feel incredibly excited. purchased a new needle bearing barbell today - should arrive later this
week. as soon as the Worlds are done it's a race to a 300lb clean and jerk.
also made the decision to have ten to twelve weeks of no back squatting. Two reasons, one to
have a break from it but secondly to give it front squats a real focus and get that 180kg mark

today.
slightly tentative as back still felt tight. had to wait ages as equipped lifters were taking for ever
deadlifts
60kg x 3
100kg x 3
140kg x 3
180kg - hookgrip beltless
200kg x 1 belt alternate grip
220kg x 1
235kg x 2 - solid and if I had been bolder could have been a third there
low bar squats - had to use the power rack as equipped lifters were now hogging racks

60kg x 3
100kg x 3
140kg x 1
160kg x 1 belt on
180kg x 1
195kg x 1 - got pissed off as floor had a bump and stood on it every rep!
205kg x 2 - asked to work in at the rack. felt much better and again if had been bold there was
more reps there

pull ups
bw x 24

feel very confident for next week . equipped lifting is not my cup of tea - a session must
take four hours as it takes 20 mins between sets to get suited and wrapped up!!!!

enough

100kg x 3
140kg x 2
160kg x 1 belt on
180kg x 1

in me

pull ups

eager to compete and get started on a new training focus but this session left me with good
confidence for friday. all I want is a PB!!!!

no PB!

so friday was a mixed bag. ended up in third place in seniors (and third place for whole class
including all the competitors)

felt ok going into this - had a nervous night before hand doing my international reffing exam.
warm up felt good. spent a lot of time woth wes mcguiness who placed second at the British
and knew we would be a close contest. first was out of the question as Moldovan guy was
opening around 220 and eventually finished his third on anew world record of 245kg.

I opened in 205kg - no problem

217.5kg secong lift - no lift. was worried over depth and pretty much took it as deep as possible and didnt recover it on the asccent. at this point wes had missed the same lift and i knew we was battling for second and third. if i went heavier and missed could drop out of top three so ended up taking same weight again.

Wes was up first and hit it. i felt this was a good indication i had 220kg + in me today as took
it as deep as necessary and it went up fairly easy. due to bodyweight this meant wes beatme
as he was 0.1kg lighter and took the new British record we had both just did.
moving up to u90kg now as weight cuts are hitting my progress I think - that and I like my
food!

benching

80kg x 3

trying new set up on bench. wider grip, tighter set up and. feet turned out more. feels stronger
but found losing form as reps went on. pressing muscles didnt give out but couldnt maintain
the set up as set went in.
overhead press was harder than i thought - think set my 1RM for estimating 80% too high. will
stick with this though
finding hitting my target kcals tough as often need another 300kcals come the end of the day -
not going to complain though!
