Wanna-be lemon fresh

OMG i am so sore after the sprints last night! i can hardly walk!

probably a bad idea to to squat......it shows!

fronties
barxlots
40x10
50x5
60x5
70x5
80x5
90x2 - legs died on me.

Cleans (propa' full cleans)
80x2
80x2
80x2
80x2
80x2

snatch pulls
80x2
80x2

then did some GM's with 80kg for sets of 12 and band pull throughs.

not the best...

I seriously need to get my front squat up - it cant be good when you can power clean more than you full clean.

Lifting is legs mate, as the old saying goes. Get banging those squats out mate!!

Jeff's spot on mate. You've got to turn on the dark side of the Force in the fronts!
Maybe you could concider taking it easy on the pwrcleans, and build more power in squats and pulls, feed and build the engine, so that you can drive slow with a fast car. Then make a (full) squat clean & jerk session exactly that; a powerclean sesh what it is only, not too tough but tough enough.

Cheers guys!

Bit of s**t news though -

ive badly pulled something on the inside of my leg - could be my groin, its up top. Walkings even painful! Really pissed off. I cant really bend down at all.

so that'll put operation front squat on hold.

Also yesterday i lost my wallet


Start work in Manch on Monday so i'll hopefully see some of you soon! If i move in early enough i'll try and come to watch the comp!

Tom

Leg/groin what ever it is is still pooped. Im thinking a may be able to do some jerks soon, until then it will have to be strict OH work.

Maybe some "horizontal lying ohp" and gay stuff too!

Bad news about the leg injury mate, hopefully it will heal soon.

Do yourself a favour and if there is any way possible get yourself to Adlington on Saturday, i have a feeling there will be some top drawer lifting going on, would be a crying shame if you miss it!!

Hi mate!

its been confirmed as a groin sprain on both bloody legs! can hardly bend down atm.

Not at all happy

I really will try to get there, it would be great!

All the best

Tom

hooray, at last! 3 weeks ago i could only just about manage 5x3 with 60kg so im pleased with that progress! all the sets were easy today!

Then did some isometrics at forehead height where i usually get stuck


plenty of gay stuff afterwards.

Groin is pretty bad. Moving to Manchester tomorrow!!!!!

Hi guys!

sorry i could not make it on sat! fel like i really missed out

I did not manage to leave home till 9am as i was out the night before so there was no way i was getting there in time.

Currently posting this from my local mcdonalds as it has wifi - our flat has no internet sorted yet!

Groin is feeling better! i managed a light job across the road today after work to avoid being run down.

Im off now to try and finds vids of saturdays lifts and catch up before they kick me out of here! lol.

Well i joined a new gym yesterday which is around a 20s walk from work - its in the same building in fact.

Its def not really designed for OL lifting but its the only gym in stockport i visited that actually has a power cage and olympic size bb.

Groin is still a bit dodgey but its def improved!

Mission front squat will commence once the groin is good to go. I found i could do GM's with little pain the other day but when i tried a squat is said a big hell no.


So last night (this is al from memory as once again im surfing from the mcdonalds near us)

Snatch grip pull from blocks

Then did some rows

These and the hang cleans were really just to test the groin which was ok. Thing is its very much a health club type place so no chalk which made grip a real prblem as the bar got really slippy.

Hopefully i'll manage to get to adders soon - there is a bank holiday monday in a few weeks which would be ideal.

Alan butted him for not listening

That was a joke BTW

It's all gone quiet mate, hope the injuries havent put paid to your training all together!!!
