Good work Jeff!

Do you put leg drive in jerks all down to leg strength/squats then? If so I know what I want/need to work on...


Definitely mate, lifting is legs full stop!!! At the moment i'm moving reasonably well but after 3 months with no real squatting it puts me well off the mark strength-wise.

Very light and quick session, just to tick over till Saturday

Clean and Jerk
Few singles with 60k

Bench Press
5x5 ish

Db front raise 4x10

Done and dusted till Saturday.

Not sure what to expect at weekend. I think i've currently got a 150 in my legs at the minute but it's a case of bringing it out ont the day. That said, if 150 goes then a bash at 160 wouldnt be out of the question, why not?!?!!?

150k doesnt sound like a problem and not too far off, nice one!

Saturday 13/12/08

Adlington Push and Pull


Havent really had a build up to this, coupled with feeling sh1t the last few days and a good days was never on the cards

Clean and Jerk
140 opener, safe enough
150 reasonable clean but lack of fitness/lifting meant no gas left and dumped it before i blacked out
150 failed clean, which says it all, I aint quite right

Felt completely drained and had no interest in doing anything else so called it a day!!

All nice and low low low, nice reflex out of the bottom position, probably the nicest squats I've managed in the past 3 - 4 months. Enjoyed them.

Short term aim is to get these up to 200 for 3x3 in the same style as tonight, then maybe introduce wraps again and push the weight up!!

Enjoyed tonight, good session, good company, can't go wrong!!! Grin

Thursday 18/12/08

One of those weeks, Thursday session beckons. Usually a lonely event training on a Tuesday or Thursday at Adders but fortunately we have our favourite Frenchman in residence this week and he is joining me for a workout, good stuff!!!! Grin

Have the bright idea on the drive over to ask Mish if he fancies a few snatches tonight!!! WTF???? SNATCHES

Snatch for the second time this year Grin

40 x3
70 x2 hee hee these hurt!!

120 x loaded the bar and got as far as getting over it then changed my mind x2

60 x3
80 x3
100 x2
120 x2

Not too bad considering recent form and strength levels etc. Mish impressed with an easy 85k PB snatch, and an even easier 125 PB jerk from racks, pleasure to train with him!!!

Superb and well deserved!

He'd just "clicked" on a couple of things at the end of yesterday, but was too tired to do anything with them. Sounds like not today!
