Yet another emo weightlifter with another emo log.

Been teaching myself the lifts for the last 5 months or so. Pretty slow progress and I've had to start over a couple of times to get rid of bad habits. Things have been slowly coming together over the last two weeks or so.



Age: 21
Weight: 85 or thereabouts

PR's:
Clean and jerk: 72.5kg
Snatch: 57.5kg
Back squat: 135kg
Front squat: 125kg
Deadlift: 155kg



Today's training:

Clean and jerks:

Bar x loads
40kg x 2
50kg x 2
60kg x 1

67.5 5x2

Not too bad today missed one clean when my brain stopped working. My second reps always seem to be a bit better than my first for some reason. I've been doing doubles for the last few weeks, increasing the weight slightly every week, to help ingrain technique into my brain. Might move to triples in a few weeks.

Front squats:

50kg x 1
80kg x 1
100kg x 1
110kg x 1
115kg x 1
120kg x 1 PR
125kg x 1 PR
130kg x crushed

Videoed the 125kg and it looked easy so went for 130 but got loose on the descent and basically just sat down. I've decided to stick to max singles for the next while and see how far I can go. Mainly cos I hate squating for reps with a passion.

DylanJM

24th July

Pretty wrecked didn't get much sleep last night and wasn't really looking forward to training at all but dragged myself out anyway.

Snatches:

Bar x few
40kg x 2
45kg x 2
50kg x 1
52.5kg 5x2

Missed two or three. I have to get better at pulling myself under the bar, watching myself back on video looks like I'm snatching in slow motion



Back squats:

I'm so terrible at back squats they never feel right at all, front squats feel much more natural.

Bar x few
50kg x 3
80kg x 2
110kg x 1
120kg x 1
130kg x scariest thing EVAR!!! somehow shifted from my heels to my toes when I hit the bottom. Nearly fell forward and was way to close to my rack, images of being decapitated by the bar flashed before my eyes before I eventually got back on to my heels and dumped the bar. Was not fun at all
130kg x 1
140kg x 1 PR Grinder


Messed around with some chest supported rows by sticking a bench on some blocks of wood, nothing worth writing about.

DylanJM

25th July

Clean and jerks:

Bar x ridiculous amount, couldn't get into the groove at all, set the tone for the rest of the session.
40kg x 2
50kg x 2
50kg x 1
67.5kg 4x2

Feckin terrible, didn't bother with the last double. The cleans were miles out in front and my jerks were worse, couldn't stay tight at all. Adjusting my hands for the jerk when coming out out the clean was also all over the place couldn't get my grip width right at all.

I swear I nearly had a mini breakdown during these

Front squats:

Worked up to a heavy single at 120kg then went down to 110kg for four singles. The 120 was tough, singles were alright.

DylanJM

26th July

Snatches:

bar
40kg x 2
45kg x 2
50kg x 1

52.5kg 5x3

Meh first three triples were pretty shíte, missed a fair few out front cos I wasn't getting on my heels at all. Last two were much better, fiddled around with my start position and they started coming together.

Back squatzzz

bar x 3
50kg x 2
80kg x 1
110kg x 1
120kg x 1
130kg x 1
120kg x 1 lol was meant to do 5 singles at 120 but legs said no and I gave up

RDL:

50kg x 8
70kg x 8
80kg 2x8 1x12

Some rows and weighted situps.


Might test out my maxes on Saturday for the lulz. Will also do more triples and doubles on squats next week.

DylanJM

30th July

Clean and jerks:

Bar x many
50kg x 3
60kg x 1
65kg x 1
70kg 5 x 2

Not too bad, no misses. Cleans were good jerks so so. One smooth as fook jerk that felt amazing

Cleans:
80kg x 1
85kg x 1 PR
90kg missed twice and hurt my wrist :cries:

Missed the 85 twice before I made it. Cleaned my body weight, mini milestone yay!


