I'd rather squat than drink heineken!

You can see how little I wanted to squat then!

Trained on friday, had an hour, just snatched 90, missed 97 behind
C&J 100 (jerk still fecked)
Pause FS: 110
some pulls

Edwardius · 11-12-2014 9:27pm

Trained down in CSP in Bray. Savage place, sound bunch of lads

Snatch: got 100 on the third go
C&J 110, couldn't stand 115
pause FS: 110, missed 115 somehow

Tabata Airdyne (that was dumb)

Leg strength just dies if I get a bad run of training. Oh well, back up the mountain once more!

Edwardius · 16-12-2014 1:00pm

Lifted in the ECB/Fugees/DCU/Phoenix christmas comp. Couldn't ask for a better bunch.

Snatch:
93-97(behind)-100(5kg comp pb!!)

100 felt like it was going to be a deadlift but somehow I got under it.

C&J:
105(press)-105-110 (jerk was miles off)

So a 205 total again with 100/105! I went too heavy on the jerk on thursday. I'm ok to snatch heavy two days or even one day out but the jerk seems to need more recovery. Cleans were ok but, again, leg strength is down. I need to drop 5kg (it's all fatty beery fattiness) and add 18kg to the comp total (11kg to training pbs) to get to the seniors in 2015. I need to hit the following consistently in training to get there:

Snatch:103 (+1kg on training PB)
C&J: 120 (+10kg)
Power Clean: 110 (+4kg but I think I could have had it a few times in training)
Power Jerk: 110 (+10kg)
power Snatch: 88-92 (I did 89 once but it's not consistent)
Clean 125 (+10Kg)
Jerk 125 (+10kg)
Back squat 165 (+10)
Front squat 135 (+10)
Push Press 105 (+10)

The ratios are skewed due to the way I'm stuck together. There's a solid year's work needed to consistently hit those numbers.

Trained last night, just messed around with hip snatches up to 80, jerk variations, zombies and grip work. Nothing overly structured though.

Edwardius · 19-12-2014 2:10pm

Trained on CF fifteen on Wednesday with Apti Aukhadov. He was honoured and privileged to meet his idol.

Snatched up to 95.

Apti reckons my snatch is good. at the top weights I'm not extending the ankles enough (take that, internet).

missed a 110 clean, worked back down. He touched my quad like a healer and said "this is your problem, you need to sit, ten times".

I then smashed my carotid artery with a clean and went night-night for a wee while

So I've to do tens.

The interpreter did affect things a little but you could pick up most things from the gestures and movements.

Training tomorrow afternoon with the "Southside Cell" of ECB

Triple extension :eek:, someone should inform him that all the top American lifters are doing the catapult :P.

Edwardius · 26-12-2014 2:47pm

Trained on Monday.
Jerks, hang stuff, deficit pulls, pause front squats and vertical push-pull. I pulled something in my foot during jerks. Beer then followed, sadness then followed, then more beer and cake with a side of no weightlifting.

Edwardius · 03-01-2015 3:49pm

Pause front: doubles 95kg
bench, row

Edwardius · 21-01-2015 10:28pm

Right, trained mon, tue and today. Basically trying to get 100kg overhead in various ways each session for the next six weeks or so. Did some deficit snatches up to 90, BTNSGPP to 103kg, back squats to 125x3, seated row. Ran out of time for benchin'.

No access to jerk blocks these days and I can't lower to my shoulders without ending up with numb hands the next day so I end up doing a lot of power cleans, which messes with volume monitoring. I'll probably end up with an adequate power clean though

Edwardius · 27-01-2015 10:46pm

Hmmm, power jerked up to 105
hang cleaned 105 (somewhere higher than mid thigh), doubles at 100
split squats 50kg 3x5

Haven't used a belt in a while, largely because I left it in Refugees and have been too lazy to go get it

Edwardius · 03-02-2015 11:03pm

High thigh clean up to 105x2

Drove about 700km last weekend. My hip became a little unhappy during the dl.

Lol, my left ql exploded just after I wrote the last line. Stood up and felt like someone stabbed it.

Edwardius · 06-02-2015 1:09pm

back was still a bit sore but it's the type of pain that I can train through without breaking anything.

Squattin': 120-130 for doubles, finished with 120x6
benchin': fives at 72.5
deadliftin': doubles at 150

Both knees were giving me grief during the week but were fine with squats. I'm gonna stop doing jerk drives and lowering from overhead. There's some nasty forces getting transmitted through them. Deloading next week, then two more weeks of this craic followed by a preparation phase.

Edwardius · 16-02-2015 12:30pm

Deloading the classical stuff this week...

Jerk to 90,
didn't bother with jerk drives, my knees no likey. I've an inflamed PCL

front squat 10x94

Not a great session. Trained in the morning without coffee. Bad move.

Edwardius · 17-02-2015 9:39pm

Wrecked today. Ate a load of carbs before training, was still tired going in though. Played it by ear

Felt good but kept volume low, intensity fairly high.

Hang clean: 105x2 PB

Stripped it to 90 to power clean it and it actually felt like 60... Screw it... singles at

Split squat:

Good deload brah

Edwardius · 20-02-2015 3:09pm

Went to the Apti seminar in Crossfit Fifteen last night. He's training for the Russian championships so the first part involved him working up to something like 160 on the clean and jerk and then rack jerking 190kg. He hit fairly high reps in his lighter sets but it may not be representative of how he'd train normally given that he had an audience. His English is patchy enough so he was talking through an interpreter.

As these things normally go, he went through key technical points, had people lift and went around correcting them. He's not fond of how I jump back (I was jumping forward a few months back so kinda overcorrected) and reckons my legs go dead at the top of the pull on max weights (my feet get welded). Snatched up to 97.5 handy enough.

My neck was giving me serious grief at this stage so I C&J up to 100. He reckons I need to stop gripping the bar in the rack (I'm kinda doing that as a bit of a crutch)

Following this he covered some assistance exercises and placed a big emphasis on the lower back. Finally he invited everyone around for a Q&A session, which was interesting.

For someone so talented and accomplished he carried himself with humility and had a very personable way about him. There was no big swagger or screaming like you'd see with other (less talented) lifters.

Edwardius · 22-02-2015 9:57pm
