knowledge bomb number 2
When a kid desides he wants to be a formula one driver does he got put at the wheel of a formula one car straight away ????????? No so why should it happen in every other sport/ activity???
guess whos back with some knowledge bombs
Its been quite a while and lots has happened and I mean lots a hell of a lot I cant even talk about and some of it I dont want to ha. Had to hide the old blog there for a few weeks as was in the running for some jobs and the old spelling and culchieness would not be giving the best impression of me. So yes I was attempting to hide who I was but that aint going to happen again. I shall be singing this to myself in future.

yes i do give quite the version of this song. Now to drop some knowledge bombs
1. If it looks like shit and smells like shit it probably is shit but it could be just manky chocolate or even worse manky chocolate ice cream.
2.If it looks like vommint and smells like vommit it probably is vommit but it just be mushed up banaana and carrots or even worse banana ice cream with carrots in it
P.S. I love chocolate and bananas but dont flavour my ice cream and other products with this stuff

weightlifting according to murph part 1 (WOW WEIGHTLIFTING IS A SPORT)
Whats the difference between the programme of these two weightlifting ATHLETES
The training of weightlifter A
Snatch
Clean and jerk
front squat
Training of weightlifter B
Power snatch one floor, two below knee
snatch
snatch pull
snatch press
back squat
20-30 jumping exercises
First time you answer this question, there is a lot of differences. Now read below.
1. weightlifting is a sport like football, soccer, rugby, hurling or any other.
2. Athletes must possess strength, power, speed, flexibility, mobility, work capacity and many other elements. Are these components of fitness or a skill or is at all the same ?
3. Athletes of each sport require various combinations of each of those components (dependent on phase of season/ stage of career/ previous history/ individual/ tactical and way to many other reasons)
4. For an athlete to succeed they must practice their sport/ skills in conjunction with improving their all round physical capabiities or do they improve their physical capabilities while practicing their sport/ skills.
Re-read many times with an open mind.
For the discussion of Weightlifting training/ programming it is more important that they orrespond/ adhere/ follow basic sound DEVELOPMENTAL sporting principles that are relevant to all other sports rather than focusing on soviet or bulgarian methods or how often we should lift maximum weights.

8 weeks to a better me ????
unfortunately i have to come to terms with how bad my groin injury actually is. I will be a number of months before I am back lifting heavy weights. It has taken quite some time and very very boring stretching, core and foofoo bollox exercise to get me there and it appears it will take quite a lot more of this time. Last week i squatted the empty bar which was pretty exciting yes that is very sad. This week i am going to progress to 40kg in a squat which i cant wait for. I have to accept that attempting max snatches and clean and jerks are a long way away.
during this injury i have been doing a lot of thinking and actually some college work for a change and i Have come to the realisation that weightlifting is what i want to do. I always thought i would be happy weightlifting for a few more years and then return to the hurling or rugby pitch but alas i dont think that is going to happen. Weightlifting is what i enjoy the most and is what i want to stick at.
I cant wait to get back training properly and when i do I am going to train myself into the ground and work harder than ever before in the gym weightlifting and doing all that foofoo garbage. I will be 100% anal about my diet my recovery everything when i get the chance to get back lifting there will be no holding me back. I have come nowhere near accomplishing what i want to in the sport of weightlifting and I am not giving up yet. Whatever i achieve will be nothing in comparison to the best irish lifts ever and certainly not internationally but I have numbers in my head that i want to lift and i will keep going til i hit those numbers. I have numbers in my head that I want to do but when i write them down and look at them i think fuck it sure why not aim for more. I will not set a target total like i have beeing doing for too long I will get strong and train my balls off and lift whatever i can and that will be my maximum.
So thats the future so what about the present I need something to train for the next 8 weeks while I am getting myself back together readying myself to make shit of myself in pursuit of some bigger numbers.
Cardio ?
Upper body strength training ?
An inordinated amount of foo foo core garbage ?
I need a goal to train for for the next 8 weeks I cant simply just train for the sake of it I need something to aim for to motivate me and prevent me from being a mess. What will I train for help me ???

as bjk would say i fucking love weightlifting
In the past couple of weeks when i have been unable to train properly and as a re
sult i have come to the realisation that i love weightlifting. I have been able to return to somehwat normal weightlifting training. So what seperates weightlifting training from the general rubbissh i have been doing for the past few weeks.
1. Using enough weight that you can hurt yourself with. Lets face it there aint much things more fun than moving heavy weight. As a weightlifter you are able to tioss around and overhead a lot more weight than you really shoukd. When you are like me and incredibly weak at all pressing movements or any general upper stuff you cant handle enough weight to hurt yourself.. You cant beat the bit of body english.
2. A good bit of brusing around your pelvis. Yes a very strange thing to miss but i miss this feeling. You cant beat the feeling of the hips hitting in and under the bar good times.
3. Simialr to the previous one nice red thighs from cleans or clean pulls. Pretty strange feeling put shiney raw thighs always make me feel like i have had agood days work in the clean.
4: muscle soreness in my lower body what a great feeling. The past few weeks have revolved around very boring upper body shite and very lil lower body work.
So basicallu i love weightlifting cause i can hurt myself but i have been unable to weightlift cause i am injured wow weightlifters are all fucking crazy
