*bit of a mess session, back was tired, 1 arm deadlifts were a bit messy!

My 6monthly run!

Decided I would spend a bit of time with Steph this morning and go for a run. Took 24mins and was approx 4.51k not a stellar time but we were gaming it a little. Lungs are still burnt.

Workout - Mon 23rd

Back on Matt's prog - week 3 day 1 (lower intensity week)
* I am still not push jerking after fucking up my right foot from whatever it was that I did previously

Push Press 90% of last week 4,4,4 65kg

Squat 90% of last week 4,4,4,4 110kg
(didnt do a 5th set as my back got a bit tight)

Barbell Row 90% of last week 4,4,4 62.5kg


Everything felt fine, bar the squats (need to address that but wink too!) Push Press and Rows were fine.

I did this at some stage last week...

23rd Apr - month review!

Serious lack of updates goign on. I hurt my back (again) around hte last time of the update - deadlifting 100kg's!! I didnt do to much but when I went to Sweden for the OPT cert, I trained most days and got a taste for it again (no stress from work either!)

Some highlights were;

Another 130kg front squat

Anze helping me with my Oly lifting

A 48kg chin up

And a 60kg snatch

Since I got home I've been back on Matts Strength Cycle and thats been going well (2 weeks in)

Squatted 140kg x 3

Push Pressing 72.5kg x 5 (improved my 'dip drive')

Power Cleaning is improving 85kg x 3 from the hang for 3 sets
