Tim's Journeyman Log

Miami: Yeh iPods are great right up until that point. I want to get some headphones like Ryan Reynolds had in Definitely Maybe (apparently they aren't in production yet).

Natzo: I can't wait till my hammys recover and I can get back to pulling +200kg.

Now what the hell did I do last night? I'll see if I can remember.

El Freako: Goth metal, not my favourite type, but this band did have a couple of good songs before breaking up.

PV: Solid but not great. The snatches just didn't fly up like they should have.

Natzo: Hopefully there are some pearls of wisdom....... oh who am I kidding

I trained late last night. It was important to get the squats done but the C&J couldn't get done in zero light. I feel as though I got the hammys working in the squats and split squats but feel a bit guilty for not doing some direct work on them. Although hammys have been very stiff of late and probably need the active recovery.

Great workout as always! I can imagine there is some visual poetry in squating with the moon light

 

[Natzo]

those 145kg felt heavy?

keep working hard

 

[tim290280]

Raggamuffini: I'd never thought of it that way. On the weekends when I just enjoy being outdoors and lifting I feel like I'm communing with nature a bit, that's it. Maybe I need to smell the roses a bit more.....

Natzo: They kinda did feel heavy. I was more doing the singles as I was falling into a bad habit I developed after my knee injury. Basically I sometimes transfer my weight to my "good" leg and I found myself doing that on the first set, so I decided to make sure that I didn't do that on the subsequent sets.

Another SuperPump evening and another result. Even with two scoops.

[Hypocrisy86]

superb work on chest Tim, and awesome music to listen to!!!

 

[tim290280]

PV: They were pretty tiring. The last set of snatches just sucked.

Miami: I thought you were already out benching me by 5kg??

Hypo: yeh big fan of the Astrocreep album.

 

[El Freako]

Nice work on the bench old mate!

 

[Natzo]

thats right but only one set.. i can't get another one im afraid my arms crack in the middle

 

[Pickle]

i mean this in the olivia newton john way. I honestly love you. Your chins are an inspiration always. same with the other hard lifts but chins are just that much more ahead of mine then everything else.

 

[Adam23]

nice Bench press tim !!!

keep it up brother

 

[Lionheart]

Nice squats and benching timtim

 

[tim290280]

El Freako: Sorry, do you mean the sex or the bench pressing??

Natzo: Gotta keep the muscles guessing lulz

Miami: Ahh gotcha

Pickle: You'll get back to it. Time off always makes a big strength deficit. Although if it makes you feel better I think I've lost strength on my chins as I've lost weight.

Adam: Cheers

Lionheart: Thanks bigfella!

Last night was my pulling night. No not that sort. Wasn't particularly motivated after sexy time But I went and lifted anyway. I tried something different on the C&J and it really made the difference on the catch at the shoulder and overhead. Basically I've been doing a power clean all this time and I switched over to a proper full squat clean. Made all the difference. I think I just end up in a better position that allows me to rack the bar at the shoulder and then sets me up to fire the jerk overhead better.
