nice, any plan for how you'll get to 440? i.e. programming

[superBobo]

^^ right now im just doing deadlifts twice a week (one more volume e.g., 3-5 (sets)*5(reps) + warm-up, and one time with heavier triples, still adding weight for both sessions) , and then im getting a program from a power lifter I know after new years. Not sure about the content of it, but he promises to stop competing (right) if I don´t get to 200 by March. Can add details when I know them

 

Whats your deadlift 1rm?

i actually don't deadlift that often, most i've ever pulled was 260lb over a year ago, but i'm sure i could pull more now. right now i'm running texas method for squats, but doing 3 second pause squats for every rep, which is incredibly taxing on the 5x5 day. i've never been good at balancing both squatting and deadlifting : \

 

you're pretty tall right? do you pull conventional or sumo?

i was under the assumption that squats were the most vital parts of 5x5's, like u do em with warm ups every work out

If your squats are increasing, Im sure you can pull alot more now.  I really need to start squatting again...

 

I pull conventional (at 6 4), dont have the flexibility and hip strength for sumo right now, but it would be fun to learn it properly.

yeah my squat max eclipsed my deadlift max a while back. and thats cuckoo, i can't imagine squatting at 6'4" is very easy, either.

 

anyway we can move this to supermeatheads thread in culture forum. doc i'm only doing texas method for my squats, and TM has you do 5x5 on only one of three days.

What? No science unless you are an md/phd. It's just a glorified momorization/biology class with lots of annoying ass pipo!

- get better at waking up early and starting work early... i often lose 2 hours in the morning just "getting ready" to work on my own stuff

- get a job with a big belgian or french house over the summer (i have a few specific ones in mind)

- learn more patterncutting on my own so i dont use school projects as an excuse to do that

- get better at staying in touch with friends in other cities, especially vienna

- rebuilding family relationships is something that takes a lot of time so keep doing that

i think its a pretty reasonable/attainable list

did these

 

 

- be diligent about biking to work/school instead of taking the train just because its cold or a few raindrops or whatever

- dont waste time on the computer while eating meals

- take my health stuff to the next level (i was healther this year than ever before, but it was a circle of doing well, plateauing, then slacking, and then working my way back to the same plateau again)

- ive become a bit complacent with my current social circle so i wanna meet new people, even if it means going to events alone and starting conversations

slipped on these (did meet some cool people, but all of them well within my comfort zone) 

 

extra stuff i did this year:

read more than any other year ever by far and got a lot out of it

got a lot better at independent/self motivated learning

traveled a bit, and always with something real to do in each place

 

for next year:

 

figure out where i want to work from may/june on

work there

get as much as possible out of it for myself

scheme on some self employment plans on the side

get better at not losing money to dumb stuff like burying bills under a pile of other papers and then having to pay fines

dont fuck up the health thing this time
