I wouldnt call a 100kg C&J a sucky workout! throw some whey and a banana into a guiness and u will be ready for bed! rest up buddy

^^ I think it was more that I was only about 30mins into a session. Kinda felt like I'd gotten warmed up and stopped.

Trained this evening, but didn't do snatches as per normal. Decided I needed the day off from them after yesterdays session.

Strong workout Tim.Nice presses and DH always impressive.Yeah give those triceps good attention

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Strong session man! those tricep lockouts are pretty strong

 

[Adam23]

those Chinups are nice bro !!!
keep it up tim

 

[tim290280]

Lionheart: my triceps have started to limit all of my pressing. Mainly because I've got a limited range of exercises that don't aggrevate my elbows.

PV: I was thinking that I'd get a few more reps at that weight, but doing them TUT style they fried me quickly.

Adam: I'm liking those chinups, pity my pullups are about 20kg off that.

This evening sucked for some reason.

Awesome session and great vid, like the form on the snatches man! spot on! wouldnt expect nothing less from Timbo! keep it up man!

 

[tim290280]

^^ Thanks Jono!

Lifted this afternoon and I have decided that I'll drop the C&J. Basically my form has been shit these past few weeks. It is causing issues with my elbows and wrists and requires a reset. I don't know how it came about, pretty much since I did my last over-reach and strained my wrist. On the other hand my snatches are pretty solid.

Too much time on the computer.

Good session man!

 

[tim290280]

Too much time on the computer.

Well I do work mostly at a desk........ Oh, right

Well that still doesn't explain my crap form.


PV: Thanks dude. I'm liking how good the squats are going. I needed to keep the session short so I added in that last continuous rep set so that I didn't have to do another 5 sets. But have to say that the continuous rep set is not good for my knee, the "breathing" or paused reps I do are much better.

 

[Zigurd]

Been reading your log, love it man. I've learned a lot to be honest and cannot wait to add C&J to my routine =)

 

[_ROBERTiNHO_]

Great log man! Nice videos and nice training style.
I hurt myself doing snatch jerks (rotator cuff) about 2 weeks ago and it fucked up with all my training, so now I'm only doing deadlift stuffs and leg presses.

Will keep reading your log
