Have been criplled since saturday my back has been killing me walking around is ok but stairs and sitting down not that big a fan of them !!!
anyway coach roache is in the hood for the next few days so said i had to train ...
went in not really able to sit down or do anything but with a decent lot of empty bar stuff i was able to power snatch from blocks with no pain so off i went
power snatch from blocks 70 for 3, 72.5 for 3, 75 for 3, 75 for 3, 75 for 3
snatch pull from blocks 90 for 4, 95 fo r4, 95 for 4, 95 for 4,
snatch push press behind the neck 75 for 4, 80 for 4, 80 for 4, 80 for 4,
was feeling good now so said would give some front squat a bash ended up doing 5 by 5 at 110 in the front squat so was quite happy with this all in all did not have to vary the session that much from what monday session is anyway
twas supposed to power snatch from floor then two from below the knee, pulls as i had done, press as i had done and then back squat.
Relatively happy with how i went and back felt a hell of a lot better after it. Writing this at my desk now and feeling relatively good will prob take today off and then try some full snatch tomorrow and some jerk and just keep hoping the back settles down

getting back on track
having a good start to the week
monday
power snatch one floor 2 from hang 72.5, 72.5, 72.5, 72.5, 72.5
snatch pull from below kneeX4 90, 90, 90,90
snatch push press X4 75, 75, 75, 75
back squat 130 for 5, 130 for 5, 130 for 5, 130 for 5, 130 for 10
may have been still drunk when i rocked up for this training session ha the squats sobred me up and a after a trip to speak to god on the big white telephone after the last set i was flying
tuesday
red bull energy shot into me before training got a heap of these free at the weekend mighty stuff !!!
snatch 70 for 2, 80 for 2, 87.5 for 1, 92.5, 95, 97.5 felt quite good in the snatch
back down for 5 double at 85 missed only one lift
jerk from blocks 90 for 2, 105 for 1, 110 for 1, 115 for 1, 117.5 for 1, 120 for 1
back down for 5 doubles at 105
i felt as if there was more there in the snatch and jerk in terms of singles and double however i am being patient and not going to jump more than 2.5kg a week i am going to take it slowly and work on getting lots of good quality lifts in and hopefully with this patient approach i can get some progress longterm wise.
i feel as if i can equal or maybe break my pbs at the moment but i feel as if i need to hold back and be patient and keep nailing the repeated doubles as well as nailing some heavier single so when i do break them i give them a good shattering
wednesday
clean 80 for 3, 100 for 2, 110 for 1, 115 for 1, 120 for 1, 120 for 1, 120 for 1
back down 5 sets of 2 at 110
all of these cleans were surprsingly easy i fought the temptation to go 122.5 for the last few and resisted the urge to go 115 for a few doubles. I NEED TO KEEP THINKING LONG TERM and resist the APOLLO CREED MENTALITY OF THERE IS NO TOMORROW.
Clean pulls 125 for 4 sets of 3
push press 75 for 4 sets of 4
weighted sit ups 3 sets of 10

playing hide and go seek with doms and losing
gotten kinda lazy with this the past few weeks so just a quick update on the life of murph !!!
had a comp last weekend in the old capital of ireland even though it aint in Ireland anymore regardless of what that crazy hurling wielding nordy says
travelled up the night before to dub and relaxed and had a good sleep and then got up very early ..... i would not be the fondest of getting up early but this was worth it as i had a two hour long journey with king john and coach lee to look forward to.... what can be said about king john what a guy what an enigma some of the stories he told about old lifting were epic . got to the capital anyway and weighed in at 79.6 carrying a bit of holiday weight of late hahaha
comp went well 98 and 115 .... 115 is a shite result in clean and jerk but i tried the jump from 115 to 122 but alas it didnt work ...
training started again this week as in proper training loads of lifting loads of squats loads of presses... enjoying being back to proper training now and i can feel some good lifts about to come soon .
each day i have went into training this week walking like a duck with really stiff sore hamstring and glutes the legs dont want to function but after a few horrible over heads with the empty bar i am off and into it again
this week did trebles in power snatch and power clean and then 3 singles in snatch, clean and the jerk before coming abck down for 5 doubles simple enough really feeling some muscle soreness for the first time in months haha.
OH AND FINALLY A PB IN THE BACK SQUAT FOR A SINGLE I GOT 170 KG SO I AM PRETTY HAPPY WITH THAT I TOOK 175 THEN BOTTLED IT AND THEN 175 AGAIN AND JUST HIT A STICKING POINT AND COULD GO NOWHERE
HERE IS VID OF THE 170
HEHE NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
