WHAT ABOUT MAH LEGS, CHARLIE MURPHY??!!

Right,
Clean and jerked up to 85 for 5 singles. Jerk still a little ponderous.

Rolled out to Ironside then and did some circuit stuff with logs, yokes and farmers handles. Messed about with two man flips on the 900lb tyre and some log clean and presses. Also messed around with stones then and loaded up an 80kg. Couldn't lap the 100. Strange movement, I like it a lot though. Finished with some overhead yoke walks. Spent a good while rambling on about crap afterwards too! Great place.

right, snatched up to 78, not too bad, little sluggish though. Everything hurt during the warmup, wrists, knees elbows! Must've been teh inflammationz from that slice of bread I had last year.

Clean and jerked up to 90 for about 5 singles, cleans were easy but jerks went to hell, no pressouts but a little manky.

Squat: 125x3 and some singles and things at lower weights. Probably a limit set

Chins, max: hit 18. Gonna try once more for 20 on saturday and leave it for another while

Need to back off some things (and go to mcdonalds more)

Do some banded preacher curls off the monolift

I'm pretty sure I'd be murdered if I did that.

Right, felt like a boiled ****e today. Was gonna work to openers for saturday (78/95) but got a bit carried away.

Snatch:
failed 78 about 5 times, made it in the end, upped it to 83 and succeeded on the 2nd attempt, failed 86 twice, close on the first but the left elbow bent a bit . Soft as hell off the floor, that has to be fixed pronto. Second attempt involved me pulling the thing, getting tired and sitting on the floor. Edit: forgot, Hang power snatch: 60x3, legs nearly straight on receipt




Clean and jerked up to 95, brought the grip out wider, which made the jerks a lot easier. Cleaned 100 but blacked out before the jerk so left it there.

was gonna go for a heavy single on the squat but had some sense talked into me. Did a fairly unremarkable single at 125 and some more at 110.

Chins: 11

press 60x3 (killin' time)

Should probably make some sort of training plan for after the nationals. Have some ideas anyway.

Right, lifted in the nationals yesterday. Was planning on competing at 85 but was 87 odd last monday, ditched creatine and carbs and loaded water until the night before, weighed in at 82.5, which is unacceptable!

Snatch:
warmed up early (again). Hit 75 in the warmup, dropped it down to 60 and worked back up. Missed the last warmup at 75 behind and had to get to the platform

78: good, 82: good, 86: missed behind, hadn't locked it out so it was basically too heavy.

No break between the snatch and the clean and jerk and only managed to warm up to 85 before getting called. Decided I was gonna power clean the attempts.

94 was easy so called for 98 which was a bastard of a power clean because I was knackered, jerk was ok though, called for 102 and had to squat clean it, pulled it high enough but was too slow under it and everything collapsed, the head wasn't in it at that stage anyway.

Totalled 180, which was 2kg below the last comp on december but I'm 8kg lighter now. The facilities in jordanstown are unbelievable, everything seemed to run smoothly and there were some serious lifts. The standard seems to be a lot higher this year too so I've a lot of work to do in order to hit what I deem to be a level of non-****ness (100/130 by the looks of things!). Need to push for 90/110 and gain some weight first though.

right, back to actual training.
snatch:
60x3
64x3
68 x6x2 easy

clean deadlift to knee +8s pause x3 110kg. easy

cleans:
65x3x4

Just some target practice here. Was trying to get under as quickly as possible. Think I did something to my knee on the last one, very sore gettin into even an unweighted squat afterwards. Moved it around a bit more and it stopped hurting

back squat:
90x3, 97x3, 105x2x6 grand

planks, 30s holds with 50kg then 60kg. Manageable enough.

knee still feels ok. Wonder if it will in the morning though

Right, still icing the knee, hasn't talked to me today but decided to avoid any knee-bendin' till next week. Anyway, pressed yesterday....

59kg
7-5-4

Obama's gone so I can train again.

Snatched 68 for 6 doubles
cleaned 65 for 4 triples, (target practice)
HSDLW8SPAK: 3x100kg
Deep knee bendin': 3 doubles at 105, knee got a little annoyed so stopped.
chinese rows: 3x15 a side with 40kg
wide grip pulldowns: 60-55-50x7. These are ****ed up.
KURLZ: ez bar+20kg 3x8
planks, +50kg 3x30s

Wore some light knee wraps. good move. Nothin remarkable apart from that. Gonna ice knee this evening and think of adding in some direct ham work at some point.

35 km cycle.

Rolled out to Howth hill and climbed the sutton side in 11.21 (on a MTB). Bit of a tailwind. Went up a second time because I'm an idiot, got passed by a whippet on a road bike like I was standing still :P, 12.09 on the second attempt. I'll try it sometime on a road bike and see if I can get sub-10.

Hmmm.... I know it's not as much fun, but have you considered NOT going FR for
awhile to see how your training would go?

No. Never!

Might separate out the assistance and go a little lighter on it though.
