Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | 101kg last night. Snatches - worked up to 80 but missed it 3 times (1 behind, 2 forward). Dropped to 70, missed it twice. Then got it. Then did 75 twice, then missed 78 3 times (all forward). Terrible Front squats up to a very hard single at 100. Nothing in my legs at all last night, must be due to the heavy squats on Tuesday... Light-ish session on Saturday then max out next week hopefully. | ||

It went, and presumably still does, through Sc**thorpe. Few guys on here are from Scunny or train there as far as I know. I prefer the megabus  although it's a bloody long journey if you continue on to Hull, no??? Like 5 hours!I know that Valdas strongman guy trains in Scunny? My mate said he came into the gym the other week and just snatched 125 like nothing with barely any warmup haha. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Was helping out at the powerlifting comp today so snuck a quick session in at the end. 101kg BW Did power snatch + full snatch complex, lots of reps at 65. Felt good for the most part. Then power cleans + power jerks, singles up to a few reps on 85. Pull is definitely starting to feel better since I made the adjustment. Then beltless clean deadlifts up to 160x3. Didn't have my knee wraps but still felt comfortable snatching. Hopefully max out on snatch on monday if I'm feeling good. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Last night, 101kg Snatch 70 75 80 84 88 91 - F (forward) 91 PB! 93 PB 95 PB 97 - F 97 - F (both in front) Front squats - belted 110 115 120 125 PB Snatch pulls 105x2 105x2 105x2 105x2 BTN push press 78 83 88 91 PB Can't even remember the last time I got so many PBs in one session lol. Snatches were a very pleasant surprise, I didn't even think 91 would go given how bad snatches have been recently, but was secretly hoping for 93. So 95 was very out of the blue! Front squats I just went for a token PB as I wanted to save my legs for C&Js on Wednesday. Had a horrendous night's sleep after this session, always struggle to get to sleep and stay asleep when I max out. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Last night, just over 101 BW. C&J - used a belt today 90 100 104 108 - F clean 108 - F, jerk pressed out slightly 112 - F jerk 112 - F clean 112 - F clean Back squats - belted 130 140 148 155 161 - F 161 - F Rows 70x8 70x8 70x8 Bench 82.5x5 82.5x5 82.5x5 2 sets of curls Man that was terrible. My clean is so s**t. I cleaned 112.5 about 9 months ago or something and have yet to clean more than that. The 1st attempt was relatively close I guess, collapsed horribly in the catch but stood up ok with it. Jerk was not close to lockout. Attempts 2 and 3 it just dropped off my shoulders as I went under the clean, was horrible. Squats my legs were just a bit tired from the CJs I think as well as the work of the past week. Away until the 1st of June now. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Back off holiday on Sunday night. A ridiculously sleep-deprived and alcohol-fuelled 10 days, great trip though. Immune system feels pretty battered at the moment. Headed back to the gym last night just to get myself in there really. Lost 3.5kg. Power snatches/pulls on 50 Power clean and jerks on 50 Front squat -> jerk complexes on 70/75 Rows on 60 Felt horrible as predicted. Had a great sleep after though. Back in gym tonight for some slightly heavier full movements hopefully. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | 98kg BW again last night. Snatch work up to 60kg. Pulls, powers, full etc. Used straps as my hands still have blisters on them from holiday. Clean pull - hang clean - jerk complex up to 80kg. Feels much better from the hang, was told turnover looked a lot better. Will incorporate these in a bit more. Squats up to a measly 110 for a couple of triples unbelted. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Last night, 98kg BW Snatch 70 for 3 doubles and a single Clean pull - hang clean - jerk Singles on 80, 85, 90, 92, then final one on 95. Cleans felt great and locked in, jerk was a bit more wobbly than expected. Clean pulls 3 triples on 110 Push press Went up to 85, attempted 89 for a PB but not really close. Abs 3 sets Fairly happy with that, making progress on clean technique, hopefully it carries over to lifts from the floor. Will continue with hang cleans on one of my clean days, other day will try out clean-front squat(-jerk) complex as recommended by a mate from the gym. Had a brilliant sleep after this, so much so that I overslept for work and woke up at 10 lol. Honestly can't remember the last time I slept so much unbroken! | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | No training at the weekend as I was at the Junior Worlds in Poland spectating. Absolutely amazing weekend, watched men's 56s and 62s as well as women's 48 sessions. Seriously inspirational watching those athletes! Also was allowed access to the training hall. Met loads of cool people including hookgrip, ATG and Luis Mosquera! Got a ton of footage so will be posting it up in the coming days. For now check out @bethnalgreenwlc on instagram or Bethnal Green Weightlifting Club on facebook where there's already a few bits and bobs that I've put up. Anyway, had to wake up at 4am yesterday morning to catch my flight. Trained later in the evening. Weighed 100kg. Genuinely think it was all the ridiculously salty food we had in Poland that caused the weight spike. lol Snatch 65x3 70x3 70x3 70x3 72x3 74x3 all great! no missed reps Front squats - belted 107.5x3 107.5x3 107.5x3 tough!! Low hang snatch pulls - saw these recommended by FirstPull so thought I'd try them out. 80x3 87.5x3 95x3 95x3 95x3 Hypers 15 15 15 Surprisingly really good session. Snatches felt awesome. My best triple before this was 67.5 or 68 I think (as never really pushed triples) so pretty much all those sets were PBs. Here's a video of Cheng Meng that I took in Poland. 126kg snatch at 56kg BW and 20 years old. | ||
