Looked handy enough. I want to pb after not training for two weeks. When is your ebook coming out?

Edwardius

NHNF snatch: up to 60x2
clean and jerk: 85. I can't clean anymore
squats: front 90x1, back: 90x3 some other messing.

Looked waaaay too easy for you. Think you needed to add a couple of chinchillas for extra weight. Congrats!

Maybe you should snatch grip clean from now on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th-DIj1c7vs.

Edwardius

right, snatches:
pockets, mid-thigh, from knee, floor + a bunch of OHS up to 50kg, then singles
60-70-75

double at 80 (PB)
Decided I should be able to double 80 if I could single 90. Second one was a little hairy.

Cleans: bunch of target practice at 60. Not firing and retreating properly here still.

Front squats: 2 singles at 90 (enter stage left, SI joint) double at 90. Not arsed doing any more.

Edwardius

Trained today. It was bad. Missed an 80kg snatch (!) and right hip was pulling up to 70, went to warm up squats with 60kg, back was unhappy (slouching more lately) so bailed! You win this round, Universe!

Still on the hardly bothered to train program? You'll probably snatch 95kg before the end of the week going on prior results.

I think snatch=1/frequency

Did a bunch of squats with 86kg in the flat over the last few days for stress (5x5 sets of 8 and whatever else)! still tryin to work with a wider stance to stop the back exploding. one set of 11 pullups. Squattin' feels so much better in flat shoes.

Edwardius

erm did some front squats in the apt. 86x3, 76x3x5. Was knackered from mining sekretz in the basement today, actually needed coffee to be able to leave work so the gym was out of the question. May have to start training in the mornings :mad: :mad: :mad:

Edit: press 46x5 then 36x3x10 super'd pullups 7-7-10

Edwardius

Clean and jerk: up to 90 for 2 singles, failed the clean at 95 a few times, kinda strength, kinda voodoo. Not snapping properly so leaving 'er forward. Jerk seems to be better than clean at the moment, both are terrible!

NHNF: 55x2 60x1, kept looping 60 behind.

backular squat: singles to 110, back is still sore so didn't go any higher. FS: 80x5

That would be my worst nightmare, I can't even walk straight in the mornings. Good luck with that, but a man's gotta do what a mans gotta do.

It hasn't come to that yet thank christ!

Santry today. Everyone was doing single leg stuff. I blame Hedley :P

Snatch: two singles 85kg, another two almost singles (brain farts on recovery) a few more misses in there too (looped). Gonna have some bruises on the hips too.

Back squat: erm, double or triple at 100.

Rack jerk: 80-85-90-95-100-100

clean voodoo work: up to 75 for various doubles, clean@80 +3 jerks.

Rest periods were dictated by how long it took to recover full consciousness.

Think I need a dedicated squat day or something. It's hard to give it proper attention when I've done a bunch of snatches and or other stuff that fries my brain.

Edwardius

Forgot: did a bunch of squat jerks around 40kg. Missed one behind, it was not nice. I stopped then.

Edwardius

Tired. left work too late for gym, squatted zu hause; 5x66-76-86-96-96. I'm incapable of generating any tension whatsoever, it's ridiculous! I need to work on my no-bility.

Edwardius

Same conditions as monday, FS 86x3x3 (wider stace, felt ok), back squats (wide again) 3x8 @66. "Wide" is barely shoulder width!
zzzzzzzzz

Edwardius

Clean and jerk: double at 85, single at 90, back squat 100x5
back is unhappy again.

Edwardius

Tired Ed is tired, trainin at home again. Back is still a bit pissy so kept squats reasonable, 96x2x5 again
press: 46kg, 5-5-10
pullups: 6-8-14
side raises and filler crap.

Edwardius

Light rdlz: 3x15x66kg, frontal squat: 66x3, scap things, I-rows, sliding lunges (need to set something up for these, seem ok but I still have an intense and indescribable hatred for single leg stuff)

Back improved a bit. Need to really focus on bracing. I'll get my photo taken with Pavel and that should sort it. I think that's how these things work.

Edwardius

Snatch: 70x2, 80x1, 85x2xf, clarked a snatch for the first time since october 2010!
Power jerk: dodgy double at 80, these are still weird, I should practice them more as my landing is ****.
jerk proper: 85x2, 90x1, 95x2x1

Right, squatting is currently a bad idea at the moment, sooo

Funkshunal leg press:
100kg+sledx5x10. Feet high and down to the stops. I've seen ****ers moving close to 400kg on this thing.
Leg Kurl: 60-75kg, prolly 80 reps or so.

Back is okay with these, it's not okay with the top end of the snatch or any part of the clean. Think I'm just gonna be doing jerks, machine leg work, koar work. Light RDLs seem to be okay though.

Ha, the change of title threw me. What've you been smoking?

Edwardius

The previous title was too prophetic for my liking!

Well you have good company. In that case, I might rename mine "Puppies & Tropical Waters", who knows it might come true.

New shoes today. Squatted 5x5x**** all. slightly different, don't get buried as much.

they're too bright to show up on camera!

Righto,
snatch: hips, mid-thigh, floor complex- up to 60
floor: 65-70
75x5x2
Missed a couple of these, didn't stand a lot of them up as it was grumping my shoulder. Need to jump wider, hips are too far back and it's causing problems with recovery.

