was at 200g before.

I will stop commenting on every lift for every workout. Only commenting if something worth mentioning happens.

gotcha. flexibility is a glorious thing, enjoy it lol

my guess is that being able to hold it in such a narrow fashion is what is letting the bar be a little squirrelly; think of it like your foot stance: with your feet close together you are easier to tip over, while a wider stance is more stable. But do what works for you and listen to your coach. keep it up.

I used to take a wider grip. Decided to take a bit wider grip in the last workout. Did not work. I will just accept it for what it is for the time being and focus on the bigger issues.
