    What did you use for the bar path? Kinovea?

    Yearp, I had it sitting on the computer for ages and never bothered with it. I wanted to have a look at some new voodoo I've been trying.

    The latest version can show you bar speed and distance travelled, you calibrate a line to 45mm (your plate diameter) and it calculates from there. It does a load of other stuff too, like tracking angles. I'm too **** to bother with that, I just want to see how much I loop the bar.

    Fell off the Universe a bit with training. Bad Ed.
    Today:
    Knackered

    Clean adn jerk
    80x1
    85x1
    90x1
    92.5x2x1. Balls
    85x1
    90x1
    1x2x92.5. Unholy level of ugliness
    85x5x2
    90x1
    **** that.
    1739.75kg of horror

    Frontal
    3x85
    3x90
    3x95
    3x97.5
    1x100
    2x100
    2x100 (failed third)

    1602.25kg

    Total: 3342kg

    Rotten session, kept getting some weird kink thing on the clean where I'd collapse forward a bit, this made the recovery tough, then the jerks were awful. Front squats were basically a bucket full of abortions, I should've called it at the first set, lucky I managed not to blow something out (touch wood).

    Next week's training is going be interesting.

    I'm not sure how this went, something like this:

    clean and squat jerk:

    singles up to 65, lost one behind, damn. Caught one of them funny and it felt like me scap was going to tear off my back. Better leave it there then.

    clean and jerk proper
    75-80-85-90-95-97.5-100(f clean)
    522.5kg

    Jerks started to come good. I felt like crap so don't mind hitting over 95% in those circumstances

    Frontal: 5x5x90
    2250kg

    total: 2772.5kg

    Fronts were pretty good, I had to force everything a bit again today but managed to get through it anyway. I think I might change some stuff next week.

    Cycled a million billion kilometers to the gymnatorium today, took it easy, didn't help. Forgot my weightlifting shoes so warmed up in cycling shoes because I'd nothing better to do, hit 70 for a double, missed 75. Woman then arrived with the shoes, forgot how to snatch for a while, eventually worked up to 84 for a single but it was definitely a max for today.

    Frontal Squats, singles: 90-95-100-105-105

    GHR, 2x10, the stupid thing felt like it was foam rolling my quads (such as they are)

    Tonz: about 50ml of tears and shame :'( :P

    If I have to cycle to training again I'm gonna eat a load of the evil carbs after getting off the bike.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    Did the DCU open, wasn't sure even this morning if I was gonna lift. Managed not to warm up too fast, which was good. Didn't miss any in the warmup and went as far as 78. Opened with 82 but missed it because something weird happened with my foot, nailed the second attempt and finished with 87

    Clean and jerk wasn't 100% in the warmup, Jerk was a bit ponderous. Warmed up to 92, opened with 95, easy (new Eleiko bar on the platform :D), hit 99 without any major hassle too and called 103. Clean was tough (throat hurts from growling it up), jerk was nasty (and a little bit pressed but I'm not giving it back!) but **** it, 1kg PB on the C&J, 190 total, which equals previous comp total PB. Pretty happy. Onward!

    PB's deserve a home brew not that you need an excuse for that but however. Well done.

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    Right,
    snatched up to 84, missed 88 behind and left it,

    Snatch+OHS:
    80x1
    70x(1+2)x2x1
    70x(1+1)x1x3
    :confused:

    Squat of the frontal persuasion:
    5x5x92kg
    I was like a kid who didn't want to do his chores with these.


    saturday's final attempts:
    87 snatch:

    103 clean and jerk:

    Did all that elite scapular stuff (pull, push, inverted row, serratus shrug things), rolled a bunch of things (IT band mostly, managed to release most of it, stretched some things. Pressed 40 for 12, did some snatches on a bosu ball (In fairness, the session was going that way).
    I still need to sort out a program for the seniors. Previous programs have had a million different corrective things but I usually get bored and do doubles and squat. Think I might outsource it so I'm accountable to someone else!

    Lies, it slows me down due to teh aerodynamicz.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    Got about fifteen seconds sleep last night. Clean and jerked 95 I think, planned to do a load of singles with it but nothing worked right. dropped down and back up but the jerk was still deserting me, I actually missed an 85 and pressed an 80. Durn.

