Mention of your loveliness in your new leotard was best kept to a private email i thought Ped, but now you mention it you were looking extra delightful in your new attire last night, and a tad slimmer i am sure!!! You cut the type of dash that would warrant a second glance when passing in the street!!!!

I concur - people passing you, enleotarded, in the street, would glance at least twice.

Working from home as the kids are off school. Mrs W gets home later than usual which means the traffic will make a trip to Adders a pain in the arse.

Into the garage i go...

Deadlift
70 x5
70 x5
120 x3
160 x3
180 x2
200 x2
200 x2
200 x2
200 x2
200 x2
Nothing special, token gesture really, the garage doesnt get great sessions

Lack of roof height means no overhead possible, so..

Press-overs
50 x10
50 x10
50 x10
Ooh feel the pump Grin

Curls 3x10 as above

That was that, not an Adders session, but at least i managed to get my sorry arse in there and do a bit!!

Snatches are on the back burner again mate, most got up to recently was 125 and a 130 fail.No rush, will have a bash again in the near future, I think the secret is to do them as little as possible then you dont get too pissed off with them LOL Grin

Friday 10 April 09

Woke up this morning and the knees alomst smiled at me. looks like the lay off the full Oly lifts is paying off, good plan..

On the drive to the gym, the knees are smiling and beckoning to me, "Come on, a few jerks won't hurt" they utter "you could even do them from behind neck and we probably won't even feel it!!"...

FFS, knees can be very persuasive when they want to be!!!!

Jerk from Rack (behind neck)
60 x3
60 x3
60 x3
100 x2
120 x1
140 x1
150 x1
160 xF oops, no drive
160 x1 easy, consider going up and get pulled back by Mr Littler, "just do that again!"
160 xF silly f**ker
160 x1 easy, "Now do it with 150, 2 singles" Mr L seems to have taken over!!
150 x1
150 xF what a nob
150 x1
And that was that. Mr L was right to shy away from heroics, the misses were just silly misses that could just have easily gone. Having not squatted in anger for a good few weeks, and not jerked in longer, and not behind neck since last August got to be happy with these. More to the point the knees didnt seem to mind that much either, they were right after all!!!

Front Squat
60 x3
100 x3
120 x2
140 x2
150 x2
Leave them at that, first fronties for months and months so dont over do it!!

Press
50 x5
70 x5
80 x5
80 x5
80 x5

Managed to call in at the pub with the lads for a quick drink and left them filling their faces!!!

Enjoyed today, knees enjoyed it too (well almostGrin)

Inspired by your recent antics mate!!!

Had never done BTN until last year, did them for about 4 weeks and got up to 165 so i suppose that is my PB. I have jerked 180 from racks from the front, but that was way way in the past.

Knees permitting, i'll stick with them for a few weeks and hopefully get up to 170+ like your good self!!!! Wink
