Pulled my back a little on sunday but hopefully it wasn't anything serious.The hard work starts now as initial easy gains are slowing up and I'm having to work for my PB's.The overhead medley is my main concern as I'm miles off the training poundages required for the heavy set.

Yeah I'm certainly hoping to make it down to Olympic at least one more time before the comp but I have no idea of dates mate. It will be down to Tony ultimatley as I just tag along with him.

Im in a dillema about the overhead medley.

Dillema is do i go for the heavy set and aim to lift 3 or the 5 then end up with 18 points or play it safe and go with the light set that i know i can lift all 5 on.

Training partner couldn't apologise enough for taking the bar on the 140k attempt but it wasn't really his fault as it was listing to one side and I grunted at him not to take it but he said it just sounded like a distress call [Grin] anyway I'll get it next workout hopefully.

Over the moon with the 100k clean and push press

Not really comfortable with the close grips yet. not sure how close I should have my hands or where I should be bringing the bar down to.

Nah mate , your pressing is miles ahead of mine apart from maybe the incline. I'm still really worried about the overhead medley for the comp. I have a good ten weeks by my reconing but that will fly by I'm sure.

Oh the Coors Light was a success though.It doesn't taste too bad and I wasn't hung over this morning. I am upping the dose tonight however so we'll see how I feel tomorrow Roll-Eyes

Hard to describe really. My technique is ropey at best but I've done nastier cleans. With push presses I seem to either nail them or get nowhere close.I failed twice on the first attempt then popped it up on the second 'set'. I think there's a little more there if I can improve my technique.I want to concentrate on my logging now but I dont always have access to a log. I need to get over 100k on the log before comp time.
