To have a good session you guys need to get everything right, you are like the brain surgeons of strength training. The errors today were really difficult to see for someone like me and often i cant tell why you miss something and nail the same until Alan gives you a mild bollocking about some small sounding detail  Anyways, hope that the full house is not putting you guys off. Need to brush up on the etiquette and make sure folk are not moving in front and distracting when big lifts are about. | ||

You're right about everything needing to be just right, and sometimes its a really small thing, you know about it, you try to correct it, but it just doesn't happen  The platform etiquette was spot on Joni, no problems. it was nice to see the new platform getting used to its full potential | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Friday 25/01/08 Early dart early start, i've got a date with LittleA, and not one of them gay ones either Clean Bar x loads 60 x2 x3 100 x1 100 x1 120 x1 not moving quite right, feeling slow off the floor, not much pull 140 x1 150 x1 155 x1 not quite right tonight but all going up 145 x1 145 x1 145 x1 130 x1 power clean, nice one too, nice and high fast elbows 110 x3 power clean,now we're moving a bit but all a bit too late Movement wasn't anything like it should be, being sluggish off the floor and lacking pull made the receiving positions poo!! Legs feel weary after a long week, would have been easy to walk away from fronties and not bother, except for one thnig..... i'm training in with LittleA so that isn't even an option Front Squat 70 x5 110 x5 130 x5 Alan asks what i'm doing. "Fives I say", "No your not, i want you to drop the reps now and show me some PB's" 150 x3 What should i take next i asks Alan. "Whats the most you done?" - "175" - "Right then i want to see 3 with 170" 160 x3 170 x2 PB(actually a failed 3) Alan almost called it right, and i should have got the 3rd, so really he did On checking my old training book, 170x3 would have been an all time PB, shame i missed it Time to go home? No! Push Press-Behind Neck 70 x3 x2 100 x3 120 x2 125 x1 130 x1 PB There was more there too, but i've come to the end, i just can't be arsed Press Behind Neck 70 x5 80 x3 90 x3 90 x3 90 x3 T-Bar Row 3x10 Db curl 3x10, 1x8,1x6 Hammer Curl 3x10 A long fecking session, i was knackered half way through, it was hard work, but a lot of good things came out oif it, including 2 PB's so can't complain!! Bit of bollox talking with LittleA, Rick and Rob. Rick power snatching nicely, but with some gay type performance on lowering the bar each set Lots of good lifting tonight, LittleA hit it on the head when he said when you look around you realise you're part of something special, aint that the truth!!! Off home to my gorgeous wife and my spectacular kids.... life is good!!!! | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Joni - No, 400 wouldn't be an all time PB, i've previously done a 182.5 x2 and a 192.5 single, but they were 17 years ago LOL. I would like to get a 200k frontie this year, that would be nice Mish - cheers mate, no vid i'm afraid, my camera took a direct hit from a wayward lift the other day and is f**ked, so i'll need to sort a new one out | ||
