May as well start a training log over here. Please feel free to post your comments, encouragement, input, critique, etc.

So my training pretty much centers around the olympic lifts. I compete in the 53kg weight class in the "masters" category cuz I'm an old broad. My most recent meet was last weekend where I snatched 44kg and C&Jd 55kg for a 99kg total. I have another meet coming up next month and I'm also planning to compete at the American Masters in November.

Alright, enough about me...here's my workout today . Sundays are usually non-Oly stuff. I'm working on improving jerk technique since my heavy jerks suck and are really limiting my ability to get my totals up. Thus I'm doing lots of jerky stuff lately.

Warmups - I do a combination of stretches and dynamic stuff and then a warmup with the bar

Reverse Hypers 3x10xBW (unweighted just to get my wonky SI warmed up)

Front Squats (oly style of course) - 2x1x20kg, 1x30kg, 1x40kg, 1x50kg, 1x60kg, 1x65kg, 1x68.5kg, 1x70kg (FAIL!)

Rack Jerks - 4x1x20kg, 2x1x30kg, 1x40kg, 1x42.5kg, 2x1x47.5kg, 4x1x50kg, 1x51kg, 1x52.5kg

Push Press - 3x20kg, 3x30kg, 3x32.5kg, 3x35kg, 2x3x37.5kg, 2x3x38.5kg

Step Ups - 2x5x25# DBs

That's it. I'm having a serious mental block on 70kg front squats so I'm sneaking up on them a half a kilo at a time.

Yay!

That's me with my BP. But mine's pitiful.

About time!

Warmup - stretching, dynamic, bar

Front Squats - 3x20kg, 3x30kg, 3x40kg, 6x4x50kg

Snatch - 3x1x20kg, 1x25kg, 1x27.5kg, 1x30kg, 1x32kg, 5x1x35kg, 1x36kg, 1x37.5kg, 2x1x38.5kg, 2x1x40kg, 1x41kg, 1x42.5kg, 2x1x43.5kg, 3x1x40kg

Push Press from Behind Head - 3x40kg, 3x41kg, 3x42kg

This workout killed my legs. My last set of push presses were shaky and I barely got that last rep up. Snatches were just meh, but I didn't expect to hit any PRs considering all the squatting I did up front. Overall a good workout though.

Tonight I'm heading to the rolfer to get more work for my carpal tunnel. The last two sessions have pretty much erradicated the numbness and pain while sleeping so i'm totally happy. After today I'll switch to monthly sessions for a while and see how that goes.

Warmup - dynamic, stretching, bar warmups

Rack Jerks - 2x20kg, 1x30kg, 1x40kg, 1x42.5kg, 1x45kg, 3x1x47.5kg, 1x48.5kg, 1x50kg, 2x1x51kg, 1x52.5kg, 1x53.5kg, 1x54.5kg, 1x50kg

Jerk boxes would make my life so much easier.

Saturdays I train with my coach. It was a good day today - great weather and everyone was lifting well.

Snatch - 2x2x20kg, 2x1x25kg, 1x27kg, 2x1x30kg, 1x33kg, 5x1x35kg, 1x37kg, 2x1x38kg, 2x1x39kg, 1x40kg, 1x41kg, 1x42kg, 1x43kg, 1x44kg, 1x45kg

I was pretty trashed by the time I got to 50kg on the C&J. I decided to call it a day and do my squats tomorrow. Gunnin' for a 70kg front squat - look out.

hell yeah dawg

Cut my workout short today because I was just really dragging. Not suprising considering the volume I did yesterday.

Warmups

Front Squats - 2x20kg, 1x30kg, 1x40kg, 1x50kg, 1x60kg, 4x1x65kg

Skipped the rest of my planned stuff. Took a walk and had some tea instead. The weather has been really nice here lately.
