has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Monday Plenty of high pulls and some Oly work. Wednesday Deadlifts Warmups then... 250kg x 1 (the aim was for three reps but I soon worked out that even the second rep wasn't on) (Modified) Split Jerks Warmups then... 120kg x 1 125kg x f 125kg x f 125kg x f The first two attempts were reasonably close; the third one wasn't. An 'OK' session but I'm pretty pissed off at the DL especially as I managed 240kg for 5 only a couple of weeks ago. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Monday 26th Squats (not particularly heavy) Wednesday Split Jerks Warmups then... 110kg x 1 115kg x 1 120kg x 1 125kg x f 125kg x f 122.5kg x f 122.5kg x f 122.5kg x f 120kg x 1 121kg x 1 122kg x 1 123kg x f 125kg x f I'm convinced that I have the strength to nail the lifts/weights that I've been failing. My timing, however, does need quite a bit of work. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Post Edited: 30.08.2013 @ 02:16 AM by Pete Friday 30thDeadlifts Warmups then... 230kg x 1 - very easy 252.5kg x 1 - I wanted to make sure that I lifted more than last week so went for this and it was extremely easy. 265kg x f - the previous lift felt so easy that I thought another 12.5 kg would be manageable. I was wrong. I did get it to mid-shin height. 261kg x f - nearly; it would have probably gone if I hadn't used/wasted so much energy on the '265'. 260 is my all-time PB for a 'hitch-free' deadlift, hence the odd number. Split Jerks Warmups then... 110kg x 1 115kg x 1 120kg x f 120kg x f 115kg x 1 - long hold at lockout 115kg x 1 - slightly longer hold at lockout I've probably gone for too many one-rep maxes lately but I'm still going to continue with this style of training for a few more weeks. | ||

Lots of singles with 110kg - concentrating on producing better technique. Deadlifts Warmups then... 255 kg x 1 - pretty easy. 260 kg x 1 - very smooth, reasonable speed. There was probably another 5kg there; but not after the 260. | ||

Squats Light weights x plenty I'm pleased with this session. I reckon that I might jerk 140 kg before the end of the year - at least 135 kg. For deadlift, I reckon that I'll pull 272.5 kg before 2014. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Pretty 'average' session today. Deadlifts Warmups then... 220 kg x 1 250 kg x 1 250 kg x 1 - terrible technique! I was attempting to pull more efficiently but just made things worse. 250 kg x 1 - even worse technique. I still didn't hitch it though  Power Jerks Warmups then... 110 kg x 1 115 kg x 1 117.5 kg x 1 118.5 kg x f 117.5 kg x f 115 kg x 1 115 kg x 1 Front Squats Lights weights x many A s**tty session really. I expected more of myself (on the 'numbers') but my effort levels were there. If my next session is s**t, I'll move back to some 'rep' work. | ||

I lifted even less than this when I tried them about a month ago. Pendlay rows 110 kg x 3 115 kg x 3 120 kg x 3 125 kg x 3 130 kg x 3 (the final rep of this set was the first row that wasn't perfectly strict) Double Overhand Deadlift (without hook gripping) 130 kg x 1 180 kg x 1 210 kg x 1 - fairly comfy, I might try 220 next time I think that 250 kg is a good medium-term target for these. | ||
