Family commitments mean i can't get to Adlington today so have to settle for a quick one stolen in the garage as Mrs Wigan starts the wrapping!!!

Deadlift
70 x5
110 x3
150 x3
170 x3
195 x3
215 x1
Called it quits, lower back was feeling pumped early on

Front Squat token gesture really, more about getting the movement in
70 x3 x3
100 x5
120 x5
Call it quits again

Press behind neck 5x5
Db front raise 3x10
Db side raise 3x10
Db curl 3x10

And that was that, 4 hours of present wrapping then ensued, interspersed with Vodka and Wigan style sex!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

It was Mrs W's number, i put it on her phone in case of emergencies when i'm at Adders etc. She thought it would be funny to send you the pic, good girl she is, she is very proud!!!

She sent the 2nd one a bit later I said to Shal "f**k me this Guinness is hitting the spot tonight". Then she explained my error and I almost felt quite foolish. Luckily we both saw the funny side and laughed. If Matrix were there, he would of laughed too.

Been up the wall with the flu the last week or so and it still has a hold of me, added to that a dirty Frenchman has taken residence in my throat the last week. Spent last night coughing and choking my guts up enough so that i dont make it in to work today.

A day of sleep and feeling sorry for myself and i make the effort to get to the gym, sounds of Ste Turner ringing in my ears "Dont be so soft, just get on with it, Yaaarrrr!!!"

Manage to get to Adders still alive and feeling surprisingly perky(ish)

Squat
70 x5 x2
115 x5
145 x5
160 x5
175 x5
190 x5
175 x5

Snatch Pull
90 x3
110 x3
120 x3
130 x3
140 x3 x3

Push Press (behind neck)
70 x3
90 x3
110 x3 rough, timing all over the place
120 x3F just no timing there at all
110 x1+F+2 nob
110 x3 not much better
110 x3 as above
110 x5 timing suddenly kicks in and i could have done them all night, just proving what a nob i really am!!!

End of another year, I can't express just how much i have enjoyed my training this year. Despite the odd niggle (knees and wrist) i have made some real progress on my way back. When i first went to Adders i had been doing a few bits and pieces for a month or so and was capable at the time of about 95k snatch and 125 clean and jerk. 18 months later and that now reads 120k sntch and a 155 C&J in the bag with lots more to come.

Adlington is the place to be!!!

Adlington = Alan, Atmosphere, And the boys!!!!

Cheers, fellas, for a top year, roll on '08!!!!

Kids are still off school, I'm off with them, Mrs W is in work and won't be home till gone 5, so no Adders tonight. Clean pulls in the garage it is then!!!!

17:00 - Trusty heater goes on in the garage!!
17:20 - Mrs W arrives home
17:25 - Wigan gets changed
17:30 - Wigan realises he has left his straps at Adders!!! DOH!! No pulls tonight then!!!
17:32 - Down to the now relatively warm garage
17:35 - Wigan ponders what the heck to do as he has no straps!!!!Confused
17:35 - Wigan starts to warm-up and see where it takes him!!!
17:45 - Wigan has a plan!!

Squat Clean from Hang
50 x3
50 x3
50 x3
70 x3
90 x3
100 x3
110 x3
Fairly pleasing, not cleaned for a month or so. Wrist was fine, knees were dandy, and considering i was training on a postage stamp in the garage they weren't too bad!!
Grip is a bit frazzled, left thumb is all hook-gripped out and lower back is pumped, gay stuff it is then!!!

Bent over row - 90 x8 x4
Db front raise - 3x10
Db Side raise - 3x10

That will do, not loads but a lot of positives from it. Roll on Friday for a real session!!!!Grin

Dont know if it's any use to you Jeff, but I plan on the following for a while
Mon C&J F sqt
Wed Snatch
Fri jerk

Obviously there's pulls, presses and backies to bang in there too, but its a frame of a plan
