135 225 275 315 365 405 435 455 465 No grinding reps, just worked up to a heavy weight that I felt comfortable with. I'd say I'm 10-20 pounds behind where I was 3 months ago but nothing unexpected from rugby. Going to try to squeeze in a mini squat cycle before december. Pull ups - 4x7 DB Rows - 2x8 @ 80 1x8 @ 70 Curlz - 3x8 @ 55 LYT shoulder 3x8 w/ 5 pound plates. Dat arm pump. Can't wait till my Biceps catch up with my back/lats. | ||

When I catch the snatch and stand up it feels as if the bar is not sitting on my wrist correctly (I would think). Since it's so wide and I'm using hookgrip I get a significant amount of strain on my thumb. I'm figuring I'm doing something wrong or not adjusting once I catch? I feel it will really hold me back once the weight becomes more challenging since the pain in my thumb/wrist would be enough to make me ditch the bar instinctively. You can release the hookgrip as you go into the receiving position. I can't really comment on what else you could be doing wrong without a video...catching the snatch should be very active with tight core and back and engaging your shoulders/rotator cuffs properly. USAW level 1 cert isn't rigorous at all. Show up for a couple days, pay the fee, pass the test. There's loads of terrible certified coaches and lots of very good uncertified ones. And happy birthday! (in TL time at least). | ||

That's why the charger comes apart into the wall adapter and the usb cord. | ||

Coach let us also know of a beginners meet 20. dec so I guess I'll be training for that then. Getting 70kg/100kg would make me pretty happy. | ||

Gotunk, I do think I give other people my time too often, and that does piss me off. Hard to say no to work unless I want to get fired/not get paid. My wife is too busy and I wish she wasn't; but she doesn't have me do anything I don't want to do, fortunately. Otherwise I am saying no a lot more recently, but more to give myself more time to myself. I workout in the morning and it's pretty much the only viable time besides late at night (11 pm+). I went to renew my contract last night at 9:30 and there must have been 150 in that gym. Shoulder to shoulder, one squat rack. Unless I want to wait around for 2 hours, no thanks. I've been in the evening before, between 6 - 10 at various times and it was rammed. Anyway, I shouldn't use "time" as an excuse for workout related stuff, as the morning works well for me. The pain I have cannot be... ignored. I can barely bend over without significant pain in my back, shooting into my glutes and down into my hamstrings. Flexing my body in certain ways is excruciating. Even lying in bed last night was quite painful. As I said I've done this 3 times now in the past 6-7 months, and it takes at least 2 weeks for the pain to go away. Not too long. I'm still not going to miss a workout. But I won't do squats/DL until the pain is manageable. I hurt it on Wednesday morning, I figure I can do light squats again next Wednesday. I'm not giving up squats/DL, or weightlifting, but I'm probably just going to work on "maintaining" what strength I have instead of trying to get the numbers up there. I definitely don't expect to hit any PRs, but that's fine. | ||

Some poor girls using the Smith machine, bless their hearts. And for some reason, several women at my gym like to get on the floor at the Smith machine and do a donkey kick, pushing the bar up. That's a weird trend in my gym as well. Girls lying on the floor in the smith machine and pushing the bar up with their legs. I have no idea how you can even come up with that. | ||

I saw something worse with the smith machine this week, a girl took a bench and put it in the smith machine, then kneeled forward on it like a bridge, and used a single leg to push the bar up and down. | ||

We have those as well, as long as people don't fuck with my squat sets I have no problem letting them do pull ups while I'm resting. I'm just happy they're doing a functional compound movement. | ||
