back from my break with a good return to training lighter week this week in terms of volume only 4 sessions due to being away and also a lot less lifts in each session dont have the exact volume to hand but its a significant drop this week

todays session
snatch 65 for set 3 72.5 for set 2 77.5 for set 2 82.5 for set of 2
power clean doubles and jerk doubles set at 70,85, 92.5 and 97.5
back squat set 5 at 100 set 3 at 120, 130, 130 and 135

felt good today despite the few days off they were needed though nice easy week this week getting ready to crank up the volume again next week and of course the ul open........ i am not changing my programme for ul just going to train through and use it in place of my max or heavy day which usually takes place on a saturday anyway

fridays training

a good crowd in today coach roache was up apologies paidi if i spelt your name wrong sull was in acting the gowl with light weights and byrd was on the other end of the scale attempting pbs in the snatch again. i think there should be some videos in the next few day flosting around so you will see how close he came to some pbs anyway to my own bit

power snatch few double at 50 getting the feel for it then 70 for single then 75 for single
feeling much better now went 50 for a double in full snatch then 70 for a single 80 for a single 85 for as single 90 for a single then 95 for a single happy out back up to 95% of my best ever

then moved to some light power clean and jerk a few doubles around 50 then up to 80 for one power clean and jerk then a full clean and jerk then 100 for clean and jerk 110 for clean and jerk then 115 for clean and jerk

session done wanted to get 210 total before i went away this weekedn happy out back up around to some decent weights and no knee pain and twas at the end of a three week cycle so happy enough deloading next week with a reduced number of sessions and also less volume in sesions then its time to lay the plan in place and follow it through to get back to 100 and 120 hopefully in the 3rd week of the next cycle

go home yank tis my field

just before i start this is prob going to offend a lot people but sure fuck it its abuse time

1 thing i love is my sleep 1 thing i dont like is when that gets interrupted and it was last night severely went to bed early last night but cause of the fucking retards next door playing shit music and shouting and roaring til the early hours this got interrupetd !!!! its one thing getting my sleep disturbed and having to listen drunken eejits outside my window but to compound things they were fucking yanks and worst of all fucking posh dublin d4 heads.... they are all fucking med students seriously there are hundreds of people that want to do medicine why the fuck other than the money do we let a load of americans into our colleges train them and then they fuck off back to america after saving a fortune on their education and more importantly disturbing my sleep the day before my heavy session !!!!!!

so basically go home yank !!!!

ps my bashing of d4 heads will resume at some stage

i completely agree barry john

barry made a great point on his blog or in his blog hhhmmmmmm ??
we should have more training camps and i think one where we can succeed much easier is by getting us all together more to train ... so lads when and where ???
