Cork is out. Stupid Kidney infection and fainting spells. Six months of preparation fecked. Can't even train for the next few days. Boo. Ah well, there'll be other comps and hopefully by then, the quad will be up to scratch too.

Wednesday 19th October

Tipped away at Fsquats and good mornings because I was pleased at the unexpected occurrence of a squat rack in my hotel gym.
Had a bit of a splash in the pool yesterday and a bit of a wander around the town. Back to reality tomorrow but I'm just going to mess around and play with weights for The rest of the week anyway. I'm liking this brief unplanned interval. Anything can happen, I might even powerlift! Play time!!

supposedly

Deadlifted to 110kg. IDIBISPLDI. Stopped because I remembered I'm supposed to test max snatch on Monday. Woops! It didn't feel heavy anyway so prolly be okay. Sometimes I miss deadlifting.

I'm a firm believer that if you're going to do something important, you should do it in style, and everybody knows there's nothing as important as backsquats.

Tuesday 25th October 2011

Snatch: up to 55kg for a snappy single
Powerclean: up to 63kg for 2 easy singles

Be honest; you're postponing the squat off because you forgot to eat again. For six months. Again.
