WHAT ABOUT MAH LEGS, CHARLIE MURPHY??!!

Edwardius

back still ropey, doin some light squats and core stuff. the last few days. bah!

FS 5s pause at the bottom: 65-75-85

Edwardius

snatch: murdered 85, missed 90, 92, 90, 85, million singles on the minute with 80.

fs: weak ass singles and doubles at 90.

soo tired.

Edwardius

Planets aligned sufficiently to allow training

No hands no feet: couple doubles at 60

Clean and jerk. Erm... 5 singles at 85. Cleans a lot better though.

Halting snatch dead+sn pull: few singles at a ton

front squats with 5s pause at bottom. 80, 85 three singles each. Prefer pause at the top.

Paudee

You should feel all the shame.

I think you should shave your ed off. You don't deserve it.

You make baby ninja cry.

Edwardius

Was out in Celbridge, which meant a sneaky max was to be attempted, pissed 85 again, 90 went behind, 92.5 was locked out but a bit forward. Clean and jerked...err...95. Good fun, much rambling and banter! Moved better than usual, probably because herself forced me to actually warm up properly!

dartstothesea

What place were you training at in Celbridge?

Crossfit West Dublin, it's in the industrial estate off the M4. Dee was doing a workshop out there and I was brought along as a kinda-sorta quasi-weightlifter demo monkey!

Edwardius

NHNF snatches: 65 for 3 doubles. very very good "clunk-clunk".

clean+5s pause in hole+jerk: 5 singles at 90.
probably not a good idea holding my breath during these, started to black out before the jerks, lost one of them sideways, which is new.

Frontal squats: 5 or 6 doubles at 90.

Need to do some superset crap. work capacity is arsed.

Edwardius

humid!

Snatched up to 85, missed 88 3 times, one of 'em was very hairy
4 doubles at 75, had to work for them too

power clean: forgetting how to power clean

back squat, 115x1, 90x5

went home, fell asleep!

Edwardius

Light front squats yesterday, today:

front squat up to 105 twice, missed 110 and 108
clean and jerk: 95, miss clean on 98
Snatch: wandered up to 85 after a couple of misses, missed 89. Leinsters saturday so gonna rest up until then

Edwardius

Leinsters: weighed in at about 10, lifted at about 7!

snatch:
88-92(fail in front)-92(fail behind)
damnit! 92 was very close on the first, threw it behind on the second try.

clean and jerk:
98-102-106(fail clean)
98 felt like it was pressed, rapey told me to widen the grip for the second attempt and it helped, 106 was high enough but a little bit out front (left the hands narrow again. Happy enough with a 190 total but I should be hitting the heavier snatches on the platform.

Edwardius

Erm, didn't do anything since the leinsters. trained in santry with the entire internet. Was a bit grey and dizzy.

Snatch: 3 successful doubles at 75, a few sloppy misses around it
Squat: 3x10x70 (operation legs begins, will probably forget about it in a day and go back to singles)

Squat jerk: I can never leave Santry without doing something idiotic. got to 80, had 4 pops at 85, nearly made the third but didn't jump wide enough so had to shoot the hips back. Missed one behind, gotta move fast when that happens!

Edwardius

Decided to train twice this month:

Clean+fs+2 jerks, 5 sets at 80, c&j: crappy 90
Pause FS, 5 doubles at 85, pause between 3 and 5s
Chinaman snatch pulls: 3x3x80
Snatch dead: 100x5

That actually felt like a lot. durnit!

Edwardius

And on the seventh day man power snatcheth: 65x3x3
And so it was that they were caught in a standing position.

then he Power cleaneth and power jerketh: 75x3x3. He overpulleth the power like the damned and for his penance was gifted a sore back

Upon his back he placeth an almost unweighted barbell of five and seventy kilogrammes and squatteth ten times for three sets

He then forgetteth his clean deadlifts .

Back was giving me hassle, ironic considering Daithi's post!

Did some pilates stuff in the meantime, squatted today sets of 10: 75-80-80. Was shown how to do the abdominal voodoo properly. back smug lifting tomorrow probably.

Edwardius

Back remains unexploded

pause FS (3 seconds), 6 triples at 80
Rack jerk: shaky 90, no confidence due to back. Durn.

Edwardius

Squats of the back variety: 3x10x85kg. Managed not to ram my spine into full extension again which is nice.

Edwardius

Snatch: basically kept going till I had 5 doubles at 75. Took a while. Pause FS triples at 70.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T16XunZaP_I

this was as good as they got.

Edwardius

Squatifications: 10s at 87.5. Did them tharr pilates too.

Edwardius

Frontal squats: a bunch of singles, doubles and triples at 90

Edwardius

Out in Kiwifit again. Squats: 3x10x90, handy enough. Looked ok too,
Muskel snatchez: 50 for 3x3, was gonna do 5x5 but I was messing them up
Swole
Deswole by marching over the entire "Hayth" peninsula! Must feed now.

Edwardius

Deep knee bends:
3x10x95, think I did 11 on the last set. Was listening to something and forgot to count properly. Not too bad. Last rep looked like a snuff movie

рывок 70кг, 5x3
not too bad, apart from being triples. Shoulder is still menstruating so only stood the last one in each set. Missed two and retook immediately.

wasn't bothered with anything else.

