Report Card: Showed progress but could do better

Push Press: 190lb for sets of 10, 9 and 7.



Glad to get one set of 10 which is a small PB. Annoyed to drop off in the next two sets. Maybe I should follow the programme a little better and for second and third sets do the drop down sets that are set out on the programme rather than staying at the same weight.

Clean and push press: 205, 225, 235X, 240X, 240X, 240 (109kg), 245X





Glad to get a small PB. Annoyed to miss the 245 and to take three attempts to get the 240.

Cleans: 125, 134, 134, 134, 140.



The last couple of months of niggly injuries have reaffirmed my previous observations that once I walk away from the bar it feels like my muscles start wasting away. These cleans were horrible both in the pull and the speed of the pull under and the rack. The shake of the head after struggling to get out of 140 just says it all. Must try and get back to consistent squatting, pulls and deadlifts before I become a complete pussy at cleans and have to change the title of my blog.

  1. Dont be so hard on yourself - you are only just back from injuries ( plural). You`ll be back in time at all.
