Sean came up today [at last] so our intention was to try and max out.
Sean struggling a bit after 5 days of bulgarian and a dodgy shoulder so had to ease up a bit.
Snatch 40x3; 50x3; 55x3; 60x3; 65x1; 70x1; 72.5 xxx. Techique quite good up to 65. 70 not too bad but old habits creeping in. Still 7.5 below pb but technique is improving.
Clean and Jerk 40x2; 50x2; 60x2; 70x2; 80x2; 85x1; 90x1; 95x1; 100x1. I had to fight like hell for this. I can tell that my strength is a bit below par so this was far from easy tonight. Total 170kg @94kg body weight
Clean. After 100, I decided to try a few cleans 105x1; 110x1; 112.5xx. 110 was the hardest clean of my life but pleased to get it. Really wanted 112.5 to get Pete into heavy cleaning again. I couldn't rack the weight properly. The mind boggles when I think of Pete cleaning 161kg [unbelievable]
110 clean
112.5 Clean Attempt
Front squat 40x3; 60x3; 80x3; 100x1; 110x1; 120x1; 125x1 pb** 127.5 xx
Deadlift 80x5; 100x5; 120x3; 140x1; 160x1.
Press 40x3; 45x3; 50x3; 55x3; 60x3; 65x3

great session brendan thanks agan for all the motivation entusiasm and hospitality
ReplyDeleteGood job Brendan, sounded like an intense session. Must have been up for it, seen you were pacing outside etc.
ReplyDeleteYou have a 115kg clean in you with a little bit of honing on the technique.
125 front squat looked easy, was surprised to see you had failed 127 twice after seeing clip.
Not sure if I will max tonight or tomorrow. Spent the morning puking so not feeling on top form. May throw a coffee down my throat and see how it goes.
thanks Pete. It was great to see Sean as well. he was definately fatigued after 5 days in a row of bulgarian. He did some good pressing and deadlifting.
ReplyDeleteI really really had a go at 112.5 but wasn't strong enough. c+J a bit below par but that will improve. I actually hit my throat very hard with the bar at 110 and struggled all night with it. There must have been a bit of swelling inside.
sean - hopefully we can lift together a bit more often
ReplyDeleteWell done Brendan. Great lifting,great progress, and great things to come.
ReplyDeletecheers colin. i will soon be having difficulty c+J ing your snatch the way things are going. I liked ur very very easy 85. awesome
ReplyDeletehere who said i was fatigued! well my body or to be precice my bones were a bit sore, thats what i find now - the muscles recover much faster than the connective tissue
