cj 135 clean and 5 jerks working on your weakness is it good to see if so same problem i had as a teenager put weight on round my middle (too much now) but it helped my stability.

Thanks guys, it was a case of trying to salvage something from what was turning out to be a crappy session

The 135 x5 jerk got me a mild bollocking off Alan as i wasn't supposed to do it as he had planned for me to get the 140 power clean, the 5 jerks took the edge off me so the 140 wasnt to be. Alan does like to bollock people Grin

Bumper day today:

New supply of chalk arrives for Adders, should keep us going for a while. Thanks to all those who contributed to the fund

New camera arrives, following the demise of the old one under a weight. Sony Cybershot as recommended by Boar

Took the lifting shoes to the cobblers to get another 1/4 inch on the heel. Alan reckons i need it, here's hoping it helps!!! Cobbler did a damn fine job, in quick speed time and all for £5.99. Good man!!!

I think I may need a bit added to my heels. Do you just take it to any cobblers and ask?

Bit of pot luck really Jon, they'll either know exactly what you want (if you're lucky) or look at you in puzzlement and tell you it will ruin the line of the shoe (I kid you not), or ask if they are an orthopaedic shoe and if you have hip problems or some such s**t. Today i struck lucky and got a geezer who twigged right away and did an excellent job.

There is a lot to be said for a little extra heel, surprising how much of a difference it can make

Thanks for the replies guys.

Would you recommend a quarter of an inch as a first addition?

My Ironworks have a flat sole, so I want someone who knows what to do ideally. Where did you go Jeff?

Jonny - had mine done at a small cobblers near work. To be honest any cobbler can do it, it's just a pain in the arse explaining to them what you want etc. Once the penny has dropped it's only a matter of sticking the extra heel on. 1/4 inch as a start sounds about right
