PAGAN said: John , I'm actually 5'11.5" but I'm not one of these sado's who claim 6' as if it's the holy grail of height  Spoken like someone who's actually 5'11" and has tried to claim 6' but just doesn't have what it takes. For shame! | |||

| Thanks John. Unfortunately that may be the most forward movement I'll be getting for a while. Emphasis is switching back to endurance and indoor rowing for the next several months. Still, I'm happy with my progress over just a few months and will try to stretch that out next year. Today: * handstand and handstand push-up practice * press: worked up to 65x3 and 75x1 (80xF, bo***cks) * For time: 12 deadlifts (100kg) 8 power cleans (50kg) 6 push-presses (30kg) (using one bar, strip weights as you go) 1 min rest 24 box jumps (24") 16 double-unders 12 lunges ea. leg Total time: 3:51 Short and sweet, almost too short. | |||

| Thanks for the support and advice, everyone. Maybe the 180 was superfluous, and maybe I wasn't pumped up enough to go for a bigger lift. 200kg will be mine next time. | |||

| No real complaints from me, just a bit of moaning, not least because the c**ts at the post office somehow managed to deliver only 3 out of the 4 20kg plates I ordered. I better find the fourth one on my doorstep tomorrow morning. | |||

| Very kind, but that was far from nice and snappy. 200kg will have to wait until 2013. | |||

| Meh peebees today. Was hoping for a bit more. Squat 160x1 180x1 190xF (hit the safety on the left) 190x (+8kg) Positives: the bar came down and went back up; it's a PB and 2xBW. Negatives: barely made depth; not pretty; it's not 200kg. Bench press (regular grip) 110x1 120x1 (+5kg) Positives: the bar came down and went back up; it's a PB. Negatives: can't seem to stay tight; it's only 120kg. | |||

| Mong clean is strong. Looks like you could mong snatch just as much! | |||

JohnGym said: f**k that s**t. ha. My thoughts exactly. 20k sessions, all that crap, I find it so mind-numbing now. Are you an OTW rower too? For a handful of years, 10 years ago. Never could sort out the balance, not to mention the finer aspects of rowing technique, so I was a bit s**te at it. Ergs don't float, and so on. | |||

| Thanks John. I'm not disappointed by the time, it just shows how much work needs to be done by this winter. I don't combine lifting and erging so much as do them in succession, one in the summer and the other in the winter. But even when I'm in full-on erging mode I can't bring myself to pull on that bloody chain for more than an hour straight! | |||

6k erg today, 21:46.6, 1:50-52/500m ish until 2k to go, then 1:45-1:47/500m and 1:40 over the last 500m. Brutal in my current state of fitness. 1 minute off my best time.  | |||
