All about Initials
When I first started autoregulating my training, the biggest obstacle for me was selecting the right weight to hit at the right RPE. If a set calls for 5 reps at RPE 9, it is a tough ask to immediately settle on a correct weight and work up to it. You may feel good on some days and that weight may feel too light. Conversely, you would need a lighter load on a shitty day. The whole point of…

Progressing on an RPE cycle
Progressing on an RPE cycle
NOTE: I wrote this article as a resource to those of you who are starting to venture into autoregulation, are moderately familiar with the concept of RPEs and would like to write your own template but are not sure where to start and/or are faced with problems progressing. For those of you who are not, I have written a short explanation of its theory and practice for your benefit in the “WHY…

The Transition Block
I worked with Eric Bodhorn from The Strength Athlete from July to September last year. He designed a 12-week training block which allowed me to hit several PRs and go 8/9 in my last meet in October. After the meet, I took some time off from Eric’s coaching. I was preparing for a semester exchange programme in New York and had to make sure I was making that my top financial priority. I decided…

You won't hit a PR at every meet
You won’t hit a PR at every meet
Recently, I concluded my first competitive powerlifting season with the Singapore Powerlifting Invitationals 2015. It has been a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to continue on this road of personal development and strength. However, although I’m only a beginner in the strength game, I’ve also experienced some of the lows that…

Taken me long enough: The little changes in my life
Taken me long enough: The little changes in my life
I’m starting a new series called Taken me long enough. Although I’ve been writing a lot in Facebook Notes, I haven’t been updating this blog as often as I would like. I’d like to consolidate all my writing here, since I’ve redefined the direction of my blog. Taken me long enough is a consolidation of my best Notes and posts. This entry originally appeared on Facebook titled “The Little Changes In…

23 months last Saturday and I can't remember a time without you in my life. Not that I'm even trying to. Also, nice shoes but I thought it was better to include the hat. #mariment (at that's a big hat)
How I manage fatigue in a corporate setting
Since starting my corporate internship, I quickly found that fatigue management was becoming a challenge. I was listless at work, at the gym and in general. I felt like I was the Energizer Bunny I’d just had my AA batteries ripped out of my anus. When I first started working, I was pretty much winging it at scheduling and going at my tasks – from finishing work and leaving the office to training…

OKAY I'll take this. 4.0 I'm coming for you next semester. Thank you, NUS, for that early morning reminder that I still need to study. (at NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences)
Family dinner tho. Medium rare. (at The Ship Restaurant @ Nex)
The calm before the storm
Goodbye to another chapter in my life. (at Gold's Gym Singapore)
C1W3D3 of my autoregulated programme. #squat 125x5@ 9.5 Was pleased with this movement. Filmed from the front and noticed knees moving in so I narrowed my stance. #bench [email protected] Found a bench that mimics the height and hardness of the comp one. Can't say I was as pleased with my RPE decisions. #deadlift 130x5@ 9 Did 145x5 for a very ugly top set so I dropped the weight more than necessary.
77.5x5@ 9 Spoto Press for the pec gains. In other news, I'm getting a pair of Bluetooth earphones - Plantronics backbeat something-somethings - the kind that you don't need to stuff into your ears, thank god. My earholes are so tight that those ear condoms won't fit in them, whatever the size. #CYF #powerlifting
115x5@ 9 paused #squat. Not all my sets went as well as this initial, but for the most part I managed to get the pausing consistent. I also messed up some RPEs but it was a fulfilling day overall and I'm continuing to learn. Check out my latest blog post at http://clementyoufitness.com/2015/05/24/novice-gains-are-the-best/ (link in my bio) where I write about one of the biggest mistakes novices can make from personal experience. #CYF #powerlifting
Novice Gains are the Best
Oh, how I would love to be a beginner again and reap those novice gains! With all the different programmes out there designed to take your training to the “next level”, everyone is looking for the next big thing to deliver the biggest gains in their life. Mainly because of my Smolov Jr article, I’ve received questions from people wondering if they should do it or the full Smolov. WHOA, HANG IN…
