Oh how cool! my journal now has a pic. No idea where or how it got there but i like it!

Thats goal no.1 down!

Good session considering i was out till very early and only got about 4 hours sleep + had a few beers last night, yep you read that right littler Beers - next stop Guinness. It will go down as one of the best evenings yet i think!

Decided to lift today despite yesterdays OH work. I cant get to the gym tomorrow so i though i should do it now!

Not the best session to say the least, probably should have done cleans but snatches were the flavor of the day, i could not resist!

Snatch
40x2
40x2
50x2 - 1 of which was a power snatch
50x2 - 1 of which was a power snatch
55x1
60xf - and the s**t begins
60xf
60x1
60x1 power
65x1 power
65xf
65x1 power
50x1 - made sure i went deep as i was not on most of the other sets.
70xf - not a chance!!!

Hang snatch
50x3
50x1 - crap!

called it a day there. The snatches sucked, i was not dropping under the bar like a had been previously when doing the hang snatches. Meh..... just need more practice!

Then did

OL GM's
60x10
60x12
60x12
60x12
60x12

easy - more a prehab exercise than anything today.

Some rows and that was it

hmmmm.......



I dont know much, i learn through experience, but not to worry about anything but lifting while somebody else does the thinking for you, is the best way to go for me.
I find the snatch requires more attention than the clean on the whole, it may be a personal thing though. The roughlines you've been given look good to me.


Thanks man!

I actually quite liked the routine in here http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/article-olympic-lifting.aspx but not the rep ranges!

anyhoo i'll continue to take things as they come!

Also i lied to you Mish - i actually weigh 84.5kg nekkid in the am.


Right today - not feeling to clever after last nights antics but got alot better as the day went on!

OH today

Strict BB OHP
- warmups
20x8
30x8
40x6
50x5

- working (well i was aiming for 5x4 with 60kg this week, last week i achieved 5x3 with 60kg and it was very tough)
60x3 - f**k
60x4 - more like it
60x4
60x4
60x4
60x3 - added in this set as i wanted 5x4 and thought i could but it was not to be.

The 4th rep on each of those sets were absolute grinders took ages to get them up.

then did some 1 arm db OHP

DB rows

needless to say i couldnt get to the gym with a platform.

What's your height/weight like these days? Cant find it anywhere, plus i had to use the bulls**tfilter feature which is to me the proof your training log aims at the right direction.
Training looks great to me!


Hey man! lol, i've started how i mean to continue!

My height is just under 6' and im currently weighing in at around 87/88kg. Ive been around this weight for a while now, a few more nights on the bells should see this creeping up i imagine - which is exactly whats planned for tonight!

http://www.firstfoot.com/geneolagy/images/bells_bottle.jpg

Also just to add i was given a program by the dude who owns the gym i go to, which is pretty cool - but i feel like a reformed man taking things as they come in the gym.

its basically

snatch focus + assistance

clean and jerk focus + assistance

singles in both OL lifts

hmmmm.......

Seriously nice deadlifting man!

200kg will be a great milestone!

The only thing a would say about the diet is the big gap between the 3:30 meal and 9:00 meal. Your putting a way a decent amount of food at each sitting but the 9:00am meal seems a bit light!

It may not be the near miss you first thought Tom. There are two Adlingtons around the greater Manchester area. One is south side (not far from Stockport, I believe), but the REAL one is almost in Chorley about 20 miles west of Manchester off the M61.

So near yet so far. Dont worry though. We'll have you somedayWink


Ah i did not realise there was 2, i was looking at the right one though. I'll be heading home to Scotland straight after so i would be heading up the M61 before i join the M6.

One day Happy

OK You dont have a brilliant lockout. You know that. Is it a showstopper? No. Will it make OL more difficult for you? Yes. You have a weakness and weaknesses can be strengthened. Plenty of pressing, standing, incline, bench, partial lockouts. Anything. All of them.
Also you're taking the bar out of the racks like its a heavy weight. When you take the bar out of the racks even with light weights do it like its a small weight. Get your chest up, shoulders out and drop your elbows a bit (for jerking only, you cleans are fine).
Have a look at the last vid from Adders(Friday) and see how strong Wiggers takes the bar out of the racks. Thats what you want to be doing.Wink


Thanks man!

Appreciate the advice! I shall be working on it!

To




Right after not being able to get to the gym with a platform for a while due to transport i went today for a quickie.

» Wanna-be lemon fresh (Go to post)29-06-2008 @ 22:26 
Again today i could not get to the gym with a platform so did some OH work - which i a big weakness of mine

STRICT BB OHP
- warm ups
- 20x8
- 30x6
- 40x5
- 50x5

- working sets
- 60x3
- 60x3
- 60x3
- 60x3
- 60x3

I will use this as a baseline to improve upon. I not sure whether to stick to 5x3 and increase the weight or to try and get to 5x4 with 60kg next week then 5x5 the next. Then go back to 5x3 with more weight?

Any ideas?

Also when doing the triples i noticed im strong off the shoulders then i seriously struggle once the bar gets to about forhead height then again at lockout as rusev said!


Then did some DB pressing and external rotations

meh...
