worked on snatch progressions - pulling the finger out and learing how to properly clean and snatch

Pendelay rows 100kg x10/10, then kroc rowed x15
no dips today. Right shoulder overworked due to a couple of things. A: late saturday night, when im usually asleep, i found myself full of energy and dip a KB press+ Oly ring pullup complex - i guess thats what happens without blood sugar ups and downs
B: Sunday was my assessment day at my reenactment group, 4 hours of full contact sparing with blunt swords then to finish, a solid 5min fight - 10 opponents, 30 secs each NO PAUSE. And i had to finish this to pass, which i did, and was also upped a grade which is kewl
2 guys from my group - thats what i had to do non stop for 5 mins
So why are you training to became a knight?

dammit bird, those aren’t knights. Ever seen a dismounted non-armored knight with a buckler?
Sorry, I just had to jump on that. lol
lol, glad to see a fellow medieval nerd here. its a hobby, our group just holds itself to higher standards to be able to put on a better show, and kick other groups’ arses
5/5/R Squats, 150kg x10, then x 10/10/7
Failed on the 8th rep, but not pissed about that because the intensity of the sets and the muscle recruitment in hams and quads was unreal anyway
Goodmornings 3x10 65kg
Calves

5/3/R Clean and Press, 75kg x10 - YEAH BABY! then 87.5kg PR! IN THE FUCKING ZONE

Good work my meideval friend.
Your hitting those good mornings hard! Any reason for that?
Do you do any core work?
tweet
Caveman does heavy lifting for core!
I did a 3 rep Military press workout during my lunchbreak today (no warm ups just 80,82,85 for singles).
I’ll race you to 100kg strict and if you can’t beat a lanky fool who can’t stay tight then you can always blame it on the fact I outweigh you by 30 or 40kgs! (bw between 136-140 depending on time of day)
Oh, it is on motherfucker! and yes, you currently outweigh me by 30kgs (pretty sure thats all bone mass, though lol). Really squeeze all your leg and glute muscles - it really helps
Bird- Savikas Press, squats and other stuff does hit my core hard, and if im pissing about at home i’ll use my ab wheel, but Im not at the point where i think i need to hit it hard yet.
Light OHP day: Clean+press 66.5kg x10 - going up 1.5kg every 5/3/1/ cycle
Savikas Press 60kg 10x3 - not challenging yet, unracking it is a bit of a bitch though, fixed safety bars
Ring Pullups 5/5/5/4/4
Pendelay rows 3x10 105kg - next time, may go down to 65kg and do 20 rep sets, for fun
Diet: Tomorrow will be 2 weeks into this keto diet, no problems at all so far, feels great. Buying, marinading and then eating kilos of beef brisket is awesome. Will have to break it over the weekend though, as im visiting grandma
Got up late, only time for the main set
Squat 160kg x8 - good form, really hitting everything right, spreading hips like butter (that sounds wrong)
If i get the chance, will go back this eve and do pyramids etc
away for the weekend, thought I’d go nuts today
Clean+Press 80kg 20x1 - got to 10, just kept going
Ring pullups 15x3

Band pull-aparts 5x30
Squat 140kg x10, 150kg x8, 160kg x6, 170kg x4, 180kg x4 - badass
Back from Wales - being force fed sandwiches all weekend has seriously fucked my digestion

Had a brainwave re conditioning. At the moment its dark by the time i get out the gym - cant push the prowler. So why dont I do it BEFORE?!?!?!? duh.
Nice training man. getting real close to that 100 kg press.
What kind of rep scheme are you using on the snatch high pulls?
not sure yet, but i do want to go heavy on them, probably 10x3
Today 5/3/R squat. Felt like shit. breathless, bit dizzy, stomach cramps. I think i got a bit of compost or something in my mouth at work yesterday. I also forgot to take my caffeine tabs as well! Still managed it though.
Squat 145kg x5, 155kg x3, 170kg x5, 145kg x10, 155kg x8, 165kg x6 - form was good, at least
