Saturday 27th Feb

Arrived to find some other guys training already, so went a bit off plan.

Shield carry
1*10m
Bit of a retarded way to start. Felt something sore in my upper back for the rest of the session.

Car deadlift (side handle)
Ford escort*5,5,5
Not especially heavy but useful to practice the technique.

Farmers' walk (thick handles)
70kg*30m
90kg*30m
110kg*30m
130kg*5m
130kg*5m
Last two sets not to failure/limit but grip was really struggling. I don't honestly think I could go very far at all without a drop. On a positive note, pickup was pretty smooth, as it should be.

OFSTED, as in the school inspectors. Not sure how familiar you are with the reaction they provoke in most schools, but it isn't pretty.

Everything felt pretty smooth. 260 felt as good as it ever has. For a moment tempted to do something stupid, but thankfully logic took over.

Squat (high bar, no belt)
140kg*5,5,5

Given the circumstances, a pretty pleasing session. Hopefully get in for a longer session on Thursday.

Axle c&p
60kg*5,5
80kg*3
100kg*1
110kg*1
120kg*1
130kg*f,f - clean both efforts fine but no real snap in the jerk. No more goes at this for a while. Strictly reps for the next few weeks.

Farmers' walk - thick handle
70kg per hand*40m
70kg*40m
110kg*20m
130kg* pickup and hold
140kg*pickup and hold
Grip is the limiting factor here, so I will do these for a few weeks. Maybe go heavier next week also.

Medium Tyre - a few sets

Barrel carry (? weight) 20m*5 sets
Fairly easy but good for conditioning and foot speed I hope.

Wednesday 24th March
20 minutes cardio, trying to get some active rest as various bits are sore from yesterday. Not the buttocks, I might add.

Can't say I feel much better for it, but I'm sure it's good for me.

745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq		Saturday 27th March

No one to train events with today so decided to skip the drive to Northwich.

Warmup
Light Squats and hang cleans

Deadlift
100kg*5
140kg*5
180kg*2
220kg*1
240kg*1
260kg*1 - bit of a grinder today
Deadlifting so early doesn't seem to suit me much. I should probably have used less weight, more volume and worked on drilling setup etc.

P/clean and p/press
60kg*5,5
80kg*5
100kg*1
105kg*1
110kg*1
115kg*split clean! - I seem to do these inadvertently from time to time. Not a problem but they do get some funny looks.
Burnt out pretty quickly again. Went to do some lighter push presses from rack but suddenly everything felt heavy, so left it.

Circuit 1
Incline bench/pullups
50kg*5/bodyweight*4 - 3 sets
60kg*5/bodyweight*4
70kg*5/bodyweight*4

Circuit 2
DB power snatch/back squat
17.5kg*5 each arm/100kg*5
22.5kg*5/100kg*5
30kg*3/100kg*5
Decline bench 60kg*5/30kg*3/140kg*3
Decline bench 60kg*5/30kg*3/140kg*3

Fun session. Overhead feels pretty strong, got some good conditioning work done.

Hopefully will get confirmation on competitions soon, so I can get some impetus and focus.
