oly class was fcukin awesome today

I took ibuprofen for my wrist

so no worries!
And then I learned the trick to snatching!
It's pretend to be batman*!!

:D

*no seriously

Snatch
15 kg x 3 reps
18 kg x 3 reps
19 kg x 3 reps
21 kg x 3 reps
23 kg x 3 reps

Group A
Clean
25 kg x 1 reps
30 kg x 1 reps
33 kg x 1 reps
35 kg x 1 reps
39 kg x 1 reps
41 kg x 1 reps
Clean and Jerk
25 kg x 1 reps
30 kg x 1 reps
33 kg x 1 reps
35 kg x 1 reps
39 kg x 1 reps
41 kg x 1 reps
44 kg x 1 reps (PR)

BOOM!!

Deliberately didn't ask the weight until after I got it :pac::pac::pac:
The above is logged funny - we did clean, clean, jerk on each round

Front Barbell Squat
15 kg x 5 reps
25 kg x 5 reps
35 kg x 5 reps

Powerlifting: ahhh I've been trying to work out when I'll get a session in this week. I kinda wish crunch would open later than 10 as it'll be early mornings and probably late evenings this week, it's a bit mental.
I may be able to get in a session on weds or fri, fingers crossed. Then definitely sunday.
I need to squaaaaaat ;(

hello
so basically i have been working early morning til the gym closes so i haven't been able to get near it
then i was sick as a dog all weekend and couldn't stand so no oly on saturday and no lifting yesterday either. only bed
today i went and was convinced i was gonna fall over for most of the class but i am glad i went because i am addicted to lifting

we learned hookgrip for snatching today, seemed grand
had to keep it light

I didn't keep a strict record of what we were doing but I think this is it:

Snatch
7 kg x 2 reps
10 kg x 2 reps
15 kg x 2 reps
18 kg x 2 reps
20 kg x 2 reps
20 kg x 2 reps
20 kg x 2 reps
I failed a 22 or a 23 somewhere as I was fairly faint for them and just stopped myself halfway through

Hang Clean
15 kg x 1 reps
25 kg x 1 reps
30 kg x 1 reps
35 kg x 1 reps
35 kg x 1 reps
40 kg x 1 reps
43 kg x 1 reps (PR)
^ was starting to feel better by this stage and less likely to pass out. Maybe the vitargo kicked in. i wanted to clean 45 too which would have been a clean PR :pac: (current CNJ PR is 44)

Front Barbell Squat
15 kg x 3 reps
25 kg x 3 reps
30 kg x 3 reps
35 kg x 3 reps
40 kg x 3 reps

Jerk (from stands)
15 kg x 2 reps
25 kg x 2 reps
30 kg x 2 reps
35 kg x 2 reps
40 kg x 2 reps (PR)

ignore the PR yokes above I Just haven't logged them as those before

Ok so hopefully I will get at least one half day this week which I can use to fit in a session and study
not having powerlifted in 2 weeks is really making me twitch

04-08-2015 06:24PM

2 weeks later ...

Barbell Squat
40 kg x 3 reps
50 kg x 3 reps
62.5 kg x 3 reps
62.5 kg x 3 reps
62.5 kg x 3 reps
62.5 kg x 3 reps
62.5 kg x 3 reps

Barbell Bench Press
37.5 kg x 3 reps
37.5 kg x 3 reps
37.5 kg x 3 reps
37.5 kg x 3 reps
37.5 kg x 3 reps
paused

Barbell Deadlift

70 kg x 2 reps
80 kg x 2 reps
90 kg x 1 reps
90 kg x 1 reps
90 kg x 1 reps

You going to try keep up the OLY and the Powerlifting Blue-y?

06-08-2015 07:06AM

Yeah i love both

Only issue so far is timing with work
I need to quit work and just lift things, clearly:D

08-08-2015 12:18PM

Snatch
13 kg x 1 reps
15 kg x 1 reps
17 kg x 1 reps
19 kg x 1 reps
21 kg x 1 reps
23 kg x 1 reps
25 kg x 1 reps

Snatches were rock solid today ... I was really happy. We used the big girls bar early on and it wasn't a problem. I feel like I've had a little breakthrough on them
We did 2 pulls before each snatch but I duno how to log them on fitocracy... maybe it's "snatch pull"...

