As mentioned this week is going to involve some rest and recover, keeping most things nice and light, apart from a cheap P.B. tonight, beltless deficit DL


And PB front squat, and 210kg btn jerk, and 160 easy log!

That's a light, restful recovery week from Ben K everyone Grin
Amazing stuff, the log was super easy from the looks of it

Pretty happy with the jerks, don't do them very often so timing felt a little off. Room for improvment.

Any plans to compete this year? (in any sport)

The numbers are no different to your own!

160 is my PR on log, my cleans need a little work but I'm good for 165-170 I'd imagine.

Ha, as crazy as it sounds I find PB's much easier than 'normal' training sessions. A 1RM take's much less out of me than 5 sets of 5.

Log felt good, my pressing has improved a lot with the extra body weight.

A solid block of awesome sounds much better than fat, so I'll go with that!
