He's never been happy with one of my lifts in 6-years!  Hope the knees are in tip top form for the British. Al is a top bloke. There are few like him around nowadays, if Dave is anything like Al, you must get a beasting off him on a regular basis. One of the best pieces of praise I've ever had off Al was "now, that wasn't bad, you weren't moving as spastic on that one"  Knees aren't 100% tbh, but hoping I can manage them for the British.. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Monday 05 March 2012 Played it a bit tactical and thought I'd give the knees a break and havent trained since last Wednesday. Realised while i was stretching off that the break has done little if no good. Takes an age to warm the knees up.. Clean and Jerk bar x lots 60 x1+2 60 x1+2 60 x1+2 60 x1+2 80 x1+2 100 x1+2 110 x1 115 x1 120 x1 125 x1 130 xF reasonable clean, abortion of a jerk attempt. Had already talked myself out of the jerk building up as the knees werent moving freely, nob!! 100 x1pwr cln+ 3 jerks I'll take tonight as a positive all things considered. Knees were very tender in parts, which results in me not splitting wide enough or dropping sufficiently on the jerk. the 120 and 125 were ok and pretty easy but not moving fluid enough for the head to be in gear for the top weight. Even the 100x3 drop down werent moving as well as they normally do so left it there. Clean Pull 140 x3 150 x3 160 x3 160 x3 150 x3 Bench Press for the bodybuilding.. 5's and 8's Good chat with Pedallo and off home. | ||

Goals? 105/135 would be nice all things considered, current state of my knees and wrist would say 100/130 is more realistic but if I turn up with pain under control and my head in gear then the 105/135 is definitely do-able. Not great weights but you can only do what you can do. | ||

Theres a woman that trains from time in our gym Jean McConville, and her hausband Stuart you prob know them,pretty small community i'd imagine... Just turning 45 is that age cat 3? D I don't know the McConvilles personally but know of them and have seen them at comps. I think Jean may hold a world record or two for her class. Wrists and shoulders can be improved. Carry on with the dislocations with the broomstick. Also try unracking say 60k as if to front squat and work on gradually getting your elbows higher just stood there sort if thing. Something I always do as a warm up for wrists is to stand in front of a wall and put my hand palm down on the wall, fingers pointing to the floor and gradually move my hand higher up the wall all the time trying to keep my palm flat on the wall, worth a try. 45 is Masters 3 yeah, jeez you're even older than me!!! Good luck with it mate | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6051 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Sorry to hijack your thread Wigan, but I think Stuart McConville used to train at Bradford Uni. I've been told numerous times about him snatch balancing something like 130kg at 60 odd kg bodyweight, but never being able to stand up with it! Apparently the lads just used to lift the bar off him! If I didn't have the strength to stand up with a snatch balance weight there's no chance in hell I'd be committing to getting under it! I don't commit very well to bodyweight snatch balances let alone double BW! | ||

Member 1085, 408 posts SQ 220, BP 175, DL 285680.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYOr7tcZh_k Wigan, Thanks for info, I found this U-Tube video of Gurdawer Dhesi, Looks to be a big 94, still going strong at 50 +? find the super slo mo's stuff pretty good training tools for checking body position, Do you have any links to more slow mo lifting video's, i could probably trawl through u-tube and find stuff but if anyone knew of where to look would save me the time. I always assume that i never pull the bar high enough, but maybe its just a case of being too slow at getting under it looking at this video, he doesnt pull much above waist height. | ||

Need to hassle him more to give me some pointers. Noboby up this neck of the woods to get much coaching tips off of. | ||
