Pennington 5k Parkrun - 31:01

Not great, but missed last week and decided not to go mad, so not too bad.

It was better than that. Your lifting is therapy for you. A chance to get away from it all and talk bo***cks and blow away a cobweb or two. You like it more than you care to admit.

You are correct on all counts Pete, Adlington is my 'me' time and I cherish the time I get there with my friends. If I manage to enjoy some lifting while I am there all the better

Can you not coach as well as train...?

I mean is it at all possible for you to do so?

Not really. You could do a tickover session while coaching but I don't think you could anything that requires focus.

To be honest I think Jeff enjoys the coaching more than the lifting, if he had a few decent pupils to mentor and could still lift a bit and blow a way the cobwebs with some fun stuff as and when he wanted, he would be a happy man. Just my opinion. He should do what makes him happy, as should we all.

Depends on who you are coaching and how much time youve got. With a complete beginner and only 45 minutes there was no way I could do both.

As they progress you can then train alongside them and coach as well.

As Pete aludes to, I do enjoy coaching and if I had the time, and the people, I would happily do more. I would also still like time to train myself as well though.

That's what I was thinking

Still with a complete beginner I wouldn't introduce the technical moments anyway I always start with deadlift, power cleans, push presses and then finish with squats... Could have done 10 minutes of each doing sets of 5 and still managed to get a few sets of something done yourself even if it was just a few squats

Anyway

I'm off to lift and hopefully coach myself Happy

Yesterday I was helping a lady doing hang cleans while I did snatch pulls

10 minutes to teach someone how to power clean, something like properly? A bit ambitious in my eyes.

All I did with her last night was power cleans, and will do the same on Wednesday, with the addition of a few squats and pressing time permitting.

Power Clean and Push Press
60 x2+3,×2+3

Amy arrives and requires coaching, the rest of my session was squeezed in when and where there was a gap

Clean Pull

130 x5
150 x5

Squat
70 x5
115 x5

All a bit rushed.

Amy did well, amd April salvaged what could have been a poor snatch session.
