 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Sunday 18 march 2012 British Masters Championships Pretty poo really.. Down to lift in the 105's. Morning weigh-in in the bathroom 106.5. So no breakfast for me this morning. Weighed in: 104.9  Snatch Warm up for snatch went ok, did 90 three times as misjudged how long before my first attempt, and still ended up waiting 10-15 minutes before i went out, which wasnt ideal.. 1st - 95 Pass 2nd - 100 Fail (flew up but didnt fix!!) 3rd - 100 as above Nob Clean and Jerk Warm up was okey dokey, all nice and snappy.. 1st - 120 Pass. Easy as peas, nice lift 2nd - 125 Fail. nice clean, then left knee popped on the drive for the jerk and went west from there. Limped off, but decided i was man enough to shake it off?? 3rd - 130 Fail. Lovely clean, piece of piss in fact. Stood nice but head went as felt like something bad was going to happen with the left knee on the jerk, so dumped it.. Crap performance, and the knee that has been niggling me let me down. Ashamed to say, i still took the title as for the first time in memory i was lifting unopposed.. Positives to take was how easy the 130 clean was (bad knee or not), and had the knee not been poo the jerk would have flown up.. Ah well. Give the knee time to recover and then back to it. I've still got a 300lb clean and jerk to do again before i call it a day.. | ||

What is the next one? What did Tommy Yule lift? Northern Seniors in April is the next one, but I wont be doing it. Bit of time to heal the knees is needed, so may not lift again now until October, unless I find a friendly to lift in in the Summer or something. Had to leave before Tommy lifted, but i think he was down to start at 130 snatch.. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Done nothing but rest the knee this week. After a bit of reading on the Internet my self diagnosis is quadricep tendonitis, which is a lot better than it could have been. Confident it isn't a tear which is good. A bit more rest and plenty of quadricep and IT band stretches and I'm hoping I'll be good to go. The Stretches need to stay on the menu indefinitely to protect against a recurrence so am hoping to have a decent run the rest of the year. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Still trying to rest the knee. Trained once last week, did some snatch pulls from blocks up to 130 and then back down for more height. Trained again today and probably did a little more than i should have done. Clean from Blocks just below knee 60 x2 60 x2 60 x2 100 x1 Power Clean 80 x5 80 x5 90 x5 Clean Pull from Blocks just below knee 130 x3 130 x3 130 x3 Clean Pull stood on 2inch block 130 x3 130 x3 150 x3 130 x3 100 x3 100 x3 Left knee was grumbling, not as much as before but I have done pretty much ball all except rest and stretches so it should feel better. Not particularly happy.. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Wednesday 04 April 2012 Another nothing session, still no squattage  Snatch from Blocks (on the knee) 40 x3 40 x3 40 x3 60 x3 60 x3 70 x2 80 x2 80 x2 Power snatch 60 x5 Feeling the lack of squatting, and the lack of protein shakes and the lack of creatine.. Left knee still gripey!! Snatch Pull from Blocks (on the knee) 100 x3 110 x3 120 x3 120 x3 From the floor stood on a 2inch block 100 x3 110 x3 120 x3 100 x3 Few presses and upright rows. Nice to be training again, but not 100% just yet. Need to get some more protein and creatine, and start back on the anti-inflams. Hopefully another week or so and the left knee will be better.. | ||
