Member 4046, 590 posts | Post Edited: 08.07.2014 @ 18:23 PM by dave_rogerson Pressing felt surprisingly strong today and I had a bit of a funny revelation, which I shall reveal after:Strict Press, paused (supersetted with lower traps) 50 x 3 60 x 3 70 x 3 80 x 4 x 6 (first 4 sets were really easy) Close grip bench, paused 60 x 3 80 x 3 100 x 5 (really easy) 105 x 5 (still pretty easy but fatigue was in so left it there) 90 x 10 Then I did a whole bunch of curls, triceps, upper back and stuff for my hips that nobody wants to read about and I don't want to admit to doing and it was at this time that I had a thought. So, the sessions where I am not doing weightlifting I tend to do at commercial gym that's near to where I live. The missus goes there - I meet her there after work. I'd done all of my pressing today and was sat on bench next to the squat rack watching her train and I got a little reflective. As I was doing a set of concentration curls (yep!), she was grinding out multiple triples on the front squat and it was at this point that I had a thought. Is my missus more hardcore than me? I moved onto cable pressdowns and then she did some strict pressing, working up to a heavy single; then set of five and then a back-off set for reps, all with significant weight. Later, I did some weighted clamshell exercises for my glutes and I noticed that she was supersetting handstand pressups and pullups (unassisted). F***k! | ||

Member 4046, 590 posts | Mixed bag really: Front squats 60 x 3 100 x 3 120 x 2 130 x 2 140 x 1 147.5 x 2 (recent pb) 140 x 2 Snatch 40 x 3 50 x 3 60 x 2 70 x 2 80 x 1 85 x 1 90 x 1 92.5 x miss 87.5 x 1, 1 82.5 x 2 x 2 Clean and Jerk 60 x 2 80 x 1 100 x 1 110 x 1 115 x 1 120 x 1 110 x 2 + 1 x 2 Then did a glute circuit and some stretches. Snatch has gone to pieces. I'm working on a tip Chris gave me last session. Basically I am inconsistent from the floor to above my knee when the weight gets heavy (I've got weirdly long f*cking, awkward legs), which makes my first pull tricky and sometimes forward. I asked Chris how he thinks about his first pulls last session. Anyway, crux of it, Chris lifts by focusing on two things: keeping his arse down as he prizes the bar off the floor, and gets his weight towards his heels ASAP. I worked on thinking of lifting this way today and it does change the pull. I probably need a few reps with this in my head really. Seemed OK on clean and jerk although I wasn't moving my feet much for some reason. Owen. No mate, Chris works on a Friday so wouldn't be able to make it. | ||

Member 4046, 590 posts | little_a said:Me and my Mrs had a competition a while back. In front of people. Me C&J and her DL. No allowance, straight weight. She won Hope this helps... Ha! Sadly I know this feeling. There is quite the chance that when she trained today, my better half deadlifted my clean and jerk weights.  Anyway. Will keep plugging away and trying to not be s**t, but snatching is my nemesis it seems. | ||
