    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 :)

    Today:

    Stupid monsoon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Snatches:

    blah blah warms ups

    62kg 6 x 1 shoulda been 8 x 1

    Meh loads of misses, happy enough that I managed six as I felt shíte today.

    Some of the snatches felt just plain weird.

    Rack jerks:

    40kg 2 x 3
    50kg 2 x 3
    60kg 2 x 3

    Changed grip, feels better when pushing myself under the bar, with a bit of luck the jerk will start coming together now.

    Front squats:

    110kg x 3
    115kg x 3
    120kg x 3
    125kg x 3
    128kg x 1 lol PR

    Every set was tough as fuark!

    Clean pullage:

    80kg 3 x 3
    90kg 3 x 3

    Alright session in the end. Wasn't motivated at all and had no energy when I was heading in, missing days just seems to throw me off.
    Should be back in the swing of things on Friday.

    Today:

    Snatches:

    53kg 2 x 3
    56kg 1 x 2
    59kg x 1
    63kg 3 x 1

    Fine, a few stupid misses due to lack of concentration.

    Clean and Jerk:

    68kg 2 x 3
    73kg 1 x 2
    77kg x 1
    80kg 3 x 1
    68kg 3 x 2

    Jerks are coming together slowly, the second 80kg was actually pretty good.
    Clean needs improvement, been hitting the bar forward a bit too much recently.

    Back squats:

    120kg x 3
    125kg x 3
    130kg x 3
    135kg x 3
    137kg x 0

    Jesus these were tough. First set felt really heavy. Put 137 on the bar and just sat down. Must of sat in the hole for about three seconds before I could get the bar off my back.

    RDLs:

    50kg 3 x 8

    Threw these in as I need some hammies.

    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 :D

    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.

    Give us a loan of your front squat there kid.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Happily, you'll have to give me a few kilos from your jerk though.

    :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Snatches:
    53kg 2 x 3
    56kg 2 x 2
    59kg x 1
    62kg 2 x f

    Not really feeling it today in the snatch, not too bothered, technique is getting there.

    Clean and jerks:

    68kg 3 x 2
    73kg 2 x 2
    77kg x 2
    80kg 3 x f

    Need to stop hitting the bar forward on the clean. Shoulder less painful on jerks today :)

    Back squats:

    50kg x 3
    70kg x 2
    100kg x 1
    110kg x 1
    120kg x 1
    130kg x 1
    140kg x 1
    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 :D

    My front/back squat ratio is a bit strange, 140/152, I ain't complaining though :D

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Body weight: 89kg this morning

    Snatch:

    40kg 2 x 3
    45kg x 2
    50kg x 1
    55kg x 1
    60kg x 1
    65kg x 1
    70kg x 1 PR Felt amazing

    75kg 3 x f One was really close, missed behind. Wayne said to throw a few more kilos on.

    77kg 2 or 3 misses

    80kg 3 x f

    All the misses are due to looking at the ground like a gobshíte, once I sort this things should be peachy.



    Clean and Jerk:

    Meh, got as far as 80 and gave up trying the jerk. I was a bit worn out after the snatches I think.

    Cleaned 85 and 90, 90 is a pathetic clean PR. Nearly exploded my ankle on one of the cleans.
    Tried 94 a couple of times.


    I'm going back on Friday to max the clean and jerk, if I get 90 I'll be slightly satisfied.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    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 :D
    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.

    That Jerk fail was the best thing i've ever seen!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Waiting to get a new program so just dicked about. Back is still a tad tender as well :(

    Snatches:

    Dunno, some up to 70kg for two misses. Wasn't feeling it today at all.

    Clean and jerk:

    Just some bar and 40kg tekkers.

    Front squats:

    110kg x 5
    115kg x 5
    120kg x 5
    125kg x 3
    130kg x 2

    Need to get the squats back on track, will hopefully hit 130 x 5 by the end of the week.

    Snatch pulls:

    70kg 3 x 3
    80kg 2 x 3


    Gonna hammer the front squat this week and do some technique work on the classic lifts then start a new program next week.

    Fúcking lol! Hammered no front squats today. Walked out with 110kg, did one rep, cried on the inside and put the bar back.
    Did loads of 40kg snatches and attempted some 40kg c+j but shoulder said no.
    Back to the grind next week.

    First double session of my program. Was a bit unsure of how I'd find doing so much but tbh it turned out quite well.
    Took a fair few hours to get through everything though.
    Really happy that the jerk is coming together, widened my grip in the clean as well which helped, especially with the lock out.

    Saturday 3rd Nov.

    Did light squats on Friday so decided to do some yesterday. Worked up in singles to 130kg then did 135kg for a single set of five.

    Was happy enough to get the five as the first rep felt like a million kilos.

    Snatch:

    55kg 2 x 3
    60kg 1 x 2

    120kg x 2
    130kg x 2
    140kg x 2
    145kg x 2

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM

    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.

    73kg x 1 PR
    75kg x 1 PR Missed twice got it on the third go
    77kg 2 x f Slow getting under

    Wednesday 15th Nov.


    Snatch:

    Multiple attempts at 75kg and 77kg, came nowhere near any of them.


    Clean and jerk:

    50kg x few
    60kg x few
    70kg x 1
    75kg x 1
    80kg x 1
    85kg x 1
    88kg x f needed to be more snappy with my lock out
    90kg x 1 learns how to jerk
    92kg x 1
    94kg x 1
    96kg x 1
    98kg x 1
    100kg x 1 delighted :D

    Absolutely delighted, first triple figure clean and jerk. Have no idea where it came from when I missed 88kg I thought I was going to struggle to even match my previous max. Wayne said my lock outs were soft so I focused on being more snappy overhead which really helped. The cleans were pretty good through out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭DylanJM


    Today:

    Snatch:

    Warm up consisted of snatches and powers with 40kg and 50kg.

    78kg 2 x 2
    73kg 2 x 3

    Meh squatting aint going great at the minute, gonna focus on it over the christmas break and give the classical lifts a break for a month or so. Want a 2x body weight back squat by the end of January, probably a bit optimistic but that's the target.

    55kg 3 x 3

    Cleans (no jerk):

    No misses but they weren't the greatest cleans I've ever done, felt weak off the floor, couldn't keep tight at all.

    Back squat Front squats:

    Tried to back squat but hip said no so decided the front squat instead.

    100kg 5 x 5

    My front squat has gone to the dogs.

    Today:

    The great carb shortage of 2012

    Snatch:

    60kg 12 x 1

    Messed around with my start position, think I have it sorted now. The second last snatch was a good 'un :)

    Clean and Jerk

    73kg 1 x 3
    78kg 1 x 2
    80kg x 1
    73kg 2 x 2

    Shoulder nearly exploded so decided to cut my losses and give the jerks a miss. Really annoyed cos the shoulder hasn't bothered my in two or three weeks :'(

    Front squats:

    100kg x 5
    105kg x 5
    110kg 3 x 5

    Worst front squats I've ever done, ever. Last set was the hardest set of anything I've ever done in my entire life.

    SA DB Press:

    12kg x 6
    14kg x 6
    16kg x 6
    18kg x 6

    Did these standing up, one arm at a time. My new favorite exercise.