Backular squat: 90x3-5-5

Back sore
RDL:
80x3x8
Back no longer sore

Legular press:
10x100, 120, 120

Not too bad.

Edwardius

clean and jerk: 95, cleaned 100, missed jerk, missed 102 clean (yeast infection)
squat: 125 for a single. ugly.
leg press 130x3x10

Edwardius

lifted at the seniors, weighed in at 81.3

snatch: 86- threw it behind, tweaked back, 86: good lift, 91: needed a little more speed from the floor but it was close.

Clean and jerk: 95-good, 100- good (generous decision though)-102: cleaned it, spent a few seconds giving myself a series of demotivational comments internally ("this is too heavy, no way are you going to lift it, go home!") and it seemed to just lock itself out, PB.

86 is a comp pb by 2kg, 102 is a clean and jerk pb, 188 is a comp pb total and think I got a sinclair pb too, all from the power of negative thought :P (and herself for coaching my lazy ass).

Nice lifting Ed. How did Craig get on and did the abusement of Barry pay off?

Thanks Ste!

Craig snatched 75 for a pb, jerked 103 I think (I think he missed 110)

Barry meditated his way to 117/142, he missed a 145 clean because he looked far too happy, I think I need to decrease the volume and increase the intensity of abuse going forward.

Rapey did 105/130 and smiled briefly before sitting down and saying "this sport is terrible"

Byrdie snatched 122, jerked 152.

That's all I can remember offhand, good general standard of lifting overall

That was very unsettling. It did only last about 10 seconds though.

Edwardius

yesterday:
squat 96x5x5

today
Front squat;
86x3x3
split squats (barbell): 46x3x8 (hatehatehate)

Press: 48.5kg: 5-5-9-10

Edit: 17th may, pullups: 10-10-11

Edwardius

Liftin' in t'spare room this evening with the "gym rats" for company!

back squat: 106x8
front squat: 96x4 singles, one double
(loose belt, loose wraps) felt good.

RDL: 3x10x96. easy enough but I've a feeling I'm gonna have sore hams in the morrow.

Edwardius

Yesterday: err. Howth (pronounced "hayth") hill from sutton side: 10.50 with headwind, still crap though. hit 65kph coming down, it was interesting.

Today:
Snatch:
81kg: 2-2-3*-4**-2
Missed 91 4 times. D'oh. Blew a callous too. Dunno why I went straight to 91. I might have a pop at something on thursday.

*missed the 2nd behind and retook immediately
**missed 2nd behind twice and retook immediately.

Backular squat:
100x5x5

not a bad session. snatch warmup is now: muscle snatch-pockets-floor. Seems to forge the groove fairly handy.

Edwardius

Clean and jerkx2, 5 sets 90kg.
FS 90x3x3.
Ugh!

Edwardius

Snatchin: easy 85s, missed some 90s and 91s.
Squat: 110x5, 115x5

supposedly

World records eh? Hmmmmmm...

Edwardius

Clean and jerk: 3 singles at 95, some misses, this was probably a bit heavy to be useful. Durnit.
Front squat: 3 singles at 100
planks: 3x30s at 15kg, back stopped exploding.
zzz

Edwardius

snatch: only went to 78 for a single, too much pain on contact and was trying to avoid it. Lame.

Back squat: 107x4x5, hips started rotating clockwise so I didn't do the 5th set to avoid the upward snapping of my ****. durn.

Edwardius

clean and jerk: 3 singles at 95, 2 at 90. Soft lockout, good positions otherwise, flexed wrists before takeoff.

Front squat 100x2x2, no back exploding here, hips seemed to work properly today, which means they'll stop working for the next year.

Sn pulls, 3x80, 90, 95. No castration incidents on these today.

Later that evening: Planks with a 16kg Chernoball, trying to maintain full tension, comrade.

Edwardius

Snatch:
3 singles 80, 3 singles 85. Hmm...

1x88, fx91(behind), 91 (PB!) Hmmmmm.....

94kg 10xf. clarked the first and all subsequent attempts got progressively easier. 8th was locked out but forward, 10th was clarked! Very very close, just sluggish getting under. 8th attempt here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyLsa3dekjQ

Back squats, 120x1, Erm, this was supposed to be a set of five....

went again, didn't bother standing with the first and dumped it !

81kg today so snatchin' 10kg over bodyweight is nice. Shoulda been 13!

At first glance thought it was some bodybuilder on yer vid.

Way to go with the PB, stop sounding so....... emo about it, sheesh!

"Missed ya so bad, missed ya so, so bad". It was the subliminal messages that made you miss it.

was out in kiwifit in sutton there, nice place. got browbeaten into doing overhead squats 3x5x65,
messed with the trap bar. Still suspicious of these things. Wandered to an almighty 120kg and stopped because it felt wrong!

Edit:
Did some squat voodoo work and went for a cycle. Got up "Hayth" in 9.58, descended through the village (little too hairy for my liking with traffic and humans around), went around and up again in about 12mins taking it very easy.

Edwardius

so tired.
Clean and jerked 90 for a pair of singles. Gave up a few times on 95
FS: 95, failed 100
sprints: bunch. best was 7.7 I think. I dunno if it's 50 or 60 though.
