Lift it to your heart, then push it to the sky

solid report from a solid week, but maybe too many references to being tired and too few into how much food you ate.

Did you weigh yourself?

You forgot the firdays bench pressing

Yeah, I did quite abit of overeating. Food was just amazing !

Did you weigh yourself?

Yes I did...now. 103kg, but I have hardly eaten today.

True .

Sorry for the ignorant question, but is that YOU standing on the blocks or is the weight on the blocks?

The weight. Gives a higher starting positions, good for people too lazy to pull from the floor. Also useful for training the second pull and such.

ANyway, tonights training.
Met an old friend from school whos into olympic lifting at the gym. Appearantly he has started training there, which is good cause it means I could get some tips and advice and such. Training wasnt too bad, snatches quite ok, jerks not too bad. Legs felt really weak though, but that should be easy to fix. In theory .

Snatches:
40kg: 1x3, 50kg: 1x3, 60kg: 3x3, 65kg: 1x2, 70kg: 1x2
Jerks:
40kg: 2x3, 50kg: 1x3, 60kg: 1x2, 70kg: 1x1, 80kg: 3x1
Some random stuff for core and rotatorcuff. Guess I should log it more in detail.

Also I met the club coach this morning, and he told me there is the district championships in one month, insinuating that I should compete I think. Have to think about that, I'm sure I'll come last but it could still be fun.

[JP]

in a month? nice one! Time for a wee build up?

Well, like I said, I have to think about it .

[JP]

yes, devising a pre-competition nutritional plan takes time.

True, optimal amount of falafel must be calculated! Plus I would also want my lifting to be in a decent state.

Clean day. Hang cleans felt ok, except my knees didnt like them much for whatever reason. Repping strength on pushpresses really bad, considering if an improvement would be good. Front squats not quite as weak as expected.

Front squats:
80kg: 1x5, 90kg: 5x3

Some wrist and core work.

Snatch night.

85kg is there. Failed to lift it but it is there. Jerks kind of ok, front squats weak but on track. Played with a 32kg kettlebell I found at the gym and started considering buying a lighter one for warmup and fun.
Did more trashtalking than usual about all kinds of subjects not related to lifting, including but not limited to: getting ripped off by used carsellers, going to the dentist, what a fucking monster Bob Sapp is, how unpleasant it has to be to be kicked by Crocop etc etc. Think it was trashtalk PB !

Snatch:
40kg: 1x3, 50kg: 1x3, 60kg: 1x3, 70kg: 1x2, 75kg: 1xf, 1x1, 80kg: 1x1, 85kg: 2xf
Jerks:
50kg: 1x3, 60kg: 1x3, 70kg: 1x2, 80kg: 1x2, 90kg: 3x1
Front squats:
80kg: 2x5, 100kg: 1x3
KB snatch:

KB C&J:
32kg: 1x1

[JP]

watch out, your snatch will soon overtake your jerk

[bronco]

Yeah, and then I'll just sit back and wait until the C&J is ditched from olympic lifting like the C&P was ditched in 74 .
But actually I think jerk is as good as ever, and on the rise .
