One of these days I'm going to get me some lifting shoes and be cool like all of you guys! Upon doing so I fully expect to get a 575lb deadlift. Shoes can add 50lbs to your max, right?
Do you have any prior training experience with weights? For an untrained person, the quickest way to improve explosive power (i.e. producing a high amount of force in a short amount of time) is to improve the amount of force produced; in other words, get stronger. The quickest way to do this is to follow a linear progression based around the main barbell lifts; see the OP for details. This won't make you slower or inflexible, quite the opposite. If you have developed/possess a degree of strength already you should look into increasing your explosiveness (the time part of the equation): plyyometrics, sprints/HIIT, Olympic lifts and/or the power variations of them etc...Can someone write me up program for a soccer player looking to stay flexible but yet strong and fast,someone mentioned sprinter but I want to maintain flexibility strength and speed.
So for a soccer player Olympic style lifting js best I don't want to have a big chest and slow me down. Want to be flexible agile. If you youtube usian bolt hang clean, is that the stuff you're talking about barbell Olympic lifts.
Thanks on protein and creatine question of agree those two are probably main ones and best
No I get, first step is to build muscle, I have that, second step is to muscle explosiveness (speed area) since you have the muscle, I feel like I am on the second step I need to work at that, but that works Olympic style lifting as you have told me already, and I don't want to do that on my own, that is a sport in itself as you mentioned you're right, I am just making sure it wont slow me down, i don't want to be a body-lifter and now I understand the theory behind it
god bless you guys.
look at usain bolt, no proper form but he uses Olympic style lifting, nothing is done slow, always fast.

Thanks man. One of those days where I just felt good and had energy. Also got down to 196 today. Slowly but surely I am getting there!I still go barefoot for deadlifts. You don't want your heel raised for deadlifts IMO.
By the way, killer deadlifts today man!
Yes. Always use proper form. You are not Usain Bolt. Don't train like he does.
Yea I dont get it doesnt make sense, its like IDK if hes mocking me or Usain bolt for his crap form? Or the whole thign about be you....
Aaaand sprained my ankle. I'm pissed. I have been hitting it so hard lately, oh well.
Back to actual lifting. Here's a power clean + clean from today at 205#.

Those looks pretty sweet, I like the color scheme.New Romaleos 2 prototypes:
Oh no Darth I hope you recover fast. It's not the same but I sprained my wrist last Friday. We'll recover.Aaaand sprained my ankle. I'm pissed. I have been hitting it so hard lately, oh well.
Haha, you're killing me with those funny comments, Cooter.What happened? Could your ankles no longer support those massive redwoods you call legs?
Let's just go with that.What happened? Could your ankles no longer support those massive redwoods you call legs?
I'm just going to assume you were wresting grizzly bears out of boredom. Fair enough?Let's just go with that.
The actual story is a little embarassing. I'll leave it up to your imaginations, but it does involve wild animals.
Roommates saying I'm getting fatter, but I'm really just cultivating mass.
How did you manage, FE.
How?
No fear. Just had my goal weight in sight and just kept going. The "getting fatter" comments were followed by "looking big". JUST KEEP GOING. MORE POWER. DO IT FOR THE FUTURE STRIATIONS!
Last two weeks I've got my deadlift over what I was doing before I broke my back/ankle. But...
245 x 4 and I'm pretty sure I could have done 5 if I didn't have to reset my grip. If I'm having any sort of trouble with grip at this weight, I have no clue how I'll ever get over 300
So I've just been browsing Facebook all day and some of the guys on there make me not want to go for the iipped and lean look anymore. Just burly.
15-20% BF looks more appealing to me than <9%.
Yeah that's perfect really, if the guys I'm looking at cut down for a month or two, they would pretty be much this. Decisions, lol.Definitely more fun to eat that way. But I've never had a real six-pack and I want one so bad for once in my life. I'm getting there by Summer.
But I definitely like this look better than the ripped look:
My ideal physique is a body of a rugby player
I know its next to impossible though for me
Well iam 30 and want to lose weight since iam 130kg @185 cm. What do you guys think of body weight training? Like You Are Your Own Gym.
Cuz I love food and beer too muchWhy is it impossible?
Cuz I love food and beer too much
maybe a year and a half of strict diet and lifting

What's the reason you are interested in bodyweight training?
Well weight loss and you obviously dont need a gym to do it.

I would love, LOVE, to look like that. Genetics prevent me from doing so. I think if I can get down to a solid 12/13% and just focus on getting stronger and doing more core work, I can get close.
