    135kg 5 x 1

    My right scap started pinching on something this morning and has been at me all day. It seemed to happen when I stretched my arms over my head and no amount of anything would get it to go away. It feels like something is getting impinged under my scapula. It's not really painful just irritating and made it really difficult to get the bar to sit properly in the squats. Hopefully it'll go away by tomorrow.

    Today:

    Snatch:

    Power+Full

    60kg 1 x 1+1
    65kg 1 x 1+1
    67kg 1 x 1+1
    70kg 2 x 1+1

    The power wasn't great in the first set at 70kg but the second set was much better. I that's as much as I've ever powered before so I'm happy with that.

    Power Clean and Power Jerk:

    77kg 1 x 1
    83kg 1 x 1
    87kg 1 x 1
    92kg 1 x 1 PB Power Jerk
    100kg 1 x F jerk PB Power Clean

    Happy with that. 92kg jerk was a bit sketchy but I'll take it. Happy with the 100kg as well, was the best clean of the lot. Psyched myself out of the jerk completely, started to think about splitting rather than powering and then just did a jerk drive. Stupid brain.

    Today:

    Clean and Jerk:

    85kg 1 x 1
    90kg 2 x 1
    95kg 2 x 1 failed both jerks

    Clean Pull:

    120kg 4 x 2

    Front Squat:

    130kg 5 x 1


    Terrible session everything felt like a trillion bazillion kilos. Jerks were just plain bad. S'pose it's to be expected after the good day yesterday so just goona stop thinking about it and move on. Only two workouts left before taper week next week.

    Today:

    Snatch:

    From hang atk

    60kg 1 x 2
    65kg 1 x 2
    70kg x f,1,1,f

    Both misses were just a tad out in front. The second single was an absolute beaut, best hang snatch I've done yet.

    Clean:

    From hang atk

    80kg 1 x 2
    85kg 1 x 2
    92kg 3 x 1

    Pretty good but still room for improvement. I get pulled forward quite a bit at the heavier weights.

    Chin Up:

    6 x 4

    Bench:

    45kg 4 x 12
    70kg x 1
    80kg x 1
    87kg x lololol

    MacGyvered myself some safeties from my gym ring straps for the attempt at 87 and just as well cos I got stapled, didn't even come off my chest.

    Abz:

    2 x 30


    Glad I trained today. I was gonna give it a miss cos my back was being cranky but it didn't really bother me once I got going. Snatches were definitely the highlight of the sesh.

    Today:

    Snatch:

    up to 77kg x 1
    missed 80kg behind

    Last heavy workout, taper next week. Took a crack at 84kg after missing the 80 behind, missed it but should be there for the taking next Friday. Clean and jerks were fine, had to split quite deep on the 102 though. Will hopefully get at least 107 on Friday.

    A bit tired today and everything felt a bit heavy. Should be fresher by Friday.

    Today:

    Power Snatch:

    55kg 5 x 1

    Power Clean and Jerk:

    75kg 5 x 1

    Jerks were really sloppy

    Clean Pull:

    95kg 3 x 2

    Meh, still a bit foggy. Just gonna have to trust the taper and hope to be sharper on Friday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Rolling and stretching.

    Worked through all the usual suspects and rolled my quads for the first time in about a year. The pain was atrocious. They felt pretty good afterwards though and it made going into the couch stretch after quite a bit easier.

    Have decided just to rest up today and tomorrow rather than training. Will be popping up to ECB on Friday for testing.

    04/04/2014

    Snatch:

    70kg x 2
    75kg x 1
    78kg x 1
    81kg x 1
    85kg x 1 PB
    88kg x f

    Left it there. Looking at the video of the miss @ 88kg I should have tried it a couple more times. Tbh I was delighted with the 85 so I just left it.

    Clean and Jerk:

    90kg x 1
    98kg x f jerk
    104kg x f jerk
    108kg x 1 PB
    112kg 2 x f clean
    112kg x f jerk locked out but lost forward on recovery
    115kg x f clean
    115kg 2 x f jerk
    115kg 3 x f clean

    A bit messy with the cleans today. The 108 was the only good lift of the lot. A lot of ugly cleans due to leaving the bar out in front during the pull under. Need to improve my pull from above the knee as I feel I am loosing power there. Start position got a bit messy near the end and they were more hail mary attempts then anything.

    RDL:

    100kg x 5
    107kg x 5
    115kg x 5


    Pretty good day. Best day of snatching in a long time. The immediate focus for the next training cycle will be on developing my pull and my posterior chain as I think this is my biggest weakness. I also need to choose my attempts better and stop making stupid jumps in weight. If I had of plane my attempts better (i.e. make a snatch @ 88kg) I may have got the 200kg total but what's done is done. Time to look ahead to the next training cycle.

    Thanks go out to Edwardius and everyone else in ECB for being sound!

    Best lifts from yesterday.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    OHS:

    bar 5 x 5

    Just did this to keep mobility ticking over until next week. Worked grip in closer on each set. Used flat shoes instead of weightlifting shoes.

    Chin up:

    8 x 3

    Bench:

    55kg 4 x 10

    Band Pulls:

    4 x 20

    Single Arm Row:

    16kg 4 x 12 e/s

    French Press:

    20kg 4 x 12

    I'm only gonna train twice this week, today and Thursday. Just light upper body stuff and maybe some RDL's on Thursday. I'm gonna run the same 4 week program again from next Monday. I haven't really got the attention span to do anything much longer tbh and I quite enjoyed the last four weeks so may as well run it again. Will make a few tweaks to it to focus on weaknesses.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    OHS:

    bar 5 x 5

    In flat shoes and worked grip in on each set. Can bang out a few good ones with pinkys on the rings but that's about the limit at the minute.

