Another weakling looking to get strong

[HONOS]

Since I couldn't go to the gym yesterday, I did some pulling today. Just like last week. I decided not to do a whole lot though, since heavy deadlifting the day before oly training didn't really work out great. So I did a short workout at home.

DB ROW (per arm):
8x45kg
8x55kg
8x65kg
7x75kg
20x45kg

SHRUGS:
12x120kg
15x120kg
25x120kg

I did these with DBs and wanted to do them all without straps, but grip gave out on the last set, so I used straps.

Thanks a lot man! Appreciate the encouragement.

Today I did the following:

POWER SNATCH:
3x40kg
3x40kg
3x47.5kg
3x52.5kg
3x52.5kg
3x57.5kg
3x57.5lg
2x60kg
2x60kg

FULL CLEAN:
3x40kg
3x40kg
3x55kg
3x70kg
3x77.5kg
2x85kg
0x90kg
2x90kg (PR)
1x95kg (PR)
1x100kg (PR)

SPLIT JERK:
4x45kg
3x45kg
3x60kg
2x70kg
2x80kg
2x80kg
2x80kg

PULLS:
3x80kg
3x80kg
3x80kg

I'm definitely feeling a lot of progression in the oly lifts. Snatches all felt light and I finally did a full clean with a 100kg. It was my first time doing jerks and my coach said they looked pretty good, even though I could go a bit deeper on the catch. It's a good feeling to really notice that I'm getting better at this stuff.

FULL SNATCH:
4x40kg (2 from knees, 2 from hips)
3x40kg (k-k-h)
3x50kg (k-k-h)
3x57.5kg (k-k-h)
2x62.5kg (k-k)
2x65kg (k-k)
2x70kg (k-k)

CLEAN & JERK (FULL):

2x50kg
2x65kg
2x80kg
2x87.5kg (missed the first)
1x92.5kg
1x97.5kg
0x100kg - The clean felt easy as hell, but I just missed the jerk. My coach wouldn't let me have another go, which sucks, cause I wanted that 100kg C&J.

FRONT SQUAT:
3x75kg
3x90kg
3x100kg
3x110kg
3x110kg
3x110kg

PULLS:
3x110kg
3x110kg
3x110kg

Today was the first time I trained in actual weight lifting shoes, since I finally got them today. Great difference. Today was also my first time doing actual clean and jerks, so I guess 97.5 isn't too bad, considering I had only done jerks for the first time last Wednesday.

Then my shoulder, which has been bothering me for a while now, hurt pretty bad, so my coach thought it would be better to give it some rest.

Of course I did do some other stuff after that:

OLY SQUAT:
5x60kg
5x60kg
5x85kg
5x100kg
3x120kg
3x130kg
3x145kg
3x160kg (rep pr)
3x160kg

SNATCH GRIP PULL:
5x80kg
5x80kg
5x80kg

Sucks my shoulder decided to be a bitch, cause everything felt pretty good. Luckily squats felt great, I wanted to go heavier and test my max, but my coach wouldn't let me. The first set felt kind of easy, but he said speed was more important at this point than going heavier.

sorry...double post

No problem man, it happens.

She made that movie worth watching

Still haven't seen the movie, but I can imagine her being the only good thing about it. Nothing can beat the cartoons.

Went for a quick squat session today. Wasn't really focussed and forgot my log. Still got a pr, which is what I was going for.

From memory:

SQUAT:
5x60kg
5x60kg
5x90kg
3x120kg
3x140kg
2x160kg
1x180kg (+10kg pr)
2x160kg
3x140kg
5x100kg (paused)

Vid of the 180:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lY4K8U6X8VQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lY4K8U6X8VQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Some lower back rounding in the hole, which I guess had to do with my lack of focus and with the fact that I used a lower bar position than I ha been using for the last 2 months in oly training.

Then some pushing:

SOHP (Strict):
5x40kg
5x60kg
5x60kg
2x80kg (push press)
2x70kg

And after that some BW chins. BW was around 117kg today.

 

[Hexagon]

That's a hell of a progress. Congrats.

 

[HONOS]

Thanks man! Yeah my squat has improved a lot lately, event though technique on the video wasn't all that great. I can still clearly remember not being able to get 3 plates.
