 wants part of OSG furniture ..one of the benches Member 843, 192 posts SQ 157, BP 100, DL 185442.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Bought an Exercise Bike today  getting it tomorrow so now post workout I can do cardio at home WINNERSession 12 of squats today! Feeling very good about todays squats prior to getting to the gym! ------------------ Warm Up ------------------ Squats with bar * LOTS 70KG * 6 ------------------ Main Squats ------------------ Today was a squat at 90% of my best at 130KG at 3 X 3. WOW They felt good and easy! Thanks to Jordan McGing for the spot! This dude is upping the anti also on his squat hes looking good and strong! Video below is the final set of squats. Then did some leg press I need to seriously learn the weight of these discs on the old school leg press. I just keep slapping the discs on and pressing as many as possible I had the 2 big ones on and then 4 medium ones ontop of that with one disc either side on the spikes. I managed 3 reps on that. Took the 2 plates off the side and managed 2 sets at 9 reps each. These felt good and easy(ish) after the squats! In all, what a top week of squats! Got to be ohnest I was really doubtful of the success of this routine BUT I really feel like my squat has come a long way on this routine! Feeling better than I could have imagined! Not squatting over the weekend just doing some more olympic stuff on Saturday and a circuit on Sunday Looking forward to Saturday at the gym! | ||

wants part of OSG furniture ..one of the benches Member 843, 192 posts SQ 157, BP 100, DL 185442.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Training on Saturday was wishy washy. Mainly due to the hangover and lack of sleep plus working at OSG. So I mainly stuck to nailing the snatches. Had a chat with Kev and just nailed the technique and kept the weight low. Best snatch was 60KG. Nailed a fair few at 50KG and tried to get the technique at 40KG. | ||

wants part of OSG furniture ..one of the benches Member 843, 192 posts SQ 157, BP 100, DL 185442.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Monday and Tuesday was a complete no go. I had an acute episode of Gastroenteritis. Thankfully I have got over it now and returned to training tonight! After getting Kev to spend some time with me Im feeling optimistic about the comp I have just entered. Also had a chat with Mr Howarth and he put things into vision for me. Tonight was snatches! Warm Up with a bar. 40KG * 3 40KG * 3 40KG * 3 50KG * 3 50KG * 3 50KG * 3 55KG * 3 55KG * 3 - one of these was awful and rightly so Mike gave me a bollocking! Then finished off with some triceps and abs for s**ts and giggles. Also just got myself a lesson with Shaun Clegg for a few pointers. So I dont think Im going to far wrong with my approach to this comp and Im keeping up with the squat routine from Friday and then starting the deadlift routine weeks after the squat routine has finished. So trying to keep my weights going ontop of this Olympic lifting. In all Im feeling slightly optimistic for this comp and well looking forward to it! | ||

And this tech work and learning the most demanding and beautiful lifts in the game can only be good for you in the long run eh? Keep up the good work mate! Cheers Joni, I do have a feeling that learning these techniques will help me in other areas of my training and I am really enjoying this training so I will post comp definitely keep up with them. Its different and very interesting learning these techniques. Little things such as the hip drive, I had no idea how such a simple idea played such a massive role! | ||

No guidance from Kev today, instead got some help from Keith Collier and Shaun Clegg. Warming up the snatches were awful and seemed all the technique had gone from last night then I got them back Warmed up with the oly bar. Then snatched at 40KG and 50KG all afternoon. Had a couple of cock ups but in all happy with it. Then did some movement events with Mike Howarth. Carried the sandbag for 40 Metres then dragged it for 40 back to the start. Did 3 sets of that and my legs at the end were pumped. Something different that I would not have thought of! Cheers Mike! Then I tried a few clean and jerks. Just went straight in at 70KG and managed to get Shaun to watch me on it. Shaun gave me a load of pointers that were useful again and just kept egging me on. To be ohnest Im nakered now and can hardly move my upper torso. BUT I have an hour on my exercise bike and also so abs to do now Im home. This Oly lark is mega! | ||

Also there is nothing wrong with your clean and jerks, they are very safe to practice and will only get better! JAMIE "I drained my own synovial fluid" OAG doing 2.5kg dumbell curls on his arse, classic! | ||
