Fairly dominated everything today. The squats were really slick. Very very solid and smooth. About an inch away from depth but whatever, I'll smash it on the day. 310 should deffo go.

Deads were very smooth and easy. 240kg shot up.

Benching was handy.

My elbow feels decent.

Bench tomorrow and then that's the heavy sh!t done.

<<Pain... made to order>>

Band pushdowns - warm ups

Bench:
60kg x5
80kg x3
100kg x1
115kg x1
130kg x1
145kg x2 - P

*shirt on, 44 Super Katana*

160kg x3
180kg x1
190kg x1
195kg 4x1

Band pushdowns and bands curls x tons

Dunno where the raw bench came outta.... Kinda felt like just going for a PR this week after doubling 140kg last week.

The shirted benching was good. HAD to bring it together today and I did. First rep with 195 was cut about an inch short then threw it back too hard and lost it about 3 inches from lockout, second rep I fought down, took a good 5 seconds to touch and I DIED on the way up - pressed, but it fell outta the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Third rep was fairly good, cut it about 1mm too short but pressed strongly. Fourth I just went for it. Pulled it down quickly and BLASTED it back up. Solidest bench of the entire cycle. Getting the bar down a bit quicker seems to be the key to both touching and hitting a smooth press.

Now... for the bad part. I can't describe how bad the pain in my elbows has gotten. It's unbearable. As in so bad I just want to go jump off a cliff to make it stop. Anyone who saw me in the gym will say how bad a state I was in. I was rolling around on the floor in agony during reps trying to find a comfortable position that stopped the pain. It was taking 15 minutes for the pain to subside enoguh for me to attempts reps again. Can't wait for this fcuking comp to be over!!

@Hanley,

I've been watching your vids on YT and have to say I'm well impressed. DL'ing 200x10 is some accomplishment, congrats! How do you avoid over-training with the level of volume that you do?

To be honest, it doesn't feel like a whole lot of volume. If you read thru my log you'll see the gradual increase over time.

One of the things that's helped to push it to the next level has been spending a 3-4 weeks block every now and again concentrating on Crossfit stuff. Seems to really help my recovery and work capacity.

Cut 1.5kg. I go thru a fierce amount of water during comps even when I'm not cutting.

They have cold packs behind the counter in boots, ya jsut gotta ask for them.

And lolz... overkill much?

Day 1 on a new path...

I'm switching over to the darkside of the platform. Now that I'm finished as a junior in powerlifting and went out on a high, I can finally dedicate a serious block of time to weightlifting. As in, olympic weightlifting.

So... without further delay, my first ever weightlifting training session;

Overhead squats:
20kg 4x5
40kg x5

Drop Snatches:
40kg 2x5
45kg x3

Hang Snatch:
40kg 2x3
45kg x3
50kg x3

Hang Cleans:
40kg x3
60kg x3
65kg x3
70kg x3

Dunzo. Will repeat that tomorrow and Thursday, hook back up with Harry on Friday and see what's what from there.

DamienH · 29-03-2010 10:19PM

Fecking amazing Hanley.... sick ****!

Kev M · 30-03-2010 12:36AM

Sick. Great total - and to think that there could have been another (20-30kgs?) there easy enough makes it even more impressive.

good lick with it.
very humbling to go from powerlifting to OLY lifting as the weights will be so much lighter.
was talking to a lad onlt today about it and we were both saying how chuffed we were to even get a 40kg snatch!

I met Harry a few weeks ago, he was coaching the course i was doing as part of the OLY lifting level 1 coaching course.

Nice guy and very good coach

Cheers bro. Coulda gone 305/212/275 alright.... so another 25kg? Maybe more. I don't think a 310kg squat and 215kg bench were outta the question like.

jaggiebunnet wrote: »

Yeah.. maybe if I get tickets!! Don't hold your breath. 155/196 was the lowest total there in 2008 @ 94kg. You're talking at least a 245kg high bar squat and incredibly perfect technique to get to that level.

Hang cleans were grand.... again, not hitting full extenstion like a gimp.

Benching was alright... weight felt a bit heavy. 3 boards were fine and the RH's were a total nut smasher.