Front squat:
80kg x 1
100kg x 1
107.5kg 3x3

Hilarious sounds were made during the last rep of the triples. Right wrist was sore during these

DylanJM

31st July:

Snatches:

Bar x loads
40kg x 2
45kg x 2
50kg x 1
52.5kg x 1

55kg 5 x 2

These were fine until the last double when I missed twice, cos I somehow forgot to snatch completely. Should be set to do triples on these on Thursday.

Backsquats:

Bar x few
50kg x 2
80kg x 2
100kg x 2

115kg 4 x 2

100kg 1 x 8


Doubles at 115 were fine, didn't feel too heavy. The set of eight was the fastest set I've ever done, I was like a feckin pogo stick and caught the bounce on every rep. I've adjusted the position of the bar on my traps to sit it a bit lower which feels a lot more stable.

Hopefully I'll be getting my new bar tomorrow, which is 28mm and has softer knurl, which will be a nice change from the 29mm one I'm using at the moment which is eating my hands.

DylanJM

2nd August

Clean and jerk

Bar
50kg x 3
60kg x 2
65kg x 1

70kg 5 x 2

No misses but jerks were terrible. Couldn't stay tight on the dip at all and wasn't getting my head through enough.

Front squats with a pause

70kg x 2
90kg x 2
100kg 3 x 3 These nearly killed me Found it hard to hold my upper back by the end of the sets.

Really shouldn't have taken yesterday off, it just fecked up my week, hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better. I'm going to force myself to test maxes on Saturday cos I didn't bother last weekend. Hopefully aim for at least 60/80.

DylanJM

3rd August

Snatches:

Bar
40kg x 2
45kg x 2
50kg x 2

55kg 5 x 3

Only had an hour before the 85's started so flew through the snatches and didn't bother with squats, will do some tomorrow instead. Missed a few snatches, mostly because I was rushing. Eventually got 5 triples done. Lower back was well swole

Still not getting on to my heels enough for the second pull. I figured this out while messing with snatches from the hip. Snatching from the hip, I can get under much quicker so I'll have to work on hitting that position better when I snatch from the floor.

Gonna test maxes in the morning for both lifts and do a max backsquat, hopefully

DylanJM

4th August

Snatch:

bar
40kg x 2
45kg x 2
50kg x 1
55kg x 1
57.5kg x 1
60kg x 1
62.5kg x 1 +5kg PR

Clean and jerks

Shíte, might as well have not of bothered. Was unbelievably slow, got about as far as 65kg and started missing jerks. Everything wanted to explode; wrists, knees shoulder, left calf. The emoness was pouring out of me.

Back squats:
LOL

After all that I get on to the computer and find out Klokov and Akkaev are out of the olympics. :Tears:

DylanJM

6th August

Power cleans:

70kg 5 x 3

Decided to do power cleans for a change, weren't too bad, two misses. Still need to get back on to my heels better for the second pull.

Jerks from rack:

Millions of triples up to 70kg. Doing these because I need to get more consistent with my jerk, I think I'll stick to this for the next week or two and then move back to clean and jerks. Wish I had some jerk boxes cos I despise lowering the bar back to my shoulders.

FS:

110kg 3x3 OR 4x3

Couldn't remember if I had done one set or two in the middle of these so did an extra to be safe. Must of been four triples cos that last set was feckin tough

DylanJM

7th August

Snatches:

warm ups blah blah

57.5kg 5 x 2

Took about 30 reps to do five doubles The snatches I actually made were pretty good though. Every miss was out front.

Back squats:

120kg 3x3

Finally getting to like back squats again, which almost certainly means I will begin hating front squats Should probably increase the volume but I was a bit tired after 40 odd snatches

DylanJM

8th August

Cleans:

80kg 3x3

60kg 2x3 did these from the floor pausing below the knee


Jerk from rack:

Triples at various weights, legs were really tired from the cleans so couldn't even get to 70kg. Note to self, do jerks first Will do some jerks tomorrow to compensate.

