Solid training Bob. How are you still liking those Eleiko knee sleeves?
I ended up getting the SBD's, they're good. I like some of the rebound I get from it.

The bars have next to no spin. It's awful. Might not be worth actually doing the full or power variations for the time being until they get a better bar. Might have to settle for pulls.MISC STRENGTH CREW

Thanks. Yeah the weights are starting to go up a bit.
We've had practices but no games yet. A lot of guys are getting married this summer, so people are coming to practice but guys can't commit to games. I haven't been able to make it out to any as I've been performing some improv comedy a bit this summer.MISC STRENGTH CREW

That's alright. I actually drove from London, to York, to Edinburgh. After that, I understand why someone wouldn't want to drive.
In Edinburgh we did the Royal Mile, then on to Edinburgh Castle. We climbed Arthur's seat. We actually saw the Queen twice! She had some kind of garden party there. We did a ghost tour to the South Vaults and Greyfriars Cemetery. We also did that Escape Edinburgh challenge and got the fastest time in the puzzle room! We stayed in an apartment that was a few blocks away from the Heliots Rugby Club, I don't know if you're familiar with them. Great city, definitely want to go again.MISC STRENGTH CREW

Cardio
Did the Adidas MiCoach assessment workout again just to see what my pacing was like. It's a 12 minute long gradual build up from walking, to 4/10 effort, slowly to 9/10 effort the entire time. After the workout I alternated sprints and jobs for the next couple of minutes until I made it back to my house.

I want to add at least a couple heavy sets after squats now. I'm at a point where 100kg clean and jerk is always doable for me, so i want to start pushing that boundary.
What do you think is the issue? Mine is always dropping down fast enough to catch. My friend who is a coach says that I'm always catching in the power position, even in my full cleans, and that's even at 119kg.
Also sorry for the lack of updates, I've had a health issue that prevented me from really lifting for a while, but that should be sorted out soon and I should be back on it.
The Empire RFU GU that I play in is having select side tryouts this Sunday, and there will be some USA Rugby scouts there as well. The problem is I have a wedding this saturday, and I doubt my girlfriend and I will be in any shape to wake up. I'm planning on packing my bag and seeing if the lady will be willing to drop me off, and possibly pick me up. I doubt i'll do that well, but I need to kick off the pre-season some how. The only good news is since my squat is up and my weight is down, 215lbs currently with I think a realistic 405lb squat soon, I've been much faster the few times i've had a run.MISC STRENGTH CREW
