Clean and Jerk Bar x considerable amount 60 x1+2 60 x1+2 60 x1+2 80 x1 100 x1 110 x1 120 x1 120 x1 120 x1 100 x1(pwr cln)+ 5 jerks Al bo***cks me for moving so nice ?? 100 x1(pwr cln)+ 5 jerks. Al says 110 would be nice.. 110 x1(pwr cln)+ 5 jerks. Just as snappy as the 100's, another bollocking. Alan has a minute then gives me another bollocking and says if I cant powerclean 120 then I'm a t**t. I agree and say he's probably right, not realising he means now FFS.. 120 x1 (pulled in as a pwr cln but pushed down to a high squat clean  )120 x1 reasonable power clean. Al is reasonably content, for a minute or two then.. Get another bollocking off Al for not pulling like that on my squat cleans earlier. Front Squat 60 x5 80 x3 100 x2 120 x2 130 x2 140 x2 120 x5 last two with a dead stop. Incline Smith machine for a bit of BB Off home, enjoyed tonight. Moving ok, knees are a bit happier now that back squats have been dropped, but i can feel a drop in actual leg strength, although the front squats are meaning I'm feeling more up for the jerks even if the recovery from the clean isnt super fast. Good to see Al back on top form, he is firing on all cylinders again after his op  | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Friday 24 February 2012 Tonight I attempted to snatch, however, my spastic right wrist had other ideas. I tweeked it slightly on the 110 power clean on Wednesday so today it objected to snatching and hence I was poo.. Snatch Lots of pain, some snatches up to 90 and then a few misses at 95 and lots more pain.. Pissed off now!! Snatch Pull light and high 110 x3,x3,x3,x3 from above knee (extremely high) 80 x3,x3,x3 60 x3 super high Did some messing about with dumbells, bit of a challenge by Al. Pick one dumbell up and hold it over head, reach down and pick up the other dumbell from the floor and put it over head with the other one (which remains there throughout) 18k pair 50lb pair 55lb pair One 70lb (held over head) one 55lb picked up from floor. Trickier than you think, good fun for a change. Al reckons to be decent you need to put 240-260lb over head between the two dumbells. Press Behind neck 40x10 50 x8,x8,x8 Upright Row 40 x8,x8,x8 Not a happy Manfred tonight, but wrist will be ok next week and then normal business will resume. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Monday 27 February 2012 Two nights of not so great sleep due to a child with a stomach bug, not a great start.. Right wrist is still a bit grumbly, and knees are a tad tender. Excuses out of the way, read on for a s**t session.. Clean and Jerk bar x lots 60 x1+3 60 x1+3 60 x1+3 80 x1+3 100 x1+2 (pwr cln) 110 x1 120 x1 125 xF reasonable clean, lost concentration on jerk 125 x1 piece of piss 125 xF ok clean, went dizzy and fcuked up jerk 125 xF ok clean, went dizzy and dumped it 125 xF ok clean, lost focus on jerk 120 x1 easy as peas FFS Head just not 100% on it.. Jerk from Racks token gesture for being poo 70 x3 100 x1 110 x1 120 x1 125 x1 Clean Pull 110 x3 140 x3 160 x3 160 x3 140 x3 140 x3 140 x3 Bench Press 5's and 8's Right wrist grumbled on theses which isnt a good sign for Wednesday's snatches.. Cable crossovers Pec Dec The missed jerks tonight were just plain silly, not feeling tip top but no excuses. One good thing to take away was the 5 cleans with the 125 which were ok. Home | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Wednesday 29 February 2012 Knees feel like they are on the brink of having had enough, and with the British in a couple of weeks need to back off a bit and just do bits so that I lift at the British as pain free as possible. This approach waves goodbye to the thought of any big weights but I shall just try to console myself with 6 good lifts pain free and try to enjoy it. Snatch 40 x1,x1,x1,x1 60 x1,x1 70 x1 75 x1 80 x1 85 x1 90 x1 95 x1 All were super snappy and pretty much bob on, as they should be with these poor weights. Wrist was painful as usual but bearable so not too bad. Will go up to 100 next week and then aim for a 105 at the British.. Front Squat 60 x5 80 x3 100 x3 120 x2 130 x2 135 x2 140 x2 120 x5 last two with a dead stop Press just for BB 60 x8 70 x5,x5,x5 60 x8 Not too bad all things considering. After last Friday's abortion of a session on snatches was a bit wary coming into this tonight but all went ok.. | ||

Absolutely loving it and it seems to be working. Did 4x2 (yes I added a set)this week with a weight I missed a single double on 4 weeks ago. Cheers. Glad it's working for you mate. I've been dropping in your journal now and again to see how you've been doing and noticed the extra set here and there. Good work mate keep it up | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6051 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Got to say, Al sounds like a top chap! He reminds me of Dave Dargve at Bradford uni. He's never been happy with one of my lifts in 6-years! Hope the knees are in tip top form for the British. | ||

What are the age, weight classes, same or different to powerlifting?? D Hello mate. If you're thinking of trying a comp, I'd say go for it mate. There are a lot of novice lifters new to the scene at the moment, and a fair few in the Masters. Master weightlifting differs to powerlifting in that it starts at 35 and goes up in 5 year steps. Weight classes are pretty much same as powerlifting (as powerlifting recently changed) although weightlifting doesnt have 120 and 120+ classes, our superheavies are just 105+. Where are you based? | ||