Clean and Jerk
25 kg x 2 reps
30 kg x 2 reps
30 kg x 2 reps
35 kg x 1 reps
30 kg x 2 reps
25 kg x 2 reps

And then I lost it all again on the CNJs... nothing left in me at that stage.
Jerks are too delicate - need to be more aggressive instead of dainty :pac:
We had to drop the weight back down

Front Barbell Squat
30 kg x 3 reps
40 kg x 3 reps
50 kg x 3 reps
50 kg x 3 reps
50 kg x 3 reps (PR)

tough but doable

Today I also learned oly is the one thin I can't train fasted. I'll make sure to eat in future. Class was earlier than usual so i didnt. I was the only one who showed up as well so got one on one session

tried on a weightlifting suit as well... might get one!

You mean a singlet? :P

08-08-2015 12:22PM

i can't word good

08-08-2015 12:23PM

ok adidas calls them that as well, i didnt make it up
http://www.adidasspecialtysports.ie/weightlifting/competition-wear/weightlifting-suits

tried on the red version of this
http://www.adidasspecialtysports.ie/product/weightlifting-suit/Z11187
i want the blue one

Sugar Free · 08-08-2015 12:48PM

Adidas with their marketing, making singlets sound cool! In fairness there may be some differences compared to a singlet used for powerlifting - the zip and non-slip material on the chest being the obvious ones.

gymfreak · 08-08-2015 02:16PM

The terms weightlifting suit and singlet are used interchangeable. And depending on what model/ brand you get determines whether it has a zip/no zip etc Older ranges don't zip up at the back where as the newer ranges do

09-08-2015 02:19PM

I would like to note that I tried to go to gym today and got stopped at the ironman road closures I didn't realise about :mad::(

Might walk the doggy later instead ...

It's only a HALF ironman an' all.

Think it's called a Tinman.

09-08-2015 09:52PM

ba dum tish

went out with the doggy
it was 45 mins or so
I think I broke him

10-08-2015 09:22PM

today's snatches weren't half as awesome as saturday's by which i mean the bar went flying at the wall behind me and took down the gym banner
no half measures
snatches: 13 up to 20 in singles. few doubles

CNJ: arms and shoulders were screaming at this stage and i couldn't lift anything. practised jerks and got a bit better at the feet. 25 up to 35 today.

front squats: turned into a giant moanyface (really sorry): 50 x3, 45 2x3

on the plus side, my wrists were fine!

I am happy with the squats even if I had to drop weight for the last set as I was struggling a lot
May have to readjust my bw squat hopes a little further out ...!

laughing my head off at these - we were all basically snatching the weights overhead to get them onto our shoulders for these then gymfreak comes over like wtf are yous doing why arent you using the racks??
us: racks??? are we supposed to be using those?? ohhhhh

I think those OHPs were supposed to be push presses and the jerks coulda been heavier but I was working with another girl and didn't push the weight lalala I needed to still work on the feet moving in the jerks so again didn't push it like I could have
they went well though

missed the last jerk - had no energy left because i overdid it on the snatch balances, and just gave up

29-08-2015 09:53PM

went out for a jog ~ 3.3km / 20 mins
then walked the doggy and we jogged a small bit of it
total distance tonight ~6-7km of which ~4km jog
said i'd do a 5km race next week, I think i'll end up walking half of it like last time at this rate

...but despite all my whingeing i do enjoy running at night, and i nearly turned around and did all of that again

That second one would only make me want to jog home, smoke a joint and eat a packet of biscuits. If I was into that kind of stuff....

Did the 5k didn't come last didn't die the end
Actually i think i did better than last time

03-09-2015 10:31PM

testing day!!!
so between lack of training and losing 3.5kg i was like, if i hit last time's numbers i'll be happy

but no, i jumped my squat from a solid 70kg to a solid 76 kg

not quite bodyweight yet but almost there!!!
deadlift was +2.5kg to 110kg!
fitocracy says my 45 bench wasnt a pr. maybe i hit 46 last time?

Also note to self, lucozade and coffee for breakfast, a boiled egg for lunch, is not enough fuel for going to test >>

really happy with all that now!
not bad progress from 0 to 76 in a year and half!!

ninamc · 04-09-2015 07:59AM

went for a walk which was intended to be a jog but was just heavy and sluggish
brought my phone to see if i'm overestimating my usual distances. measured at the halfway point, the one i usually log as ~4.4 is really 4.2. not too bad so!
i didn't do 4.4 though, was dark and lonely outside so i detoured through a village

3.4km in half an hour

I am pretty sure that's what we did on the snatches. we did a LOT of 23kg snatches from the floor anyway
triples!

/ded

watched gf doing a snatch thing without moving her feet in between reps
wowww

ETA:I do think i'm getting better at them though despite the moaning

positioning and pulling is better

Can I come too
