I'm at Cheetah in Bucktown. They just added a bunch of CrossFit equipment so that's awesome. I'm hoping to compete next spring. What about you?

[bchhun]

i'm up on the north side at B&W gym. it's a little antiquated in terms of machines and other amenities (smoothie bar, yoga classes, etc), but for powerlifting and some olympic lifting it's great.

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

Chairy any updates on your warrior diet progress?

[mrchariybrown]

it's going great. I've pinpointed the caloric intake I need on this diet to lose weight at a snail's pace. body fat is dropping steadily, like I want it, and my lifts are still climbing every time I hit the gym.

[mrchariybrown]

and I'm more on a leangain's style IF diet, but it's more or less the same thing as a warrior diet except the feeding window is a little bit bigger.

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

That sounds awesome man

I had to look up leangains to see what it was actually, but I've heard of lots of peope using it before.

My squat still hasn't gone up at all so far this year. I feel kinda terrible!

[mrchariybrown]

how's your training (frequency, intensity, etc)?

and how's your diet (maintenance or deficit or surplus, and by how much for the latter two)?

[Leeacto]

Does anyone here do Overhead Squats? I want to get a lot better at them. My max is only around 175, but my back squat is over 400 and FS is something like 275. With those numbers, I imagine I should be in the 250 range. My shoulders are generally strong, but I must be missing something.

Is anyone pretty good w/ them and could give me some tips?

Third session in a row at failing 3x5 ATG 92.5kg squats (204lbs)

[Leeacto]

How much do you weigh? What weight would you use for 3 x 6 or 3 x 4?

[eversuns]

I weigh 68-70kg. Up from 55kg from the start of the year. Not sure about those other sets. But I can do 85kg 5x5.

[daphneYOUfindME]

could be your diet.

eat more

[mrchariybrown]

more than likely it could just be your form.

how is your form btw? do you have a clip of it or have you had anyone analyze it?

[eversuns]

I could do with a bit more weight, my form is quite good, starts to struggle at 92.5kg but anything less than that I have been told it is very good. I will try to get some video clips of my form, but for now I will de-load to 80kg and work my way up again.

[daphneYOUfindME]

how tall are you?

[eversuns]

179cm (5'11)

[Leeacto]

5'11 and 154lbs seems pretty skinny to me. I imagine that your torso is long and it could creating some instability on your shoulders. do you have a strong core to support the weight?

[NatseOklim]

Can you not just go up in a smaller increment?

[eversuns]

Yeah. This. Still very skinny, I'm working on it.

[Leeacto]

how's your squat stance? have you tried widening it? You'll need stronger quads, but it could help w/ stability.

[mrchariybrown]

I think before we start giving advice about changing your squat (if any changes need to be made), you need to post a video of it so we can see what's wrong (if a problem exists).

[eversuns]

Ill take some video tonight.

[Leeacto]

rolled through the following workout this morning:

100 pullups (kipping)

100 pushups

100 situps

100 squats

16:10. that's 2 mins faster than last time

[Leeacto]

I don't have any pics/videos of me lifting, but I figure I'd put up a couple of myself. At least just to show I can actually lift what I say. haha.

Sorry I don't have the abs of chairy

Oh yeah. I'm 5'9 and about 183lbs. A year ago I was over 193.

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

Lookin big there man.

ONE DAY ILL CATCH UP TO YOU GUYS!

(hopefully...)

[daphneYOUfindME]

big bro.

5'8 148

maybe one day i will have a proper diet

[bchhun]

This makes me wanna post juicy pics too, but I'll REFRAIN... until I drop some more body fat

[mrchariybrown]

both of you guys are looking good.

I hate seeing pictures of others because it makes me angry at my genetically narrow shoulders.

Yeah, I work my ass off in the gym, but I def won the lottery w/ broader-than-usual (esp. for an asian) shoulders

[NatseOklim]

Just started my third week of Stronglifts, first time doing deadlifts today (felt a bit intimidated by them to begin with). So far I've gained about 4kg and today my squat was 95kg (heaviest I've ever squat), all the rest of the numbers are very low, particularly bench and overhead press but are slowly going up.

I'm aiming for a lean 80kg and as strong as I can possibly get by september 2011 for the IBJJF London open BJJ comp. Right now I'm 80kg and a bit "soft", particularly around the middle.
