You are not SCGT. This thread is invalid.
I only wanted a 32kg kettlebell for xmas, and I got it. So my goal is to get to the point I can easily manhandle it. It's very surprising how big a jump 28>32kg is. It's a big jump. |

Mostly just want to stay injury free and lift heavy things. If I could lift heavier things than before that would be swell.

But stay injury free. Thanks to the folks on this forum, I've been able to do just that with some tweaks to the form. |

Happy New Year everyone!
Currently rehabbing after a concussion/pinched nerve back in October. At around mid 300s squat (doing paused, beltless, high bar for now) and low 400s dl but 185 bench is a struggle... Setting goals for slow rebuild to 405, anything over 225, and 495. Then maybe get back to where I was at this time last year. Really hating bench days right now lol. |

For 2018 I am not looking to chase numbers or times. I spent pretty much all of 2017 with a demolished shoulder (stem cell injections worked amazingly well). 1. Decided to really take up jiujitsu and love it so far, 2. Keep healthy, 3. Maintain sub 170lb BW (current 173), 4. 405 squat, 315 bench, 500 DL, sub 7:00 mile, 275 CJ, 225 snatch (just because they are easy to remember and fairly achievable numbers) |

I want to continue improving my climbing on bikes and my overall fitness. I would like to get under 180. I got to 185, but now I am back to a bit over 190.
In 2017 I went from being in the mid group on my rides to being in the middle of the "fast" guys, and from 215 to 185. |

...just reset my 5/3/1 spreadsheet with the new maxes since I was effectively capping out and damn, these new numbers are low to start out. My old one had theoretical working maxes ~70 lbs heavier. Yeah, uh not so much...

Having said that CF has taken its toll on my knees, time to slow down and pick up heavy stuff again this year. Working more on my C&J and snatch and less metcons. |

My Facebook was kind enough to remind me that one year ago I was squatting 365, and had set a goal for 400.
I dont think I could put up 225 at this point. Goals for 2018 are to add a ton of muscle mass if I am going to be as soft in the mid section as I am now |

I weigh 171. Don't try to snatch it until you're comfortable with the movement, and I'd suggest using a lighter kb first. That movement can mess up a shoulder in a heartbeat.

That's why I've never learned, I only have one kb on hand, and it's generally heavy.

First day of 5x5: (Mon, 1/8/2018)
Squat: 45x5x2 75x3 115x5x5 Bench: 45x5x2 65x3 95x5x5 BB Row: 75x5x5 25m walking @ 3.6mph Weight: 227 (fat) Squats were hard. I need to get my form back. BP and BB Row was too easy. I might add 10 instead of 5 next week, and keep squat at 115 until form is correct. As it was, I just shortened rest periods for BP and Rows to make up for the light weight. |

How do you guys handle DOMS after leg days? I squatted so light monday but still feeling extremely sore. I am sure this is a regular enough occurrence on 5x5 but im legit concerned about my ability to squat tonight. I am on a cut, but I still ate dinner after my workout, and also did cardio after. I am just going to push through it.
Foam rolling helps yeah? Whens the best time to roll? |

Drink lots of water, take breaks at work during the day to go up and down the stairs a couple times, work through it.

Extend it like so: And insert into mouth as follows: It may still hurt, but you won't be able to talk about it, and that will help you push through it tonight. |
