robert Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You're getting a new PB like every week it seems! I see it in the strength table. Congrats and great work! Train hard and eat plenty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosso Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks Robert. I've been feeling great lately and love increasing my total. I'm hoping to squat 200 kg (440) before my birthday in February. I think my max would be around 170-175 kg (375-385) at the moment and I don't feel like I'm going to slow down any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your progress is definitely inspiring - just goes to show what happens when basic, solid training programs and hard work are combined properly! By the way, what's the bodyweight at these days?

VeganEssentials Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks VE! At the moment I weigh about 97 kg / 214 lbs in the morning. Wow, that makes it a change of 19kg in bodyweight since you started your log with your first post a bit over a year ago. Between that and your strength gains, it's very impressive! Keep up the exceptional work, and I'm waiting for that 200kg squat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sosso Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 I'll go for 200 soon. I thought a 20 kg increase from my previous max might be too much. 18/10 Squat5 x 60 kg5 x 105 kg5 x 115 kg5 x 125 kg5 x 135 kg3 x 147.5 kg8 x 125 kg Bench5 x 60 kg5 x 75 kg5 x 80 kg5 x 85 kg5 x 90 kg3 x 1 x 97.5 kg - should have been 3 reps, but pretty happy anyway considering my max is 1008 x 85 kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sosso Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Here's a couple of videos from Saturday's workout. My technique is not the best.. The first video is a 100 kg clean and the second is 3 x 80 kg and 1 x 90 kg power cleans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-BDdbkFP8Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a97sP7FH6uI 26/10 Squat5 x 60 kg5 x 107.5 kg5 x 117.5 kg5 x 127.5 kg5 x 137.5 kg3 x 150 kg8 x 127.5 kg Bench5 x 60 kg5 x 70 kg5 x 80 kg5 x 85 kg5 x 90 kg I'm at the point where bench is getting pretty heavy for me. Today was supposed to have a triple at 97.5 kg but it wasn't going to happen.. I might do a de-load. Doing working sets at 90 % of my max takes its toll.

VeganEssentials Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I have to say, Sam, you're turning into a proper beast with your lifting over the past year. Fantastic progress, and I don't think it'll be too long before that 200kg deadlift comes around based on how easily the 190 went up! You've got great speed through the entire lift on that clip you posted - I think you'd have had a fair shake at that 200kg if you'd gone for it, but then again, every time I used to hit a PR, I'd try to make a 2nd one right afterward Great progress all around!

sosso Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks Ryan! I'd like to go for 200 kg soon. I'll definitely film it and post it here. I thought about going for 200 instead of 190 but on the advice of JP I thought it would be a better idea to make smaller jumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sosso Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Haha thanks mate 07/11 Today must have been Annoying Gym Cliche's Day Out. Think of every annoying person you've seen in a gym and they were at mine today. Team Upper Body was out in force, Mr Squat Rack Curls was there, Mr Out-Of-Shape Loudmouth, who gives everyone advice but doesn't know how to do anything himself was there...you name it. Squat5 x 60 kg5 x 112.5 kg5 x 122.5 kg2 x 5 x 132.5 kg Push Press5 x 62.5 kg5 x 67.5 kg5 x 72.5 kg5 x 77.5 kg 5 x 60 kg - strict Went home and did pushups. Sets of 60, 20, 20, 10. I will go and do deadlifts tomorrow at the other gym (the one in my videos). I'm not a member there so I usually go once a week just for this workout. As soon as my current membership is over next month I'm signing up at this other gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
