Barely got the 10's for the left side. My right side has always been the weaker before.

CG dips:3x6xBW (buddy watched my depth: he said it's about 90°-95°. That's bit above of what I thought I'm getting to, but nonetheless I'm going alot deeper than what I've ever managed to.)
Tate press:2x12x6kg

Time:50 min.

All's fine and dandy with training. But I counted my calorie intake yesterday: about 2500. :( Should b getting atleast 3000 kcals a day to really start making progress.
 
Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, I've got a very straight to the point persona; sometimes maybe even a bit more than should.. maybe that's why I like lifting weights so much. It's so straight down to the bizz.

Well, as for lifting, I'm just trying to get back my lost muscle (about 5kg), get more strength, a better posture and to rehab my right knee and shoulder area. But now I'm really trying to figure out what other physical activities I'd like to do besides lifting weights. Maybe some kind of martial arts...

Hey MIR. Hows training treating you?
I see a new move or two such as Zercher squat. Also, I want to start snatchs eventually do you know anything I should do or go to start? I don't really know every move you have on your list such as jerk, ng pulldown, face pulls, raw clean, tate press. Do you think I would benefit from doing any of these moves? I have my updated routine posted. The only thing im concerned ab is that I don't train, for example, back on one or 2 days, its spread out over all of the 3 days I lift.
 
Hi there Champr. I haven't had the opportunity to train in long time until today. I'll be training at home for a while. Also, I'm now really gonna make an effort on eating a bunch; 3500-4000 kcals would be nice. Have to get them fluids, fruits and vegs also.

As for snatches, if you can't find anyone who could teach them to you, then you'll just have to read intensely and meditatively on the form. You can find good articles on it in the web. Here you can find a sufficient summary: http://www.fitness.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=51579


As far as those movements, well, if you don't know them, there's not that big of a difference. I've just read alot in the past so I know some weird movements which I find good. But basically it all has to go down to squatting, deading, benching and so on. That's what's important. But if you happen to have tall legs, then you might want to research on zercher squats. They're awesome for us long-limbed!
