Countdown

Wednesday 10th February

I didn't really feel fully recovered from Monday's session today but had made coaching commitments. The snatches expecially lacked a bit of zip.


Power Snatch

Power Clean

I experimented with a wider grip today which seemed to help keep the pull smoother and closer.

Fr Sq
90x3
120x3
140x3

(Remind me never to stop front squatting again!)

Stalemate

Monday 8th February

Only 2 weeks now til the English and my lifting stays in the doldrums! Hopefully I'll find some inspiration on the big day!

Fr Sq
100x3
120x3
140x2.5 - Wow my leg strength has fallen off!


For some reason my body weight has dropped down to 90kg. Perhaps it's the stress over my house...?

2 Weeks Out

Thursday 4th February

I had a decent session but not spectacular. Was hoping I could move it along today but it wasn't quite there..

My back was a little sore tonight so decided to give the squats a miss.

Slowly but surely

I did this session at 10am so the snatches felt a little laboured. Seemed to wake up for the cleans though - 137 was pretty easy. I'm confident I can do 117 and 140 on Thursday.

Everything moving in the right direction. 117, 137, 147x5 next week.

Back Again

Monday 25th

I've had a couple of weeks of less structured training due to the stresses and distractions of buying a house but I'm back and ready to go now. Only 4 weeks til the English Championships in Lillieshaw...:

Power Snatch
60x2 (5)
80x2 (2)
90x2
100x2
110
112
112
115 - this was caught fairly deep


Power clean
80 (2)
100 (2)
120 (2)
130
132
135 F

Squat
80x5
120x5
140x5 - easy

Was a fairly good return to structured training. I've decided I'll probably do more power versions this year as the full lifts seem to really break my body down. I hope to power 122 and 142 in the next 4 weeks.