Front squats:

Not arsed, legs disappeared today just wasn't happening.

DylanJM

Today:

Deadlifted up to 160 for the lulz. Tried 167.5 , didn't even leave the floor right arse cheek felt like exploding lol

This week has been absolutely terrible, I didn't even bother logging yesterdays attempt at training. Gonna stop messing around next week and start training properly.

DylanJM

Today:

Decided to finally pull my finger out and start training properly. Started Glenn Pendlay's beginner program cos I'm sure he knows hell of a lot more about weightlifting than I do


Snatches:

bar x loads
40kg x 3
45kg x 2
50kg x 2

52.5kg 10 x 1

Only missed one when my brain shut off. Some of the first one felt pretty snappy which is a first



Cleans:

2 clean pulls from the floor + 1 hang clean from below knee = 1 rep

bar x few
40kg x 2
50kg x 2
60kg x 1

65kg x 5 sets

Actually liked this exercise, felt good doing the pulls before the clean.



Push presses:

bar 2 x 5
40kg x 5

50kg 3 x 5

Warmed up doing these from the front, wrists fooking hated it so did the work sets from behind the neck with a medium grip. I hate this exercise but I think that's cos I'm terrible at them, so I think I'll stick with them until I get good at them


Back squats:

40kg x 5
70kg x 3
90kg x 2

110kg 3 x 5

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

2 pulls from floor + hang snatch from below knee = 1 rep

52.5kg 5 x 1

Wasn't sweeping the bar into the hip enough, I think this is because I'm not used to doing hang snatches.



Clean and jerks:

70kg 7 x 1

Was meant to be 10 singles but everything went to shíte so gave up. Need to learn to jerk



Front squats:

100kg 3 x 3

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

52.5kg 5 x 2

Warm ups and first five reps were grand, good even Then I started missing forward, missed about five. Eventually got all the doubles in the end. Funnily enough when I started taking less time setting up they got better



Cleans:

Clean pull from floor + clean from the hip = 1 rep

65kg 5 x 1

Made everything, cleaning from the hips feels a bit strange but I'll get used to it.



Rack jerks:

60kg 5 x 2


Backsquats:


112.5kg 3 x 5

DylanJM

Today:


Snatches:

2 pulls + snatch from hip = 1 rep

bar x few
40kg 3 x 1
45kg 3 x 1
50kg 2 x 1

52.5kg 5 x 1

Not too bad, only missed twice, not really used to snatching from the hip so did a good few warm ups.



Clean and jerk

60kg 5 x 2

Jerk is getting better, felt like I could of gone heavier but played it safe. I don't want to get ahead of myself like I usually do.



Backsquats

115kg 3 x 5

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

Took ages to warm up so did about a million warm up snatches

55kg 10 x 1

Only one miss. Snatches were mostly fine, last few were caught slightly on my toes rather than my heels.

60kg x 1 Best snatch of the day, miles better than any of the 55kg ones
65kg x 1 PR lololololol snatch is now only 7.5kg less than my best ever jerk, strong imbalance Was a pretty snatch as well, better than most of the singles @ 55kg


Cleans:

Clean from hip + clean from below knee = 1 rep

Loads of warm ups.

67.5kg 5 x 1


OH Press

47.5kg 5 x 3

I have the pressing strength of a small child


Front squats

105kg 3 x 3

No legs at this point, hard.

DylanJM

Today

Hungover. Gigantic torn callus. Fell forward with a heavy squat. Nearly died. The end.

DylanJM

Today


Snatches:

Blah blah warm ups

57.5kg 6 x 1 eugh was meant to be ten singles but they started going to shíte

50kg 3 x 2 did three doubles to make up for giving up, these were actually pretty fast


Cleans:

clean pull from floor + clean from hip = 1 rep

67.5kg 5 x 1 No problems


Backsquat:

117.5kg 5 x 3 Take two on these Pretty tough many a grunt was made


I wish I was Pyrros Dimas aka Power jerkage:

40kg 3 x 3 Decided to do these instead of push presses because I despise push presses and there should be more carry over from these.

