 Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Away for the long weekend in Italy so no Saturday or Monday session. Much alcohol and pasta was consumed. Arrived back home at 3am on the Monday night so felt pretty screwed at work all day yesterday. Anyway, last night's session. Weighed in at 98kg :O Snatch work Messed about with weights up to 60kg, pulls, power snatches etc. Didn't feel that great, quads were very tight. Split jerk 90x1 95x1 101x1 PB 105x1 PB 107xF 107xF 107xF RDLs 100x5 100x5 100x5 Paused bench 90x2 90x2 90x2 90x2 90x2 90x2 fast, but could've been a bit more rapid Jerk PB was a nice surprise! All the reps were very clean in terms of lockout, I stumbled about with the recovery on all reps before 105. But the 105 was very controlled, took it slow recovering my feet as it felt wobbly over head. I felt very slow on the dip and drive - didn't feel like I had any power which is why it came as a bit of a surprise! First 107 attempt was an ok attempt but didn't get under it. 2nd and 3rd were no way near. Knees still kinda screwed. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Last night's session: HB Paused box squats - just below parallel 5 doubles on 100. ummm probably a lot harder than they should've been lol. Just did these as they didn't seem to bother my knees that much. Power clean and jerk 90 for 5 singles. All good. Snatch work technique work again, felt horrible. Hammie band curls 3 sets of 20 Legs feel ridiculously weak at the moment. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Last night's session: Paused bench 100x2 100x2 100x2 100x2 100x2 not easy Sumos - beltless 190x2 failed 3rd?? waited 30 seconds, tried again but failed. Not encouraging. Was supposed to be an easy triple this week and then 215 for a double next week.... Push press 72.5x3 72.5xF Felt really dizzy here, no energy left Did a few easy sets of abs then called it a day. Jesus, feel crazy f**ked today. Need to cut my volume down, having a hard time recovering. | ||

 Member 4522, 1898 posts SQ 222.5, BP 152.5, DL 245620.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | Belt up for the deadlift. Sounds like you should've had some of that cake pre-workout! | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Last night's session. Snatch work Worked with 55, full snatches still out of the question. Stuck to powers, pulls, hangs etc. Jerks 90x1 90x1 90xF silly 90x1 90x1 90x1 Paused bench 90x2 90x2 90x2 90x2 90x2 90x2 Tried the "acceleration" method. Hard to tell whether it was better than my usual form, but I expect practice will be needed anyway. WL comp this Saturday. Seems a bit pointless given my injury but can't pull out of it. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Yesterday's match: Lifting league match vs Crossfit connect Headed all the way over to Brighton for this one. Weighed in at 98kg with a full bladder and clothing on  Powered everything to save my kneesSnatch 65 - good lift 70 - good lift 75 - got it overhead but was too far in front as I refused to get under it, so lost it. C&J 90 - good lift 95 - good lift 100 - same as snatch, had it racked but just lost it. Closest I've come to power cleaning 100. 165 total @ 98. Pull felt technically good yesterday actually. Went out for fish and chips on the beach with the rest of the team afterwards, followed by a decent pub crawl. Good day. | ||

Hope your knees get back to decent. Cheers mate.
