hope it comes together for the masters


Power cleans, full cleans and hang cleans and will help you more than pulls Boar!

Especially with variations in jerks thrown in

Pulls on your day off are great though... Better than doing no training at all

On Monday I will try to snatch, following that a decision is likely to be made as to whether I bother with the British, or whether my competitive boots get hung up for good

Old weightlifters don't retire. Their snatches tighten up and their jerks get soft.

Sorry missed you this morning. Cycling, running, bench and swimming last night left me a bit jaded today. I enjoyed it so kept going.

I'll never fully retire lol. I just don't have enough time or enthusiasm to make a proper effort at any sort of build up.

You missed a good run this morning. Started off in snow and slush, followed by some mild hale. It was actually good fun. Another couple of weeks and it should start becoming less painful and more enjoyable.

Isn't one of your daughters a keen runner Jeff ? I started taking jack to running events but he didn't seem enthusiastic about getting puffed out , he is showing a mild interest in the weights to either impress girls or to t**t bullies.....either is good by me !

Yes Jon, its my eldest daughter that got me running. She isnt desd serious, just a hobby runner but can knock out a reasonable time for 5 or 10k with only runnng a 5k per week.

I tried to get my son lifting, he did 3 sessions, had some potential but just wasn't interested, theres no point in forcing them.

Monday 23 February 2015

Snatch
40 x1, x1, x1
50 x1
60 x1
70 x1
80 x1
These were all done without standing up from the bottom position as thats what destroys the dodgy wrist. All easy enough, ill do them again next week and then maybe decide whether to do the British. If I do it I risk being 10k+ down on the snatch because of the bad wrist, not sure how competitive that would leave me

Snatch Pull
100 x3
120 x3, x3, x3
100 x3, x3, x3 from below knee

Squat
70 x5
115 x3
135 x3
150 x3, x3, x2 last one was only 2 as had a little twinge in the lower back, hopefully nothing but better safe than sorry

Bench 3x10

Not as bad as it could have been.

That would only be theoretical competitiveness. Actual can be very different. Look at the number of times Aaron has won stuff just by getting three lifts in. On paper Leicester city couldn't beat United but they did.

Leave the snatch until the comp and build a bigger c&j to destroy competition.

Pulls + squats + press - snatch - clean - jerk = Masters training

and curls on Friday if you're going to a wine bar.

Which is fine as long as you know you are physically able to snatch, unfortunately I need to test the water to see if it is possible, and hopefully eat away at the dread of doing them.

and curls on Friday if you're going to a wine bar.

Of course!!
