He didn't even medal, epic fail. So far in the men's only Liao Hui has lived up to the 'Chinese are GOAT', and they don't really have much luck at the heavier weight classes anyway... hopefully Ilya won't disappoint me.

Anyone know of any decent videos or instructions on getting into doing some Oly style lifts?
Would like to get into doing them on my weekend sessions.

Anybody here use StrStd for making informed estimations on lifts?
If not I'd recommend checking out Strstd.com

Nice 5/3/1 calculator... I'll give it that.
But it uses BBB, so it failz on that count.
Mrthingy done a whole thread in it.... Check them and his log out. He's pretty awesome.

I'll have a look, gonna try and learn snatch on Sunday as the gym is dead.
In other news, I really need to cut. Genuinely think I'm at around 25% BF, but I'm scared of losing strength/muscle mass. I'll also miss eating at permabulk levels!
Not sure how I missed this...
Just in case anybody missed this complete falsehood.
It takes a bit more than a quiet gym, but good luck! Happy to help if you think you need it.
Dropping to aroun 15/16$ shouldn't too difficult if you get your diet right.
Know them pwrmabulk eating feels, do not want to cut.

Think I'll have one more weekend of being a fat ******* and then start dieting hard on Monday. Don't wanna be on too much of a deficit to maintain as much strength and mass as I can.

Well I've just moved locations and started a new job so dieting took a bit of a back seat and I've just been eating when I can, which tends to mean shovelling unhealthy rubbish down my throat! Still sticking to at least 170g of protein a day so it's not too horrendous I guess. Nothing is gonna feel as good as shoving 1000 cals of chicken down my throat from a horrible takeaway though

190kg deadlift tonight
Could have locked out a bit better but grip was shot on my left hand

115kg bench for 7 reps tonight. Could have probably got the 8th but was without a spotter so didn't want to chance my intestines falling out

This made me laugh much more than it should have, it's a slow Monday!
Although I agree 200kg next time!
Caporegime
That's the plan! May need to venture in to mixed grip/wrap territory for the attempt though.
Man of Honour
that's a cracking weight at that bodyweight! Congrats
Indeed, and absolutely!
How tall are you for a 61kg person, if you don't mind me asking?
Man of Honour
Mixed and chalk should get you there no problem.
