Cheers Simon, I would definitely recommend the ed coan routine, it's the most effective routine I've used so far.

Cheers mate, I've been kickboxing now for just under a year, started it up to help with cardio and loose weight, it's helped a lot.

Monday 21st February

Event Training

Yoke

170kg x 25m
270kg x 25m
230kg x 20m (8.14 seconds)
230kg x 20m (was on for a fast time but over ran myself and dropped the yoke)
330kg x 5m

Axel clean and press

65kg x 5
95kg x 1
105kg x 1 (continental clean and press)
115kg x 1 (continental clean, failed press)
125kg x 1 (continental clean only) PB

Really happy with today's session, getting faster on the yoke and surprised myself with the 125kg continental clean, still a lot of work to be done on my overhead pressing though.
The 115kg press was close, I'll give it another go in a few weeks.

Really tough session today, I think it was because I did event training yesterday.
The speed deadlifts felt more like 185kg than 155kg, glad I finished it though, the superset at the end really destroyed me.
