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.
I’m officially on vacation and we are an hour from home but I have an elderly cat who needs meds every morning so I’m waking up at 4 am and driving home so I might as well get some training in. Just. A little biathlon session today and then back to vacation and breakfast
Double 20kg Jerk 5’ x 2 120 total reps. It’s like a god damned swamp today with the humidity. I hate summer.

I drink about two of these a day for the last 25 years so why not get it tattooed?
3:30 am session in the books. The main work today was Snatch. Did 2 5’ sets for 202 reps. Followed it up with a 5’ long cycle set and hit 50 reps. After that I did a few set of double half snatch and got 61 reps. I did a body building style upper body session for GPP after. This was a fun one!
Double 20kg Jerk 5’ x 2 with 2 minute rest between 110 reps
Snatch 20kg 8’ snatch 130 reps
This was terrible!!!!!! 100 degree heat training is the worst thing ever. I miss kettlebells in the snow. No excuses still got it done.
Today was an off day but I had no real movement in work and I had lots of pent up energy so I decided to do some long cycle. 5’x 2 for 92 reps.
I was supposed to do 3 sets of 6’ at sub max pace but after the 2nd set I was spent. I’d normally be upset if I didn’t hit the prescribed work but with my knee, the heat and work I gave it all I had and that’s all I can ask for from myself.
Biathlon 8’ test sets today. I survived both sets in the rain and with a bum knee! Today wasn’t about max reps it was about lasting the clock and getting comfortable with longer sets. I’m proud I was able to do this with my knee injury. Confidence is the biggest thing I’m lacking in this sport so these sets help a lot.
Snatch day 240 reps total followed by double 32 strict press. 4 sets overall from 25 reps followed by double 32 Romanian deads. Pretty solid day.
