Weighted Hypers
4 sets

Curls

Swole Control
hillz x 7-1 rest paused haha

You have no idea how happy i am with the jerks, i didn't even come close to pressing any out untill the last set and i'm getting sort comfortable from the racked position, considering 3 weeks ago i could barely get into position never mind jerk from it.

This is class

Does the most powerful man count as a comp or do you have to do a fancy pants Oly meet?
Or both?

Also, in the name of swole, Could you not throw an odd sneaky max effort bench when Nobody is looking?

I'm sick of benching, i havn't trained it since before christmas, i reckon i'll always be able to do 140 regardless. I'll keep benhing the odd time probably.

My tricep strength is gone to crap so close grip a bit.

If i'm going to mediocre at something i might aswell be mediocre at something fun.

Plus, squatting more than twice a week is illegal in powerlifting land.

There's some sort of misconception around here that i was following C&P.

I wasn't, i had an idea of %s and rep ranges and then i went by how i felt on the day (which, especially with high frequency idiocy is much smarter than saying i have to hit this becasue some template told me to, or conversely not going for it on a set when you feel great because the piece of paper in your hand tells you not to). And i also ocassionally lose the plot.

It could be the thread title, or it could be the fact that the C&P guy advocates basically what you have just described more often than he advocates his "programme"

Or it could just be I am the only guy who mentions C&P and you listen to me because you loooooove me.

He doesn't he advocates destroying himself as much as possible regardless of how he feels with no real thought to his exercise selection.

That's like a prerequisite for being listened to in internet strength land.
Wendler: Tool
Rippetoe: Tool

Today

Much guff with the bar

Snatch
40kg x many doubles
50kg x many doubles
60kg x many doubles and singles
65kg x some singles

Powerclean
40kg x many doubles
60kg x many doubles
70kg x a few

Was suggested i should just get under the bar and stop fapping about
One First Pull One Clean and Power Jerk
70kg x many
70kg x many doubles
80kg x some doubles
85kg x a few
90kg x 2
95kg x all went horribly wrong, huge amount of pull caught it very high
95kg x 1 nice
100kg x basically didn't do anything i'd been doing right, right (worst sentence ever)

So i suppose that can be my technical max. it was piss though.

Cleans are mad, i've never caught anything below a 9/10th squat before.
It's mental how easy they are even just doing a couple of things kind of right. Pretty weird though, it's kind of like doo dee doo nice controlled squeeze off the ground up past the knees and all of a sudden you're in a front squat. Mental.

Went for some lunch, coffee, some attempt at course work, Then

Some more guff with the bar

Front Squats
bar 2 x 5
40kg x 5
60kg x 5
80kg x 3
90kg x 1
100kg x a total of 50 reps, then i got given out to like a bold child for about 10 minutes so i stopped.

First Pull
**** all weight x some

Abz
3 sets

Gunz
3 sets

Earlier was basically Snatch doubles, 3 x 2s at some different weights

Cleaned 80 for many many singles. Some of which apparently looked okay. My quads were having none of it.

I think my knees are made out of sand.

It was much too early and i was fairly sore from those stupid front squats yesterday.

I dunno does anyone want to hear what i think about training sessions? Like i remember when hanley all of a sudden decided to be a weightlifter and was blabbering on about his sessions, i was like "what are you at you gom". :pac:

I can't really see it being of any benifit to anyone, and i'll just come across as a tool, i might just resurrect my blog and talk to myself. :D

Keep the log for yourself you knob. So you can see progression 6 months down the road.

Or look at what I did and use it to get better too.

Its not like you are the only lad with a weightlifting log.
Frankly its a damn sight more interesting that that period when your back was ****ed and all you did was bench....

I mean who's log is of benefit to anyone?
Seriously.
Like say mine: "How to fail and whinge about it" I have no idea why people even check it.
Or Hanleys reads like a translation of that Karma Sutra, but its of benefit to him and maybe of interest to people who like that sort of thing.

I mean when you think about it, you are still squatting.
And still pulling off the floor.

The only thing you're not doing is benching, which (whilst being totally gay) is like making up for the injury.
Its still of interest and can help you keep accountable.

Bar Guff

Snatch
40kg 3 x 3
50kg 2 x 3
60kg 3 x 3
65kg x 3
70kg x 1 x 1

There was a couple a fails in they're from being an idiot. Also running after 65kg is embarassing.

The Last snatch was nice. Felt like most of them did yesterday. It's so ****ing easy when it goes kinda right, then when it doesn't you look like a plonker.

Powercelan
70kg 2 x 2
80kg 2 x 2

Clean-ish. I had no interest in getting under the bar, but forced myself to
80kg 2 x 2
85kg 3 x 2
90kg 2 x 2
95kg x 1 x 1 x 1 Powercelaned the last one.

There was probably a few more attempts but that's basically it. I also jerked one of them :pac:

am sore.

G86

I just noticed you posted that video, nice one

Your log is still interesting...and you still don't whine as much as me; keep posting.


Also, start putting up vids, it'd be nice if we could see what you're doing and the right/wrong way...I'm sure you've vids of both!

p.s. does this make up for being mean to you?? I'm sorry:P

itsallaboutheL

I'm purposely not videoing anything.

I've only seen one of my lifts, and that was by accident.
