Chase Charity Comp, Guildford.
Not my greatest ever performance, but it was a great day. Very tough comp!
LOG - 110, reps from chest
Unexpected power failure in shoulders!! Don't know what happened here, as I've been strong in training. Locked it out once, but it was disallowed (head not through). 0 reps!! I expected approx 5. Very disappointing start.
AXLE DEAD LIFT - 240 for reps
I was dreading this, but I was very pleased to manage 3 very solid reps. My back has felt really strong lately.
MEDLEY - 5 flips of 320 tyre, 70 keg carry, 220 frame walk
I'm usually crap at speed/fitness events, but I completed this in an OK (for me) time. Quite pleased.
LIMOUSINE PULL, 4x4 PUSH
Killer event! Completed it, but was WRECKED afterwards!
STONES - 125 x 5, 150 x 3, over yoke
4 times I lifted the 125 as high as physically possible, but it wasn't high enough! 0 reps!! On a more positive note, the 125 stone felt fairly comfortable to lift.
OVERALL - 7th out of 7.

CRAP session today. My head wasn't in it. I often struggle first session after a comp, and lack of sleep/food (due to work) would have been a factor too.
POWER CLEANS with small diameter discs on
105 - 2 reps, 2 reps, 2 reps (messy messy messy)
DEAD LIFTS
After feeling strong on the dead lift in my comp on Sunday, I felt I could pull 250 standing on blocks. Nope! Failed twice (although it did move). I then took the blocks away and tried it, but it weren't happening today. Disappointing.
SQUATS (raw)
180 - 6 reps
After that I'd had enough and wanted to go home! Hopefully back on track next session (probably Monday).

Today...
AXLE CLEAN & PRESS (continental clean, push press)
112.5 - 2 full reps, 2 full reps
AXLE POWER CLEAN & STRICT PRESS
95 - clean + 2 presses, clean + 1 press, clean + 1 press, clean + 1 press
AXLE POWER SNATCH
Been meaning to have a go at power snatches for AGES, and finally got round to it!
30, 50, 50, 50 (getting used to technique)
70 - fail
60 - 1 rep, 1 rep
CHINS (under-hand grip) FROM AXLE
6 reps, 6 reps (grip was the limiting factor)
My training has gone a bit stale, and I think I need to make some changes (hence the "play" with axle power snatches today). Might do power snatches instead of power cleans for a while? Might also try some axle good mornings (axle for comfort!)? Maybe even some benching!

Couldn't get to the gym today. Had a quick play in my garage instead - using my Argos bar!!

97 x 1
101 x 1
CONTINENTAL CLEAN AND PUSH PRESS
110 x 1
115 x 1
123 x 1 - PB push press by 0.5Kg! - quite comfortable too

I'd love to compete in that comp. Events look great - nice decent weights, just as it should be! Realistically, I'd be very low on the list of potential competitors! There would have to be 30 guys in it for my name to have a chance of appearing!
