The whole weekend (flight, accommodation, food etc) cost less than £180 so I thought it'd be rude not to. God bless Ryanair. Next step: move to Russia

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Last night, 99kg BW Clean pull - hang clean - jerk 80 87 94 98 102 - F on jerk 102 90 90 90 Low hang clean pulls 100x3 103x3 105x3 107x3 BTN push press 70x6 70x6 70x6 Rows 72x8 72x8 72x8 volume PB Sidebends 3 sets Petersen step ups 3 sets Not bad, legs and calves were dying from Monday's session. Everything above 94 on the hang cleans was a PB technically, although had to pause a bit in the bottom of those cleans. Here's the latest video - 113kg C&J by 48kg 17 yr old Chinese girl Jiang Huihua

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Last night. Made it a short one as had to go out afterwards. Will do the pulls and other stuff tonight. Hang power snatch + snatch 60 x (2+1) 62.5 x (2+1) 65 x (2+1) 65 x (2+1) failed the full snatch behind on this set. 65 x (2+1) 65 x (2+1) Back squats - belted 120x5 120x5 120x5 120x5 first set a bit dodgy but form good on the rest. Definitely got more power in the snatches than I used to. So fairly happy with all that. Here's another 113kg C&J by a 48kg Chinese girl. She came 2nd behind Jiang Huihua (who I posted above) by 1kg as she didn't snatch as much. Got gold in the C&J though as she was lighter.

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Today's: Clean - Front squat - jerk - belted 90 95 100 103 105 - F jerk 105 - F clean 105 - F. Cleaned it but was a massive grind so didn't attempt fsq or jerk Messed around with 90 but was terrible. Clean pulls - belted 115x3 120x3 120x3 120x3 Rows 80x4 80x4 80x4 Petersen step ups 3 sets Clean still suffering from the usual problems! Felt ridiculously light-headed and lethargic today. Not sure why... Footage of the chinese weightlifting team.

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Last night, 99kg Was supposed to be doing snatch doubles on 80, only got up to 78 and failed the 2nd rep three times. Dropped down but was equally as bad. Front squats, 90 was a grind! Just left it there, the cleans from Saturday have clearly ****ed me up. 0 leg strength or mobility. And I feel exhausted today. This sport man... Will do a light one tonight, hopefully be recovered towards the end of the week. Here's the full 56 session:

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Last night, 100kg Power clean + 2 split jerks Worked up to 85 but then failed it 3 times. Dropped down to 60 and got given some advice on technique to stop overpulling. More "hit and go under" rather than continuing to extend. Really helped a lot. I can see on videos of my cleans that there's a bit of lag time between bar contact and starting to go under so I think this will help a lot. Worked back up to 85 just doing power cleans only and it was much more improved. Hopefully this will help my full cleans a lot more. RDLs 85x10 95x10 95x10 Done. Got dragged into doing a lifting league match on Friday but won't be going max effort. Will train on Thursday as normal. Men's 62 session:

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Last night, 100kg Snatch 70 - F 70 75 - F 75 80 82 82 80 - F 80 80 - F 80 - F not very good...didn't have much hip action going on, felt slow. Cleans 90 90 90 92 92 92 95 95 good, really like this new technique, feels a lot more efficient. Back squats - beltless Just did 110 for 6 doubles to try and get some quick work in. Didn't feel that good though, felt really tight and slow... Bit of knee pain today, first time in a while. Lifting league match tonight, will probably just open on 80% lifts or something.

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Did a lifting league match for LSE last night vs Crossfit Medway. Weighed in at 100. Snatch Dodgy warm up, missed 75 twice. 80 - good lift, took a sec to stabilise at bottom though 85 - good lift, better 90 - F, not close at all tbh C&J 95 100 105 190 total. Quite happy with that given the week of training I've had. Took it easy on the C&J, cleans were ok, jerks felt very good. Video should be coming soon. I lost my individual match but we won overall.

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Last night, just messed around. Jerks from racks, where I continue to suck majorly, then just did some chest work lol. Here's the rest of the training hall footage:

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Snatch Up to 85, then failed 90. Mobility was crap, causing me to catch with my torso way forward. Felt horrible basically. Power snatch 70 75 77.5 PB 80 - F, dropped it on my back lol Messed about with power cleans but it was hurting my elbow in the catch (a new injury it seems!) Then did bodybuilding stuff - seated press, flat DB bench, lat pulldowns. If you're wondering why I've been doing random sessions lately, it's because I'm taking a 2 month break after Monday. Plan was to max the snatch today but definitely wasn't happening so I'll have another go on Monday. May max C&J depending on how I feel, but will max deadlift no matter what.

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Trained last night for my final session at Bethnal Green before I move abroad. Weighed sub-99kg I think. Didn't eat for the 6 hours before getting to the gym, then got out of work late and forgot my shorts to top it all off lol. Could not be arsed with snatches or C&Js so just decided to max my deadlift...lol Deadlifts - (conventional, in WL shoes) 130x3 DOH 150x2 165 hook grip big belt on 180 switched to mixed grip 195 205 215 222.5 - F 222.5 - F Well that was pleasantly surprising...think my best ever conventional was 200kg done years ago. Best deadlift ever is a 220 sumo when I was actually training for powerlifting. Haven't done heavy deadlifts for months and months, then get within 5kg of all time best..makes sense lol. Back rounded a bit on the 215, the 222 only came a couple of inches off the floor on both attempts. Finished off with some curls. Back is pretty DOMSed up today!! Anyway, no training for 2 months! Adios.

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220 507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq	Well, arrived safely in Taiwan yesterday. Today's mission was to find a gym to finally train again. The uni gym was closed unfortunately but I found another one that had bumpers close by. Will try and check the uni one out tomorrow. Down to 91kg BW when I last checked two weeks ago... Snatch lots of reps on 40. C&J Reps on 60 RDLs 60x10 60x10 Single leg curls/extensions/peterson stepups Standing DB shoulder press 12.5x12 15x10 15x10 Abs 3 sets Woo that felt shaky as hell, but so good to be back under the bar!
