there is the old JP and the new JP, the all time PB must be a minute or so, who knows. Have held 160s for close to 30 seconds - grip used to be ok, but since the injury its all starting from a clean table mate. It is now weak, very weak...

I wish i could get back to this strength it would do as the first goal...

Couple days off due to just not having many days off lately :)

Yesterday went with the u90 northern qualifiers - great show, great individual performances and higher than expected quality IMO.

Small log
5x50
5x50
3x60
2x70
1x80
1x90

Big log
f,f,f,f,f,f....

all just in the head, scared of it like a wee boy that i am.

Deadlifts
5x70
3x120
2x170
2x200
3x200

carry & drag medley
20m x 90 farmers, 20m x 135kg on tire drag

Farmers holds

Whoa.

I must have ate some dodgy seitan if I log onto VF and read about JP whining about missing a Yoga class.

Damnit, no more wanky food for me after 6PM.
Next time, I'll spend the money on drugs instead.

Yesterday:

3 hr walk in the peak district. Solid walk, nice setting.

Today:

SUGDEN CENTRE

good stuff, nailed 30 mins of crosstrainer intervals, some rehab, rows and guns, and of course YOGA! Yoga was pretty hardcore today with tons of shoulder work.

Olympic sports gym tomorrow, and some clean & jerk should be in order...

Wee bit of cardio, 17 mins on cross trainer, pressing (up to 3x3x60) and rehab/shoulder stuff.

now rest and feeding till sundays big session - cant wait!
