Budo's Weightlifting/GPP Log

Hi, I’ve been training the O. lifts for 3 months and doing regular weight training for a year.

My best deadlift is 141 kg, and my best bench is 82 kg, though I haven’t pushed the envelope for those lifts in more than 3 months. I wanna change that.

On the snatch my “top” lifts is 50 kg and on the clean and jerk 40 kg. I have a harder time with the clean and jerk technique. I love the challenge of both lifts, but I know I have a long way to go to make them decent. Today, I’m ending a training hiatus of 2 weeks, brought up by college pressure. I train the Olympic lifts at college, with a coach, 3 times per week. The training program is of moderate intensity with high volume.

I restarted training today with a low intensity session.