    Frontal:
    5x5x94
    not too bad, aside from the usual whingeing. guess the strength is ok today but the part of my brain responsible for coordination is bolloxed.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    Gone off the boil!

    snatched 84 for a single and a pile of singles at 80

    Front squatted 95 for a triple and a few singles at 100.

    more training, food, sleep.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    hm
    Clean and jerk: went back to 80kg and did 5 doubles
    singles at 84-88-92-96, I get a lot slower and less snappy with these and that's around the range I was practicing over the last couple of months.

    Front squat 5x5x96kg

    Hard, that's the most I've done for five on front squats though. Last rep looked like an aborted wildebeast. Rocky gave out to me for being lazy, that was good for a few reps I reckon.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    Trainink in gcg, I I like it:

    snatch 5 doubles at 72, singles at 76, 80, 84, 87, clarked first 90 left two out front. Feck it.

    3 doubles with 80 on cj, fs 3x80,85,90,95, 1x97.5, weird.

    Kev made me do deficit deads. They made me sad. I am weak.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    Clean and jerked a bunch of doubles at 80
    singles at 84-88-92-96(press)

    Front squat, 98kg
    4-5-5-4-2
    I am a wuss, a dizzy one.

    Ridiculous deficit halting snatch deadlifts (RDHSD):
    5x5x75kg


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    Ich Lifte (kinda).
    Did some rolling because my jurassic brobility seems to be going a bit (lazy man slouch)

    Snatch: 5 doubles at 75, singles: 77.5, 80, 82.5, 85, 87.5 (Phail)
    Frontal: singles: 87, 95, 100, 102.5, 105, 110, 112.5 (I had a psychology and faileded)
    deficit snatch things from an almighty height: 5x5x75kg
    Snatch-grip rows 55kg
    horizontal non-elite-insect cable row: 45kg I think
    Planks:
    +woman: 30s
    unweighted: 2x30s
    Wasn't arsed using weights so I summoned a nearby female

    The snatch singles were just kinda "have a go till you miss something but don't get too wound up". Fronts were strong (although me tracksuit was tight enough so I'm, like, a total gear whore.

    I should probably get a job.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    Just clean and jerked today, 5 doubles 80, singles 85-90-95-100(failed jerk)
    wider grip on jerk, dropping elbows and rotating shoulders around. Feels a lot less haphazard than what I had been doing lately.

    Felt ok today.
    frontal: singles: 60-80-90-100-105
    all very fast and easy

    Edit: 105:

    PC+PJ:
    new hand position, some singles at 75kg

    did some scap pullups and made a nuisance of myself for a while.

    Pressed 45 for 10


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    Pressed yesterday, did fives to 50, back to 40 and back up to 47.5, singled up to 57.5 :(

    Today: front: 100x4 :( 80x3x5, 85x5 90x5

    was a bit ambitious in thinkin I'd get 5x5 at 100

    Snatch: just went to 75.

    snatch DL from almighty height: 5x5x80

    Right, gonna reset front squat fives, continue doing singles around the 100kg region, continue with deficit pulls, add in some clean pulls from a deficit, change some things with the jerk*











    *I'm not going to do any of these.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius


    trained on monday but forgot to log it.
    clean and jerked a bunch of doubles at 82, front squatted a few fives at 85

    Today:
    snatched 74 for 5 or 6 doubles
    did singles at 79. 82, 85, missed 88, landed it the second time but felt my shoulder beginning to separate itself from my carcass so dropped it behind. Doesn't seem to hurt but that felt like something a shoulder should not do

    Fronts: only singles... 85-90-95-100-104-100

    Stupid deficit snatch deadlifts: 80 again for 5x5, still trying to hold position

    horizontal row: 3x12x 45 or 50, I dunno.

    an undisclosed quantity of double cheeseburgers/


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 3,234 Mod ✭✭✭✭Edwardius

    power clean+power jerk mit pause at parallel

    I saw a video of someone doing this recently and couldn't think why. What are they for? Or, at least, why do you do them?

    It's just for keeping position for the pull and then implementing it with the snatch in the same set.
    I dunno if it works, someone smarter and stronger than me wrote the program and I'm just following it! :D.
