 Are horror films healthy...? Member 5449, 2203 posts | Boar said:wiggers , would one use straps to do a clean pull ? 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 | ||

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. | ||

 Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25597 posts Administrator | 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. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | 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. | ||

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 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. | ||

Of course!! | ||
