We had a pond in our back garden and I used to play with the frogs, tadpoles and newts, ooh and slugs, snails and earthworms. My mother was never a fan.

Oh I wanted a pond soooo much when I was little! Had to make do with finding woodlice and centipedes

100 for 5, not sure, need to get 100 for 1 first! Hoping I will get 105 or 110 soon though, then I need to be hammering the volume in the 80s and 90s. I need to work on my front squat as well though, it's hard to find the right balance.

Congrats on the squats! this got me all fired up, I want to try and get 100kg before you

Did you mean to say above that you need to work on your front squat as well, not your back squat? cause when i read that I had to go back to check that the 85x5 wasn't fs, that would have killed me lol

[redbuthotter]

God dam, juicy squats. GJDM? 100 must fall soon?

Lol? Where does Dave come from? Misc thing?

43 x fail -> something weird with my grip?
43 x 1 power
43 x 1 half power (best rep at 43 but not good by a long shot, just not retracting my hips after extension to get under the bar)

SQUATS!

[rlw31]

Great squats.

[redbuthotter]

Impressive squats. I wonder ^who^ will get to 100kg first!

[Becca]

Lol, I'm determined to stick to my programme, so aivi will probably win!

[shorty.loves.angels]

Jeeeeeeez. Nice work!


Edit: Quoted an old post

[redbuthotter]

You ladies should have a squat meet in summer to find out!

We'll see, I doubt I'm gonna get it at the end of my current program, 15kg increase in 1RM would be pretty big. But I'll break 90 definitely in a few weeks.

And if we manage to meet when you're in town for the olympics, we should definitely squat in addition to doing oly (you can coach me )

I want to do this, but I don't know if it will be possible for me logistically! I'd love a general fitness meet as well, don't see why we should be divided by sex the whole time.

I don't know if I'd be a very good coach. I can only regurgitate stuff my coaches tell me lol.

Good session tonight, bf equaled his snatch PB (80kg) twice so it made a nice atmosphere, plus one of our coaches was there so we got some feedback - haven't trained as a group for about 2 weeks. I didn't come close to failing any reps in a monster C&J session either.

Clean and Jerk
25 x 2
30 x 2
36 x 2
39 x 2
41 x 2
44 x 2
46 x 2
46 x 2
49 x 2
49 x 2
51 x 1
54 x 1 -> 1kg below my PB, no belt, so very easy

Hang snatch
I need to work on tekkers for getting under the bar, so I'll be putting these in a bit over the next few weeks.

15 x 3
25 x 3
25 x 3
25 x 3
25 x 2
25 x 1

Kept pulling with my arms on a lot of these. Need to work on vertical extension and getting under and down for all reps. Think this will be beneficial if I can nail the tekkers.

Took a break from squats today after yesterday's effort. Will be doing a 3x3 PB in front squats tomorrow.

haha sure, I just meant in regards to competition.... unless you wanna race to 180 FS

Aren't you around for olympics?? Surely lift then?

Quick question - if 54 is easy how do you hold back and not attempt PR's god dam... I have no restraint when it comes to stuff like that.

lol 180 FS

I'm around for the olympics for one night, then I have to go back to Cumbria to spend time with my family

I will be around in July, but only for 4 nights and have many friends to see. I shall see what our plans end up being.

R.e. PRs - I've learned from experience that it pays to be restrained, especially when I've just had a mega session. If I **** up I get so pissed off and it ruins the good feeling!
