**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Just back from a month off from injury that occurred playing rugby. I'm going to concentrate on my weightlifting over the summer and thought this would be a good way to track progress. If you're on Twitter I put a lot of this stuff on there already as @Rugby_LAD. Also, I hav created a Youtube account to post Videos of my PB's on as well (none on at time of writing as of yet) Current PB's Squat:120Kg Bench: 105Kg DL; 212.5Kg Front squat: 110Kg Overhead squat: 74Kg (3RM) Bent over row: 135Kg (4RM) Clean: 70Kg (Haven't tried to properly max yet though) Power Clean: (95Kg) Snatch: 55Kg | ||

**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Worked up to a 3RM for overhead squat starting at 50Kg then working through, 60Kg, 70Kg, 75Kg and finally to 80Kg. Trained clean as well just doing singles again, working through a similar progression but up to 85 Kg before deciding to train Jerk in the same manner working up to a 90Kg Jerk. | ||

**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Cheers mate, took me two attempts, stuck the landing on the first attempt and was stuck in an ugly muscle-out halfway up which, let's face it, isn't doing much for me technique-wise and probably will mess up my shoulder again. | ||

**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Another Jerk session to focus on technique this time 1 X 5: 50Kg, 4 X 6: 60Kg, 1 X 6: 50Kg. 2 X 15 strict press 30 Kg to strengthen shoulders. Then I did a 5/3/1 on zercher squat with 50Kg, 70Kg and fnally, 80Kg. just kept it short and sweet as tomorrow night is training with the weightlifting club so that will be a big one. | ||

**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Last night's session. Not in order just as I remember: 5X20 good mornings with just the bar 2X8 60Kg Good mornings Deadlift going up in 5's, then 3's after hitting 180Kg and then singles up to 205Kg. Stopped advancing due to losing the arch in my lower back. 5X6 50Kg Overhead press. A few sets of pullups About 5 or 6 singles of weighted pullups going up in weight up to 40Kg Hammer curls 1till failure 15Kg, 11.5Kg and 12Kg. | ||

**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | New PR's!!! I trained a bit of clean going up in 3's then 1's progressing from 50Kg to 90KG (PR). The catch at the bottom was ugly and Had to grind it out. Then trained clean. Similar progression training Jerk but going from 5's to 3's but in smaller increments. E.g 80Kg, to 84KG to 86Kg, to 87Kg to 90Kg to then go for a surprisingly well landed 95KG single. The I did a set of 6 push presses at 60KG and then attempted overhead sqaut. First, a set of 5 at 60KG then, an attempt at a single at 75KG. Failed at the bottom. Couldn't grind it out. Did a set of 4 reps at 70Kg as penance. | ||
| BaconWarrior | | 21/05/2012 - Epic max-out session. (one of the last ones till exams) | 22-05-2012 @ 11:29 |
**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Last night was brutal. 4 X 9 85Kg squat (yes I was doing smolov with a mate) Worked up to 55Kg stric press in singles then when I failed at 60Kg I switched to push press and hit 95 (working up in singles). Started working on hang-powerclean and jerk together in one movement after, started at 80, then progressed through to 90Kg, 95Kg, 97.5Kg 100Kg and finally hit a max of 102.5KG. Also did a few sets of pullups after and 90Kg hang-powercleans for reps (only got as high as 5. Also trained hammer curl doing 3-5 (depending on fatigue levels) reps each arm, working up through 15Kg, 17.5Kg and finally hitting 22.5Kg. Ouch. | ||

**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Also did 3 singles of 100Kg hang-powerclean and jerk to work on my explovisness. My technique needs work but the strength is there. Like almost all of my lifts really. | ||

**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Sorry for not updating in a while my faithful readers, moving out of term-time accommodation back home and having uni exams has f**ked my training a bit and when I have been training I've not had much time to write it down, I'll be back to training properly and documenting it properly again tomorrow. Enjoy a video of me hitting a PR for box clean in the meantime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8EPHQpqtp8 | ||

**INSERT BACON TAGLINE** Member 3502, 1009 posts SQ 240, BP 157.5, DL 275672.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Traning is still getting f**ked with by the rest of my life and when I've been working out it's been nothing amazing (Can't max out or squat at home and I've been training with mates when I've gone to gyms and they're into the whole aestheic thing. Idiots. Anyway I've been away in Morocco with the parents this week and I've been working out in the hotel gym every day on these odd machines (theres no free weights, f**k off) called Kinesis machines and they aren't bad, you have to be pretty creative to get a lot out of them but they're very worth it. Before I went off I was working a lot of weights complex work courtesy of T-nation for conditioning http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_traini... Not bad s**t if I'm honest. | ||
