I have one in Feb, might take you on! Need to catch you up and get into the 300 total club. Nice comments on the pendlay fourm, I don’t think that guy has a clue where you’re coming from.

Alright, early new year it is. And I almost feel bad for the part I played in sending that thread careening off course over there haha.
121215 training (first session in a week)
Snatch 83, missed 86 five times (PR attempts)
Clean and Jerk 100
Felt good to be back. Didn’t push the volume too much today.
121228 - first session in a while due to junky hips
Front Squat - max single then doubles
60 5
70 3
80 3
85 2
90 2
97 1
102 1 [really tough, grinder]
85 2
85 2 [better]
90 2
97 2
104.5 2
Really weird session today, since I managed to double more than what I singled. On another note, my legs and hips felt better after that session and I should be ok to start training more frequently again.

I saw some lifters from his club at a comp. Apparently he is traveling at the mo. He still posts on pendlay I believe.
Ed were you at the London open on the 1st of Dec?

Yeah, you’ll see him pop up on pendlayforum every now and then. Pretty infrequently though.
And I’m going to hazard a guess his “secret training” was either something inspired by Abadjiev/Woodhouse, or something a little off the wall. Either way it’s not something that particularly intrigues me.

Nah, saw them at the northern open.
How’s lifting, jonty?

It’s alright, nothing too crazy. Been trying to do a little more volume, going to get back into some heavy doubles and singles heading into the comp in 4 weeks. Basically took a week off around the holidays (moved back into my parents house and was on an extended carb-up/cheat meal), but I was snatching 120 for 3 and hitting 150 for 3 cleans plus 2 jerks. Hopefully that’ll translate into some heavier weights and PRs come comp time.
How about you? How’s training?

Had 2 weeks off after my last comp. Injured my neck thanks to my thoracic locking up. So I’ve done much the same as you, lots of cheat meals haha. Santa got me a magimix, so I’ve been making some high calorie drinks. Blended half a litre of ice cream 250ml of milk and 6 milky ways. As a result I’m 98kgs!
Not holding to much hope for my comp in Feb, yesterday was first proper training in a while. As a result I’ve got major doms. Long as I get a 260 comp total by May I’m happy. Sleep is a little hindered at the moment thanks to my 14 week old puppy deciding to wake us up at 7am.
121231
Power Clean + Jerk
50 3/3
70 2
80 x
70 3/3/3/3/10
Went in with the intention to clean and jerk, but the bottom of my squat didn’t feel good so I power cleaned instead. I haven’t really done any power variations for a while, so they felt like I was pulling really high. Worked up to something that felt good and did triples. I went for max reps on the last set and got 10 lol

Yes, I suspect you are right.

Don’t see much of Andy around the o-lifting forum these days. Think he still posts elsewhere on the site and you see him sporadically over on pendlayforum, but besides that, beats me.

I am here. Just perusing lately. Right now I’m not really Olympic lifting… well I am but the main focus is conditioning as I’m prepping for a police academy thingy, so not really posting much workouts.

Equal pb from today. Got 110/130 no misses. Both equal pb for power moves. 130/150 shouldn’t be too far away on full lifts.

Back Squat from pins set at sternum height (aka playing around) up to 165 for a double

150 clean at a whopping 97kgs, might have a bit of Xmas weight. Pretty happy with this, been training for the last two weeks with no rest. Had also taken my dog over the fields for the second time in its life this morning, so my legs were tired (sad but true).
