****in hell, warm today!
clean+2 jerks, 80kg, 6 sets

snatch balanced up to 65 for a couple doubles, then 70 for a single or two. very slow on these, need to get down faster.

front squatted 85kg for 6 doubles, just did a quick triple on the back squat at 100

HSDLW8SPAK 105kgx3

snatch dead, just a single at 130.

Cycled about 25km today, up howth hill again, did it in 12.59 sutton side but was carryin' about 10kg of shoppin' which is my excuse for being about 1.40 slower than the last time (also, there was a headwind, me legs were sore, I was hungover etc etc! ). Hit 62km/h on the descent which seemed to cause a terrifying level of physics to occur (not to be trusted), didn't go faster as I wasn't down with the idea of being mopped up into a bucket if the **** hit the fan.

[Edwardius]

Snatched 72 for a single then 68 for 5 doubles
Took longer rests between sets, sorted out the fatigue issue. No misses here.

jerked 80 for 5 doubles then up to 100 for a single. Missed 105, chest caved and I properly wussed out. 100 was piss though. Had an eye on 110. Might try it next week before the volume sets.

back squat:
wandered up to 115 for a single then down to 105 for 5 doubles. Nothin crazy here.

Didn't bother with the pulls.

Edit: more stuff
did a couple sets of 8 single leg deads with 22kg,
TGU situps with same weight (I like these|) 1x5, 1x10
600g sirloin steak in one sitting

[Edwardius]

Right,
clean and jerked 85, 2cl+1j 80 for 5 doubles, jerk not so good but all legal.
snatch balanced 70 for 3 doubles. Good and secure here, took the grip in so index fingers are about 1cm from rings, gonna stay there too, much less sore on shoulders.
Front sq: 90 single, 85 5 doubles.
Hang power snatched 60 for a double (bored)

Edit: RDLs, 8s at 50-70-80-90-90

Tried some swiss ball leg curls but they're a bit fruity for my tastes.

No, used the pink one in me apartment!

Yesterday:
snatch:
60x3, 64x3, 68x2, 72x1, 76x1, 68x2x4, 1
Knee got pissed off on at the bottom of the 2nd last snatch, same thing I think, hurts in the same place with the same movements and flared up in the same position.

took 80kg for the first warmup back squat, did a single and racked it. Balls.

rack jerk, 5 doubles 80kg

RDL: up to 120x3.

FUUUUU!

Yesterday:
Rack jerked up to 95, missed the 100 twice (despite use of nose tork).
Clean and jerk: failed 90, doubles at 80 were rough. Cleans ok, jerks crap.
snatch balance: 2 doubles at 70, onw double at 72, dropped it too far back on the neck, which was smart. No damage though
Front squats: went back to the office in a huff!

Knackered. cycling up to about 35km a day on for the last week and until next thursday so lifting was always gonna get raped. Wasn't expecting to miss 90 though! Gonna try to sandbag the cycling a bit more. Hopefully there will be massive supercompensation when I get back to normal!

[Edwardius]

right, got my food on and kept the mileage down a bit since last session.
Snatch:

68X2, 72X1, 76X1, 80 on third attempt, 83 on 5th or or 6th. Missed 86 3 times, had it locked out but forward. Need to hang on a bit before diving down. Missing about 2 inches of hip extension. Will do some hang snatches and pulls from blocks maybe? Happy enough, 83 is a bit of a local maximum and better than I've been doin lately.

Back squatted up to 125 for a single. Got out of position and had to dump 130 over me head. Left it there..

Edit, moar stuffs:
Getups , 5x16kg a side, 5x24kg a side, single each side with the 32kg stalinball. Stopped doing these about a year ago for no reason. Think these are easier with dumbbells, possibly because Krazyballs piss me off.

Pressed the 24kg for 5 reps a side. Bah!

Maxin clean and jerk and FS next session hopefully. Want another shot at a snatch max next week too.

[supposedly]

Great work was done today. Much faster than before!

[Edwardius]

messed around with some elevated split squats with a 16kg madball in the goblet position, 12-10-10 per leg. Hams and hind-quarters not happy (bastarding things deserve it for skiving off lately )

[Edwardius]

Another sensible session...

Clean and jerk: got up to 90 but failed 95 about three times on the jerk. No aggression. The clean was ok though. that's better than last week and has been elevated from shameful to just plain ****e!

Front squat:
up to 100, failed 105 twice (WTF??)

rack jerk: 95 on 3rd attempt, shoulder was screwing with my head and missed 100.

Back to front squats:
nailed 100, failed 105, got pissed off, smoked 105 easy, failed 108.

Rack jerk, got to 95 again I think.

Also, stripped the bar to 90 whenever I missed something and power cleaned it to the rack.

Still not great, happier than last week anyway and I'm not gimped so **** it.

I do this too, and try to progress it, i've moved onto stripping to 110. It's probably a terrible idea!

[Molly]

What's a back to front squat?

I had Wayne powerclean up my dumped jerks tonight, pretty handy. You could probably convince Clarence to do the same for you.
