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.0 -
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.0 -

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

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 60/80.0 -
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 0 -
-
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 0 -
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 0 -

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.0 -
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.0 -
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 50 -
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 30 -
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 50 -
-
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.0 -

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 0 -

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 0 -
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 0 -
-
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.0 -
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

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

Today
Snatches:

53kg 2 x 3

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.

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

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 0 -

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.0 -

Clean and jerks:
68kg 3 x 2
73kg 2 x 2

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.0 -

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.0 -

Front squats:

Today:
Snatch:
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.

Front squat:
90kg x 5
100kg x 5
110kg x 5

120kg x 5
