    Trained on Friday, forget what I did (apart from making my IT band try to kill me)

    Today

    Snatchin':
    wore a hoodie because I was a bit cold and coming down with something. The strings for the hood kept getting in my eyes when I was gettin' under. Actually missed some lifts because of this #princess
    got to 90, missed some at 93

    sn pulls 110

    complex to 80, IT band clenched up at 90

    BS: 125x6. had to roll stupid tfl between sets.

    bad session.


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


    Right, I can still be described as alive at the moment. Got very busy for the last couple of weeks. Back training this week and everything is down about 10% or so. no biggie.

    Did an informal powerlifting meet in Platinum Balbriggan. Went 152.5/87.5/180 at 88kg, not great, not awful. Failed a 185 deadlift because my brain shorted out, missed a 160 squat, just dropped the head too much.


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


    got a bit done this evening:
    sn to 90
    cl+hcl+FS+PP+J to 85kg
    def sn pulls 5x3 95kg
    squats: doubles at 130
    superduperset press+pullups+seated GM 3x8 50kg

    Overhauled the jerk again. Still having problems with hand position. Basically if I grip the thing I end up leaning forward but if I just do the "fingertips" thing and leave it resting on the shoulders then I end up catching my callouses when it goes overhead and that puts a lot of pressure on the wrists. New plan is gripping the bar with the elbows as low as possible, it's as comfortable as I've felt with the jerk in ages.

    Wandered up to 100 on Thursday and did a bunch of doubles at 85
    BTNPP to 100
    front squat doubles at 100 (knee behaving)


    Today:
    hang power snatch: 75x2
    back squat to 150x1 (ok)
    comically wide sumo squats: 3x10 at 80. Hips are almost allowing these.

    hitting in and around daily maxes on things now, yesterday was:

    snatch 90-94 for a few singles
    C&J complex
    Pulls
    squatted 140 for a bunch of singles
    BB stuff


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


    Bad Ed.

    Yesterday:
    Bunch of C&J in the 100-105 range, minding some outer-knee pain (Sitting is messing me up). Jerk timing is still messy

    power snatch: 84

    deficit CLDL: 150

    Hugening.


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


    Got in for my annual training session yesterday...

    Snatched a few singles up to 96,

    c&J 100, missed jerk 104, missed clean 109 (yea I know)

    def sn dl: 120 for triples

    leg presses

    I can't front squat at the moment, which is ruining everything! I can back squat but only if I'm not doing the olympic lifts beforehand. Leg pressing is ok, I'll mix it with RDL and GHR "going forward" (eww).

    Will switch to powers for a Clonmel and just rehab afterwards. I'm fat now too so I'd better fix that afterwards. It probably doesn't help with inflammation and all that other jazz.

    lol, down to once a week or so. did 90/100 for singles last saturday, trained this saturday but spent about 90 minutes doing jerks. finished with a set of 10 at 90. It's slowly coming together. Knee is not too bad now.


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


    Right so I did the Clonmel Open.

    Snatch: 93-97-100
    100 was a loose, hairy snatch

    C&J, powered the cleans because the jerk is buggered:

    101-106(FJ)-106 (go away)

    206 total, comp PB, total PB I forget what the BW was. I think I got a sinclair PB too.

    I should have a bit more time to train now. priorities are knee&elbow rehab, preventing angry hips (Ed sits in traffic a lot and his clutchin' hip is becoming disgruntled). Need more "recoil" from the legs too. Obviously the elephant in the room still hasn't forgotten I can't squat.

    Saturday: League match v CSP2

    only got 2/6, 91/105, missed 96 twice and 109 twice

    Felt kinda weak off the floor so ended up making way too much contact on the snatches, looped the bejayzis out of the 96s

    Cleaned the 109s handy but kept missing the jerk. Have to finish the jerk before I pass out these days (sharrup) so there's little time to recompose.

    4-0 to ECB, Didn't lose to girls. Yay!
