50kg got stuck just above my nose, sooo annoying cos I know I can do it. Didn't want to grind it though cos I already had a pretty grindy rep on the previous set. I will defo get this next week idc
No sleep last night, went on a likkle adventure (took photos of the night sky down near Brighton). Also played 2 hours of basketball before training lol.
Power Clean + Power Jerk: 40kg x2 45kg 2x1 50kg x1 55kg x1 60kg x1
Pretty much all PRs cos I've never really done power jerks before. Didn't bother doing full C&J (split) cos again I was too rekt so did this for fun lol. Didn't expect to hit 60kg so easily
Got some pretty good advice on how to setup. I'm sure I can make this weight as on the second attempt I got it about halfway up - been feeling like crap all day so as long as I'm good next week, I'll defo make it.
Kinda hard tbh but my front squat is feeling very solid. I might start using a belt for sets above 90% on backsquat. I've done this weight for 5x5 in the past which is annoying
OHP: 30kg x3 40kg x3 45kg x3 50kg x1 (PR) 40kg x9
50 wasn't even that grindy, upper body progress has been pretty consistent

Accessories: BW pullups 5x6, lat pulldown
Up your lower body volume, not seeing enough of it where you typically do at least two upper body accessory movements each day. (Oly lifts don't count as lower imo)

I think you're right, but I have been squatting 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks or so. Doing some extra pulls should help cos I haven't pulled anything that heavy in months
I might be struggling with the back squat simply because I'm only doing it once a week but I don't see myself doing it twice a week along with fronts twice a week currently without a decent calorific surplus. I'm still maintaining without major problems with progression, at least with upper body. Gunna finish this programme and see what my numbers are first

You might aswell jump into a surplus and get to it tbh, you won't have this kind of freedom as you get older Make the most of it. Much smarter to cut with reduced training frequency if you had to choose.

Ahh man I really don't wanna go into surplus just yet cos I usually just get fat lool. I've lost 7kg and I'm not even lean at all atm. Think I'll stick to maintenance for at least a few more weeks and see what happens
Screwed up recovery on 3rd jerk at 60kg. Shoulders were feeling pretty bad even at 40kg, so I wasn't keen on sitting in the split position for too long. I.e. Basically I'm sure I can do 3 solid reps when I'm 100%.
Don't even know whats going on tbh, tore a callous. Really struggling with holding the bar overhead with the wide grip, my wrists are due to explode soon ffs
