s**t boring day at work, late finish so only get to Adlington gone 5. Place is packed, LittleA is just finishing off his snatches, the man has not been well and still isn't 100% and 130+ is still flying!!!

Snatches for me too, not done any proper snatches for a couple of months now don't don't expect much.

Snatch
40 x3 x3 timing all over the place, not pretty
60 x2 even less pretty
80 x2 ugly
90 x2 WTF
100 x2F just not moving
100 x2 marginally better
100 x2 best set of the night, last one bob on. Still not feeling good though. Moving sluggish and timing all over the place, ah well. First session back on them should be the hardest, onwards and upwards!!

Snatch Pull
120 x3
120 x3
130 x2
140 x2
150 x2
150 x2
140 x2
130 x2
120 x2
110 x2
Now i'm f**ked!! Movement on these pretty much the same as the snatch, not snappy enough, not enough speed!!

Db bent over row 3x10

No time or energy for anyhting else, i'm spent!!

Off home but only after successfully negotiating the Adlington puddle!!
Grin Grin

Arrive home with dry feet!!!

We should of lapped the car park another 3 times and if we still had dry feet we could of claimed it as a 4 rep PB. They are a propper number for a real set you know. Honest!

Last set of 100's were vintage 'Jeff-heaven'. Not in a piss take way, it was nice to see you struggling with the same thing as me. Makes me think it's more our stage of a build up rather than anything more sinister.

4 rep pb could've gone on the board too!!!

hopefully the sluggish performance last night is still the after effects of the bug / cold / frenchman i had. Still coughing up blobs of s**t but a little less each day so maybe it is finally going!!!

Jeff-Heaven!!!! LOL

Arrive at a packed Adlington, which seems to be the norm nowadays. 5x5 on front squat tonight, had a light one on back squats on Monday so no excuses tonight, progression from last week is required oh dear!!!

Front Squat
50 x5 x2
90 x5
115 x5
135 x5 wrist is feeling suprisingly ok
150 x5 actually felt like i was moving properly Grin
135 x5 as above

Pleased with these, improvement on last week and felt relatively good!!

Push Press (behind neck)
70 x3 x2
90 x3
110 x3
120 x2
120 x2 moving well
120 x4+F looking good until i missed No.5, to**er!!! Would have been a pb 5, but as everyone knows you can't have a pb 4!!!Unhappy

And with that i'm done, not really anything left in the tank these 5x5's take it out of you

tried some incline smith machine, shoulder screams no f**king way my son!!!

T-Bar row 3x10
Press machine 3x8
Ez Curl 4x8

Watched DrRick make some progress on his pwr clean, then blast up a 60k power snatch with little effort at the first ever attempt, and finish off hitting near perfect positions on clean grip front squats, good man!!!

Bit of bollox talking with LittleA, Rob and Rick and then off home it is!!!

Nice front squats and push presses Jeff!

No Jonny the pushies were from behind neck again tonight, quite like them so may stick with them for a while, i seemto be able to really concentrate on getting up on my toes at the top of the drive more from behind neck and Alan reckons the carry over to my jerks will be the same, which is good enough for me.
