    failed the clean on the 101 and the jerk on the 100s

    don't think I've ever jerked 96 after a full clean so that's almost kind of a pb.

    3 position catch cleans (above parallel, at parallel and rock bottom) 60kg x3 sets

    *enter bastarding headache*

    squats 99-90

    pulldowns
    kurls
    think I prefer the bar for curls rather than dumbbells

    idiotic commuter race on one of the climbs back home. lungs are in ribbons.
    impossible to resist

    It's a disease! I can restrain myself a little in the morning, but it's war in the evenings!

    the worst is when you've a proper amount of ground to make up on your prey. by the time you pass them your bollixed but if you take your foot off the gas they'll burn you right back. a vicious circle.

    felt like death again (poor coffee timing), nearly blacked out under a 20kg bar (!)

    snatch: missed 75 behind, then got it, 80 was easy, missed 85 behind, missed 88 twice (basically pulled it and turned into a wet fish), got 85 on the way back. think I went for 88 again but it was nowhere close. 85 is good for a bad day :P.

    squats: 103, 93

    DB bench: 20s 3x15, will stay with that weight till it feels easier

    split squats (no foot elevated, something something.. revolutionary... something) 3x10 a side with all of thirty kilograms

    2 scoops unflavoured whey, a load of cream, pint of milk, half a teaspoon of cinnamon. This was good.

    Don't really like the idea of training tomorrow. Avoided a commuter race because the other ****er was breaking red lights and I've given up on that like a good little obedient citizen (I get to rest more this way and don't fancy giving the coppers €200)

    clean and jerk: 95kg, failed the waterloo again (bleh)
    squats: 107, 97
    kurlz, pulldowns, inverted rows.

    Later: push 400cc sportsbike for 500m when it stalled and the battery died. Probably reduced chances of death significantly. Terrifying thing. I want one.

    erm....
    snatch: 2 doubles at 70kg. Every lift I did today looked different. missed a ****load, dropped one on my ass

    Squatulus:
    99-90

    I kept dropping things, everything, collars, weights, no coordination. Stupid organism.

    pulls: 3x3x90
    Death.

    Don't think I did anything else. Neck is moderately Tokened. I'm a seriously delicate flower if my nervous system is ****ed from last week. I'll assume the universe was outta whack and everything will be fine tomorrow.... right?

    Erm, 81.97kg. Supra-iliac is like 10mm from about 20 in late December (at 88 or so). This is probably good. I've another two weeks at a high level of paleotardation. Started to look like I've gotten on the wrong end of the Reich. Anyway:

    OHS , 40x10, 50x10 (I'm doing these to spite yesterday's Ed, bastard owes me money.)

    Clean and jerked up to 80 for 5 doubles. Hit my chin again on the second (you don't only do this once, that was a lie) bit me lip. On the third set of jerks I was landing my right foot further left than my left. They cleared up after that.

    squats: 103, 93. boring.

    a bunch of snatch things, ended up doing some of those no hands-no feet things. They're all quiet. Feels like I'm sneaking up on something.

    Not bothered with anything else. Food please.

    Edit: later that day...

    lunges, 10 per leg with 30kg super'd with 15 pushups with a few mins rest. Might throw in some inverted rows next time I do that, although next thing you know I'll be wearing brightly coloured runners and falling under police cars :P)

    I actually thought it was true because someone said to me before he sold me some magic beans. It's a useful thing to tell yourself, depending how you view the idea of usefulness. Usefullness and healthy teeth are mutually exclusive.

    The world has gone mad. I'll outweigh Damien soon and you too you skinny f*ck if you keep up this manorexia. Next thing you know L will be lifting in the 85's and doing metcons.

    Warmup: raises and the like. OHS: 10x(20-40-50-55)


    "no hands no feet": some pretty things up to 60kg

    Snatch:
    5 doubles 70kg. These kinda clunked into place towards the end

    squats: 107-97, erm... I need to eat more, lost position a bit here due to wussing out of the groove

    Well I guess the actual lesson I learned was to rack the damn bar properly before shooting it up to the sky. Oh yeah and to not spasm out your back so it takes months before you can actually jerk off again, that's another helpful tip.

    I can never remember what I do differently when I wallop my chin. Same with my patented "headbutting snatches". Probably something to do with angering various gods :confused:

    Right, I'm gonna do the dublin open and I'm gonna open at 90/101. Not bothered if I bomb out because I'm kinda training for later in the year. No point in wandering in and doing 85/98 or something. I'm also gonna do a full week's training this week and not taper so the comp doesn't really get in the way.

    I think you are gonna have to perform minimum one sacrifice to pull this off. Y'all be crazy.

    I dunno man, worst thing thing that can happen is I'll miss six lifts. It's not like I'll burst into flames or anything. I'm not really bothered just totalling, I've done that enough at this stage so I'm going to do as our great lord and saviour suggested and "be stupid for me" :D. I'll get more experience under intimidating weights and will probably enjoy myself a bit more this way.
