C-biscuit on the run!

[CKlifter]

Ok, like my fellow lifters Taradise and TinyDancer, TBone has also convinced me to start a log of my trials and tribulations of olympic weightlifting. My background is in gymnastics and soccer, I've been a very active person all my life (21 years old) and just recently got interested in oly lifts last year. I completed one meet but with earning my degree and other personal issues I took 7 months off- didn't even touch a barbell until 2 weeks ago. Now I'm back and it feels even more awesome than before. I last competed at 63kg and I weigh a tad above that now. Ideally, I'd like to be a 58kg lifter so I've started the Paleo diet. So I'll begin this log with my last heavy training session on 7/19

Morning:
just cleans (kg)-
30x3
35x3
39x2
40x2
42x2
44x2
45x4
47x2
49x2 (miss)

Back Squat (highbar) kg-
50x5
55x5
60x5
65x2
70x2
25x2
77x1
80x1

Evening
just cleans
35x3
39x2
40x2
44x1
45x1
46x1
47x1
48x1

51x1
52x1 PR
53x1 miss

Back squat
60x5
65x3
67x3
70x3
72x5

my old clean PR was 50kg, however, I can do close to 60 from the hang and I can also jerk 60. I just have issues cleaning from the floor. My first pull is slow, sometimes I don't get my knees out of the way in time and I tend to jump forward when it gets heavy. It just needs more work in general.

Welcome C-biscuit!!!

I absolutely love the name of this log. We need to get shirts with our gym names on the back like jerseys.

[Tamara Reynolds]

I'm so excited.

And, yes, we need jerseys.

7/23

What a fucking awesome morning! I think most of the credit goes to the fact that I ate a shit ton of carbs last night (not really intentional) then had a good breakfast this morning and tried a combination of supplements I've been interested in. So with my breakfast I took omega-3 fish oil capsule and a probiotic, like I do every morning, and then I just bought some L-tyrosine, glutamine and arginine. This is the second time I have taken them and it went really well the first time so I tried it again and I felt so energized this morning! Oh I also took this along with my pre-workout supplement Jack3d I'm normally an afternoon/evening training person but I was on it today. I hit a snatch PR at 47kg and came close to 48kg and then a jerk PR from blocks at 60kg, both these PR have been eluding me for quite sometime now. I am totally going to snatch 50kg soon I can feeeel ittt!

So it goes a little something like this:

30x2
35x2
37x2
39x2
40x1 miss from behind
40x1
42x1

46x1 PR
47x3 miss
47x1 PR
48x2 miss

Jerk from the blocks kg
35x2
39x2
40x1
44x1
47x2
49x1
50x1
52x1
54x1
55x1 press out
55x1
57x1
59x1
60x2 miss
60x1 PR

Later on this evening I'll head back to the gym and do some light cardio work and front squat. I'm still at 147lbs body weight so going to keep trying to stay Paleo till I hit my goal weight.

7/23

Afternoon training
I needed to do front squats since I didn't do them in the morning so I head out to the ol' WWC gym to get that and a little bit of light conditioning in.

FS kg
50x5
55x5
57x3
60x3
63x3
66x3
68x3
70x1

I meant to get on a bike or some other cardio-like equipment but I hardly can motivate myself to do that- it's just so boring to me!
I did however do:
steps ups 3x10 @ 25# db
kb swings 3x15 @ 25, 30, 35#- these were all done relatively fast so that could count as cardio right?
kb seated should presses 3x10 @ 15, 20, 20#
I'm almost ashamed to admit this but I did do some bicep curls haha for the ladies of course...
anddd I benched- I hardly ever bench but it's something I would like to improve on, especially if I ever want to do a powerlifting meet which I would like to at some point. I think I started at 50lbx15, 65lbx10, and 75lbx10
