I am finding these days I dont have time to fill in a regular blog, particularly with a home computer (that actually came free with the car I bought) that is on its last legs. Hopefully in the next couple of months I will be purchasing a mac lap top and saying goodbye to the world of PC.
Hope to pop in once a week and give a brief account of my lifting, the battles with getting older etc

Power Snatch: Warm up and then 5 sets of 2 @ 84kg
Squat Snatch: 93, 100
HPC&J: warm up and then 110, 120
Deadlift for 5s: Dont have convertor handy so 390, 400 and 410lbs
HPC&J my right clavicle pain flared up. If this takes as long to recover as last time any chances to lift well in November are over. Last time I couldnt clean or jerk for weeks and squat snatch even hurt when it was at its most painful. Looks like a few tedious weeks of back squats and deadlifts.

Stick to program
Snatch: 40, 50, 60, 75, 84, 93, 97, 102, 106, 108X, 108X, 108X, 102, 102
C&J: 60, 84, 100, 115, 125, 131X, 131, 131X, 131X, 131X, 131X
Was supposed to have been a light night but thought I was feeling pretty fresh so decided to go the following night. Snatches were OK, equalled post dislocation PB but need to get more. From 50-60kg knew I was feeling like it was worth having a bash at a max.
Legs were busted on 131 cleans, felt like low battery life light was coming on as I was coming out cleans and nothing left for jerks. Lesson learnt, stick to the program. Need to get these jerks popping up to get the target I want in November, going to be tight if I keep arsing around.

Muggy Monday
Worked 12hr in the lab and then came to the hot and humid gym to blow out the cobwebs. My thermometer is reading 26oC as I type this and its 2315.
Snatch: worked up to 95, 97, 100.
Nothing of real note. Trying to change starting position a little to be more consistent.
HPC&J: 115, 115, 120.
So humid by time I got to bar chalk had turned to paste. Near wrecked wrist on 115 HPC when bar slipped.
SC/HC: 140, 145, 147X
145 was fairly tough but if you dont ask you dont get 147. Got 147SC and racked 147HC but chicken legs came into effect.
DL sets of 5: 170, 175, 175.
Simon Campbell and I set up a challenge up to end of Oct so trying to push these on before his back heals and he kicks my arse.
BS sets of 5: 143, 143, 143.
Took it easy with these. Left hamstring was tight after DL and was apprehensive about pushing it.

Sat Session (Day 5)
Snatch: 40, 50, 60, 75, 84, 93, 97X, 100X, 93, 95, 97X, 93X, 60, 75, 84, 93, 97, 102X, 102X, 102X, 102X, 102X, 102X, 102X, 102X, 95, 97, 100, 102X, 104X, 104X
C&J: 60, 84, 93, 100, 115X, 115, 125X.
I was still feeling wrecked and hamstrings have been feeling strangely tight. A good friend is moving to S. Carolina and he had a leaving party last night and I was feeling a little under the weather from this today. I knew this max out session was always going to be a challenge. Snatches were sluggish and I need to look at the clips but felt like I could get a better pop in second pull, finish more and I was definitely having trouble moving feet out. Anything below triple figures for snatch on a max night is a failure for me so I got rather stubborn and kept banging away until I got the 100. The 104 was overhead but sitting out front.
Clean and jerks, the 125 clean was even a struggle. The back right hand side of my right knee has been giving me a nipping feeling now in last two sessions during cleans. I was just spent and knew going through multiple attempts was going to be like flogging a dead horse.
It has been a good few weeks now since I have hit reasonable weights and I have been having a few technical issues with snatch and the jerk. I suppose it is just a period where I need to keep banging away but last few days have been hard wrt motivation.
Glad tomorrow is a rest day