I dunno these felt pretty good but looked ugly a fuark on camera I think I prefer the feel of these to splits but that might change when I actually do them with actual weight

DylanJM

Today

I give up, I need coaching, ECB on Monday I think.

DylanJM

Today

Did loads of bar work for the snatch. I'm well over my little hissy fit that I had on Wednesday.
Didn't put any weight on because my hands are are in bits at the moment and want them to heal by Monday.

Did back squat singles up to 140kg.


Looking forward to heading up the ECB on Monday. Change of scenery will hopefully do me some good

DylanJM

Today

Went up to ECB, what a place. Wayne's a great guy made me feel very welcome. Was pretty epic watching him walk around the place, watching everyone lift, then just go over to a bar with something ridiculous on it and clean and jerk it casually.
Dunno if there was any boardsies there but if there was I was the gobshíte down the end in the stripey green and white top.
Wayne just let me go ahead and do my own thing, so I just did a bunch of stuff not really sticking to anything in particular, just did what felt was doable on the day,

Santches

Bunch of triples and doubles up to a 60kg double. Weren't too bad, I was smashing myself in the pubic bone quite a bit but I pretty much always do this so nothing new there


Clean and jerk

Few doubles and singles up to 86kg for a single. Missed twice then got it on the third attempt.
Did 3 x 2 @ 70kg afterwards


Backsquat

120kg 3 x 5


Pretty good day all in all. Pretty good atmosphere around the place even though I don't really know anyone but it sure beats training on my own.
The only downside is no showers which is a bit of a pain as I was sweating absolute balls all the way home on the train

Welcome! The place is savage now since everything has moved into the one big room and the platforms are finished. I reckon the weightlifiting part will really take off now since everyone can see it now whereas it was kinda separate before.

DylanJM wrote: »

There were a few of us there. Inspector Coptoor & Frogdog were there. I didn't get down till pretty late tonight though so didn't notice you until Wayne was talking about you after. He was impressed you had taught yourself!

DylanJM

Today

In ECB again today

Snatches:

blah blah warm up

53kg 3 x 3
55kg 2 x 2
58kg x 1
53kg 3 x 3

Terrible, looking down in the catch which meant I was forward the whole time.
Smash all the pubic bone.
Hands were eaten alive as well

Clean and jerks:

67kg 3 x 2
73kg 1 x 2
77kg 2 x 1 except I'm only after realizing I only did one, retard.
67kg 3 x 2 so tired at this point, missed a clean

Jerks were actually quite solid today, minimum pressing out.

Front squats:

85kg x 5
90kg x 5 fingers nearly ripped off
95kg x 5 changes grip, ah that's better
100kg x 5
105kg x 5

First time I've ever done fives on the front squat, didn't mind it actually.
Last rep @ 105 was tough.

Pullage of the clean variety

90kg 3 x 3
100kg 3 x 3

Woooo got to test out my new ironmind straps. Shame I had already got like five blisters/callouses at this point. Might start snatching with straps until my hands get better.

DylanJM

Toaday

Snatch:

53kg 2 x 3
57kg 2 x 2
60kg x 1
55kg 2 x 2

One miss, the single at 60 was the best snatch of the lot.

Jerk from split:

40kg 6 x 3

Meh, never done these before. It showed

Front squats:

110kg 5 x 3

Single leg RDL

6kg dumbbell 3 x 8(each leg)

Push press

40kg x 5
45kg x 5
50kg x 5
55kg x 5
55kg x 3 sooo tired

Power cleaned the first reps as the squats stands were being used.

DylanJM

Today

Woe is me

Snatches:

53kg 2 x 3
57kg 2 x 2
59kg x 1
53kg 3 x 3

every single one absolute shíte

Clean and jerk:

67kg 3 x 3
73kg 2 x 2
78kg x 1

Smashed myself in the chin with a jerk during warm ups
Also had to switch bars during the triples cos the one I was using, it's sleeves kept locking up which made receiving the bar during the clean impossible.
Jerks were shíte.

