i really need to get a hockey ball or something though

If you're going to be using it on a wooden floor, use a solid rubber ball that won't slip about. Lacrosse ball or you'd get a solid rubber ball in a decent pet shop in the dog toys section.

I have been stealing the doggy's little kong ball ... how did you know!

Slipped on the nutrition plan today and didn't eat remotely enough carbs, had eggs and salmon and a gf cupcake and I'm utterly shattered
Need to get with it! carbs for everyone!!
also i still need to eat like 1200 more cals today :rolleyes:

Are they calling achieving goals 'quests' now? :P

Great work though, tough session.

oly class today!
it went really well like i was all fresh in my snatches though i was gettin a bit faint in the heavier CNJs!

today i had to ...
snatch from the hips which was odd to get the hang of
snatch using the big girls bar :eek:


got a new snatch PR 28kg :D
CNJ went up to 38 for a double
came home and did a couple negatives, hung on for 2-3s for the first one

^ finally timed it properly & hung on for 4 seconds on the first one. wow

grand stuff

oly class
snatching started off with a shooting pain up my arm
hockey ball rolling on the elbow sorted it out but i was a bit off after that. combo of learning to stabilise and being convinced any weight on the arm would hurt it again (it didn't really)

so now i will add elbow rolling to the list of things to do

hang cleans and cleans above the knee were grand, up to 38
was all set to do a double at 40 but then we stopped ;(
front squats, rows

everything hurts ^^

oops did an extra rep cos i can't count
ps i found all the 5kg plates. they were all in the women's area squat rack. all of them. i have no idea why

Negative Pull-Up
3 reps


i should add that even though i keep wimping out on the singles on the deadlifts and switching to reps, it feels a lot better already, setting up better etc, and i can definitely see the benefits
but then i look at the clock and feel like i'm gonna be there foreverrrrr

good stuff

Hanley

It takes 7.5 minutes to do the singles.

Your first rep is always the dodgiest on the DLs.

The point of multiple singles is that you get to practice the toughest part a lot.

By doing a set of 5 at the end you get 27% less practice doing that.

Yeah i was reading up on it
Ok ill try harder to stick with them

Hanley

Are you due a test any time soon?

No i still have a few more weeks. It's been slow this time! Especially because i messed up at the start and thought i was doing 3 sessions on each weight before progressing so i ended up a couple weeks behind pretty quick.

Tonight i had oly instead of Saturday as gymfreak is competing this weekend! Woo!

Snatches were about HTFU and getting used to the big girl bar
Got better at it for sure

CnJ comfy new pb of 41kg,twice

Showed off my awesome progress at negatives at the end

Feel great after that

I didn't have the time or energy for the proper deadlifts
Ahh it was mostly energy. I nearly didn't go at all today but a bodyweight squat isn't gonna lift itself???

I had to work late yesterday so no oly :mad: and I ate about 1100 cals for the day oops
got home at 7pm today having eaten 450 cals oops again
some porridge and protein and vitargo and I was set to squat and that was it!
I made a new friend at the gym too
lol
I'm really happy with the squats
I want a bodyweight squat
somewhere around 80 - 82.5

was smothered with a cold and working a lot
and at a wedding

today was good!
oly class
did a lot of snatches up to 20 successfully i think it was
i missed the 25s on the girls bar a few times and got fed up
THEN we did this thing where you start off on your tiptoes and elbows up and BAM drop under it
that helped loads and then i knocked out snatches on 22 or 23 without half the issues i had before
(except my wrist, it's killin me)

cleans were those umm hang clean things from the hips
up to 40. Then I made the mistake of counting the weight on the bar and panicked at 41 and missed :rolleyes:
I am well able for 41 like

then jerks from the stands, did up to 35 that was grand

then negative pull ups!
I hung on for AAAAAGES for these!!! i was so happy making progress!

oly class was fcukin awesome today

I took ibuprofen for my wrist so no worries!
And then I learned the trick to snatching!
It's pretend to be batman*!! :D

Powerlifting: ahhh I've been trying to work out when I'll get a session in this week. I kinda wish crunch would open later than 10 as it'll be early mornings and probably late evenings this week, it's a bit mental.
I may be able to get in a session on weds or fri, fingers crossed. Then definitely sunday.
I need to squaaaaaat ;(

hello
so basically i have been working early morning til the gym closes so i haven't been able to get near it
then i was sick as a dog all weekend and couldn't stand so no oly on saturday and no lifting yesterday either. only bed
today i went and was convinced i was gonna fall over for most of the class but i am glad i went because i am addicted to lifting

we learned hookgrip for snatching today, seemed grand
had to keep it light

I didn't keep a strict record of what we were doing but I think this is it:

Snatch
7 kg x 2 reps
10 kg x 2 reps
15 kg x 2 reps
18 kg x 2 reps

Snatches were rock solid today ... I was really happy. We used the big girls bar early on and it wasn't a problem. I feel like I've had a little breakthrough on them
We did 2 pulls before each snatch but I duno how to log them on fitocracy... maybe it's "snatch pull"...

