And with that in mind I ditched presses yesterday due to treacherous weather and slippy ground in my back yard to do curls instead.

Back in Sugden. Adam and Anthony were both there, which ended a pretty dismal spell of training by myself. Cleans were easy if piss poor technique wise. Presses got better from set to set. Very happy with these. I'll go for either 65kg for sets of five or 72.5 for doubles next time I do strict press. Quite confident about breaking my PB (80kg) on these in the near future.
Still playing about with form on the SLDLs. Did a normal deadlift at the start of each set this time then started the set from the top position this time. Normal deadlifts were just an afterthought to see where I'm at on them. They've marginally improved I think. Form was alot better but the 190kg was still very tough. Had no business going for the PB attempt and bailed on it very early as there was no way it was going. Not too disheartened though as it wasn't on the cards yet anyway.
Good session. Looking forward to getting in again on Saturday.

Joni, what time are you getting to Cleggy's place Saturday? Hopefully I can get down there for an hour or so

That hurt. It's your fault if I gorge on chocolate to ease the pain tonight.

Thanks for the offer mate but Becky's coming up this weekend and we're training with Anthony Saturday afternoon I think.

Aye, I'll take your advice next time I think. Hadn't really planned to deadlift - just threw it in at the end as an afterthought really.

Traing with Becky and Anthony today. Good fun after I stopped huffing about the Utd match. Still getting that tearing feeling in my quads when I'm squatting. Could be a blessing though as after the first single at 140kg I toyed with a lower bar position and got my fat arse and hamstrings a bit more involved. Second 2 singles at 140kg were better, and the 150kg was decent but the plates were slipping off the piece of s**te bar. Missed the 160kg because plates started slipping then I lost concentration. Finally got a decent bar and got 160kg at the second attempt. Wasn't easy but it went. Then tried a few sumos to kill 10 minutes.
Push press and close grip bench tomorrow with Becky, then probably squats and rows on Monday night with Becky and Adam.

Sunday 15 March
Power Clean and Push Press:
70x1+2
70x1+2
75x1+2
70x1+2

Not including warm ups and alot of faffing about/practising with power cleans at 60kg.

50x3
50x3
Close Grip Bench Press:
60x5
70x5
80x5
85x4
70x5
70x5
Trained with Adam this morning. Might go back in to babble s**te at Becky and Anthony in a bit. Doesn't look like much now that I've wrote it down but felt like a good session. Power cleans varied in degrees of s**teness but were promising overall. I'll work them regularly and hard for a bit, and might even try my hand at full cleans again. Push presses were fairly good although too light to get excited about. Somehow managed to forget to do any benching whatsoever over the past two weeks or so but close grips felt fine. Didn't have a spot for the top set but probably could have got the 5th. Strict press is the only upper body lift that I've done anything worthwhile on lately but this is something to work off for the next few weeks at least.

Thanks mate. Probably only Saturday afternoon this week because I work afternoons Monday to Friday. In the name of full disclosure, went back this afternoon to spot Becky on bench and done a whopping 2 sets of curls at 40kg - 6 reps then 8 reps. In jeans and a tracksuit top no less. Maybe I really am one of Sugden Centre's wannabe gangstas.
