Snatches will return some time next week. A couple of months of heavy pulls and squats, and cleans and snatches from the hang no less.

i've had my annual bench workout, so that's that for another year. The man-boobs get neglected once more and with it more droopage will set in no doubt...

Mishima's last day at Adders to early finish to work in with him

Get to Adlington to find Mish well on his way in his workout, boy this lad is keen. He put in a good performance at the end of a long hard week for him. You've got to admire the man for a number of reasons.1) Who else has travelled so far for a session 2) The man is a maniac, really fast pace in his training 3) Keen, keen, keen, he is so f**king keen 4)He listens and does as he's told as everyone should 5) He can drink for a little fella (70k) 5) Genuine nice lad, and the list could go on. It's been a pleasure having him on board and i'm not alone in hoping he visits us again Grin

Anyhoo!!!

Our friend BarryBroadbent has sent us some serious gear, eleiko competition rubbers as well as some other quality weights, the man is a gent. Cheers Barry!!!

"What you doing tonight?" asks Alan

"A few power cleans i think Al" I reply

Power Clean
Bar x loads
"Whats your best power clean since you came back?" Asks Alan,
"137.5" and with that my workout is decided, nothing else said but we all knew what was now expected
60 x2 both full cleans
60 x2 as above
80 x2 as above
100 x2 one full one power
110 x1 power. "Are you not jerking them, you should never clean something and waste the opportunity to put it overhead!" says AL
"Andy just cleaned on Wendesday" i bravely (stupidly) reply
"Yeah but he's going f**king heavy..." bollocking continued for a spell Grin
120 x1 power clean + jerk
130 x1 as above
135 x1
140 xF failed power clean Angry
140 x1 PB "Nearly right" says Al..."It was a bit s**t" me says..."It wasn't as s**t as you think" is the reply (FFSGrin)
142.5 x1 PB power clean was a low as you can legitimately go and still call it a power clean but it counts Grin
"Right drop down and do 3 singles with, say 132.5K"
132.5 x1 "Not bad, but you've got 2 left you can do it better"
132.5 x1 "Better, just one more"
132.5 x1
"Right, drop down to 110 and just do 3 pwr cleans and one jerk to finish"
110 x3+1
"Just do it one more time with more speed"
110 x3+1
"Put 120 on for one last set, put a bit of pressure on you"
120 x3+1

And thankfully that really was it, i had 4 last sets but it did me good!!! Grin

This is what Alan does best, he bombards you with sets, combinations, multiple last sets, little changes in your set-up and before your know it, you've beat your PB twice in one night then done three drop-downs which when you work it out is 98% what your PB was when you walked in the door!!!! f**king great fun!!!

Walk to the pub for a couple of drinks with Mish then off home!!!!

100 x3
130 x3

Had to leave it at that as there are kids to be picked up!!

Left FatPete and Rick squatting like good 'uns, and Mark F warming up on deadlifts (310k warm-up??, 360 being loaded as i left), after looking good on his overhead work.

Nice run of PBs recently.

A 400lb behind the neck push press is some f**king going.
