1st meet peaking log

[flpl88]

I'm a 181 as well and burned out doing the Lilliebridge method. Found it better to self program. Although mainly I've just been focusing on my dead lately with everything else being secondary

my knees are always rough for couple days after these. I will be stopping ext's, thanks! As far as the grip what can I do to work on getting into position? I always have to use straps or cross armed grip, my wrists don't seem to be mobile enough get the clean grip

If you're finding it difficult to get into position with a clean (Oly) grip.... widen your grip. Yup, bring it out. That will make it MUCH easier to keep your elbows up and keep the bar in proper placement. The Oly grip will make it easier to keep your chest up which is essential.

Terrific help in here!

Good luck! I want to see you smash it at the meet. Also, upright rows and leg extensions suck. I feel that they are not good for you.

When you say burned out, do you mean your progress stalled or you got tired of the program?

The percentages or intensity of the program can be a bit much for some people. I glanced at it and can say it's not for me. I tend to keep my training at 60 to 80%. I wouldn't want to get out of bed with the number of singles they have you do.

Thanks pawg, I'm really looking forward to giving it my all and doing things I never thought possible!

Pretty much what POB said. I wasn't recovering fast enough. The layout looked appealing but it just wasn't for me

Yea that's what I was thinking. I was wondering if it was just me though. I like the idea of the setup, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't recover fast enough. For some reason, I recover really slow on the compound lifts. No clue why.

I loved it my first found with it. It fits me well and I made excellent progress

Hell yea!!! I haven't been able to bench at all last 6 months and not in over a yr without pain. I felt it a tiny bit on last set and just stopped. the power is still there, If I can work this in even a few more times I may end up with a respectable total! I'm sure the coaching will do me wonders, so looking forward to the next 10 wks!
