I've spent today on a BWL Oly lifting coaching course which I really enjoyed, learning the lifts properly myself as well as how to coach them properly. Back there tomorrow too.

Despite being knackered I nipped over to the Edge Gym in Leeds (where I will now be working out of) to meet up with Sob for a quick session.

Chinups

BW x 5 x 3

Front Squat

70 x 5
70 x 3
100 x 3
120 x 1
140 x 1
152.5 x 1 - Belted
160 x 1 - Belted
120 x 5

The gym record was 150 on the new boards so I just pushed it up by 10kg, not massive I know but I've never really trained fronties!!

Thanks mate. I thought a PB on my favourite lift deserved one of my favourite songs!

On Sunday I had the 2nd day of the BWL coaching course which was good. Over the 2 days I learnt loads especially being a complete novice to Oly lifting. I full snatched 40kg which was nice, but I couldn't help power snatching most as it all felt light. I now don't know whether to get coaching myself or just try and 'self coach' using vids... I have an assessment in 4 weeks so need to improve my technique and practice coaching.

Yesterday afternoon I spent a while working on cleans and then clean and jerk, with my brother too who has never done any Oly lifts.

I worked upto 60kg, I have a vid of me doing the full lift on 45kg which is on my bench vid to follow.

Last night at 6 straight after the Oly work I went into a bench session. I have 10 training weeks left before my next comp (may be doing another now 4 weeks before that in October but will be treating it as 'training'). So as I'm nearly peaked I'm taking heavy singles on Bench and Squat this week before starting a 9 week build up, based on what I've been doing but I'll work to set reps rather than auto-regulating.

Bench

20 x 10
20 x 5
60 x 5
80 x 5
100 x 3
120 x 1
130 x 1
140 x 1
147.5 Fail

Well happy I got 140, I've not benched that in well over a year now! Went for an all time PB and it was close.

2 Board Bench

130 x 3
140 x 3

Incline DB Flys

My left shoulder (unstable one) has been giving me grief recently again and is sore, these felt awful so left them.

Incline DB Bench

35 x 8
40 x 8
40 x 8
40 x 8

Barbell Curl

25 x 15 x 3

Cable OH Tricep Extension

3 sets 12

Hammer Curls

12.5 x 12 x 3

TRX Pressup

BW x 8 x 3

From 2:30-4:00pm today I trained practising technique on Snatch.

I did a large number of sets of 5s on 30kg and then 3s on 40kg. Most were power snatches with some full snatches in there!

OH Squat

40 x 5 x 3

You get better the more you do these lifts... Which makes l the hard work absolutely worth while


It is such a universally motivating consideration for weightlifting both from a coaches and lifters perspective


Let us know how you progress and keep these videos to remind yourself how you do so
