ATG Roundtable – Share your Training

By

Since I always like to see how different people approach their training I thought it might be a good idea to let you guys & girls share your training.

Blogs, YouTube channels, training logs, anything goes.

The aim is to make connections with like minded people and to learn from each others training.

Post your links in the comments. Provide  some information, so people get an idea what your training is about, like:

  • Your discipline
  • What program do you use?
  • What are your goals?
  • or whatever else your posts are about.

Looking forward to see who you are.

    I am a weightlifter that aspires to lift on the international level someday. My training consists mostly of the snatch, clean & jerk, and some form of squatting but will do some other assistance stuff occasionally. My current bests are 118 snatch and 170 clean & jerk at 105.

    Your discipline: primarily powerlifting for the past year but in reality all types of human movement and strength development
    What program do you use? Stronglifts 5×5 from 2009-2011 5/3/1 Boring But Big 2011-now
    What are your goals? To be as strong as possible. To stay healthy, mobile, and agile.
    Been following your site for about a year and enjoy what you’ve done. I’m in the preliminary planning stages of opening a warehouse based strength and conditioning facility similar to Matt Wichlinksi’s Strength Shop or Zach Even-Esh’s Underground Garage Gym.

      Nice lifts!

      Man, opening your own gym… how awesome is that?

      I think that’s a dream a lot of us have. Takes tons of heart to succeed with it.

      I wish you best of luck with it.

    I am a performance athlete (ie a human) that dabbles in every discipline – olympic, powerlifting, bodybuilding, etc. . Right now, due to lack of equipment and time, I am learning how to maintain (and even progress) my strength without a gym. Here’s Julys results: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COgYDvYiaro . I primarily just follow my body and do a lot of “grease the groove”. Chinups with a #20 vest for 20 reps is right around the corner. I talk big picture health & fitness stuff/ psychology at http://www.leviclampitt.com.

    • GregorATG says

      Definitely possible to progress without a gym.

      Plus you have weights / weighted vest (and some awesome stairs to sprint). Have you tried mixing in some gymnastics exercises into your training? Would be a good fit for your situation.

    I guess you could classify me as a crossfit athlete but I consider myself a military athlete with a strength obsession. I want to be able to do my job but I also want a 136kg snatch and a 160kg CJ. Still trying to find the perfect balance of conditioning and strength. Work interferes with my programming a lot, but I get it in when I can. Just hit 100kg snatch on Tuesday after being away from the barbell for about 2 weeks. That means I added 25 kilos to my snatch since March. I’d like to qualify for Americans next year as either a 105 or 94.

    • GregorATG says

      That’s some good progress! Congrats on that hundo snatch. Also 2:26 Fran is no joke either!

  7. Felix Adler says

    I train to complement my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Training and gain strength and size, because you can never have too much strength. Thus, I try to stick to the basics and found the Juggernaut Method (JM) and Wendler’s 531 (Full Body) very helpful.

    Right now I do only 2 lifts per session and I train every other day. I use the JM for the main lifts and the 531 scheme for some kind of variation of the main lift. Whenever I feel like doing things like chin ups, dumbbell press variations, row variations or even bicep curls, I just go for it:

    Squat JM + Pendlay Row 531
    Overhead Press JM + Deficit Deadlift (Snatch Grip) 531
    Bench Press JM + Front Squat 531
    Deadlift JM + Dips 531

      • Felix Adler says

        He actually has this kind of mix in the book. I only tweaked it a little bit to match my small amount of equipment (“homegym”). The book is worth a look.

    powerlifter drug free and raw. doug hepburn routine with singles. when i get stale on that i move to 8 sets of 2 build to 8 sets 0f 3. when i go stale on that its back to singles. squat bench and deadlift. and sit-ups pullups or bent-rows for assistance.3 sets for 8 adding weight gradually over time. i work 60 hours a week so i only workout 2 days a week.

    • GregorATG says

      Great to hear you get everything done despite the 60 hours a week. I had discussions with people working barely 40 a week and complaining about not having time.

      It’s all a question of how bad do you want it.

  11. Athletic Evolution says

    At 32, I competed at the European CrossFit Regionals this year, finished 20th with a torn bicep. I love my barbell so I’m turning into a, very frustrated, oly lifter. Currently at 100/135 at 85kg. Just finished planning my next 14 weeks of training using some Catalyst Athletics/Glen Pendlay templates…and Chinese lifters program posted on here!

    And what about you Gregor? Will you share your training?. I have just seen your ring training on youtube (that’s the way I knew about your blog and then I have been reading it since ).

    • GregorATG says

      Oh I assumed most of you knew that I am still on 531.

      531 for the big movements together with bodybuilding style training & bodyweight exercises for assistance.

      Goals: grow some legs, weigh 80kg by the end of this year!

  13. Clean and Derp says

    Tragic lifting fan, recently bought my own house do now I have a home gym to do whatever I want! Currently that is equal parts ChaosnPain and brooks kubik. I’m not gifted at the standard lifts so I work hard at some odd ones! Recent PR was two dumbell clean and press with 100lb thick handle bells. Love your site Gregor !

  15. gtg009 says

    90kg PLer and aspiring 85kg Oly lifter. Best PL competition lifts (raw and no wraps) of 273kg squat, 182kg bench, and 280kg DL at 89kg bodyweight. Now I’m around 86kg lbs and working to become an Oly lifter. Best lifts so far in training are 130kg snatch and 155kg C&J. Only been O lifting for a few months, but things are going ok for not having a coach to teach me the lifts. Self-taught from Youtube all the way! haha

    I train using the “whatever the hell I want” method, but mainly influenced by Bulgarian system. Shitloads of doubles and singles, with the occasional set of 3 or 5 for fun. Did this even with PL and had good results, and it seems to work ok with OL as well (for now). Hoping to do an OL contest sometime in the next year, but we’ll see.

    Also, that 405 lb bottom position front squat on here from a while back was me. My best regular FS is 465 lbs (211kg)…so yeah, you can tell I suck at O lifting technique right now.
