Snatch 60x1, 65x1, 70x1fff

CG OHS 70x3x3

Good day today, I'm please with making about 7.5kg progress in the C&J in one week and cleaning my previous max. Ok I missed the jerk but I haven't been front squatting recently so my legs are a little weak in that area. I was pretty tired after that though so snatching was tough and a bit of a waste of time. I think I will just snatch then C&J every session instead of alternating them.

C&J 75x1, 85x1

Unsurprisingly a shitty day as I spent most of the weekend lifting. It was a great cert though, well worth it for the experience and all the info and coaching. I will take a couple more rest days and see how I feel.

C&J 80x2, 90x1, 100x1, 105x1/c/f

Pull Ups bw x10x3

Felt ok today but took it a little easy. I'll go heavier on Thursday. I think I really need more speed in the snatch.

Tuesday 17.08.10

BS 60x5, 80x5, 100x5, 125x5x3

Press 40x5, 70x3x3, 70x2, 65x7

SN-pull 80x3x3,

3-pos cl 80x3

Good day, I started using a belt on BS again. I really prefer using one for work sets. It really does make a big difference to my stability coming out of the hole. I'm really pleased with my press, last time I tried pressing 70kg was about a year ago and I really struggled to get one rep, I'm getting closed to that BW press I had forgotten what pullling work I was supposed to do after pressing so just did some form of pulls.

Thursday 19.08.10

SN 40x5, 60x2, 65x1, 70x1, 75xff1, 80xfff

C&J 80x2, 90x2, 100x1, 110xff

I nearly stuck the first jerk with 110, I lost if forward though. I ran out of time so didn't do Sn -bal as planned.

C&J 70x2, 80x2, 90x1, 100xfff, 90x2

Crappy day, felt really tired and slow. I think I have a cold coming on. I'll see how I feel tomorrow and if it's worse then take an extra rest day.

[James Bailey]

SN 40x5, 50x3, 60x2, 70x1, 75xf/1/f/f/1/1/1/f/1/1

C&J 70x3, 90x2, 100x1x3, 105xf, 100xf

Bear complex 70x3x2

I felt shit on Tuesday so took my extra rest day. Today felt better, still a little slow but not too bad. Tried doing a little more volume instead of high intensity. I am doing a workout with the gym as a demo at this sport night on Saturday so I tested the Bear with 70kg as we have to do three rounds with heavyish weight and make it look relatively easy, after SN and C&J 70kg felt light. I skipped SN-bal due to lack of time. Might do that on Friday.

[James Bailey]

FS 60x3, 80x3, 100x3, 120x2, 117.5x2/2, 115x3x2

PP 60x3, 80x2/3/2

DL 70x3, 90x3

Prowler 80kg 20m x3

Felt pretty tired today, everything felt really heavy. Haven't really done PP for a few months so they sucked. I think I should put PP and RJ into my program as I feel I'm not doing enough pressing. That is probably why jerks feel so damn heavy.

Sportnight demos in Basel.

PP 60kg x 6

KB Sn 24kg x 8

Walking lunge with 20kg water bag 9 steps

4 rounds

rest 30 mins

500m Row 1:32

Fucking conditioning...hard...I came in about a minute slower than the quickest guy in the above workout, not bad as I was using more weight and don't really do conditioning. Or even the latter exercises really.

Good Morning

CG OHS 70x3x2

Nice light day, I have been feeling pretty worn out the past two weeks and my appetite is a bit suppressed. I have the feeling I've been overtraining a bit. I am changing my schedule to three days with roughly the same volume of training as I have been doing but spread over three days instead of four to give me less events to recover from in the week. I think that will work better. Well I fucking hope it will work better, it did work well earlier this year until I got injured. I guess it'll work again and then I can build up the volume later.

DL 130x1, 140x3x3

Rows 30kg x12x3

Slightly better day but still slow. Squats felt really heavy and didn't get a good groove so stopped.

[James Bailey]

SN 40x5, 50x3, 60x2, 70x1, 75xfff

BS 50x5, 80x5, 100x1, 130x2

Felt awful today, this may have something to do with going out drinking three nights in a row and only getting 15hours sleep between Friday night and tonight. Had a headache going in to training that got worse as I progressed and couldn't concentrate or really push anything. Figured it was a better idea to go home.
