move up to 145 *5 as 140 was surprisingly easy with mixed grip. Can definitely reassess goal to 160 being 2xbw currently.

feels like my last back off is starting to pay di

Not really happy with this session. Felt really inflexible and had no power. Did the 122.5 squats but didn’t get enough depth plus tried 140 on deads but wasn’t going anywhere.

Did a few 24kg kettlebell snatches today. Definitely notice the extra power in the legs. My first one the bell almost flew out of my hand as I obviously put too much into it.

Congratulations on the PR!
What does your nutrition look like to keep fuelled up for starting strength?

Thanks!

To be honest I don’t track food or calories and just eat when I’m hungry. Unfortunately, I hungry most of the time! But also haven’t really gained any weight so there must be some body recomp going on. I generally eat pretty healthy breakfast is pretty much always porridge with protein and a banana. I don’t drink milk as lactose intolerant so a gallon of milk a day is out. Weekday lunches are the night before’s dinner which will be say meat, rice and salad. Snacks are nuts, fruit, toast or a protein shake.

Sorry, probably not that much help. Could probably stand to lose 5 kgs just because how I’m built but enjoy eating.

That's fair enough, I was mostly interested in how you're approaching it, as the program seems to be a bit hard to recover from without eating loads of food

I’ve realise now that I’ve actually been doing it less than the recommended 3 times per week lately given that it’s Christmas season so that has probably worked in my favour. My 120kg squats looked a lot better last night than the ones a few weeks ago when I was pushing it more. Have definitely been sleeping a bit more too.
 
First workout of 2020 done.
28 kg snatches emom 20 mins* 5 alternating hands.
Plus 6 TGU at 32 kgs for a grind.

Away for another week in a couple of days so just getting some movement in. Will be back on starting strength but think I might just do days a week a fill the rest up with these style workouts as they are simple, fun and short.

Happy New Year everyone.
 
Simple and sinister style

32kg 10*10 swings with two hands emom

32kg *10 TGU emom apart from 1.5 cycle for last two.

very humid ie pouring outside so unbelievably sweaty afterwards.
