YABB: Time to add some strength & muscle

Ingediend door NarN op Ma, 30/04/2012 - 10:48.

In Januari en Februari 2012 heb ik een zeer stressvolle periode meegemaakt met een financiële impact die ik binnen 10 jaar nog ga voelen. Hierdoor ben ik 6kg verloren maar voelde ik me ook zeer slap en moedeloos. Om kosten te besparen ben ik met de fiets naar het werk beginnen rijden. En dat beviel me na een maandje zo dat de stap naar een gezonde voeding met enkele specifieke doelen snel gezet was. Vanaf April 2012 terug (5 jaar geleden deed ik hetzelfde) alle voeding beginnen bijhouden, veel cardio en een krachtschema opgesteld.

Periode April - Juli 2012
In totaal 15kg afgevallen en mijn doel van 10%BF gehaald. Begin April met een basis krachtschema gestart. Gezien de zeer lichte gewichten en de calorie deficit verwacht ik niet dat in deze periode veel kracht is bijgekomen.

Periode Augustus - Oktober 2012
Programma is gebaseerd op 5x5 en lineaire progressie, gewichten worden steeds zwaarder en heb enkele fails/stagnaties gehad op bench press en DB BOR.

Periode November 2012
Eind Oktober zijn de gewichten zo zwaar geworden dat ik overgeschakeld ben op 3x5.

Squat (3x5 83kg), deadlift (1x5 103kg) en press (3x5 41kg) doelen voor 2012 zijn gehaald.

Periode December 2012
Ik sukkel vooral met de bench press. De laatste 6 weken van 2012 plan ik een bench press programma te volgen om alsnog het doel van 2012 te halen. De andere lifts draaien op een lager pitje (maintenance).

Huidige bench press: 3x5 54kg, doel 3x5 63kg (31/12/2012 gaan we er voor).

Periode Januari - Puzzled 2013
Nieuwe doelen zijn gezet, belangrijkste is om de lineaire progressie zo lang mogelijk uit te melken.

Squat: 3x5 138kg, deadlift: 1x5 166kg, press: 3x5 52kg, bench press: 3x5 76kg

Voeding

Ik let minder op voeding, tel mijn calorieën niet meer. Ik probeer er wel voor te zorgen dat ik voldoende binnen krijg. Na 4 maanden elke dag elke calorie te tellen krijg je een goed beeld van wat je nodig hebt. Gewicht stijgt een beetje maar niet excessief. Begin Mei de winterkilotjes er terug vanaf tegen de zomer misschien, maar is geen topprioriteit.

Huidige krachtschema

Squat 3x5
Press 3x5
Pull ups 3xAMRAP

Valt het op?5x5 begon wat

Valt het op?

5x5 begon wat saai to worden. Dus dit terug gebracht naar 1x5 en de gewonnen tijd stop ik nu in het aanleren van de Oly's.

Waarom de Oly's? Sprongkracht, flexibiliteit, snelheid, fun!

Only snatched today, focus on form. Bad, real bad. Got pissed off, started trowing things.

Looks like this is going to take a lot of time.

January 29 (Week 32)

Warm up
Stationary bike
Dynamic stretching
Shoulder dislocations
Burgener warm up with training bar

Snatch
Focus on learning the snatch.

Using the training bar (dowel) I'm trying to get perfect form. I have identified a few issues I'm going to work on first:

- Swinging the bar, focus on elbows high and outside. Keep the bar close.
- Front squat flexibility. 2 words: it sucks LOL. Looking to improve my leg flexibility. Don't know what's wrong just yet. I think it's my ankle joint that's to inflexible.

Back squat
5x50
3x70
2x90
5x105

No issues here.

Front squat
3x50
3x55
3x65

Front squat still easy. More weight next time.

Press
5x20
5x30
5x43

Getting near my max again, getting heavy.

Pull ups
4x - Wide grip
5x
2x - Right hand (with left hand gripping right wrist). 1x - Left hand (with right hand gripping left wrist).

The single arm pull ups where fun, but bad form. Was just for fun, supprised I could do one (let alone 2).

Omdat anders de training te lang duurt. Zie het als een "maintenance" mode. Focus is nu bij het leren van de snatch maar ik wil wel niet al te veel kracht verliezen. Snatch doe ik met een houten lat, daar wordt je dus niet sterk van Eye-wink

I feel my flexibility is improving a lot. The overhead squat doesn't feel as hard as a month ago. I also tried OHS with my heels elevated. Huge difference. Time to invest in weightlifting shoes.

Looks like I'm in a dip. Don't feel up to doing heavy exercises. Shoulder/neck is acting up. Tried a few front squats but 50kg felt heavy and 70kg was a pain.

Gewoon afwisselen tussen chins en pull ups,
beide zéér goeie oefeningen voor rug en biceps.
