Disgusting

Squat:

130kg x 2
135kg x 2
140kg x 2
145kg x 2

Ring Chins:

Pretty happy with that but disgusted I didn't get the 10th rep.

Sn RDL:

50kg 4 x 10

Push Ups:

1 x 20

KB Single Arm Row:

16kg 3 x 10 e/s

127.5kg 5 x 5

Rear Fly:

3 x 8
1 x 20

Happy I could bang that out today. My lower back was a bit strange yesterday. Did something as I was getting out of back and there was a bit of a clunk and I ended up with spasms all day. Cue getting out of bed extra carefully this morning It feels ok after that training session so hopefully it's a one off.

DylanJM

Today:

Clean:

50kg 3 x 3
60kg 1 x 2
70kg 1 x 2
80kg 1 x 2
90kg 1 x 2
100kg 1 x 2

Pretty happy with that. Wrist doesn't affect my cleans at all so I think I'll start reintroducing them. Tech was quite fugly and I wasn't racking with a full grip at the heavier weights but I think that will come with practice and some mobility work.

100kg 1 x 3
110kg 1 x 3
117.5kg 1 x 3 hard

Watch yer elbows!

Yup! I think I touched on the second rep which is a first. I think keeping the elbows higher during the pull under and trying to keep the bar closer will help. I think I'm a bit tighter in my triceps and lats as well so I'll do a bit of work on them too.

Have you been training much yourself lately?

Also, I think your hips fall back a bit in the bottom of the catch too (29-30s) pitchin' ya forward. Pull looks class though.

Elbows look a bit sluggish and floppy

My training has been as follows:
warmup
coach
get cold
warmup

get cold
give up
bench
go home.

Last week was better though.

Meh pretty shíte sesh tbh. Still reeling from Monday's Squats despite eating c.4000 calories yesterday. I was riddled with DOMS yesterday.

Rack position is beginning to suffer a bit. I am guessing this is due to my lats being tighter from all the chins and my triceps being tighter from the push ups so some work to do there. The pull in the cleans seems pretty strong though some that's good. Just need to work on my pull under and turnover as they seem to be lacking a bit.

Got some creatine and beta alanine today to try it out. I originally wanted to try that podium gold supplement that Krychev sells in the States but there's nobody carrying it on this side of the water and it's woefully expensive too. So I was thinking this could be a cheaper alternative with similar effects. I don't usually buy into the supplement end of things but there seems to be good things said about this combo so we'll see in a couple of weeks. I got the tingles from the beta alanine soon after taking it which was a bit of a weird sensation.

Couple of quick questions dude.
Do you stretch much/ do mobility work?
Are pull ups all you do for your lats? I have real trouble engaging my lats properly when I train them, don't think I've ever experienced DOMS in them.
Did you teach yourself the Olympic lifts?

1. Yes I would do quite a bit. I do a good bit before a training session and try to do at least 5-10 mins on rest days. Mainly focused on hip and shoulder mobility. Although I've sorta been neglecting my shoulders lately. I try to make it a priority as I was injured all last summer due to neglecting my mobility and I don't wanna end up there again.

2. Yeah pretty much although the back will get quite a bit of work from all the pulling movements and front squats too. I find it hard to get DOMS from pull ups as well. The only times I've had DOMS from pull ups is from doing loads of volume and from doing negatives. I wouldn't be too concerned about DOMS though, if your numbers are still going up or your back is getting bigger than something must be working

3. I did at the very start and it was a very frustrating experience. I sort of did it arse ways by learning to clean first rather than learning to snatch first which isn't something I'd do again. It is very possible to teach yourself the lifts but it can take a long time and become very frustrating. Having a good coach will speed up the learning process considerably and if you join a club you have all he other positive aspects that come along with that too.

Thanks for reading the log if you've any other questions give me a shout and I'll try to help.

Getting back into the swing of things. Bar not looping as much. I need to sort out my tempo too, bar speed is slower from knee to hip than from floor to knee. This should be the other way around. Had a serious back pump goin on as well.

Pretty happy with that. There was a slight elbow wobble with the 80 but it was minimal. Looked at the video and I think it looks pretty good. Staying over the bar better and using my legs better too.

Cleans were very strong today. Jerks were so so. I was sort of lunging into them which I'm guessing id down to not stepping the front foot out enough. I also think my abs are a weak point so I'm gonna do work on them at the end of every session.
