Friday [2 bags of nuts+crisps+2 eclairs]+3 meals

Nice 4 mile walk to start the day. Breakfast downtown. Went to local leisure centre and did some light work to make up for yesterdays shambles.

Diet

Still havn't sorted this out yet. First year ever to have a gut. I have managed to build some muscle and strength but dont like the gut. I cant and dont want to become a super heavy weight lifter. Today I bought a journal to write/record what I am going to eat everyday. I want some one to insult me and slag me off for being a fat git. That might get me going!!!!

QWA Week 3 Day 1

Snatch 42x3; 47x3; 52x3; 52x3; 57x3; 62x2. miss half of these forward. Skipped the rest which is something I never do. Bad form, bad form,bad attitude, things bugging me, got a touch of flu, swine flu, bird flu?? -not a good combo for lifting

Power Clean 40x3; 50x3; 60x3; 70x3; 80x3; 90x1; 85x3; 85x3; 85x3; 85x3. Feeling slow and weak but managed to get these.

Front Squat 55x3; 65x3; 75x3; 85x3; 95x3; 107; 102x2; 107x1; 95x3; 95x3

QWA Week 2 Day 3

Snatch
42x3; 47x3; 52x3; 57x3; 62x3; 65x3; 62x2. these weights are feeling light hence hard to resist power snatching. I need to do a hell of a lot of work on my technique although I only dropped one tonight.


Clean and Jerk 45; 55; 65; 75; 85 [1+2]; 92.5 [2+1]; 92.5 [1+2]; 85 [2+1]


Front Squat 45x3; 55x3; 65x3; 75x3; 85x3; 95x3; 107x2; 115x1; 125x1 xxxx. I didnt follow the programme to the letter because I wanted to test the knee especially since I have only started doing full front squats. Just missed 125 which was very encouraging

Deadlift 100x3; 120x3; 140x3; 160x1; 180x1; 202.5x1 xxxx. I decided to give these a go as I hadn't tried them for over a month properly. 180 was easy but I went for a pb of 202.5 which was not on tonight. This would have been special as I got 200kg at 19yrs in Queens PEC many years ago.

QWA WEEK 1 DAY 1
