As of early 2013, we are still in the process of rebooting unto the new platform

If you want to keep track of the relaunch you can:

  1. Like us on Facebook
  2. Follow us on Twitter
  3. Send me (Kris) an e-mail and let me know that you'd like to join the new site when it is ready.

Once we are ready to relaunch, we will start spreading the word. Until then, expect silence to mean we are heads down coding. :) The forum is still open for active members, but don't expect a lot of activity here since meets are currently on hold.

Thanks Wade. I started out drinking 1 liter of milk extra each day. + a lot of extra food made me gain 4 kg over 2 months time. Not all of it muscle :-)
 As I am not prepared to go over 100 kg I cut back on the food intake.
The 70sbig web site has a wealth of info on the Texas method. I followed it for some time this spring with good results.
I think this will be the next progression for me. I also like Korte 3x3 plan but I belive this is too advanced for me at this stage. But only after I had to reset a couple of times with the current linear progression.
Yesterday results:
Squat:
5 x 3 @ 152,5kg
Press:
5 x 2 @ 60 kg
2 x 1 @ 60 kg
Power Clean:
2 x 1 @ 77,5 kg
3 x 1 @ 77,5 kg
2 x 3 @ 77,5 kg
Time to reset the power cleans. IN order to work on technique, I am considering going back to 60 kgs.

I watched the weightlifting world championship in Paris on TV. Awesome stuff and very inspiring. The winner (kianush Rostami) in the 85kg class had 209 kg over his head and he does not even look all that muscular.

Squat:
5 x 1 @ 155 kg ugly form
2 x 1 @ 155 kg OK
2 x 1 @ 155 kg ugly again => reset to 140 kg
Bench:
5 x 3 @ 100 kg, I noticed that I push the load in the direction of my head instead of straight up. So I need to practice on that.
Deadlift:
2 x 1 @ 150 kg, I used double overhand grip and my grip gave way. But the form was much better. I will stick to double overhead so that grip and form can improve.

Press:

Power Clean

I still felt weak, so it can only get better next session :-)
