WHAT ABOUT MAH LEGS, CHARLIE MURPHY??!!

Edwardius · 08-05-2014 9:53pm

reet, Monday: 5x5x110 squat, handy

Today: out with those refugees.

BUFS, 5x3 85kg, push pressed 80, missed 90 (scared of elbows)

switched to behind the neck snatch grip pp, got 95kg, power cleaned 90-95-100

Squatting snatch balance thing: doubles up to 60kg

Hammer Kurlz+triceps

Right, I can power clean, BTNPP, Snatch balance and squat without irritation. Will do some bar work tomorrow and see if the elbows remain attached,

Edwardius · 11-05-2014 4:57pm

Gestern:

Snatch, singles
40-60-80-90-95(f)-90

pause fronts 3x3 90kg

BTNPP+J: 90kg, missed 100, power cleaned 100 handy.

Elbow is manageable

Edwardius · 21-07-2014 10:31pm

should probably start this again. Lifted in the Leinsters, hit 93/102 @86.4kg, lost 95 sn behind, pressed 106, cleaned 110 and missed the jerk. Elbow isn't too bad, I've been staying out of its way and making sacrifices to the tendon Gods.

Decided not to bother taking any down time. Had a few conversations over the last while and I don't think I or most of the other lads and lasses train as hard as they could, so it's back to the grindstone. Going to push things on a bit more in terms of volume and intensity and see where things go, hitting a proper program again next week but just thought I'd do some triples today.

Today

snatch: singles up to 93, missed 95 and 96 behind.
triples: 77-77-78-79-80x4
C&J 100, didn't jerk 105, triples (on both) 80-81-82-83-84
Back squat 4x9x95

Felt good today.

Edwardius · 23-07-2014 10:54pm

Hanley · 31-07-2014 11:26am

Ah Herr Smolov. That'll put balls on your hair.

Edwardius · 31-07-2014 11:37am

More 6am sadness:

Front squat 7x5x100kg. Fairly ok, upper back was a bit fatigued from extensions yesterday. No biggie.

leg extensions and GHR, only did 4 sets of 8 on 2 exercises this time.

. I frankenstein'd it a bit to include front and paused front squats at the end of the week so it's not really Smolov anymore. I've to hit a 222 total @85 to qualify for next year's seniors, the only way this is gonna happen is with lots of squats, all the time.

Jerks
4x3 @ 86

Sn+hang Sn 5x1+2 @ 75. (felt very light even though I felt like death)

Paused Front squat:

10x3@ 108kg

Got folded on the last rep so took the set again. Eh, that was kinda unpleasant. I'm gonna do another week with +2% or so. gonna have to split all sessions and ingest fearsome amounts of caffeine. I think I can bleed some extra from it. I'll probably die though.

Edwardius · 11-08-2014 10:10pm

Morning:
Back squat 4x9 110kg

Evening: snatch 77kg, 3x3

These were horrible and ugly as sin. paused the first three sets, missed the last of the 4th, did normal fronts from then, missed 1 in 7th and 10th set, took three singles at the end to make up for the misses. I'm now finished with the work phase of the squats, it was kinda fun in a sick way

Edwardius · 18-08-2014 10:21pm

Not much time today.
Snatch 3x3 78, 1x3 80

Edwardius · 23-08-2014 10:27pm

Yesterday:

Pause front:
Up to 120 (5 kg pb), missed 122

Rack jerk: 3x3 at 95, set of 4 at 100 (large pb). Blew the load on the last set so barely hit 110 on the singles.

Snatch+2 hang snatch: 5 sets 80, jerks killed the pop on these. They went up though.

Swole stuff

Today:
Clean, hang clean, jerk: 3 sets 77
Deficit pause pulls, 3x3 112
Some footwork
Back squat up to 145 (pb) just missed 150
Triceps and mid back stuff

Wanted to start getting the feel of heavy singles. I think I can hit 150 next week. The Woman is going to be endangering my squat pbs soon so I'd better move them.

Edwardius · 25-08-2014 10:28pm

Snatch, 5 doubles at 83, had to retake some. Singles to 94, missed 97

Consistency was a bit crap here

Hps: 3x2 75

Back squat singles:
120-130-140-150(pb)

Squat was hard. It's almost not embarrassing anymore.

Was tired after that.

Edwardius · 26-08-2014 11:31pm

hpc pj 3 doubles 85

Pm:

triples on the jerk at 97, single 112, missed 117,

snatch complex 82,

front squats to 125 (pb), missed 130 twice, jammed the elbow onto the knee somehow, think I might have gotten away with it, strapped wrist and nurofen just in case. Will see on Monday.

Edwardius · 30-08-2014 9:31pm

Wrist is stiff today, not awful though.

