awsome job burky !!

bummer about the stones..lifting them in the cold outside can be a nightmare , but a top 10 is ace !!

on a side note, how many deads do you think you could have got ?

500.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq		@ Bryce

Cheers mate, will have a look at the events for the ants, its a heavy old comp.

@ Boar

Thanks for all your support pal, just couldnt get a grip on the stone, just kept on sliding off. think i was something like 4th or 6th going into the last event so i could have got a trophy. hey ho.

With the deads difficult to say, think 2 wouldnt have been too much of a problem.

@ Riain

Cheers mate, not sure about dark horse though Happy

Cheers mate, no secret, just the fear of looking a t**t in front of a lot of people ha ha! Got 4 reps on the deads mate, the plan was to save something for the later events. Final position was 10th, stones really messed things up for me.

500.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq		Thursday 24th

Cleans:
40Kg, 1-1-1
60Kg, 1-1-1-1
80Kg, 1-1-1
40Kg, 1-1
60Kg, 1
80Kg, 1
90Kg, 1
100Kg, 1
110Kg, F-F
100Kg, F
90Kg, 1- Clean and Hang power clean

Olympic squat:
60Kg, 3
90Kg, 3
110Kg, 3
120Kg, 3

Probably too many build up sets. 100Kg was fine, first fail at 110 hips too high, shoulders too forward which pulled me forward. Probably tired so set up position was crap. 110Kg will go next week.

Played around with Olympic squats and they are definately a keeper. At the bottom of the clean my torso position is forward and not upright. i hope squatting this way will help with this.

500.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq		Cheers Boar, just happy with any kind of progress. Hoping pressing x3 a week a la Kev will help some.

Rodger, I've forced myself to look at the vid, was really disappointed at the time as i was feeling fresh before hand. The mat was wet, so the stone maybe was as well? Just kept on slipping out, couldnt even lap it. not going to dwell on it as it was the same for 50% of the competitors.

Just need a good stones sesh under by belt next week Grin

500.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq		Monday 28 March

OH Press (Power clean to rack):
40Kg: 5-5
50Kg: 3-3
65Kg: 3-3-3-3

Clean:
70Kg: 1-1
80Kg: 1
90Kg: F-1-1-1-1-1

2 Position clean (floor and mid-thigh):
70Kg: 1-1-1-1-1

Recovery position on clean should be a little wider, torso position still too far forward. 3rd pull seems OK. Important not to miss too many attempts.


Still trying to plan my training sessions. General thoughts on weekly training:

1. Press 3 times and log at least once
2. Boar's kettlebell class (when the missus isnt at ante-natal yoga...)
3. One dedicated squat session
4. Deadlift twice
5. One full clean and one power clean session (Oly bar or axle)

Not sure what this will end up looking like and will probably change...
