Am off all week and have plans to try and build an olympic platform in my mates barn. After watching this video:



There's probably better guides out there, but this is the only one I've seen so far.

See how it goes.

Seated Dumbell Press

Worked up to 27.5kg didnt even manage a rep and pulled my trap. I suck at lifting weights. Should have not bothered really as I did feel a very slight niggle whilst doing snatches, and 27.5 would have been a PB.

Pro tip, use 20 plates when you can with pull ups to help avoid them moving around during sets.

Core work:

Hanging leg raises
Sit ups and crunches - havent done these for over a year due to them flaring my back up. Feel like Im neglecting my core a lot tho, so see how the pain goes.

Curlz

Snatches with the bar, no pain in the trap.

Good workout, 110kg was my max front squat a month ago, so to get 4 out at the same depth if not deeper feels good man.

Elbow was bothering me a bit so went for a 15 min walk and a bit of food.

Snatches with the bar

At first I was trying to full snatch and ending up pretty much power snatching. But stopping at the point where I catch it overhead and then dropping into to an atg overhead squat sorted it out a bit.

Last few reps were a bit better, but still s**t. Did about 50/60 reps.
