Hope you're having a good day
Thanks, it was a great day!
We won the the shield and placed 1st and 2nd in the men's and 2nd ladies
.
I went 62/88/150 @ 68kg.
Not a good day on the platform for me, I was hoping for 68/90.
Snatch warm up went really well, I was hitting my positions but it all went pear-shaped on the platform, I hit a messy 62kg and then missed 65kg twice, just forgot what I was at :eek:.
Clean and jerks went slightly better, opened with 85kg, I pulled it really high and the bar crashed on me knocking me on my arse, we decided to go 85kg again just to make sure I made a total. Second attempt was perfect and 88kg was solid, I reckon I would have made 90kg no problem had things gone different.
I learned allot on Saturday, I'm still a total newbie when it comes to competing, need to do as many comps as I can next year to get more comfortable at it, try get my comp lifts looking more like my training lifts.
Bit of a transition week then starting a strength cycle next week, looking forward to a change in training. Might look at doing a comp this side of Christmas if one comes up.0 -

But I've probably just jinxed it.
Don't worry I'm not superstitious.
On this program we max out most Saturdays but its approached as a max for the day rather than a PR attempt, if I get up around 90% then that's good.
We'll probably test proper in 10 weeks at the end of this cycle.0 -

Interesting! So is it just a test on the day or do you purposely keep it below actual PR level more often than not?0 -

We go for a max but it best not to think of it as a test or PR attempt. It's kind of a physiological thing, if you go in every Saturday looking for a PR then you'll leave the gym pissed off 95% of the time. We look at it as a max for that particular day, if your lifting well and get to 90% of your PR then that would be a decent session, getting close to a PR would be a good session and a PR would be a great session. You'll get bad day's were you get nowhere near a PR but at least you know you'll have another go the next week. 0 -

I was supposed to do front squats and core work to but was pushed for time so had to leave them.
I think I have a spot of patellar tendinitis in my left knee, it flared up bad after training on Thursday and was really sore on Friday. I spent Friday evening rolling, stretching and icing, then the same Saturday morning. During training I kept rolling and stretching between lifts, it seems to have eased off and I was able to get through the session. Gonna keep rolling and icing and see how I get on, if it gives me more bother I might have to back off training a bit, fingers crossed its not too bad. 0 -

Another great session today. Was really worried about the knee again today, front squats were going to be the real test but it seems to be OK, happy days . Snatches felt really good, probably the best I'v moved in a long time. 0