    Chin Up:

    5,4,4,4

    I think I'll change back to pull ups. Feels like the gunz are doing most of the work.

    Bench:

    60kg 4x8

    Band Pulls:

    4 x 20

    Cannot wait to get back to training next week. I get so lazy when I'm not training. I've been eating copious amounts of shíte food, not stretching and getting feck all sleep. Roll on next Monday!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Snatch:

    60kg 5 x 3

    Took a couple of sets to get back into the swing of things.

    Snatch Pull:

    90kg 4 x 4

    Probably a tad to heavy. May have been better at 80 or 85.

    Pause Squat:

    112kg 4 x 3

    Chin Up:

    4x5

    Plank:

    +10kg 4 x 30 sec


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Power Snatch + Snatch:

    57kg 2 x 1+1
    62kg 2 x 1+1
    65kg 2 x 1+1

    Good up until the two sets at 65kg, which were just a bit weird.

    Power Clean and Pause Jerk:

    77kg 5 x 1+1

    Pause jerks felt good. Doing these in order to reinforce keeping knees pushed out and staying tight during the dip.

    Bench:

    65kg 4 x 6

    Upper body strength is terrible :'(

    Band Pulls:

    4 x 20


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Clean and Jerk:

    77kg 5 x 3

    Reps on both.

    Goddamn heat! Lost about 10kg of water weight during these. Missed the third jerk on set three 'cos of heat stroke or something.

    Clean Pull:

    115kg 4 x 4

    Tough. Thought they might have been too heavy but they looked ok on video. Last set was probably the best.

    Front Squat:

    102kg 4 x 3

    Taking the percentages from a 135kg max in order to reduce the amount of squatting work. Once my classical lifts make it to a sensible ratio of my squats I'll look into moving that number up.

    Row:

    70kg 4 x 6


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Hang Snatch:

    ATK

    65kg 5 x 2

    Meh a bit crappy. A tad slack throughout the pull.

    Cleans:

    hang + floor

    82kg 5 x 1+1

    Again, not the greatest.

    Snatch Grip Press:

    30kg x 6
    32kg x 6
    37kg x 6
    40kg x 6
    30kg x 10

    Band Pulls:

    Snatch:

    60 x 2
    65 x 2
    70 x 2
    72 3 x 1

    Clean and Jerk:

    70 x 2
    80 x 2
    85 x 2
    90 x 2
    95 x 1
    100 1 x 2 PB

    Was meant to be 95 for three singles but the 95 was easy enough so bumped it up to 100 for second set. That was easy enough so went for the double and got it. Jerks are feeling easier than cleans at the minute, never thought I'd ever say that.

    Clean Deads:

    120 3 x 5

    Hooked first set, strapped the rest.

    Front Squat:

    130 x 1
    115 1 x 2

    tough

    Snatch:

    65kg 5 x 2

    Felt light enough. Some were a bit messy from lack of concentration.

    95kg 4 x 3

    Pause Squat:

    125kg 5 x 2

    Chin Up:

    7,5,5,4


    Felt a bit sick earlier on today with an upset stomach so happy enough just to train at all. Squats felt quite heavy towards the tail end of the session.

    70kg 1 x 1+1

    Missed the snatch on 70kg the first time but got it on the second attempt.
    Snatches weren't great today, start position felt a bit off.

    Power Clean and Pause Jerk:

    82kg 3 x 1+1

    Somewhat fatigued today, no misses though.

    Hang Snatch:

    65kg 3 x 2
    70kg 2 x 2

    Happy with that. Only ever done 70 for a single before so two doubles with 70 is good.

    Clean:

    Hang + Floor

    82kg 3 x 1+1
    90kg 2 x 1+1

    The two sets at 90 weren't the greatest.

    30 x 6
    35 x 6
    40 x 6
    45 x 6

    Fatigue starting to build up. Thankfully, I've only got a few more sessions until the taper. I was feeling this way at the same point of this program the last time I did it so I'm not gonna start worrying about anything just yet.

    70kg x 2
    72kg 2 x 1
    75kg 1 x 1
    77kg 1 x F

    Pretty happy with those. Looking at the videos I am jumping forward very slightly so that is something I will have to fix. It doesn't happen as much when lifting from the floor.

    Clean:

    From hang ATK:

    82kg x 2
    90kg x 2
    95kg 3 x 1

    I'm not great from the hang in the clean but I was happy enough with these.

    77kg x 1
    80kg x 1
    82kg x 1
    87kg x f
    70kg x 4 missed the 5th rep

    Took a crack at 87 just to see how it felt. Should get it during testing next Friday. The single at 82kg was solid. I was meant to do a double at 77kg after the heaviest set but the miss put me off so stripped it down to 70 and just kept going after the second rep, shame I missed the last rep.

    Clean and Jerk:

    80kg 1 x 2
    90kg 1 x 1
    95kg 1 x 1
    100kg 1 x 1
    105kg 1 x f jerk.

    Feeling a bit fatigued after the snatches. 100 was solid but got crushed on the clean on 105 and missed the bounce. Looking for 110kg during next Friday's testing.

    Clean Deadlift:

    120kg 3 x 3

    Front Squat:

    110kg x 1
    120kg x 1
    130kg x 1
    120kg x 2

    Taper next week, Monday will be the last heavyish workout.
