had a good session today last few days have been quite at training and kinda boring as byrd has been away whoring and touring in the city of sin so was good to have a bit of life around the platform with fatz and sull being about. fatz double biceps pose was the most impressive piece of sausage posing i have seen in a long time.
warm up empty bar work and some slow bodyweight squats, few glute bits and pieces and ankle shite,
power snatch and power snatch from below the knee 40,40,40,60,70,70,75,75,75,75,75
snatch pull from floor and two snatch pull below the knee 87.5, 87.5, 87.5
snatch deadliftx3, 97.5,.97.5, 97.5
back squat 3 sets 10 at 70
good session knee feeling quite good so happy out power snatch coming together again liking the more muscular type stuff as well to add a bit of mass around the hamstrings, glutes, lower back to hopefully keep me in one piece. plan to train tomorrow evening with a similar session to today except with the power clean in stead of power snatch and some push press in stead of squats
over and out

getting back into it
mondays session aim to relearn the jerk for the last time i hope ???
double jerk from the blocks 50,50,70,70,90,100,100,100,100,100
push press 50x3, 50x3, 70x3, 80x2, 90x1, 90x1
back squat 3 sets 10 at 50
happy with the push press its close to where it was before i got injured. its going to be a slow precoess getting back to some decent weights in order to put myself in a decent position for nationals in april so not going to rush anything jsut take it nice and slowly but not easy. going to def concentrate on more muscular work ie doubles trebles around 75-85% ish for the moment and slowly build back up the tolerance.
2 and a half hours after my first lot of squatting and jerking and no stiffness to report so happy out. knee sorted laptop to be fixed next part take over the world !!!!

power snatch 75,75,80
snatch pulls one floor two below knee 85,85,85

a quick powerful return to fun
fridays session was great to get back into some sort of lifts i decided to just ease back into it with some power snatch from the blocks and power clean from the blocks
i did 3 doubles with 70 in power snatch and 3 doubles with 90 felt so good to get to doing some decent lifting. going to train every second day for next while just to give the knee lots of chance to recover between sessions. saturday will be an off day and then hope to try some power snatch from the floor and power clean and jerk from the floor on sunday.
have a fun evening of watching the x faxtor in work tonight ahead of me what a show that will be combined with putting the finishing touches to my espn game station which should be really detrimental to my studies but so worth it
this is the espn game station well worth it http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-ESPN-Gamestation/dp/B00020QJF8

there is a lot to be said for a nice bungalow !!!
bless me blogger it has been around 4 days since my last blog entry
tuesdays training stupid bodybuilding
shoulder press 3 heavy sets of 3
duumbell chest supported row 4 sets 10
high cable row 3 sets 10
one arm dumbell press 3 sets 6 each side
various shoulder felxibility and scap rubbish
10 mins on the bike
wednesdays training not a whole lot more exciting than the previou days shite
shoulder press 5 sets 5
seated row 10, 8, 6, 4 then 10, 8,6,
tricep push downs and curls
10 mins on the bike trying not to fall asleep from the sheer boredom
who wants to cycle a bike inside i have decided if i ever own a gym or run a place there will be no stationary bikes or treadmills and if anyone asks where the bikes are there will be a mountain bike in the corner and you will be more than welcome to use it and if the treadmill question comes up you will be swiftly pointed to the door and shown to a field to run around !!!!
went to a physical therapist on friday about my knee got examined anyway and was going grand he said have some joint swelling and some bone bruising thinking to myself ah grand not so bad might do some power snatch later and some light squats to take it easy like and then he says oh and ........ i think you might have done some damage to your acl :( very very unimpressed with this news !!!!! there goes any thoughts of fun training ......he wants to refer me to this other doctor so have an appointment with the doctor on this coming friday. i am allowed to cylcle a bke yipppeeee so much fun ............. NOT !!!!! and i get to aqua jog if i want talk about a snooze fest i cant bring myself to aqua jog so cycling on stationary ike going nowhere liek a stupid lil hamster it is.
i play soccer hurling rugby you name it i played it for years then take up weightlifting and how do i hurt myself walking down a f***ing stairs..... fingers crossed now for the next days that it aint anything serious.
i really wanted to go back doing a bit of decent training but when i heard the words acl mentioned i kinda decided it would be beyond stupid to try do anything til i get the all clear
i am finding it so boring just going to the gym and doing upper body crap it so hard to motivate oneself its hard to believe that the majority of the people in the gym happily do this day after day i find it mind numbingly boring.
the worst part of it is i started this bloody blog and all i am getting to put on it is fukcing presses curls and rows not very exciting huh

damn you stairs
spent the morning iceing my knee and getting myself up for training was feeling great no pain walking around the place was thinking to myself ah grand knee pain gone happy days then bam back to reality 40 kg power snatch from blocks ow ow owie
ah maybe power clean 40kilo owie not a runner here !!! thought ah well some snatch pulls or clean pulls from the blocks nope owie getting annoyed by now had to resort to some romanian deadlifts did sets of 3 at 40,80,110,130,140 for 2, not sure why i went so heavy but kinda wanted to lift something kinda heavy cause all that bodybuilding stuff that was ahead is well boring......
said would try some snatch grip push press got up to 90kg but felt liek a pretty pointless exercise so stopped it, did some dumbell rows 3 sets 10, some high pulley cable rows and some heavy sets of 4 in dumbell alternate curl fun fun..........
not being able to train has really pissed me off the last few days its strange that what i did the last few days was how i would have trained when was a complete newbie allbeit with a few more curls and some half squats, i dont think i could ever see myself back training like this again i really cant wait to do some decent lifting again.
i also made a vow to byrdie not the wedding type before anyone gets carried away i vowed that i would never complain about squatting again and seen as this is set in stone or little computer type stone i guess i gotta stick to it.
just finished my session and then found out had to personal train ah pooor poor dan got a awful flogging of intervals, hopefully the big Z can help me along and i dont mean zydrunas zawhattever i cant spell the rest of it i mean the big Z from surfs up inspirational man
