Hey everyone. Today was my first day using Matt Vincent's 'Training Lab'. I have been out of the gym for a while, so please bear with me as I get my lifts and weight back up to where I know it can be. Personal data- 6'4" 326lbs
 . The weight is the result of too much bad food and really good beer  .Block 1/Cycle 1 Squats- 10 x 10 @50% of 1 RM Bar- 10 reps warm up 95lbs- 10 reps warm up 105lbs- 8 sets @ 10 reps Snatch- 3x5 @ 50-60% of 1RM- I have never done this lift before and after 10 sets of squats, I was more than just a little uncoordinated. Until I get more practice I did 'hanging' snatches. Bar- 3 sets @ 5 reps Good Mornings- Bar- 3 sets @ 10 reps

Thanks Tom. Just working the Training Lab system. Weights all go up next week. Looks like I'll be changing gyms soon. Leaving the Y and going to Powerhouse Gym, where the big boys train.

Felt good tonight. Little twinge in my right knee doing deadlifts. It was caused by my form, so tightened that up and twinge was gone. Still need to get some good knee sleeves. Getting better at cleans.

Missed 2 workouts during the week, so making the up today. Not the right way to do it, but I need to stay on track. Luckily, next week is deloading, so lighter workouts. I will focus a little more on cardio. Felt good. Can't wait to start adding some more weight.

Tweaked the weight on the deadlift. True 60% would have been 130lbs, so I bumped it to 135lbs because I hate 2.5lbs plates plus I am feeling great. 95 x 10 115 x 10 3 sets @ 135 x 10 Cleans- 115 x 5 115 x 5 115 x 5 Good Mornings 85 x 10 95 x 10 95 x 10
