A Great Birthday Weekend Workout!

Ahh, it's good to feel good.Snatch day today and things went very, very well. The 24 kg felt light in my hands and nothing hurt at all! My right arm overhead position felt solid and the volume was decent.The technique hled up perfectly and was consistent througout the whole workout.

And the sun was out and it is warm! Fanfreakingtastic.

One arm swings
26x10/10
36x10/10
44x5/5
53x5/5
53x5/5
62x5/5 !
( first time I've one armed this in ages)

These went very well and as I had hoped got my legs into things earlier.Also really set up the groove.

Snatches
36x5/5
44x5/5

53x

4/4
5/5
6/6
7/7
8/8
10/10
4/4
5/5
6/6
7/7= 124 reps/6572 lbs
.

this went very very well and I felt strong,which is always good. Now that technical issues seemed to be ironed out I can concentate on snatch hard again. The ovehead holds have already started paying off.SHould never have dropped those. ALso making sure to really lockout each snatch rep every time. Use that position productively!

Snatch holds
44x30 sec
53x30 sec x3

this is great, most I've done in a long time.Solid.

Halos
26x8/8
36x8/8
26x8/8

Face Pulls
4x12-15

What a great gift for my birthday and an auspicious way to usher in the rest of the Century.

Especially considering the couple of weeks before your b-day.
Happy birthday again man. Here's to another 50!!

195 x 1 x 11 , 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, floor pushups 35, 25

  Not great sleep and a bit sore ( no aspirin for last three days) so all in all it was a strong day . Just definitely not 'fresh'  ...
