Yeah I'm gonna do the Northern Seniors in March. What Uni do you work at? I work at Sheffield Hallam Uni mate (for my sins! lol!). Its weird, I think I am used to deadlifting with my shoes on and over the bar, so it seems normal now I think. I tend to do them last so I am smashed by the time I do them though. I've wondered if I could pull something decent if I did them fresh and with just some deadlift slippers on. Oh and cheers, the numbers are starting to climb now, thankfully. | ||

Member 4046, 590 posts | Wednesday: did a bunch of remedial stuff, probably not really worth reporting. Thursday am (stoopid early, could not wake up nor move fast!) Cleans: 60 x 3 80 x 2 90 x 2 100 x 2,2 110 x 2 112.5 x 2 115 x miss, 1,1 (break in between reps was too long for it to be a double really) Squats: 60 x 5 90 x 5 115 x 5 120 x 10, 10 Strict Press, Paused 50 x 5 60 x 5 70 x 3 75 x 4 (missed 5th, wasnt heavy just completely lost my groove and couldn't rescue it) 70 x 5, 5 GHR: BW x 15 x 4 Hypers: BW x 25 x 4 Lying Face Pulls: ? x 20 x 3 Then showed some people a bunch of awful (but good) stretches and somehow got talked into running a class! Weird session. Everything felt manageable enough but I'm not used to training really early and my body just wasn't awake as I was lifting. Typically, as I was doing the light stuff at the end, I suddenly woke up and felt amazing. Was a bit off with cleans and I got stapled and caught no bounce a couple of times, but was able to stand no problem. Luckily though, on my last rep of my last set I managed to figure out what i was doing wrong and correct it. I was letting my hips shoot just a tad off the floor and by keeping a more upright posture and consciously thinking about leading with my chest, when I caught the last rep it landed where it needed to be and was much, much better. | ||

Member 4046, 590 posts | AndyCoupe said:Good cleans there Dave, what was the gap in between the "double"? Cheers Andy, they were OK and I think that if I did them at a different time or if I was used to training really early they would have gone a bit better. I see that you train at 6am sometimes, madness. You know, I'm not sure really, it was enough time for me to catch my breath and know that I wouldn't miss the 2nd rep; I just sort of stood around and stared at the bar till I went again. Normally after I rep I have to push the plates back on and re-set which seems to time my reps, but today I didn't have to do it so there is the possibility that I didn't rest as much as I thought, it just felt like ages. | ||

A double  No more 6am sessions now but I did enjoy training at that time once I got used to it. At first it was tough. | ||

| dave_rogerson | | Time to get back at it.. | 16-03-2014 @ 12:44 |
Member 4046, 590 posts | Sorry for the lack of updates lads. I've been MIA for a bit. Well, I had another little surgery on my hand, which I really, really hope is the last one now and I haven't been training much over the past 6 weeks. Sounds daft, and you wouldn't think hand surgery would affect much but it was actually a bit rougher this time than the last and I was struggling a bit. Anyway, back to it this week. I started back training last week with some squats and got a bit carried away and ended up hitting some decent numbers, lol, but strained my lower back a bit in the process so easing in over the next two weeks. I made a good bit of progress on my technique before I had my op (which is what I wanted to do), so I'm giving myself a couple of weeks to feel sharper and then plan to get some more intense work in. today I did: Paused Squats: up to 140 x 2 Power Snatch: 40, 50 , 60 x 3 70 x 2 75 x 2 80 x 1 85 x miss x 2 (really close) 80 x 2 x 2 Clean and Jerk 60, 80 x 2 90 x 1 100 x 1 105 x 1 (hand a little sore in the receive, so backed off) Power Clean and Jerk: 80 x 3 85 x 2 90 x 2 RDL standing on 25's up to 120 x 8 Did some machine rows Not too bad really. Fancied the 85 power snatch but I just couldn't get my feet to move out properly and caught them on bent arms. I actually caught my foot on the mat (platform has mats on them) twice. Did a couple of back offs on 80 and they weren't too bad. Clean and jerks were OK; rusty but jerk felt snappy. Squats I did light, I plan on a decent squat session on Thursday, so just focussed on full range and a long pause. Nice to be back at it, hopefully get some decent numbers up soon if I stay injury/surgery free. Smashed now mind. | ||
