WHAT ABOUT MAH LEGS, CHARLIE MURPHY??!!

right:

YTWLS
Cuban presses
band stuff
quad stretch
split squat
eye of newt

OHS: bar
snatch:

Bar
40kg
45kg
50kg
55kgx1x3
60kgx1x2 (I think)

happy for the moment, I couldn't snatch an empty bar a few weeks ago. Really trying to push the bar up on receipt. Looking at videos, I seem to pull the ****er high, have a cup of tea, float down and catch the bar when it's travelled about 30cm downwards, Also chasing the thing due to unfinished pull screws position and causes further shoulder rapage. See here (this is possibly the lift that ****ed both shoulders too):



If the shoulders ain't pushing up and spectacularly jacked then I don't see how it's not going to lead to various forms of ouchitis. I also need to work on this mythical third pull, which would save me having to deal with such things, as shoulders and elbows would lock out at exactly the point of max bar elevation. I can't think that fast and sure as hell can't move that fast. I reckon I need to do more tall snatches hang snatches, overhead SHURGZ and possibly muscle snatches (so there's some strength in that wide position). Also get jacked.

Anyhoo...
Clean and jerked up to an ugly 85, then back to 80 for about 5 singles. Felt ok but still leaning forward on the drive. up to 75 looks perfect but then shenanigans occur.

Front squat:
3 ladders at 90kg
ok

Deadlift (all double overhand hookless)
120x3, 130x3, 140x1(+10s hold), 1, 1
Ok this is weird, they are still baby weights but I don't remember ever holding 140 for any length of time with double OH grip. I've been pinch gripping plates and doing rows without hooking but no other grip work, err well apart from cleans!

In conclusion: Blah blah blah blah.

howth hill again (hybrid), 11.35. FUUUUUU!!!!
there was a headwind tough. hit 62.4km/h on the descent and could hear the wind whistling in me beard.

aight, didn't spend half an hour warmin up snatches today and went straight to clean and jerks...

10 singles at 85kg, two dodgy ones but the rest were nice

Front squat:
3 ladders at 95kg, not too bad. let a massive fart on the 2nd rep of the last set. 100kg next time

deads: 3x3x135, still not too bad. Still using double overhand

jerk drives: 80-100-110x3

Starting to think I might make some progress some time in the future.

I'm sure the SPF will have rockets on their triple-ply suits for next season

He prays to Sir Isaac Newton to alter the laws of gravity momentarily before he lifts. If he does not comply it is death to all.

He never answers me

Can't find any virgins on de nort soide and all my enemies are dead!

Right, today
snatched an almighty sixty five entire kilograms for 4 singles. Sore today.

Back squat: 3 ladders at 115kg, was gettin a bit loose at the end. I'll go to 120 next time but might do 1-2 ladders instead

Jerk drives: 3x3x115kg, managin to stay upright anyway.

Pendlays:
5x3x85kg not too bad. Will try 5x90 next time.

TONNZZZ: 4640kg, which is about 15% of what an actual weightlifter would do twice a day! Edit: Armanau does 30 tonnes a session, Illin 64 a day. Jebus.

Think I'll have to train tomorrow as I'm on hairy planes on friday.

Clean and jerk: 88kg for ten singles. Not too bad. Some ropey ones towards the end

Front squat: 105kg, 1-2-1 1
Bugger. Hams were ****ed today for some reason.

Pendlays: 80x5, 90x5
not too bad. Grip is startin to become a factor.

TONZ: Errr... 2255kg

Gonna retry the FS at the same weight next time and see what happens.

Edit: Went to a physio about the shoulder, no impingement, rotator cuff muscles fine. Upper traps are too jacked, I've no mid-back, way too much external rotation (pitcher amounts) and winged-to-**** scapulae that sit too high and wide. This might explain why the snatch receiving position is so crap. Anyway, the pain is in the joint as a result of some compensation of various things when I'm lifting and there's a bunch of crap in there too. Basically need to work postural stuff because I'm lazy and slouch. Got some stuff to do to correct the posture. I'll also have to sit up straight. Might have to work somethin out in the office to help (this probably means that I shouldn't buy that office hammock I was planning )

Cycled 56km between things and stuff. Bleh.

Forgot me shorts so had to train in jeans, they have some stretch so it wasn't too bad.

Clean and jerk: 90 for 5 singles, came forward a little. Nearly dislocated my right shoulder on one of them and finished up with a good one.

Back squattage:
125 for 3 ladders. That's back to PB territory. Might leave the weight the same for the next session as I think the jeans might have given me a kilo or two! </gear whore>

Load: 2700

I'll do some more stuff later if I have time. Stoopid work.

Aye, 1-2-3 is one ladder, I'll add weight if I can get three ladders without blowing an eyeball out on the previous session. It leaves a bit of room to manoeuvre if I feel a bit off.
