Okay, time for a new journal.

Basic goals-
short term:
1) hammer great technique into my o-lifts
2) improve my o-lifts
3) get my front squat up there (shoot for double bodyweight) and increase over all strength and power

long term
1) would like to qualify for the American open or the Nationals in 2006. Not necessarily go. I would only go if my opening atempts are enough for the qualifying totals. I don't want to slide in by the skin of my teeth. So, maybe qualify in 2006 and try and get good enough to compete in 2007. The qualifying total for the senior men's 77kg class for the American open is 240kg and for the Nationals it is 247kg. So that is 110/130 (snatch/jerk) or any permutation I can come up with.



Here is my program that I am going to run through for about 5-6 weeks (the only week that may present a problem is thanksgiving week and I will just tack another week on to the end). i will then go for an unloading week and then come back strong with my frequency higher (4 times a week) and then lowering that down as I taper into my first contest of the season (when I figure out when that is). I have a hypertrophy day in here since this is technically my "offseason" so I want to try and gain some more muscle but try not to really gain any weight so I can always be in ear shot of 77kg (just under 170lbs) for comeptition.


this may look a little strange since I cut and pasted from excel and it didn't format well. I fixed it as best I could.

Day 1 Goal: Strength

I would like to keep this a serious journal with out to much messing around. I will document as much stuff as I possibly can...diet, morning BW, flexability training on in between days, how I feel, etc......I will try to be accountable for as much as I can.

I will start on Sunday which will be strength day. Obviously since i am coming off an injury and slight set back (3 weeks of missed training) I will start at the lower end of the percentages and work my way up over a few weeks. I really will focus on keeping to the percentages on non-max training day since I want to hammer that technique down.
 
Great name for your journal, I like it. Good luck Patrick! Looks like a good set-up as well :thumbs:
 
I'll be lurking too, although I probably won't be able to contribute much since I'm not really up on O-lifting. But I am interested in your progress.
 
Great goals, and I have faith that you'll achieve them my Friend!!!
 
Good luck, you set some great goals....
 
thank you guys. Got my work cut out for me.

Shrimp are crustaceans correct?
When you say cooked, boiled, baked, fried?


I throw them in a pan with peppers, and coconut oil and cook cook them up. They I spray a little Olivo (the spray butter which is not butter but made out of olive oil instead) on top and coook that in. Season it and then eat it.

yes, they are crustaceans.

BW- 169.8


*depressing workout. :( No one would let me touch heavy weight because they said that I need to build up slowly. I felt like a bitch and people that I used to beat were passing me in lifts since I took some time off. I hate going light. So here is my stupid workout.

dynamic warmup
3 times through no rest
juming jacks- 20
push ups- 20
crunches- 20
BW squats- 20

snatch
warm up sets
40kg/2 reps x 2 sets
50/2x2
worksets
55kg/2 reps x 3 sets
50x2

pulling sucked. I really need to work on my techique. I am taking out the RDLs and putting in Snatch pulls instead. I never bring my hips through and instead just throw the weight overhead. I am snatching over my BW with shitty form so if I can get my form down I think I can do much better. Really going to work on it.

clean and jerk
warm ups
50kg/2 reps x 2 sets
60kg/2 reps x 2 sets

super light :( . At least the form is better.

snatch pull
90kg/2 reps x 5 sets

olympic front squat
225lbs/2 reps
245/1
265/1 rep x 3 sets

front squatting with a real fat bar is not to fun...lol.

glute ham raise
BW/15
bw + 25lbs/15 reps x 2 sets


stretch.
 
Nice I likey. Those goals should be doable for you :thumb:

Why is your dynamic warm-up so general? Don't you think you would benefit more by doing stuff more specific like high skips, Dog & Bush, inverted toe touch, and other stuff that activates the hip musculature? Don't get me wrong, that is a good general warm up, but maybe scrapping the last set of this one and adding 2 sets of a specific warm-up could get your nervous system amped for training.

I do more specific warm up but I don't really list it.

I just list this as my general warm up. I do this because I hate to run on the treadmill or pedal my ass on the bike. This is just to loosen me up (I am pretty stiff) and get my blood moving. What I don't list is that I then go over to an empty bar and do more specific things like- front squat, back squat, overhead squat, press under, pulls, snatches, cleans, etc....to get my movements working.
