Last night got 3hr sleep trying to get a work deadline ready for a 9AM meeting. Got home after work, went to sleep for an hour, had a snack and then threw two cups of coffee down my throat and got to gym about 2330. Given the lack of sleep and the late hour I decided to shake things up and have a more fun filled session rather than struggle through what was set out for today on the programme.
Barry K 20 rep 100kg challenge: This felt like a fun challenge until about the 6th or 7th rep when I realised a third lung would have been handy. Managed to struggle through.
(Got it videoed but wont seem to upload to youtube at the moment)
Idea for this came from Barry K's last trip away when one of the foreign lifters did this. We did some exercises like this in St. Gabriels with Laurence every so often to mix things up. One was seeing what weight you could do for ten reps in squat snatch. Another was a pyramid which was quite tough.
Cleans: 125, 134, 143X, 143X, 143, 143X, 143.
Trying to get my cleans back to where they were. Pulls and leg strength have weakened significantly due to forced inactivity in exercises that would work on these. I also found the groove is just not completely there yet and the mental cues I take during the lift are off a little.
