    Was very tired when I got up this morning and have loads of study to do so I debated even going to training
    I went
    turned out it was PR testing day. I had NO idea. Apparently they've been saying it for the last 2 weeks so I must have been in la la land or something.

    Snatch - 30kg (+2)
    CNJ - 45kg (+1)

    current bw - 81.5kg

    I should mention that I did successfully snatch 33kg, stood up with it... then got a bit overexcited or something and threw it behind me like a complete gobsh!te. I have no idea. Anyway so yeah it doesn't count and I tried again and failed completely

    Pretty disappointed with the CNJ. I tried 48 a few times and couldn't even clean it. Hadn't brought any food or anything so I was fairly exhausted by that stage. Any other day of the week I'd say I could clean 48 in my sleep, it's the jerk i fight with

    Overall it wasn't bad though! I never thought I'd even snatch 28 again nevermind a PR of 30 and never even thought of 33! And I got to update our PR board for both :D

    Saw gf training a bit again at the end. I want to be her when I grow up :P:D

    Time for pizza and study now!

    I think it's a case of there not being enough hours in the day at the minute.

    Yeah what alf said. Smothered with a cold and cramming big time for my exam in 2 weeks. Dreaming of my holidays at the end of oct when i will just move into the gym


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 393 ✭✭ninamc


    I see. Wishing you all the best for your exam. Hopefully all the hard work be worth it, and the barbell will still be there when you're finished. You still need a bit of downtime though :)

    25 kg x 12 reps
    20 kg x 12 reps

    note: start on 20 next time. Even 25 was a bit ambitious after the paused benching. had to cut a set short here. also because the dizziness was getting too much and i nearly fell over :rolleyes:

    I've been that soldier. On holidays, got up in the middle of the night and so I wouldn't make any noise I pulled the heavy door after me before turning on light.

    Except when I reached out for the light switch in pitch dark, I managed to slot my finger between the door frame and heavy closing door.

    Crunch.

    Lol at not wanting to wake anyone.

    Think the program is working for me as usual ... pushing hard while still doing squats as carefully as i can. Numbers are going up
    Struggling a bit on 6 reps ;s
    I think all the benching is definitely working

    week 4 is over now so i'm halfway, time to repeat the last 4 weeks but better and heavier! there were some target numbers i wasn't hitting so i will try that

    Gotta love those sessions. When everything just clicks and lifts you never imagined being easy are just that.
