All Aboard!

Gainz. 65 snatch yesterday (55 for a triple). Starting to feel like a weightlifter now! Didn't attempt any higher. Also have been told to do more upper body work, so bench press comeback 2014!

Probably will be the last time I'm checking in before my trip overseas. I really hope I don't lose too much strength while I'm away.

Bwt 62-63

Train hard.

Grind

Last day of training until uni and hence regular training stars. I'll probably be starting my program properly then as well. Just quick post here for new 88 clean and jerk PB. Jerks were feeling easy but couldn't clean 90 due to retard second pull. Still happy.

Train hard.

P.S. might also keep track of my bodyweight at each post. Currently 61-62.

Way of Life

The main problem I used to have with training is demotivation. I'd pick up a game or something and then get so into that I'd get lazy, or I'd get frustrated with slow progress I'd skip training.

It's a lot different now, sometimes I do still have that feeling where I'm just going through the motions and not really getting anywhere. But it's not often and it's not a lot, and I stick through it because if I don't I'll be letting other people down. I like it this way, because it's much more frustrating losing everything I worked for because I got lazy for a month.

Rant over, update time: I missed the last competition, and will be missing the next one (unfortunately) due to a Vietnam trip. Hopefully if I have leftover money from the Vietnam trip I might be able to afford going into the League round when I come back but we will have to see.

Training has been very easy-going the past month and a half. Was going roughly around twice a week due to exams and having a social life in the holidays. Getting back into it this week; uni starts up again next week so I expect my training to go back to normal too. New program, back to four times a week to accommodate for my new uni timetable.

62kg PB Snatch today, even after feeling pretty beat up from training the past two consecutive days. Missed 64kg behind but the height was definitely there. I probably would have got it after another attempt or two but I'll save it for later; I'm happy with the 2kg PB.

Train hard.
