fast lifts slow food


Recommended Posts

That cronometer site looks really interesting, I might do a trial week just to see if I'm missing out, or going overboard on any vitamins or minerals.

 

I enjoy some olympic lifting too, although I'm nowhere near your standard. I'll keep an eye on this journal for inspiration.

Hey Guys thanks for the comments, very much appreciated.

 

I've been very busy this last while and will be very busy the next two weeks but while I have a chance I'll update the log some bit

C.O. The site I'm analysing the nutrition on is http://cronometer.com/ I don't really track(cos I don't log it daily) as so much I use it to see what I am lacking

The values are % of minimum and then when red appears you have exceeded the recommended daily allowance

Yesterday I was super lazy and had beans and rice for the three meals!

This was great for lysine but not so great for selenium. Vitamin E and Calcium weren't that great either. Actually anyone have any ideas for vitamin E I'm finding that quite hard

I ate too much Manganese, magnesium, folate, fiber and sodium. But I've looked thoroughly on the net and found no evidence of people overdosing on vitamins and minerals from plants. Also the fiber and philates(spelling) reduce absorption, either that or I'm growing a tumor(folates) and building up mineral toxicity! lets hope not!

 

On the positive side my omega ratio has improved and I'm eating more lysine(not really that much fun and I'm doubtful of any real benefit)

 

The two kilos have already gone on, mostly fat, I'm putting that down to the extra beans(rice) and rice(reduce wind)

Training wise I tested my maxes on Friday and got a 65kg snatch and a 80kg clean and Jerk

AndiMoris thanks for the props but really I'm still a rank beginner, I've got a real long way to go.

From this week on I've started training at lunch times rather than afternoons as it is really eating into my college time too much

I'm aiming for 40mins Mon -Friday and ~2hrs on Saturday or Sunday

 

Sunday was swole day

OHP 10*10-7@ 35 Superseted with Rows 10*10-7@ 65

 

Yesterday was

squat 10@ 20,50,60,65,70,70,70,70 (I'm trying to widen my stance a bit so greasing the groove)

Jerk 3@ 20,30,40,50,55,60,65,65,60 (Hips not stable enough in the catch, Last month it was abs now its hips => Lunges!)

Michalina - Rest varies, from 2-5 mins, I usually take too long, good for strength but poor for work capacity, I'm trying to reduce it where possible, especially on the lunchtime trainings

Row 5@ 60,70,80,80,70

OHP 8*40,1*60,3*40, 8*40

Front Squat 5 x 85kg matched an old pr so the wider stance is getting better. Just need to get it to work on regular back squats.

Monday

Squat 10@ 20,50,60,65,70,75,80,8*85, 5*90, 4*95 (tired)

Lunge (Jerk stance, Back Squat rack position for bar) 10-6 60,70,80,90,95 (not sure how good this is, but wasn't a totally bad exercise)

Left Leg Lunges 3sets of 5*80

 

What I have learned the past week

Wrists need way more stretching and conditioning

I tend to use my right leg more on the heavy sets when squatting

My right knee comes in when in receiving the Jerk

I'm not sure if this is from a weakness in the left leg or just the abductors not firing properly(probably both)

 

Solutions are

Wrists; stretch, roll on golf ball, anything hanging off a rope, reverse wrist curls, overhead squats without wraps, and wrist pushups

Knee; do a set of squats with band on knee supersetted with jerking and squatting exercises (and others if motivated)

 

Food wise I'm finding the higher protein intake difficult on the system from preparing, eating, digesting, and enjoyment. One of the reasons I became vegan was because I do really well on complex carbs as a staple and then all the other stuff, so I'll be sticking to that from now on out! The two kilos have gone on and I don't appear to be putting on more weight without trying, that's great, headache free. hopefully it'll stay that way.

Lunch time today

 

squat 10@ 20,40,60,70,75,80, & 5*5@85

Behind the neck Push Press 5*20,30,40,50,55,55,55,55,55

Row 10-5@ 55,70,70,70 (last half of the sets not full range of motion)

These workouts are extending to an hour! meant to be 40 mins

I love training too much

 

Triceps have loads of knots in them, been under used and forgotten of late

Hook grip on the push presses is nice (helps stop bar from travelling back towards fingers)

Did loads of hip external rotater activation work between sets - paid off - going to keep this up

I just had the thank the person who mentioned the cron-o-meter site for tracking diet, etc. THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for software like that for years.

 

I'm sorry this is a bit off topic for this thread. I really am extremely grateful for the link though. (Yes, I'm new to the forum)
