Nice one on the comeback PB clean and jerk Jeff, getting closer all the time to your all time PBs.

Cheers Millsy, the 162 wasnt pretty, in fact it was probably the worst lift i've done for months so not really happy with it to be honest, but on the plus side i can smell 170 now so can't complain Grin

Rick - The back is very stiff and achy today. I suspect i over hyper-extended it on the recovery on the 162 jerk which has sent it into spasm sort of thing. No doubt it will clear itself up within a day or two (fingers crossed), thanks for asking Wink

Been hammering the nurofen for the stiff back, seems to have improved a lot. Plan for tonight, mess about loosen the back off and have a bash at a big one again on Wednesday.

Clean and Jerk
Grip has gone out an inch (at least) either side..
Bar x loads (back feels ok)
50 x2
50 x2
50 x2
70 x1
90 x1
110 x1
120 x1
130 x1 the plan of messing about seems in danger
140 x1
150 x1 clean was nice jerk a bit ragged
160 x1 clean only, nowt left for the jerk
Silly really, should have stuck to the plan as top end i was still tired from Saturday!! Angry

Drop down

Power Clean and Power Jerk
90 x1
110 x1
120 x1
130 x1
140 xF silly bas***d missed the clean!! WTF
140 x1 PB power jerk (since i came back)

Bench Press
70 x1 ou-f**king-ch!!! Shoulder says f**k right off!!!
Rick steps in and gives me some coaching on how to limit shoulder involvement.
70 x5
70 x5
70 x5
70 x5
Shoulder hurt progressively less each set, cheers Rick Grin I will possibly do these once a week and gently move the weight up as long as the shoulder agrees. The next Adders do is rumoured to be Clean and Press and Bench Press!!!

Lesson for the night:- should have stuck with the plan, another day or two rest and i would've been up for a big one on Wednesday!!!!

Return of the Snatch. Not done them for an eternity so time for a play, will the wrist hold up, how will the shoulder be???

Snatch
Bar x loads shoulder is stiff and achy but is getting better and not as bad as i thought it'd be
50 x3
50 x2
70 x1
90 x1
110 x1
120 x1
130 xF
130 xF
130 xf
130 xF
All the 130's were up and held for a fraction before coming back down, it would have been a 10k PB and the 4th was the closest of them all so looks like plenty of strength there. All in all very pleasing!!

Wrist OK (although a bit sore now) - Shoulder fine!! Grin

Power Snatch
90 x1
100 x1
110 xF oops
110 x1 PB Grin salvaged something Grin

Cant complain, the 120 snatch equalled as much as i've done since i came back and all the 130's were all but done.

Few D/b curls, lots of bollox talking, Joe is a t**t, and that was about it!!!

Exceptional session tonight Jeff, really impressive stuff - you're throwing that 130 around like it's nothing, and considering how little snatching you've done lately it's not all that surprising that you're having trouble just finishing on a top weight.

Absolute pleasure to help out a little on the bench - it's fun to see it go from "this feels REALLY UNNATURAL" to "that's MUCH better" in a couple of sets Happy - and it's about the only way I'll ever be able to pay back a tiny bit of the coaching you've given me on snatches, cleans and presses!

Cheers Rick, i did enjoy the snatches tonight!!

As for the coaching, i'm sure i will be calling on your expertise again. If the shoulder continues to respond i wouldnt mind making them a regular thing and see if i can get up to something nearing respectable Grin

Very nice snatching... featured journal kiss of death my arse Wink ... Millsy is the only person who has ever let the team down. It did coincide with the month he realised he was bald and old though, so I guess it was bad timing.

Top snatching tonight Jeff - so close with the 130's! Next time definitely.

Rob - I let the side down deliberately because I hate you. I hate you because you've got more hair than me, bigger lats than me and bigger quads than me. Unhappy
