Decided to try and spread my training over two days this time. The heat is getting to me.
Wednesday night
Decided to start with snatch whihc was a complete disaster. 40x3; 50x3; 55x3; 60x1 [+ 6 dropped snatches] 60x1. The 60 felt as tough as the 77.5 the other night. I dont know how anyone trains in the heat. It sucks the energy out of you.
Thurs night
Motivation strangely low but I started with power clean which went well. 40x3; 50x3; 60x3; 65x3; 70x3; 75x3; 80x3; 85x3; 90x3; 85x3; 80x3; 75x3. I havn't tried these since I hurt my back weeks ago power cleaning 97.5kg. I havn't lifted 100kg yet but may have got close tonight. I was pleased with 90x3. These were quite comfortable.
Rack Jerk: 40x3; 50x3; 60x3; 70x3; 80x3; 90x3. Very tough but happy enough. I didnt have the will to go for anything else.
Deadlift: 90x3; 110x3; 130x3; 140x10. Happy to get through this. We all have periods where lifting can be very tough.
good man, i did think about training earlier, but too hot, too many kids, wisely deferred to keeping them happy, then had to go out, but did a few imaginery lifts for good measure, maybe tomorrow........
ReplyDeleteI am amazed with your Thurs night training, can I borrow your time machine? ;)
ReplyDeleteMy advice for training in the heat. Drop the number of reps, take time between reps and if possible between sets stand near a fan (although I acknowledge few NI people probably have a fan). Thats how I (try to) cope over here.
90 x 3 power clean is super given your best C&J is 107.5
As for Sean....is it too hot to rearrange these four words? ass, up, the, kick ;)
hehehe
