wise words mate...

actually, no point speculating and putting limits on myself from the outset.

Will just nail everything as heavy as i can is the best approach and see where i land!

Today was a big session in Ashton, present even cream of the crop The Champion, Big T.

OLYMPIC SPORTS GYM

But i f**ked the session up from the get go.

Approx like this:

warmups with all kinds, including trying to overhead press that bas***d railway sleeper!

medley: 2 x 80kg sandbag 5m and load, 122 farmers 15m, 2 x tyre

Rookie mistake. Went out all guns blazing and picked up the farmers too fast and they were on my fingers from the start. Ended up tearing the skin of some of my fingers, and that was then the end of that. Two drops with the farmers.

Weirdly still managed to almost match my last medleys time, so i must have been really slow then Grin

Log press
up to 102, f with 110

no max farmers without the skin.

arm over arm - that went ok, should still squeeze few seconds off it by being more ballsy.

Then saw the olympics young guard doing cleans and joined in.

Cleans
3x70
1x90
1x110
1x120
1x130 - pb
joe told that i hold the bar too tightly in my hands which makes the front squat messy, tried to release it so that it just lands on my fingertips:
1x100 - ok, felt easy, but i think it will take some time before i stop being scared about the barbell flying in the air towards my throath without any grip on it!

that clean pb recovered some of the otherwise suboptimal session. Not that the clean pb helps much since my jerk is about 110 at the moment Grin

THE PLAN:

wed - deads, maybe log

friday - medley, farmers

sunday - light log, some light work, maybe arm over arm

then rest till the comp on friday.

cheers guys. Thought about it, and the silver linig for making a mess of that farmers in the medley is that i will never do that again. Had it happened on the comp day i would be kicking myself till 2010.

back was stiff today mate. But kind of forgot about it because of so much happening in a big training crew all the time Grin

Nice clean PB mate, missed that one. Dont rush the pick up on those farmers and you will fly on the medley