Front squats:

90kg x 5
95kg x 5
100kg x 5
105kg x 5
110kg x 4

Disgusting.

Snatch pulls:

70kg 3 x 3
75kg 2 x 3

The only good thing about today.
Whatever way I extend during these is much better than when I actually snatch.
My mission for Wednesday is to try and replicate this extension with my full snatches.


After all that emoness I decided to do some bar work. Did about a zillion triples.
Managed to transfer the way I extend during pulls to the snatch.
Felt much better, less smashing of the pubic bone

DylanJM

Today

Snatches:

Went full on retard and did next Mondays snatches instead of todays

53kg 2 x 3
57kg x 2
59kg x 1
62kg x 2 fails

Realised I was a dope and left it there. Snatches are finally getting a bit better though.

Jerk from box:

50kg 2 x 3
60kg 2 x 3
65kg 1 x 3
70kg 1 x 2

Shíte, I was thinking way too much about my foot work and keeping my back leg bent which made me forget the other stuff.

Front squats:

90kg x 5
95kg x 5
100kg x 5
105kg x 5
110kg x 5

Left calf was a tad dodgey during these, feels fine now though.

Clean pulls:

80kg 3 x 3
90kg 3 x 3

Starting to like pulls :pac:

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

54kg 2 x 3
57kg 2 x 2
59kg x 1

Finally remembering how to snatch, minimal hip smash fatality

Clean and jerks:

LOLOLOLOL

Shoulders felt like they were going to explode, I've also forgotten how to jerk completely

Cleans were awful as well. My turn over into the rack position has turned to absolute shíte.

I'm gonna do a fúcktonne of bar work over the weekend to try and iron these problems out.

Back squats:

105kg x 5
110kg x 5
115kg x 5
120kg x 5
125kg x 5

SLOW

Single arm dumbbell press:

12kg 4 x 8 each arm

Ab pulldowns:

Dunno, something x something.

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

53kg 2 x 3
57kg 2 x 2
59kg x 1
62kg 2 x fail
53kg 2 x 3

Gradually forgot how to snatch as the weight increased. Remembered how when I did the last two triples.

Clean and jerks:

68kg 2 x 3
73kg 2 x 2
77kg x 1

So many misses.

I've completely forgotten how to jerk. I'll be jerking from the blocks on Wednesday which will hopefully remedy it.

Front squats:

95kg x 5
100kg x 5
105kg x 5
110kg x 5
115kg x 5

Pretty good, might try 120 x 5 on Wed. Sets of 5 seem to be helping with me get better at keeping my back tight and chest up.

Snatch pulls:

70kg 3 x 3
75kg 2 x 3

Getting these pretty high, to just under my chest, which is pretty frustrating as this should be plenty high enough to snatch.
Yet I couldn't snatch 62 today.


Did some jerk bar work to try and relearn the jerk. Then messed with squat jerks for lulz. Dunno if this will be a viable option but no harm in trying.

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

59kg 8 x 1

Alright, got to eight before I forgot how to snatch. Did a few at 50 afterwards.
Starting to come together, there was one or two that felt really good. Just need to get out of the habit of looking at the floor.

Jerks:

40kg 6 x 3

Trying to relearn the jerk. Some were ok others weren't. My foot position in the split needs to be more consistent.

Front squats:

90kg x 5
95kg x 5
100kg x 5
105kg x 5
110kg x 5

lolololol at me thinking I might do 120 for five after last Monday :pac:

Clean pulls:

80kg 3 x 3
90kg 3 x 3

Running on empty at this stage

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

53kg 2 x 3
57kg x 2
59kg x 1
62kg 2 x 1

Missed the 62 about three times, had to go back to 50 to remember how to snatch.
Went back to 62 and got two singles. That's around 95% or so so I'm happy enough.

