5’ biathlon with the 24’s for me and 4kg OALC and 4kg Snatch for the kid. The jerk portion with the 24’s was mentally and physically draining but snatch felt nice!

Today was the first real Long Cycle session I’ve done in forever. Coach gave 4 minute sets x 3 with the 16’s, 18’s and 20’s but I don’t have 18’s in my work gym and I don’t have 16’s at home because I lent them out so I did 2 4’ sets with the 16’s and a 4’ set with the 20’s. It was better than I expected. Today I just put my mind at ease during training when I wanted to drop the bells and it was a huge help and the set was almost over before I knew it.

Set 1 Double 16kg TALC -28 reps
Set 2 Double 16kg TALC- 29 reps
Set 3 Double 20kg TALC - 26 reps

3 weeks out from AAKO. I woke up yesterday with bad pain in my right shoulder when I raise my arm but I was able to train around it today. I think I just slept on it weird because I don’t recall anything happening to it. Anyway I’ve hit rank 2 now in my last 3 comps and I want to get rank 1. I’m doing a 5’ set which means I need to get 70-75 jerks in 5 minutes. I’m pretty confident with snatch as was able to hit 108 in 5 minutes last week in Minnesota.

Me and my son had a blast at Twin Cities comp. I had an ok day and got Rank 2 in 20kg Biathlon but my son took home best new lifter and 100 bucks. He was signed up for 5 minute snatch and 5 minute one arm long cycle and turned both sets into 10 minute sets. He showed true heart and grit and impressed me so much!
We got to hang out with old friends and made new ones as well and there were so many good sets and good lifters.

Me and the boy are flying out to Minnesota tomorrow morning for TCKO. I’m competing in Biathlon with the 20kgs and doing a 16kg TALC set and he’s competing in Snatch and OALC.

1’ x 3 44 reps total. These get heavy fast lol

Less than a week out until I fly to Minneapolis for TCKO. Sprint sets with the 24’s today. I hit 26 in 1’ on snatch and that’s the best I’ve ever done!

Snatch day. I did 1’ with the 20,24,28,32kg bells and did it for 2 minutes. Last set of each is shown. 210 total reps.
The 20’s, 24’s and 28’s all felt good but the 32’s got heavy really fast and I was on the struggle bus. This was a really fun session though.

Also down 82 lbs as of today. I’m super proud of that going from 370 down to 288. Still have a long way to go but I can only go so fast. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of comments from trolls on here about my body so it’s kind of annoying when you lose 82 lbs and still have shit talkers but what can you do?

Jerk training for me and Snatch training for the boy. Prepping for Twin Cities and AAKO.
