I'm still writing too...sporadically. When the mood hits.

Well, I lulzed at Tom's post and also am very thankful for the props. It's a good lift and I'm proud of it.

Josh, Alexeev actually clean and pressed 230kg which equals 507 pounds. How do I know this? Because I am a big fan of the press and have been watching the video for years. Think it's a coincidence that I married one of the best pressers in the world? (I'm a lucky girl.)

No one who trains seriously cares how cool something looks, only that strength is expressed. I train seriously, and I hit a lift that is very good. Never mind that I'm a month out from 48. 

I can see why people hate NASGA.

So long 10's. I don't want to see you for another year. True story.

Ran out of time here. Did one set of 10 and then 4x5@40kg

 

I'm very thankful to SouthSide Bully for letting me hang and train. They were very good sessions. Truth be told; however; I've had my fill of public gyms for the year. Back home tomorrow.

Thank you for asking Tom, that is really nice of you. But, no dice. I can't find a qualifying meet in time and Pan Am registration has opened which means it will fill up quickly. I'm #84 on the Arnold waiting list which would have worked qualify wise but that's not happening. I guess I'm just a thrower this season. I will pay closer attention for American Master's registration next fall. My total of 142 this past December should qualify me for that meet or I can catch another local one this summer. All I need is an 85kg total so I can hit that in a meet without too much interruption to throwing...I hope. I was very disappointed because I think I could do very well at Pan Am's and Worlds but oh well. Such is life. There are far worse things.

 

Masters Pan Am's are in Puerto Rico next year...so there's that

 

Thanks again! It's VERY kind of you to ask.

Back to Southside for some distance drills. Brought the 14 and 21. Finally put together the "sprint to the finish" stuff. I guess it takes time to click. By the way my left hip feels now, I was doing it right. Ouchie. The light weight is fine but I noticed with the heavier weight, on my second turn I'm allowing my left foot to come up way too high so I need to practice jamming it into the ground. Overall very happy that this now makes sense and I can feel it. I'm very excited to get outside and test it out.

 

After: 10 minutes on the treadmill. I pretty much have shin splints now from all the cardio. Goody.

Thankx you.

Me too.

That's on me, I haven't done a good job at keeping an eye on USAW events and come to the party a day late each time it seems so these things are filling up before I register. As much as it would be nice to lift next weekend, the crucial meet is the Arnold to get that PanAm qualifying total at a National level meet before THAT registration opens and I miss it again. I'm on that wait list too.

Jumbling lifting schedule around for the next two weeks. I'm on a wait list for a Weightlifting meet next Saturday in Minnesota so will lift today since I can't on Saturday just in case. The work will get in, it'll just be a bit ADD plus I get a week at SouthSide Bully to throw indoors (the shot anyway) and drill so I'll take advantage of that.

Snatch:

W/U

4@35, 4@40, 2@45, 2@50, 1@55, 1@60

Clean & Jerk:

4@45, 4@50, 2@60, 2@65, 1@75, 1@80

Jerk Supports:

1x5@245#

This will sufficiently drive me into the ground but with hot yoga tomorrow and two days rest this weekend I'll be fine on Monday for hot yoga again and lifting later in the week. That's the plan anyway.