30 kg x 2 reps
30 kg x 2 reps

Jerks are too delicate - need to be more aggressive instead of dainty :pac:

You mean a singlet? :P

i can't word good

ok adidas calls them that as well, i didnt make it up
http://www.adidasspecialtysports.ie/weightlifting/competition-wear/weightlifting-suits

tried on the red version of this
http://www.adidasspecialtysports.ie/product/weightlifting-suit/Z11187
i want the blue one

Sugar Free

Adidas with their marketing, making singlets sound cool! In fairness there may be some differences compared to a singlet used for powerlifting - the zip and non-slip material on the chest being the obvious ones.

gymfreak

The terms weightlifting suit and singlet are used interchangeable. And depending on what model/ brand you get determines whether it has a zip/no zip etc Older ranges don't zip up at the back where as the newer ranges do

I would like to note that I tried to go to gym today and got stopped at the ironman road closures I didn't realise about :mad::(

Might walk the doggy later instead ...

It's only a HALF ironman an' all.

Think it's called a Tinman.

ba dum tish

went out with the doggy
it was 45 mins or so
I think I broke him

today's snatches weren't half as awesome as saturday's by which i mean the bar went flying at the wall behind me and took down the gym banner
no half measures
snatches: 13 up to 20 in singles. few doubles

CNJ: arms and shoulders were screaming at this stage and i couldn't lift anything. practised jerks and got a bit better at the feet. 25 up to 35 today.

missed the last jerk - had no energy left because i overdid it on the snatch balances, and just gave up

went out for a jog ~ 3.3km / 20 mins
then walked the doggy and we jogged a small bit of it
total distance tonight ~6-7km of which ~4km jog
said i'd do a 5km race next week, I think i'll end up walking half of it like last time at this rate

...but despite all my whingeing i do enjoy running at night, and i nearly turned around and did all of that again

That second one would only make me want to jog home, smoke a joint and eat a packet of biscuits. If I was into that kind of stuff....

went out for a jog ~ 3.3km / 20 mins
then walked the doggy and we jogged a small bit of it
total distance tonight ~6-7km of which ~4km jog
said i'd do a 5km race next week, I think i'll end up walking half of it like last time at this rate

...but despite all my whingeing i do enjoy running at night, and i nearly turned around and did all of that again

Did the 5k didn't come last didn't die the end
Actually i think i did better than last time

testing day!!!
so between lack of training and losing 3.5kg i was like, if i hit last time's numbers i'll be happy

but no, i jumped my squat from a solid 70kg to a solid 76 kg not quite bodyweight yet but almost there!!!
deadlift was +2.5kg to 110kg!
fitocracy says my 45 bench wasnt a pr. maybe i hit 46 last time?
Also note to self, lucozade and coffee for breakfast, a boiled egg for lunch, is not enough fuel for going to test >>

really happy with all that now!
not bad progress from 0 to 76 in a year and half!!

missed the jerks - marginally on the first one as i just didn't lockout properly, didn't punch hard enough. the second one wasn't even close :pac:

happy with that now

band assisted pull ups - nose is going over the bar now for two of them
almost there

did a few bits for core also

i was wondering why i was so tired tonight
then i logged the workout and went "oh that's why"
:pac:

my wrist is utterly killing me since before it. im startng to think it's the pull ups or something

toto, we're not in kansas anymore

went for a walk which was intended to be a jog but was just heavy and sluggish
brought my phone to see if i'm overestimating my usual distances. measured at the halfway point, the one i usually log as ~4.4 is really 4.2. not too bad so!
i didn't do 4.4 though, was dark and lonely outside so i detoured through a village

3.4km in half an hour
lols isn't that my jogging pace >.>


also the cookies&cream myprotein flavour is lovely

"i wonder why im so tired and can't CNJ much anymore" :rolleyes:
I am pretty sure that's what we did on the snatches. we did a LOT of 23kg snatches from the floor anyway
triples!

/ded

watched gf doing a snatch thing without moving her feet in between reps
wowww


ETA:I do think i'm getting better at them though despite the moaning
positioning and pulling is better
