When you say “friendly rivals” does that mean you can be competitive against him, cos that would make you one strong and fast mofo. That boy can lift!

I wish! Nah… the top lifters from our club are reasonably competitive with the top lifters from their club, but they still beat us most of the time. Ben is/was the national champion, so he’s on another level altogether.
I’m still a newb compared to those guys, as the numbers show:
55 and 75kg’s are going to be my opening weights for the comp comming up on Saturday. Snatches and Jerks are not as consistent as i’d like. Better spend the next few days ironing the wrinkles out.

I know eh? I like how it’s he same weights and everything each work out. I love the progression.
In other news: I’m next to positive he doesnt actually DO the training he posts, if he trains at all. Im positive he just posts it to get us flapping about how much of a toolbox he is. It’s not that i dont think he’s daft enough to train that way but I imagine he has more self interest than that.
And if he does train as posted im sure it looks more like:
8" front squat supramaximal holds/slow jerk drives
45/2
95/1
135/1
forgot my bloody keys for the oly bars and weights tonight - well pissed off!!!
Back squat 190 2x2
Bent over row 100 4x6
Incline D/bell Press 40x 3x8
Done
Not happ as I was feeling pretty pysched when I set off for the gym and wa hoping to do a fairly heavy c&j. Chances are now that I’ll be that stiff come Wednesday that I’ll not be able to do anything decent without it looking like a bloody mess
this day was supposed to be saturday, but the iPhone 3G [S] launch on friday killed my weekend endeavors. I worked nearly 50hrs in 4 days, and I live a fricken hour from that store, so lifting saturday morning wasn’t on the game plan as I had hoped.
anyhow -
PowerSnatch + OHS
40x2+2
45x2+2
50x2+2
57x2x3
Snatch

60x2x2
67.5x1x2 [I think I actually did a technically perfect (or as perfect as I’ve come) snatch on these two]
72.5x0x3 [almost had it 2nd attempt lost it forward standing up, will fix for saturday]
70x1
71x0 [LAME]
Snatch pulls superset w/ Jerk from Racks [running low on time in the gym]
pulls were - 75x2x4 and 85x1x4
Jerks from rack were
60x2
72.5x2x2
81x2x3
didn’t get to do my back squats. those will be added tommorow.
felt good today. First off, I’m definitely a firm believer in Alpha-GPC now. Felt SO explosive it was crazy.

O rLy?
You should totally keep a firm log on how your shit improves and what sessions you take the GPC shit and ones that you dont. We all need to hear the review on this shit for a month or however long you’re taking it. esp on ME days. That would be dope if this stuff were the hot shit for OLing.

I’ve not taken it a few days and definitely felt the difference

what made it worse is that the club has dedicated training sessions in the gym were we train, but none of the other lazy bastards turned up!
It’s looking a bit grim at our club for members turning up. We’re down to 3-4 regulars from about 9-10 a few months ago. Some of the missing guys are injured, but not to the point were they can’t do anything. Three of the young guys have quit to following a bodybuilding routine. They were pretty promising too. The youngest was 15 and nearly doing 1.5x bodyweight c&j and about a 75kg snatch at about 65kg.

Oh yea, so I’ve been taking Powerdrive.
My clean went up by 15kg, and snatch by 7.5kg.
I’m also peaking for a meet. So it can be a combination of things[/quote]
Dang?
Maybe Power Drive but maybe just good old programming and your hard work paying off. I know that shit like Spike and Power Drive do help you focus to get the most out of those PR days.

I don’t think Mary would appreciate you referring to her like that.
Ah yes, . I saw her at a MD meet last year. She was shoving into her mouth a hotdog smothered in relish, onions and mustard. All I have to say is she was attacking that f****n weiner with no remorse.[/quote]
Hey - let’s avoid using real people’s full names here who don’t read or post on this board. I know you didn’t say anything bad, but I’d prefer she not be the subject of conversation on this board.