Clean and jerks:

68kg 1 x 3 should've been 2 x 3 but retardation occurred
73kg 1 x 2
77kg x 1
80kg 2 x fail

A good amount of misses at 77 but finally got one. Tried 80 but was never happening.
Hopefully next week will be better.

Back squat:

110kg x 5
115kg x 5
120kg x 5
125kg x 5
130kg x 5 tough

140kg x 1
145kg x 1
150kg x 1

Decided to test my 1RM for lulz after doing 5x5. Happy enough, up 10kg on my previous 1RM. My goal is to do 180 before the year is out which I'd say is obtainable.



This week has been pretty tough with college starting back up, literally the longest week of my life.
Monday feels like it was two weeks ago.
Should be back in the swing of things next week.
I really have to inject some positivity into my lifting as the last few weeks I've been pretty negative.
I've decided the jerk is gonna be my bitch for the next two weeks, there's some positivity

DylanJM

Today:

Stupid monsoon.

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

blah blah warms ups

62kg 6 x 1 shoulda been 8 x 1

Meh loads of misses, happy enough that I managed six as I felt shíte today.

Some of the snatches felt just plain weird.

Rack jerks:

40kg 2 x 3
50kg 2 x 3
60kg 2 x 3

Changed grip, feels better when pushing myself under the bar, with a bit of luck the jerk will start coming together now.

Front squats:

110kg x 3
115kg x 3
120kg x 3
125kg x 3
128kg x 1 lol PR

Every set was tough as fuark!

Clean pullage:

80kg 3 x 3
90kg 3 x 3

Alright session in the end. Wasn't motivated at all and had no energy when I was heading in, missing days just seems to throw me off.
Should be back in the swing of things on Friday.

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

53kg 2 x 3
56kg 1 x 2
59kg x 1
63kg 3 x 1

Fine, a few stupid misses due to lack of concentration.

Clean and Jerk:

68kg 2 x 3
73kg 1 x 2
77kg x 1
80kg 3 x 1
68kg 3 x 2

Jerks are coming together slowly, the second 80kg was actually pretty good.
Clean needs improvement, been hitting the bar forward a bit too much recently.

Back squats:

120kg x 3
125kg x 3
130kg x 3
135kg x 3
137kg x 0

Jesus these were tough. First set felt really heavy. Put 137 on the bar and just sat down. Must of sat in the hole for about three seconds before I could get the bar off my back.

RDLs:

50kg 3 x 8

Threw these in as I need some hammies.

DylanJM

Today:

Snatches:

53kg 2 x 3
56kg 2 x 2
59kg x 1
63kg x 1
66kg x 1 One of the best feeling snatches I've ever done.
70kg 4 x f Second one was really close.

Snatches are really coming together at the moment. Think I'll aim for 75kg when I'm testing next week.

Clean and jerk:

Lol did a few warm up, which were terrible.
Shoulder wasn't in the mood and my cleans were shíte.
Did a few 50kg cleans to try and sort out my technique.
Came to the conclusion that I've been looking at the fúcking floor on my cleans for the past two or three weeks

Front squats:

50kg x 3
70kg x 2
100kg x 1
120kg x 1
130kg x 1
135kg x 1
140kg x 1

Happy enough, the 140 felt easier than any 140 back squat I've ever done.

Snatch pulls:

70kg 3 x 3
75kg 3 x 3

Did the last two reps of each set without lowering the bar back to the floor, just paused 'bout an inch or two from the floor and pulled from there.

Paudee

Give us a loan of your front squat there kid.

DylanJM

Happily, you'll have to give me a few kilos from your jerk though.

:pac:

DylanJM

Snatches:

56kg 2 x 2
59kg x 1
62kg 2 x f

Not really feeling it today in the snatch, not too bothered, technique is getting there.

