Yeah, good hard work. Nowt wrong with that Jeff, it's good to see.

I must say, your pressing has been looking very strong recently despite your shoulder troubles.

There was a spell when me and LittleA trained twice a day 6 days a week, heavy snatches or jerks in the morning, with front squats, and then snatch or jerks in the afternoon with back squats, it was very very hard work but we made good gains from it. suffice to say neither of us was working at the time so there was plenty of time for rest in between sessions and of course we were young so had the magical recovery powers of youth. This was only for maybe 6 weeks at a time, the majority of the time we would train 5 nights a week and probably a light(ish) one on a Sunday morning. I wouldn't my pace of training is any slower now than when i was 20, if it is just me and Andy on a bar it is a case of one off one on, bang bang, no messing and you can fly through a session.

Three times a week is plenty for me now, the recovery just isnt there to do any more without risking knee, elbow, wrist issues. Also the 'older' weightlifter will tend to concentrate more on the basics to build more strength rather than lots and lots of Oly movements.

My advice to you is to train how you feel, if you feel 5 nights a week is do-able then go for it, if 3 is more realistic then that's fine. Train how your body and your head tell you. Oh, and get your arse down to Adlington at some point so we can set Alan on you Grin

The only person who could see much wrong with you today was you, mate. Lifts were good apart from that one 150 where you'd switched off!

In my case like a broken machine Unhappy.

You need to put those two quality PBs on the board mate, at the moment the current column's only got me in it and that's not right.
