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.

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
