 Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | 100kg BW Back squats 110x6 110x6 110x6 110x6 110x6 110x6 last two sets had dodgy form. BTN push press - going a bit heavier with the shoulder, felt ok 60x9 60x9 60x9 Did some chinups between sets, low reps just to ease in. Those squats were hard tbh :S the worst thing about 6x6 is it takes me 30-35 minutes to get through! | ||

Merry Christmas everybody!100.5kg BW Had to go to gym today to fit in with schedule next week. Not ideal given I was at a Christmas party until 4am last night but ended up being ok today actually! 2 Cleans 1 Jerk 80 85 87.5 90 92.5 95 - just the cleans, didn't attempt jerk Clean pulls 105x3 105x3 105x3 Back squats 110x2 110x2 110x2 110x2 110x2 110x2 meh, still tired from yesterday so no way near as fast as they should have been Shoulder felt recovered enough to try the jerks today! Cleans felt great, really stayed connected to bar during the turnover and didn't crash down on me apart from on the 2nd clean of the 95kg set. Really happy with them, the leg strength is coming through for sure. Also felt lighter in the pull today. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | 100kg BW today Front squats 93x6 93x6 93x6 93x6 93x6 93x6 pretty hard. Still going beltless for everything, feel like it's very beneficial. RDLs - used straps as finger still hurting from bouldering 2 weeks ago 90x10 90x10 90x10 5x10 incline DB press, light weight. Haven't done any pressing in ages so wanted to reintroduce it. 3 sets petersen step ups. happy with that. Pleased with how leg strength is coming back. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | 100.6kg BW Power snatch + snatch 60 65 65 65 just did snatch singles from here, no power snatch 70 70 75 77.5 77.5 77.5 77.5 no misses, happy with that Snatch pulls 90x3 90x3 90x3 GMs 57.5x10 57.5x10 57.5x10 3 sets abs Felt horrible warming up, wasn't keeping it close at all and was smashing it with my hips. Sorted itself out once I got to 70 though. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Back squats 112.5x6 112.5x6 112.5x6 All I had time for today as had to go to airport to meet gf. The sets were fairly hard, probably would have squeezed out the 6 sets if I'd had the time. No time to stretch afterwards. Reduced training over next few weeks whilst gf is here. Will just focus on squats when I do get the chance to go. | ||

Back to proper training now, legs very weak. Got some protein and omega 3 brought over to me from England though, so hopefully that will help a bit. 98kg BW Front squats 85x6 85x6 85x6 85x6 85x6 85x6 RDLs 85x10 85x10 85x10 Incline DBs 25x10 25x10 25x10 3 sets of abs | ||

If you have already mentioned them and I have missed it then I apologize... No worries. Training PBs: Snatch - 95 (last May) C&J - 111 (~last Feb I think) Comp PBs: Snatch - 88 (April) C&J - 110 (December 2014 lol) Here's the 95 snatch and my best front squat to date (125) in case you're interested. Today's session: 97kg BW Snatch Failed 65 on the warmup, technique was a bit crap today. Out of practice. 70x2 70x2 70x2 70x2 didn't fail any but I chased quite a few of them around, kept leaving them forward. Not bad considering though. Snatch pulls 85x3 85x3 85x3 | ||