Edwardius

Knee bendin'
3x10x100kg

Fronts: paused up to 90 for a single.

Push press: triples 60-70-75, single at 80

Muzkill snatches: 5x5x40

Kinda wandered around for a while trying to think of something to do. nothing was forthcoming so I went home.

Edwardius

Knee bendin':
Woman told me to stay at 100, did 3x10 again. Rank.
Jerks: doubled 90. Dale Jr made me do a bunch of stuff to keep upright so did a pile of things around 80-85
FS with 5s pause: 90

Did some hip/clean drills

Edwardius

Man lift weights. ECB:

Snatched 80 for a triple, went to double 85 but got thrush, back to 80 for a bunch of doubles. got sleepy. Swanned around for a while, pause FS (2 or 3s) up to 95 for a single, gave up on 100. Swanned around some more. Tired now!

Forgot: got committed and did some bench pressing

Edwardius

squats:

Had to lift in cons. Ich habe meine gewichtebeschuen vergessen.

3x10x102.5

did them faster than usual. Malaise looms.

Edwardius

Jerk: doubles to 85, single at 90, 95, 100(f)-100-100(2xf), 5 singles at 80
Still fightin' for position. Need to brace harder. 100 needs to be a "no doubt" lift in training at this stage.

Edwardius

Squat:
barx10
40xsomething
60x3
80x3
90x2
100x1
*weep*
105x10
*clunk*
105x10
*"hail Mary" *
105x10

Decade 5:
Pausing of the frontal squats
singles:
90-95-100(phail)-60-90-95-98-100

the 100 looked like an abortion having an abortion. I kinda cheated too. Will do it properly next time.

tweaked neck in the third set of squats. It's starting to feel a tad sore now. Dunno whether to continue tens, they're looking a bit worse than they were but I can probably still add more weight and keep them reasonable looking. The dread is increasing though!

Herp:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iYJCbvzvD8

tweaked 3rd in 3rd set. These look a lot easier than they feel. Gonna have to get some crack before training in future. screwed up splicing the videos. Not going to fix it.

Weekend: hedonism, fishin', many drivings. Didn't bother training yesterday

Today: was in Kiwifit,

Pilates
squats
10x 107.5-110-107.5
gonna go 110 across next time I think.

Planning to snatch something tomorrow. Maybe doubles at 82 or 83 and some jerks.

Edwardius

Erm, didn't train since the 4th. Decided to work late and stress instead.

Today:

Squats,
singles:
80
100
110
115
120
*O'Briens triple decker on white, toasted*
110: 10-10-9
Came up but started going back down the last one. Did a single after anyway. Balls. Thought I was out of line but didn;t seem to be on the video. I didn't really want to squat today.

Snatch:
singles:
forgot how to snatch for a while with 40
50
60
70
75
80

Doubles:
82(pb)-84(pb)

Felt like a can of hard-boiled shíte before snatches so a pair of pbs is not to be sniffed at. I'm going to somehow equate that to a single at a million kg and use it as justification to not train for a month.

They were easy. Look good.

What's the story with ye's, even Hanley thinks easy reps are hard now.

Man it's weird. They look easy until I fail. I might spend some time practicing grinding out heavy singles. Also, I am a wuss!

Neck demons returned the other day so I'm lying low until they're gone. Might go to 5x5 after.

Edwardius

stupid neck.

squats:
105 for 4x6,

clean and jerk (I haven't cleaned since july for reasons that escape me): I did some of these, then I didn't do a few. Started to black out a few times.

token

I thought you were dead or something

Edwardius

Thought I pulled an adductor getting out of bed this morning but it was just DOMS.

Squats : 4x6x110, thought I was only doing three sets and became unhappy when I remembered it was four.
snatch: up to 88 for a handy single. cooled down because I was yammerin' at someone and missed a second attempt at it.
Had 2mins to do something on the jerk before the platforms closed. wandered up to 95 and missed 100. More upright than before anyway.

Edwardius

Hangin'!
clean and jerked up to 95, missed the ton again. went back and did some work at 90 and missed 94
Rack Jerks: wandered up to 95
Frontal squat, zipped up to a single at 100, missed 105.

Edwardius

Squatifications:
112.5x4x6

decided to do a few singles, 117.5, 122.5, 127.5, fairly soft fail at 132.5 but wasn't too bothered.

Set a world record on the trap bar snatch+press+OHS+thruster, brah.

Ahem!

How very Lily of you.

Edwardius

I forget how this went. An approximate account:
Snatch:
80-84(on 4th attempt)-88(three fails)-80-84-88-92(4 fails)-92(PB!)-95(3 fails but was close enough to get spat out.)

Jurk:
5 minutes: 80-90-95-100-105(2 fails. Very close)

Jerk looks terrible. it's all wrong. I don't video them often but this was nasty looking. Snatches weren't great and the brain was getting in the way. Very happy with the pb though, prolly the lowest height I've ever pulled a successful snatch to. Squats tomorrow

Edwardius

Was in freedom land for work since last post. My rental car did 15mpg. God bless america!

today:
squat: 115x4, got rescued from the 5th.
push presses: bunch of stuff at 75.

Instant onset muscle soreness.
