Stats:

Age: 19.

Weight: ~95 kg/210 lbs. (glycogen + water).

Bodyfat: ~18-25%.

Location: New Zealand, Auckland.

I tried Lyle's Bulking routine for around 21 weeks, and went from 84 kgs to ~100 kg/220 lbs(glycogen + water) and now I'm getting back into Olympic Weightlifting in 2006.

This is my 3rd week back and today I tried to do my 1RMs for Snatch and Clean/Jerk.

Results:

Snatch: 100 kg. (Full Snatch), RPE: 4/5;

Clean/Jerk: 110 kg. (A solid power clean and a solid jerk). RPE: 3.5/5;

Could not test my 1RM on this for a couple of reasons. 1. I managed to rip both of my hands under my little finger so now I have 1 bloody blister, size of my fuckin' thumb, on each hand. 2. Didn't want to get injured. If I had to estimate I'd say it's around 120-125 kg mark.

If you can get me the time, date, place, and contact person and ph number for those local competitions, I'll stick them in the calendar.

Time: Will have to check too. I think the usual 'weigh-ins' start from 12am-1pm on Sat (or whenever the local comp is) and comp itself starts at 1-30 pm.

Place: Gillies Ave Gym. Gym right by Badminton Courts off Gillies Ave, in Newmarket area.

Contact Person/Phone: Will have to check. But you don't have to pay money to watch the competition. Just come down and have a look.

Date: somewhere in above post.

WEEK 4

Monday - March 13 - RPE: 4.5/5.

- Stretch.

- Back Squat: (40x8; 60x5; 70x3; 80x2) 87.5x6x(3); 95x7x(2); 100x5x(4); 105x5; 67.5x5x(2);

- Snatch Pull: 70x4x(6); 80x6x(3);

- Snatch (waist): 30x4x(2); 80x6x(3);

- Inclined Sit-Ups: BWx10x(3);

My coach wants me to try his program which consists of frequency 5x/week with a rediculous amount of volume and intensity. I'm a little reluctant. I'll re-arrange his rountine so my spine can feel happy again, cut the volume/intensity down and post it tomorrow for some feedback or something.

Didn't update because I didn't train during the rest of Week 4. There was definately alot of cumulative fatigue coming after finishing Lyle's Bulking Routine and 3-week Weightlifting ramp-up. Feel better now.

P.S. Lance sorry, I have had computer trouble last week and beginning of this week. I couldn't access the Desktop for a while so I couldn't get your address which was in a textfile. I will send the CD's shortly.

Thought I'd post a couple of pictures from my trip to Fiji in February 2006.

This first picture was taken during a traditional Kava ceremony that Fijians perform to welcome you to their island. I'm the guy on the right hand side in a white shirt with sunburnt forearms. :grin:

Picture 2 of the same ceremony.

Volleyball picture.

On our way from the island to mainland.

We were getting wasted on the beach before THIS showed up.

It's hard to teach over the internet without actually seeing what you're doing technique wise. I could give you websites that explain technique point by point but at the end of the day you have to perform that technique and you will need to hear feedback on your technique after you have done it. This is where a coach comes in or fellow lifters. A way to get around this would be to actually film yourself doing the lift and then let people analyze it over the internet. It's still not the best way but it's something none the less.

Week 6

Saturday - April 1 - RPE: 15/20

- Stretch.

- Snatch: (40x4; 50x4; 60x4) 70x5x(5);

- Clean/Jerk: (70x3; 80x3) 85x4*; 85x4x(3);

- Front Squat: 90x5; 97.5x5; 105x5x(3);

- Stretch.

*Felt a bit of discomfort in GH-joint during Jerks, finished Clean/Jerk with Cleans only.

In Week 7 resume coach's program.

Higher RPE for todays workout may be justified by lack of sleep during Week 6 and probably lack of food during the last couple of days too.
