Good things come in 3s

DESTROYED after tonight....my 3rd posterior chain based PB this week!

Squats - Oly shoes/lowbar
200x9 - started to go faint on the 9th rep....strength wise it was fine but my chest was exploding....HEART ATTACK?

Bench
(125x5)x2 - no spotters with me tonight so did a couple of sets....was wrecked after squats anyways.

Did some chest press to make up the workload and some lat pulldowns....lots of band work also.....stretchy!
 
Went for it anyway and missed :( got halfway up but was a little forward on my positioning...fought with it for a while but in the end it won!

Next time :D
 
Ran out of time this morning so back tonight for benching, feet are firmly planted now as the feet up thing has run it's course :)

Bench
125 5x5
 
Veeery sore and tight today, feels good though :D disappointed in the 260 but c'est la vie.

Considering 2 plans now;

Plan A: Continue with the oly shoes, ditch the weekly 1rms and just do the volume work on Monday

Plan B: Revert back to my flat shoes.
 
If they are controlled and not massively grindy, they're fun.

A brutally fought 1RM is not - IMHO and for me - worth it, because I spark myself out for the next week or so whilst my nervous system calms down. Factor in any form breaks and you're not actually testing your X strength, but your ability to move a bar from A->B instead.

Anyway, the above is academic, because it's doesn't really apply to the snatch - only deadlifting/squatting (and CnJ) for me! :D

And I think it says more about how I train than anything else. :o
 
Wicked sinus infection took me down hard the past week.....starting to calm down now. Should be back at it tonight albeit a lighter session :)
 
Sickness has kept me from going hard in training, feeling a bit better though :) time to ramp it up again! :D

Bench and deadlift PB attempts targeted for Saturday 27th so a little more than 3 weeks to get my ass in gear!
 
Minor niggle in the lower back so gave the PC stuff a miss