Clean and jerks:

68kg 3 x 2
73kg 2 x 2
77kg x 2
80kg 3 x f

Need to stop hitting the bar forward on the clean. Shoulder less painful on jerks today

Back squats:

50kg x 3
70kg x 2
100kg x 1
110kg x 1
120kg x 1
130kg x 1
140kg x 1
150kg x 1
152kg x f
152kg x 1 Slowest squat ever! Once I came out of the hole I stalled at parallel for an eternity, literally about three seconds

My front/back squat ratio is a bit strange, 140/152, I ain't complaining though

RDLs:

50kg 4 x 8

Ab pulldownz:

something x something, a couple of twenty rep sets is about all I remember.


Testing next week on either Wednesday or Friday, haven't decided yet.
Think I'll aim for 75 in the snatch and 90 in the clean and jerk. Until then I ain't doin nuttin.

Today:

Body weight: 89kg this morning

Snatch:

40kg 2 x 3
45kg x 2
50kg x 1
55kg x 1
60kg x 1
65kg x 1
70kg x 1 PR Felt amazing

75kg 3 x f One was really close, missed behind. Wayne said to throw a few more kilos on.

77kg 2 or 3 misses

80kg 3 x f

All the misses are due to looking at the ground like a gobshíte, once I sort this things should be peachy.



Clean and Jerk:

Meh, got as far as 80 and gave up trying the jerk. I was a bit worn out after the snatches I think.

Cleaned 85 and 90, 90 is a pathetic clean PR. Nearly exploded my ankle on one of the cleans.
Tried 94 a couple of times.


I'm going back on Friday to max the clean and jerk, if I get 90 I'll be slightly satisfied.

DylanJM

Today:

Body weight: 90ish kg


Clean and jerks:

40kg x few
50kg x few
60kg x 1
70kg x 1
80kg x 1
84kg 2x1 one fail
86kg x 1
90kg x 1 took it for a bit of a walk PR

94kg x nearly snapped myself in two. Was caught off guard when I found the bar locked out above my head and started walking around trying to save it.
Ended up looking up at the bar and felt my back starting to go, managed to throw the bar away forward and ended up on my arse wondering if I was paralysed or not
It literally felt like I was about to fold backwards.

Cleaned 99kg and missed 101kg by falling backwards when I racked the bar, also scary.


So that's the end of my first ever program, 70/90 @ 90kg body weight, I'm actually happy. My end of year goals are 100/120 but I think 90/110 is a bit more realistic.

New program next week, onwards and upwards.

Paudee

That Jerk fail was the best thing i've ever seen!

DylanJM

Today:

Waiting to get a new program so just dicked about. Back is still a tad tender as well

Fúcking lol! Hammered no front squats today. Walked out with 110kg, did one rep, cried on the inside and put the bar back.
Did loads of 40kg snatches and attempted some 40kg c+j but shoulder said no.
Back to the grind next week.

First double session of my program. Was a bit unsure of how I'd find doing so much but tbh it turned out quite well.
Took a fair few hours to get through everything though.
Really happy that the jerk is coming together, widened my grip in the clean as well which helped, especially with the lock out.

DylanJM

Nothing worth logging today. Will hopefully be back on form on Wednesday.

DylanJM

Today:

Saturday 3rd Nov.

Did light squats on Friday so decided to do some yesterday. Worked up in singles to 130kg then did 135kg for a single set of five.

Was happy enough to get the five as the first rep felt like a million kilos.

60kg 1 x 2
63kg 3 x 1

130kg x 2
140kg x 2

63kg 5 x 1 was meant to be eight singles, less said the better. Seem to have lost any speed I thought I had


Clean and jerk:

73kg 1 x 2 one clean then two jerks, meant to be three jerks
73kg 1 x 1 then I only went and tried to fúcking kneecap myself missing the second jerk out front, now have a lovely lump above my knee.
78kg x clark city, pathetic. Haven't clarked a lift in ages so I am really annoyed with myself.


Front squat:


90kg x 5
100kg x 5
110kg x 5
