Beers- I really felt like drinking today and having a few beers or 10 after work. It was a beautiful 30 degree day (86 degrees fahrenheit) but I used my willpower and abstained.

 :highfive:

Didn't train all weekend. Back is only just good now. It's right beside and below my right scap. Funny thing is I think my breathing is pretty spot on. Lots of diaphram breathing and not much in the chest. How wrong I am. Every time I would breathe into my chest my back would hurt which as it turns out I do a lot. Funny to catch myself doing it so often.

Training to come later.

I went 9 days without drinking but ended up caving in last night on the 10th day and having 9 beers. It's not good but I'm lasting longer without drinking.

That's a good effort mate. Keep it up, I'm following your 'sobriety' gains. Every time you want a drink, go and do some eccentric calf raises! Haha.

Have you tried non-alcoholic beer? I'm not saying it's good, but some of it is actually surprisingly drinkable.

Thanks acole. My calves have felt wrecked this week from the extra volume of calf exercises.

I'm with vag on the non-alcoholic beer. I have never actually tried non-alcoholic beer but I primarily drink to get wasted. My favourite beers are HB Hofbrau, Hahn Super Dry, Furphy and Corona. I used to drink a lot of Guiness a few years ago but haven't drank it for a while. If i'm at a bar I'll just drink whatever is on special. I've been avoiding bars lately though.

Without getting too deep this may be the thing you need to address.

I've tried a few of the non alcoholic beers and while they taste ok I don't actually think its a good solution. For someone who likes the effects that come with alcohol I think it just drives that need further.

Ball game last night. Note to self- don't do a heavy ass session of squats and deadlifts before a game lol. Had ok hops off two legs but I airballed a layup when I got zero air off one leg  :uhhhfacepalm:  Perhaps the single most embarrassing moment of my basketballing career. Other than that we smashed the other team. They were all Chinese guys who didn't seem to really understand the rules and the language barrier was an issue. Their big kept pushing me under the rim on rebounds and the refs called everyone of them. He didn't stop though haha.

Strained my mid back again on the right hand side. Exact same spot as last time. Need to work out what's going on there. Not as bad as last time but I'll be taking a couple of days off lifing.

High pull with rebend (panda pulls- straps on all sets)
60 x 2, 70 x 2, 75 x 2, 80 x 2, 85 x 2

Snatch Pulls
90 x 2, 100 x 2, 110 x 2, 120 x 2

All the pulls felt great. Was training at home so took the snatch practice easy. Trying not to destroy my garage


16/10/19


9.30am - fasted

Clean, FS & Jerk
bar x 1, 30 x 1, 40 x 1, 50 x 1, 60 x 1, 70 x 1  :personal-record: - going to have lots of PRs here I think. Not too much history on this stuff. Felt solid though.

Front Squat- belt and knee sleeves
80 x 3, 90 x 3, 100 x 2, 2, 1

Clean Pulls
Hook Grip- 100 x 3, 120 x 3
Straps- 130 x 3, 140 x 3, 140 x 1

BTN Push Jerk
bar x 2, 30 x 2, 40 x 1, 50 x 1, 60 x 1

Push Press-
40 x 3, 50 x 1
Was meant to do 5 sets. I ran completely out of gas. Session was about an hour 20 mins and I was doing it just on coffee. Need to rethink that. Felt great early but hit an absolute wall late.

Looking at some end of year goals. There's some novice comps floating in Dec and Jan. Aiming at 80kg snatch and 100kg C&J which is completely doable. Also want 200kg pull and 160 BS by then too. Also completely doable. Means adding 30kg to squat and 40 to pull. Have been eating 3k plus cals the last few days and this will be the new minimum. Was lean AF this morning so will reassess at the end of the week and see where to go from there.

wtf was he talking about?

lebron confused af.

Quote
When asked whether Morey should be reprimanded for his tweet, James responded, "I think when we all sit back and learn from the situation that happened, understand that what you could tweet or could say, and we all talk about this freedom of speech -- yes, we do all have freedom of speech, but at times there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you're not thinking about others and you're only thinking about yourself."

"I don't want to get into a word or sentence feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand and he spoke. So many people could have been harmed, not just financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually. So just be careful what we tweet and what we say and what we do, even though yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that too."

I took his comment to be related to the China/NBA situation rather than the China/HK situation. By tweeting what he did Morey put a lot at risk financially which he "wasn't educated on the situation". I can't see how he could possibly mean the China/HK situation. He's not dumb and knows the value of his words. Maybe he should have been more explicit.

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:

Lol. I've never been anywhere near swole so that would be nice.

ya it'd be cool.

kenyan swole or nfl swole, both fun.