Was out in Platinum in Malahide
Back squat:
135-145-155(f)

Back squat: triple 140 (pb)
130x4
Zombie squats to 100x5

Today: physio in Malahide, saw Roy Keane looking grumpy, he didn't ask me for an autograph

4x90, 4x105, 4x120, 2x135, 3x135, 4x135, 5x135 (pb)

did an extra rep on the last set. was supposed to be 3-4-4 but I failed a rep in the triple so took it again. Did 5 in the last set for a larf.

Hip and shoulder stuff. Wrist isn't ready for the 'lympic yet.

Edwardius · 15-09-2014 5:07pm

Squatty Squat:

4x128, 3x3x135, 3x143 (PB). Hard

Snatch: worked up to 70 with minimal pain

Beginning to dread the next session and all the rest.

Edwardius · 16-09-2014 5:47pm

Am: Pain = 1

Rack jerked up to 80, pain was like 5 when racked, 4 overhead. I'm gonna stop at 5 for the next while
Hip rehab stuff

pain = 1 now.

Edwardius · 17-09-2014 11:33pm

Back squat:
3x113, 4x128, 135kg: 5-5-5-3-5

meant to be 4x5 at 135. failed the 4th rep of 4th set. Many sadnesses. retook the set then and got them all with a rotten grind. final reps in each set were highly unattractive.

did some presses, wrist may have been happier.

Halfway through the intense phase. All top sets are 135 and 143 until the end. I'm "acquainted" with 135 at this stage but 143 is kinda scaring me a bit.

Edwardius · 19-09-2014 10:31pm

Skwatt:
5x5x135kg. Not as bad as wednesday. Kinda getting the hang of fighting a bit more. Again, these weren't massively attractive.

Snatch: up to 85 for a single, 90 behind. pain = 1 a minute after. Sound.

SN RDL 3x8x95kg

Edwardius · 20-09-2014 5:22pm

Erm, just rolled and did voodoo floss things and hip rehab.

Edwardius · 23-09-2014 7:11am

Snatch 92, C&J 105 (minimal pain)

T-4 smolovz, only 3 of them look horrible

Edwardius · 24-09-2014 6:06pm

Squert:

3x100-115-130

143: 3-3-2-1

ARSE! supposed to be 4x3.

Super secret press program.

Had to stop the squats, there's "really really hard" and "you're going to break in two if you continue", this was the latter. Way too much back involvement. Failed a single in a 5th set then so just left it.

Edwardius · 26-09-2014 11:20pm

did some walking yesterday at the culchie world fair

Today:
Squat, 135:

5-5-4-0

supposed to be 5x5 but my erectors are massively fatigued. Did some hip rehab.

Press stuff.

I need to eat more.

Edwardius · 27-09-2014 7:15pm

3 pos snatch up to 84kg
3 pos clean up to 100kg
Press
hyoogening stuff.

Edwardius · 01-10-2014 11:29pm

haven't squatted in 5 days. Feels like an eternity. Today:
4x3@135... not too bad

Pressin'

Edwardius · 04-10-2014 9:36am

Lifted at the club championships last night. Didn't really taper or cut. Weighed in at a Rubenesque 90.3

Warmup was ok, I was coaching four lifters at the same time. Hit 88 twice a few minutes apart

Snatch:
88... Grand
92... bit heavy
95... Nailed it. 1kg comp PB

C&J
102... caught the clean wrong but it was ok
106... Felt a little heavy
110... I'd lost interest in life at this stage. Felt the right elbow wobble but got the lift 2:1`, 4kg comp pb.

6/6 205kg total, 5kg pb with 238 sinclair. Pity my prep got screwed by the wrist but whatevs

I would have pissed 100kg snatch but I wanted to hit 6 lifts and wasn't really sure of where I was after the layoff.

Edwardius · 05-10-2014 11:42pm

Final Snatch (95kg)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpVE-hQLFuQ

Final Clean and Jerk (110kg)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qefiuvpMvis

Edwardius · 06-10-2014 10:31pm

Today
Caught up with the press program, then...

Intense W4D3:
Back squat: 3x4x143kg

First set ok, second terrible third not as bad. Last rep was very very ugly. I reckon I could have hit 5 reps in the first set. Happy to be finished. Lost a lot of confidence last week and thought I'd be buried by everything but it went surprisingly well. I don't think I'll ever make any of the lifters do this, the base cycle is just hard but this seems like it'll snap **** up.

Might max next monday, I've no idea what to expect. Might just try 140-150-160 and see what happens.

Edwardius · 14-10-2014 8:31pm

Yesterday: Up to 155 squat, missed 160, kinda gave up due to falling forward a bit

OHP program

DEF sn pulls

Pin squats

Unracked 300kg, almost turned into a liquid.
