 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10068 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Sean, I think it is 13.20 return if you get cheap tickets for being young - not sure if you do? Otherwise it may actually be cheaper to buy a return to Manchester and another return from Manchester to Adlington - mad, but these things often are. (I have not checked this.) | ||

 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Saturday 06 February 2010 Northern Masters Championships Had a bad run in training, illness and distractions with the Push and Pull. Always going to be a bad one. Turns out I only need my openers to win so may as well have a go and see how the land lies. Warm up was fine, I've got Alan and Littler in my corner, you dont get much better! Snatch 1st Attempt - 100k Pass 2nd Attempt - 105k Fail - flew up but didnt fix May as well go up 3rd Attempt - 111k Fail - very almost but not quite Clean and Jerk Warm up wasnt ideal, I mistimed it and last one was too light 1st Attempt - 130k Pass - easy enough 2nd Attempt - 140k Fail Go up 3rd Attempt - 142k Fail - close but no cigar A lot of positives from today. Lat couple of months training have been very mediocre for a variety of reasons, health, winter temperatures, inability to get regular sessions in, distractions. And despite this I came close to poundages that I havent even attempted for a few months. Shows it's in there somewhere and that I still aint scared of having a go. Fresh start on Monday for the British in 7 weeks. It appears we should be ok!! Enjoyed today, good fun!! | ||

This is what you did on a given day with a certain training and it doesnt mean more than that. Seven weeks is plenty enough for you to get back on tracks! | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 19476 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | The training mishaps, the cold and the hassle of the last few weeks all showed today. But you still looked good. A bit more luck over the next seven weeks and it will be a dofferent kettle of fish entirely. | ||

 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14379 posts | As the current British champion was watching due to being 'injured' I reckon you've done enough to win the British already barring serious f**k ups. Lot to take away from this, the main one being that you know what you need to add to it 7 weeks eh? Party time. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Monday 08 February 2010 A bit achey and sore today in a few places. Not sure if that is a result of lifting on Saturday or taking the kids ice skating on Sunday?? Start of a new build up for the British. Lets hope for some milder weather, and a decent run at it. Phase 1 = Three weeks squats and pulls, back to basics and try to build a bit of strength Arrive at Adders to a mild bollocking off Alan. Presses are now off the agenda until after the British, although I am allowed to push press. Snatch pulls are to be for height rather than weight. All sounds sensible. Clean Pull 70 x3 110 x3 130 x3 150 x3 170 x2 170 x2 170 x2 150 x3 150 x3 150 x3 Squat knee sleeves 70 x5 120 x5 150 x5 170 x5 150 x5 and that's all i could manage tonight, the weekend of activity has tired this old boy out  | ||
