Good luck on the big pull!

[mariawolters]

That's the spirit - you'll pull it. Mind over iron!

[yonkyogirl]

I did it!

Might want to turn down the volume. My form isn't great.



Will keep the weight as is for a few sessions, get my form better, then start increasing again.

That is awesome!

I'm just puzzled that someone likes yonkyo.

Congrats on the DL!

[jenica]

Good work!

[yonkyogirl]

Thanks guys, much appreciated. Next goal - 1 plate bench (132lb over here)

I'm just puzzled that someone likes yonkyo.

What is there not to like? Crippling nerve pain and stellar bruises the next day (and if you're lucky a huge bump to go with it!). Only a select few can find my nerves so I'm pretty much the evil bugger who manages cripple everyone else. Good times.

Haha, I like your attitude. What style of aikido? I train what is basically Yoshinkan.

What style of aikido?

Iwama, so lots of focus on weapons and kihon techniques.

Squat:
1x10x44
1x5x88
1x5x110
3x5x137.5
Still working on getting my knees to stay out.

Bench:
1x15x44
1x5x66
1x5x88
1x5x104.5
1x5x110
1x3x115.5
1x0x126.5 - failed, swore at the bar. Did get an extra rep at 110, and an extra 2 at 115.5 so can't really complain, but I really wanted it!

PowerCleans:
Warmed up with 66lbs
A bunch of singles at 88, 99, 104.5 (PR) and 110 (PR). Explosiveness increased slightly by sitting on my heels more and yelling as I jump. Very pleased that I racked 110, though my technique still needs a lot of work.
