Cheers mate, felt hard on my knees mostly, got a wobble on and caught the farmers on my legs, which knocked my balance. Apparently I was looking down rather than straight ahead as well, so if I can keep this in mind and do some one leg stuff I reckon I will get 10m next time. If I get used to 100kg farmers then 90kg should be easier (maybe not at the end of a medley, however...)

Yeah good to meet you today mate. I was impressed with your attitude on the farmers, you didn't want to let the f**kers beat you.

Strict press is still s**t, I'm sure I was doing this much last year... Confused Unhappy Push press was better tonight though, a gnat's cock away from locking the 90kg out! 3 times a week, little bits each time, z presses to try andf get my strict press up. Now for some more of that surgical spirits on my hand...

Yoke press (strict) 2x5 with empty yoke

Log C+P

72kg log x3

+10kg failed press a few times

Tried stones but with no tacky 100kg stone wasn't really budging tonight Angry I am gonna get some serious stoneage in now over the next 2 wweeks, need to get some kind of technique at this. Happy with log press, I reckon 85kg will be there for comp time Grin so I will plug away at that while trying to get somewhere with atlas stones - done it 4 times now with little improvement so I need to watch some vids and have a think.

Cheers mate I'm happier with my log press after tonight, getting my form sorted out now, and actually pressing it up rather than forwards...bit gutted with the stones though, once I get em off the floor I've got them up but breaking them off the floor didn't happen - need tacky!!! Also might do some axle deads for the wrist strength. I'm gonna do stones for as long as poss on sunday and see what happens. Damn my girly arms!

Training at HHH tonight - good log session with Pete, good to meet you mate, and squats with Mark afterwards.

Squats (all beltless)

5x70kg
5x100kg
3x120kg
1x130kg
1x140kg (Failed - woulda been a beltless PB as well Unhappy )

IFSA Log C+P

1 clean 3 press 72kg
1x77kg
1x82kg PB
failed 82kg press twice
3 singles 77kg
1 clean 3 press 72kg
1 clean 2 press 72kg x2

Yoke Press (Strict)

4x5 empty yoke

Squats again

3x100kg
2x130kg
1x135kg
1x135kg

Paused squats

3x3 100kg - too easy, shoulda gone 110

Partial squats from rack stood on a block

10 second hold then a set of 10 partial squats 250kg

f**ked after this little lot, log is getting better every session. Bit rusty on squats, so went a bit conservatively tonight with the paused squats. Never done heavy partials like that, but felt good for more reps, so I will stand on more plates next time then I'm doing more of the range of motion than just the pickup minus 2". Next session Sunday at Olympic Happy

Mon 24th Aug

Went down the gym and spent 1 1/2 hours practicing technique on cleans, focussing on sorting my footwork out and going into a full front squat when catching it. Cracked it after some advice from a guy who was up from a village called London, daaan saaarf somewhere I suppose...but he trains at Genesis Gym, and gave me a few tips. Finally sussed out what to do, kept losing it forwards at first but that was in the setup. Now I need to get my elbows through on the catch, but all in all a big improvement tonight. Still needs a lot of tidying up though. Finished with some db snatches up to 35kgx3 each hand for a few sets.

Just nail the light set, but I aim to get every one. 100kg overhead isn't far off, but not yet mate, so I will be happy with 5 out of 5 on the light set. Are you nailing the heavy set? You're looking damn strong overhead at the moment, even injured!

Wed 26th Aug

Training at HHH tonight, felt tired before I got there!

Stones to 48"

70kg to 60" a few times to warm up
93kg x3
105kg x1
120kg - failed around half a dozen times due to technique - all back and trying to roll it over my knee to lap it and couldn't. I think I was standing too far away from it as well. By the time I had got the gist of it I was too f**ked to lift it high enough...
105kg x1
93kg x1

Will train these with a 93kg stone for reps on Friday to get the right technique.

Deadlifts

3x100kg
3x140kg
3x2 160kg
1x170kg (failed beltless so put belt on straight away and nailed it)
1x170kg
1x160kg

Log c+p

about 8 singles with 72kg log

Felt even more tired after this, had some mad, mad stuff to think about this week, always comes up at the wrong time! (Is there ever a right time?)

2 more sessions, HHH Friday and Olympic on Sunday. I have to get these stones sorted technique wise, and get some practice arm over arm before the comp, as I've never done it before.

Hopefully I will get 3 out of 4 stones in this comp, I want to get 4 but at the moment it looks like a crackpipe dream. I have got my overhead somewhere near, too late to make much improvement on anything else now though...

Haven't been able to make it to the gym until today - such is life...

Squat

5x bar
5x60kg
3x100kg
2x120kg
1x140kg
1x145kg
1x150kg

Partial squats from pins

2x8 w/220kg with 10s hold before reps

OH DB snatch

3 each hand 20kg DB
3 each hand 30kg DB
3 each hand 35kg DB
2x1 40kg - had to c+p due to f**kedness of shoulders

OH BB C+P

3x60kg
3x70kg
3x80kg
failed 85kg twice

Bench Rack Lockouts

5x85kg
5x100kg
5x120kg
5x140kg
2x5 130kg

Low Pulley Rows

8x10 plates
8x17 plates
8x18 plates

Had a real CBA day today, felt tired and drained really, glad of a week off now before next Sunday's comp, which means either I've got it just right or I have overdone it and will not perform. Who khows, but with a week's rest I reckon I will be there or thereabouts standard wise come Sunday.

Plan for Olympic Dragons is:

Deadlift 180 opener, end up with a PB
OH do light set 5 out of 5
tyre/yoke/farmers complete course in reasonable time
arm over arm - f**k knows never done it...
stones 2 out of 4 quickly, hoefully load number 3 as well

If I do this I will be pleased, no problem with bodyweight (85.4kg) so plan is rest, eat, sleep and turn up in time on the day! Grin
