nice work!

Got to the gym at 6pm, left at 10.30pm. Hammered.

Thanks mate. Yeah, I have a big meal before I leave, then I have some stuff to eat between snatch and C&J, plus some carbs to drink during the C&J.

Friday 04/11/11: Woking

Both racks being used when I arrived so didn't squat first. On a Monday I'd have just waited but Fridays are always quick in and out affairs.

A) Snatch
40/2 power

50/1x2
55/1
60/1
65/1
70/F,1

81/F,F,F: first one smashed out front, didn't finish; second pulled it in better but still out front; third nowhere near

B) C&J
60/1x2
70/1x2
80/1
85/1
90/1: really nice jerk, "excellent" according to Brian.

Had 95 loaded but ended up coaching Omar on his jerk for longer than planned as Brian had gone home. Decided to just do some quick squats before Roger locked up.

C) Front squats
100/1
120/1
141/1: planned to double it but was not going to happen today. Monday...

135/2x2

Seeing as you don't get bonus points for dumping yourself onto the front judges lap, I can't blame them.

How are you feeling today? Was expecting to be feeling amazing after such a light session, but I feel stuffed.

OK actually. Legs feel a bit sore from the 151 attempt, but not heavy or achy.

40/2x2
50/1x2
60/1
65/1
70/1
75/FFF: first rubbish, second ruined by Weird Ben's stupid counting (!!!), third had it but had to chase and dumped it because my right wrist didn't approve.

Hmmm... Wrists don't like snatching without straps, so was not as aggressive under the bar as I need to be. Will just have to dose up on ibuprofen and grimace through it at the comp.

70/1
80/1
85/1
90/1
95/1
