WHAT ABOUT MAH LEGS, CHARLIE MURPHY??!!

Edwardius · 18-05-2013 10:10pm

Today: Rearmament.

Edwardius · 20-05-2013 9:39pm

Elite(tm) levels of warming up
Sotts press: back down to 35
snatch pull to above knee+power snatch: 3x2+2 at 70kg
power clean+power jerk (pause at parallel) 3x2+1 at 75kg

Edwardius · 21-05-2013 5:28pm

Heute:

Snatch:
Very fast in the warmup, began to slow a lot.
6 doubles at 82.5, better sweep in so they were reasonably consistent. Retook two sets
1 single at 85, missed the first,
3 singles at 87.5, no misses. Damn though, they were slow as hell. Nice to make 95% consistently after a load of work. Starting to become a bit more consistent, getting some feedback after the hips finish (as in I know whether it's going to stick or not).

Snatch pull: 3x3x100kg

pause back squat+back squat 3x1+2 at 115kg

pushups+rows at 65kg

Easier than last week, squats were tough but laughable compared to the snatches. Had to destroy some feelings during them!

Edwardius · 23-05-2013 5:58pm

rest day yesterday so I'd be fresh today*

*Stiff, sore and tired

snatch pull to knee+snatch 2+2 at 70: Forgot how to snatch
clean pull: 3x3 at 120: ok
push press 3x3 at 55: nowt
pullups, neutral, 3x5: all slow 'n controlled.
back extensifications: 3x12 with 12kg MoscowBall: pumptastic
planks: 2x30s at 50kg, noticed I was piking a bit. Lowered it to 25kg for final set, will lower back to 10kg next time and see if I can close down the ribcage a bit more

Edwardius · 24-05-2013 7:34pm

W4D4
Eh, today was sponsored by O' Hara's double IPA

everything was heavy.

snatch pull+muscle snatch: 3x2+2 at 47.5kg
clean and jerk: 3x2+1 at 92.5kg
1x95, fail at 97.5, got 97.5
Pause front squat:
102.5kg:

1, (add belt) 2, (add knee wraps) 3x3

ARMZ

Never go "for a pint" when over reaching and have a heavy session the next day. This was horrendous! I don't think I'd have done the 3x3 without the belt and knee sleeves with my sunny demeanour today. Had a lot of coffee too, but it didn't work. Will try next week's weights without them.

Next week looks very daunting on paper.

pfff

Edwardius · 27-05-2013 8:48pm

Knackered. Did much driving and coachin over the weekend.

W5D1:
Sotts press: 3x5x37.5

Snatch pull to above knee + power snatch
3x2+2 at 75
Managed to do one double where both reps were powered. The other two sets had one power and one squat because I didn't get enough rage into the bar!

Power clean with pause at parallel and power jerk 3x2+2 at 80kg

Zzz. 75 is a pb for doubles on the ps. Still felt like the pull was sluggish today. Not a bad sign.

Edwardius · 28-05-2013 6:44pm

W5D2:
ate like an hour before the gym, took 200mg caffeine when I got in.

Snatch 3x2 at 85,
1x90, 93(PB)
95:

snatch high pull+muscle snatch: 50kg

Clean and jerk:
2+1 at 95, missed the jerk twice at 100, warmed back up, cleaned 100 again. Brain wouldn't play ball so aborted the session instead of getting pissed off and broken. Will try again tomorrow.

Edwardius · 01-06-2013 9:04pm

Right,
restarted the clean and jerk from yesterday,
2 clean 1 jerk: 95, missed the jerk behind (first time ever) and kinda frolicked out of the way elegantly (exactly how it happened)

Singles:
95, 98, 98, 100, cleaned 104: missed jerk, spent a couple of seconds on the sticking point of the clean.

front squat with a pause, 105kg:
3-2-2

**** it, that's a 3rm PB with or without pause.

Polished the cannons to a level which is now concerning the UN, brah.

That's hell week done, it wasn't too bad. Tapering next week, might need to ditch a kilo or two ahead of Sunday. I have a strange feeling, I think I might be excited.

Wide wide wide squats (well wide for me) 3x8x60kg

I'd like to sotts press 60kg at some point. They're beginning to feel quite good.

Edwardius · 17-07-2013 8:38pm
