A lesson with the coach
On the recommendation of one of the nurses in one of the hospitals - her husband is a lifter - I went to see a coach, Pete Upham, who runs Shire Speed and Strength gym in Sutherland in Sydney. The gym is really cool: not a single mirror on the wall, no machines, just free weights, about five pairs of stands for squatting, oly lifting platform and couple of large tyres.
Getting advise from a coach is useful, to say the least. He filmed my squatting and dissected my technique into little phases, and then corrected them. I worked up to the set of five with 57.5 kg and decided to call it quits. I highly recommend coach Upham and his gym.
I hope the lesson is useful, and I will be able to progress in squat. I really like it. Besides, I have a cool squatting cage in my little gym in the garage, it shouldn't just stand there! In two weeks I have an appontment for the deadlift.

The Blogger was for some reason unavailable for posting, and several workouts I did during the last week are not logged in. Didn't do GS lifts. Did light squats (got to 47.5 kg), weighted chinups, some KB presses and some rings stuff.
Today - back to GS.
2 x 20 kg jerk:
10 minutes, 57 reps
Fuck, that was hard at the end.
I tried the KB flip, the one Wild Bill posted on Igx. 12 kg was relatively easy, both pronation and supination. 16 kg - only pronation, but both arms. Yey!
Chinups:
20 kg x 4, 2 sets
BW - 10 (failure)
50 kg squat:
5, 3, 2.

2 x 22 kg jerk:
7 minutes/37 reps
BB squat:
42.5 kg x 5-3-2
I tried adding back squat to my training several times for the last few months, but every time it made my back sensitive and I dropped it. Decided to try it again. Last session I did 40 kg x 20 reps, so far so good. I am going to do PTTP template from Pavel's Russian version of the book: 5-3-2 (instead of 5 x 2). The weight is laughable, but I am in no hurry. For now main goal is not to get injured.
