Cheers man, I've seen a few people have some good results with this on here and I'm useless at structuring my training myself so I thought I'd give it a go. It's only 10-weeks after all. Snatch 40 x4 50 x2 65 x2 80 x1 85 3+3+2 - decided to try using the snatch element from the QWA 3/week intermediate programme. No idea if it'll improve my snatch without all the hang, power snatches and pulls but we'll see. These were nice and easy, felt really sharp and had good positions. Strict Press 40 x5 60 x3 75 x2 82.5 2x2 - felt hard. I'm going to ease off on these until I do the Coan/Philippi programme but for shoulders starting in about 3-weeks. Hopefully, I'll have gotten use to the volume of shoulder involvement from benching, pressing and jerking  Push Press 82.5 4x3r - these felt like I had just the right amount of leg drive so as not to jerk the weight but take some of the sting out of it Back Squat 80 x8 120 x5 150 3x8r - these felt harder than the 2 sets with 160 the other week. Think I'm going have to start concentrating on my recovery a bit more. Pulldowns 8,6,4 - slow controlled movement and held the bottom position to try and activate my lower traps (apparently they're pretty weak! :confused  Home - plenty of foam rolling on the hips and IT band. I want to know if this ever stops hurting cos it's bloody painful | ||

Best of luck with the dead routine, worked a treat for me and i'm running it again now for a 2nd cycle, hoping to edge closer to a 600lb pull! Nice events session there too mate, you'll learn loads there, could do with some of that myself! | ||

I saw your gains from it and that just kinda cemented the fact that should give it a try. I did learn loads on the events session, the main thing being that my bar strength didn't seem to count for a massive amount with these strange shaped objects. I just wish I could train the events a bit more than every 3-4 weeks, but such is life  | ||

Yeah event stuff is an eye opener if your used to just an oly bar, i've been struggling with axle continental cleans - i think i've finally got the hang of it! Log pressing is also a tough one to get used to as it throws you off of balance. Best of luck with it all mate. | ||

Nice work! Cheers Beigey, I've not heard anyone say a bad thing about the routine so I'm expecting a least some gains. I've aimed to go from 235kg to 250kg so hopefully haven't pushed the envelope too far. Tonights bit! Call me daft, but I've been looking at the northern u90's qualifier and thinking it looks tempting....certainly not being able to do anything but lift the weights and not bomb on ever event. Soooooo, decided to do some c&j's against the clock! c&j 40 2x4r 60 x3 80 x2 95 x2 95 x4 - 60 seconds 95 x5 - 60 seconds - thought I had 105 on bar for both of the timed sets!!!  95 x1 - continental clean - first ever. It was on an oly bar, but even so 95 x AAarrgghhhh - tried a continental and pinched all my flab against the belt. Talk about bloody painful! Milsy's told me "you get used to it"...yeah right! 105 x4 - 60 seconds - better do this seeing as I though the 95 was 105. Possibly could have managed 5 if it wasn't for the bumper plates bouncing all over the place Front Squat 60 x3 90 x3 120 x3 140 3x2r - these felt pretty heavy after all the clean and jerks. Bent over row - underhand grip 60 x8 80 x6 90 3x6r 90 x8 - changed to an underhand grip to help warm the biceps up a bit more for curls Alternate d/bell curls 15 x8 25 3x5r Plenty more foam rolling over the weekend! | ||

In fact you might find you get a touch more than you plan to. Another solid session nonetheless, nice C&Js. Never done anything like that against the clock myself. I might have to on Sunday now LOL | ||

The timed C&J's were good fun, but 60's didn't seem very long at all. Then again, I was still blowing out of my arse afterwards so I don't think I'd have coped with 90 seconds. Maybe a bit of fitness work is in order! | ||

Think i got my form down last week, i had the gut pinching problem too for a while, now i just try and pull it right up to chest to avoid it before flipping hands under for the press. Now all i need to learn is the split jerk, at the moment i can push press more, struggle more than i should with jerks. Nice session by the way mate. | ||

Cheers Oxman and NO it wasn't fun! Lol Milsy told me to pull the bar higher up to avoid that happening, so fingers crossed I'll not give myself too many more 'love bites' on my belly.....the missus might start asking questions! On a side note, I did a couple of hitler cleans after watching Fred Hicks video. They were nice but I'm not sure what the Polish lads in the gym thought about them. I was getting some very funny looks | ||
