I gotta take it on the otherside

Today

Sore.

Snatch
kept it lightish.
took it up to 85
then back to 80 for some singles failed the 4th? behing me and was like, ya fuck it.
verrrry slow under the bar today.

Cleans
lol, not happening

My SI is in tatters, i can kinda pop it in throughout the session but that's pretty stupid.

For some Reason i decided squatting would help

40kg x5
80kg x5
110kg x3
130kg x3
140kg x3
150kgx3
160kg x1
170kg x1
180kg x1

It was getting to the stage where the hardest part was bending over to pick up plates, which i generally take as a sign not to push the reps :)

I walked out 190 and was like, naaaaaaw

Push Press
40kg x3
70kg x3
80kg x3
90kg x3
95kg x3
100kg x2

Power Jerked 110 for a triple then and called it there, once again SI is notta so good.

Standing Press
40kg x 5
50kg x 5
60kg x 5
65kg x 5
70kg x 5

Gym closed.

Knee sleeves lady was in. Om nom nom.

I'll give the back a week, if it doesn't settle i'll get it fixed. (by give it a week i mean i'l train obv.)

PR Saturday

Am

Snatch 95 for a 5kg PR

PM

Clean 115 for a 5 kg PR

Boom.

Fuck you influenza.

I think i'm getting the hang of this weightlifting business. It's way more satisfying than powerlifting.

Down with the Sickness

Today

Seems everyone is either injured or sick or both like me 'cause i'm special :/

Snatch
up to a handy double at 70 and was told to stop before i died.

Was not well at all. No way could i continue snatching or try clean so i did what any self repecting ex-powerlifter would do and i benched.

Close Grip
bar 3 x 10
60kg 3 x 5
80kg 2 x 5
100kg x 5
110kg x 3
115kg x 3
120kg x 3
125kg x 1
100kg x 10
100kg x 7-3

I kinda miss benching, or at least miss being good at it.

Standing DB Press
15kg 18kg 20kg 24kg dbs all x 8

Single Arm Fat Grip DB Clean and Press
up to the 50kg dumbell for reps

To quote big ron "reps is no joke"

i think i got 7 reps each cleaned on the 50

then 5 the second set.

Was basically delirious at this stage.

Seated DB Press (reckon it's at least a year since i pressed seated or with DBs.

24kg dbs x 8
28kg dbs x 8
30kg dbs 3 x 5
35kg dbs x 5

Gunshow.

I really wish they'd buy me a plate-loadable circus dumbell. The fat grips dont fit on some of the dumbells very well. And there 7kg jumps after the 50s which is ridiculous. Also i'm half afraid to go over 50 since i broke the 63kg :/

Worked up to a single at 140 in 6minutes on the front squat.

I think i might start squatting on a non-lifting day, i havn't had 200kg plus on anything in like a month and a half?

Blargh

Only i could take 5 days off lifting and come back worse than when i stopped.

Felt Awful

Pushpress

Left it there, didn't want to push it by squatting.

I'm never not lifting for 5 days again unless im dead. Also, drinking does not promote recovery, who'd have thunk it.

Don't go above 75

I hope murph never sees this.
