5.30am

Snatch-
Bunch of very basic drills. Working through this without much progression at the moment. Need to get something here.
3 x 30
Power Snatch-
2 x 40
2 x 50

Clean and Jerk (I love the idea of the squat jerk but realistically I need to be hitting the split from here)-
50 x 2
60 x 2

Squats- (last set cue of looking up and opening my mouth out of the hole. Straight up imitation of Chinese lifters. Bar felt like a feather on my back with that. weird)
70 x 3
110 x 3, 3, 2, 3 - all belted sets

Clean pull-
110 x 3
140 x 3, 2, 2, 1 - straps for all sets.forgot my belt on the second set here. Legs were toast after these.

BTN Push Press
50 x 4, 4, 2

10 mins stretching and done.

I'm balls deep in olympic lifting at the moment and it's very cool. Looking to line up a novice comp soon but not sure if I need to be part of a club first or something. Research to do.

*Edit- interesting observation this morning. Have been sneaking in a bulk the last few weeks. Ideally want to get to 100 and be a fairly 95. Currently sitting at 92 and still have top 4 abs. Two things happened this morning that confirm I'm on the right track. On way to gym I just felt a bit bigger. Firstly after my second set of squats at 110 random guy comes over, compliments me on form then starts asking for squatting advice. Never happened before in my life. Squats were looking good though. Secondly I was getting some decent eye attention from the females in the general area. This has happened before (obviously haha) but happens less to me in the gym given how many huge dudes workout there. Both good signs and a little extra juice to get me off to a good week.

lmao.

all good signs for swole life.

one day i will achieve 130 lb and receive absolutely no looks, just incredible speed. the dream. :ninja:

Great world athletic championship, due to work I couldn't watch it live so watched the entire pre recorded live session and it was incredible.

Let me see if I can remember the high points.
So happy for mutaz with the high jump. He has adopted a new style of keeping his arms to the side. Sucks about him injuring himself attempting the world record but he came back strong.

yeah that was one of the best moments of the WC's. hope he stays healthy. hope to see him jump huge in Tokyo!

4 x 100m relay is unbeatable - coleman, gatlin and lyles and any fast american left

Hasan really awesome in the double gold, said she felt angry because of the alberto salazar charge and the suspicion on the atheltes on the oregon project, when she kicks, no one can catch her.

yea. they knew there were clouds hanging over Oregon Project though when they joined the team. so that's on them.

really hope they aren't on anything.. would be really "ballsy" to do stuff when the coach is actively under investigation etc.

i assume hassan/kajelcha are clean etc.

Mo is most definitely clean now.

these athletes are getting tested all the time. Julien Wanders posted a clip of his urine test AFTER participating in the ineos 159 challenge lmao.

Pole vault was soo fun and exciting the head to head with the two top guys.

400m hurldes woman, wat a race. dalillah muhammad vs mclaughlin, great win and world record, don't know why it reminds of what would happen if terence will fight spence lol.

LMFAO. it kinda reminds me of that too.. :highfive:

400m hurdles will not be the same after they are done with it.

but the way nasser beat uibo in the 400m, she just went all out entire 400m.

yea Uibo ran that like she knew she would win. Nasser took it.

Uibo was at a "disadvantage" though, not being able to see Nasser until it was basically too late.

epic performance by nasser. that's how you KO the champ.

i'd love to see Uibo try to double 200/400 in Tokyo.

110m hurdles sucks for ortega but glad he got a medal. the ingerbrigtsen are good but the kenyans, ethiopians and ugandans show when they kick they are far apart.

i think jakob has a better kick than most of them. but, trying to double at such a young age, and all of those heats, looked like it took the sting out of him.

lots of people mentioning that he's "gaining weight" (ie maturing). that could come back to haunt him for a while, at least in events > 1500m.

had he only done 1500m, i think he would have medaled, maybe even silver.

no way he (or any1) is beating cheruiyot tho.. cheruiyot is king right now.

:D

I was surpised and happy to see the german woman runner keep up with the kenyans and come bronze (Konstanze Klosterhalfen) 5000m but obiri on another level.

ya klosterhalfen is another project oregon athlete too.. her training partner is Hassan, I think.

assuming they are all clean, then klosterhalfen is no joke. she's a force at 1500m and 5000m.

hassan is the best right now though.. at 1500m, 5000m, 10000m.. not half tho. brigid kosgei is the queen of half+full now.

hassan is probably #2 at half.

she's the most versatile runner (middle + long) in a LONG time.

she could probably even medal at 800m.

all in all great championship a lot of event were really good and exciting.

yup!

great recap!

I'm still heavy, idk gonna buy some laxative and have a party on Monday lol

insanity.

Brigid Kosgei, who got the unofficial half marathon WR a month or so ago, absolutely destroyed (2:14:04) the previous women's WR held by Radcliffe (2:15:25).

A seemingly "untouchable record" (2003) = smashed.

I was hoping she could get under 2:14, that would have been even more psycho. So close.

incredible weekend for Kenyans.

felt great all day. also feeling very light.

cleaning up diet again. have stopped (about a week) the fasting I had been doing for months, in order to eat more fruit in the morning etc. fasting helped me get my weight down with less run volume.

now that my run volume is going up a little bit again (not frequency, just 2 long sessions per week), i'm more hungry in the morning. my weight is still down so it doesn't really matter.

when i eat 5 bananas and 2 avocados, i feel great. etc.

i just want to eat more fruit and veggies. if eating some in the morning helps me do more of that, then i'm all for it.

04:45 PM: light: 1h30m w/ {1h15m "steep hill" non-stop) ::: (rocks) /// decent! wanted to make it to 10 mi on the hill but only made it to 8
- https://www.strava.com/activities/2783859413/overview
- https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/4150315093
- avg cadence < 170 lmfao. solid.

great session. very relaxed but decent hill pace.

my goal still, is to be able to run 20 miles non-stop up/down that steep hill. so far i don't think i've gotten to 10. I did 42 miles on this course once, but that's doing the loop. not going up/down the steep hill repeatedly. so 20 miles non-stop would be psychotic. been on my mind for a while. need to slowly chip away at that.

legs feel great post-session.







143 before bed.

waking up early for CHI marathon. \o/ :ibrunning:

yesterday:

stayed awake to watch Eliud Kipchoge drop 1:59:40. well worth it. one of the most incredible sporting events i've seen. as a "runner/racer", you just lock in to him and analyze him the entire time. so basically 2 hours locked in inspecting his state & hoping he can maintain the pace.

on a weird note.. did some of my best ever "release" on my injured areas, about an hour before the event. put all (sitting) pressure on the jacknobber, at a few spots in my hamstring/adductor.

felt immediate relief and felt great all day (the next day) and fine during a run.

would be nuts if i healed myself after 8 months, on the day of kipchoge's 1:59 attempt.

made this photo (noob stuff but i like how it came out):

quick recap

the end really is incredible. one of the most amazing things i've seen in sport. how the pace car leaves, then he just burst through his pacemakers & hits the burners. really was "space shuttle"-ish hehe.
