Training looking good.

How do you find front squatting so often is treating your knees?

i think they are ok, sometimes a bit of ache. but i dont front squat all that much volume, even if fairly often

In past 7 days:

sunday - 1x150
monday - 1x160
tuesday - 1x130
thursday - 1x160
saturday - 1x160, 1x165, 3x155

lol, actually that looks pretty funny when i write it down like that...

Arguably the s**ttyest session for a while Grin

Though keeping up with the tradition, it was all due to weak pressing. Left shoulder is weak, fact. 5 weeks left to the comp and the 110kg log target looks in danger.

The Plan is to up the volume for the next two weeks to get some meat on my wee shoulders. Also the leg drive is a bit weak, frequent front squatting may have a part in that, who knows. Will tone it down after couple of weeks. Third change is focus: cant try to build barbell jerks, axle overhead, log and viking at the same time. Log first, everything else as assistance, with more strict pressing, and hopefully some board pressing for tricep strength.

LETS GO!

for what its worth, todays session...

OLYMPIC SPORTS GYM

tried to power jerk from the full squat clean hand position, 3 fails with 100 - learning this will have to wait till after the comp. Cleans easy, but just lost with what to do with it once its up.

Axle clean & jerk
full squat clean and some kind of jerk till 95
then power clean & push jerk 95 - tons easier

Empty big log, 97.5 - three fails

axle power jerks from blocks
8x35
5x65
5x85

front squat
5x70
3x110
1x140 - easy enough but didnt have drive to go heavier

viking strict press
3x10x40

Smooth sea never made a good sailor.

thats right mate - saved the f**king day!

You cant pull in a half arsed way if GAZ joins in!

I consider myself bollocked - was expecting nothing less from big T Grin

Its just a training lift man, not even thinking about the 250 mate, have to look past it. Will pull it as part of the build up in 2 weeks time.

It is about f**king time...
