wait, so you'll be lifting three consecutive days or just Tuesday and Thursday? that's great you have someone to coach you! I'm jealous!

[Talyn]

Thanks I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes me.

Just training on the Tuesday and Thursday, I ditched the Wednesday class as it was just olympic lifting and I wouldn't be able to free-roam the gym.

[JP]

but olympic lifting is THE BEST type of lifting!!!!

no need for much else, barbell, bumper plates, and a sturdy floor

[Talyn]

but olympic lifting is THE BEST type of lifting!!!!

Well, if I decide to do olympic lifting, I'd be in good hands, Giles Greenwood is the head coach.

Let me have a go at powerlifting, fail miserably, then come crawling back asking you for pointers

[JP]

weightlifters can powerlift, but powerlifters cant weightlift.

It's good to see you're back into it, my new favourite training log.

I miss the MVS lifting by the way.

Me too. You guys should still do some MVS training every now and then!

Is this a program you've been given? Are you doing both Oly and PL?

[JP]

so many fucking sets man! You are not using a lot of time to rest inbetween then eh?

[Talyn]

Is this a program you've been given? Are you doing both Oly and PL?

PL only. There are heaps of guys doing oly lifting on the nights that I'm there, but they all train at the 'other end' of the gym. They have some kind of rivalry going on, I think.

Don't have a program yet. Have just been doing what I was instructed to do... although I was told next week I'll be getting one.

so many fucking sets man! You are not using a lot of time to rest inbetween then eh?

Tell me about it, I'm sore as hell. I take about a minute break in between sets but I get fidgety when I'm training alone and taking a long break between sets does not compute with me... I just can't do it. That session yesterday I was there for about 90 minutes. I think he thinks I'm uber-scrawny and wants to put some mass on me - which is totally correct!

[patvirt]

That's awesome if you can get all that done in 90mins!

[baldy]

Hardcore training! I will have to make sure your squat does not catch up with me again.
