Good stuff jj.

9 out of 10 isn't bad you say ? No 9 out 10 is pretty dayum solid

Thank you very much! And the cool thing I figured out later is that I had only hit a 38 triple one time in the past! So it was a huge volume PR!

Happy Tuesday. I did not check my notes before I left the house for this work out. When I came home I found my best double clean only was a 41. So I think 3 DCJ at 48 is a pretty HUGE PR.

Today I really tried to focus on my jerks. 2 things. I dip to fast. I need to dip slower and then drive hard. I think I did better. The other problem I have is fluffing my feet to settle myself after my clean. I for some reason feel the need to fluff before I jerk it! So, stand on the clean. Wait a second, move one foot, then jerk it. I will get there!

My legs are tired!

Lol no I think my sitting got changed yesterday when it kept signing me out every time I tried to post. I'll look when I'm back on the laptop an see if that's it

[BabyOilBrah]

damn +7kg PR on clean doubles yea! Looks like we both PRd on some kind of clean double today I feel like I dip to fast and almost rush the jerk, going to try and slow things down on the descent and then power up. Great stuff as always.

Thanks! I think it is nice not knowing you are going in to beat a PR sometimes. This plan is kind of cool cause there isn't as much thought. The weights are on the paper. Last time was easy so this time can't be bad. Let me keep saying that about this coming Thurs!

See the smile? That was the day before. And we don't have to keep it G-rated til the kids are in bed anymore. We have tv and a locking bedroom door. X rated anytime now a days. Plus school starts soon and no more homeschool for me.

Hey! Know what I realized. It was 12 out of 13 snatches the other day, not 9 out of 10!

Will that's even better..

How many kids you have? No homeschool = Mom gets free time now to do whatever mom wants

We have 2 girls. One almost 10 and one 7. Yes, mommy had no time. We have a farm, own an a/c company that I do all the books for. So I was about to lose my mind! I think them going to school will be best for everyone! and I will get to train with less distractions! Not that I do not love my kiddos dearly.

[howimliving]

can't miss it. that is awesome

i'm so glad to hear my wife and i aren't the only parents that sneak off for a tickle fight during blues clues. having the two year-old stick her hands under the bedroom door is quite a mood killer though. i swear our daughters are secretly rewarded by my in-laws for being cock blockers

He found some fishing friends, I am very HAPPY!!

LMAO about the in-laws. Yes, TV is the BOMB! I am sure my kids will be warped because of it, but I am sure it will not be the only way I warp them! LOL! The hand under the door is bad, but so is Mommy, I need... whatever insane crap they can not live without for what 15 min? Our old lab was the worst though. She would just put her head on the bed and stare!

I have 4, a 21 year old son that's biologically mine and 16,15,15 year olds that we adopted when they where babies. So it's 2 boys an 2 girls.. It sounds like you have your plate full with the farm/a/c company. Lol Oh I understand totally what you mean about loving the kids, but it is nice if/when you do get just a few mins to yourself lol

Lol Nope your not the only ones

this has gone from training journal to tree fiddy shades of gray in a short time today.............

Our old lab was the worst though. She would just put her head on the bed and stare!

we had a chocolate lab that did almost the exact same thing but she would interact occasionally. nothing like a little extra push on your arse from a cold, wet nose

[gobbles23]

Congrats on the PR Jani!!! Those fish look so yummy! What kind are they!?

Wow, so you are going thru the learning to drive stage. I am very afraid of that and the dating phase. And good for you for adopting. That is awesome!

I get a kick out of your dogs I swear. I bet they sigh pretty loudly too!

Okay. I don't even know what I want to say. I had this whole post planned out in my head. Was gonna show an old phat picture of me, my journal is almost 2 yrs old. Was gonna talk about my progress, blah, blah, blah. Went to the gym and it did not go the way I wanted to I think I am just going to leave this as...

[thehobbes]

Ah yeah, those are what I like to call "building days." Before you have an entire Honeybaked Ham store before you in all its glory with delicious meats and that orgasmic macaroni salad someone must go outside in a cold, dirt field and start laying bricks down one by one to build the foundation that will one day support that heavenly building where people will truly purchase Christmas joy. Just sayin.

[howimliving]

straight up, dead srs. i'll try to make this a quick story but my wife and i knew each other for quite some time before dating/marriage but never sought each other out. i had just moved back to idaho, we made contact and planned on meeting up for a drink when time permitted-this was right around thanksgiving time. well, some of my friends and i had a tradition of getting together on thanksgiving evening after all the family madness and having beers at this complete sh*t hole bar. i mean this place is bad, more like the idaho falls gun and knife club but they are open every day of the year, have great food (leftover turkey sandwiches on holidays) and my buddies and i have done it for years. anyways, we decided to meet up around 9 and take it from there. i get there, NONE of my friends showed up due to a crazy a*s blizzard and she thought i said ten instead of nine. i was all sad, thinking i got stood up and started drinking beer like it's my job. i finally get tired of waiting and decide to leave right as she shows up. now i'm thinking this is great news until she starts with the questions:-where are your friends?-how many pitchers have you had?-do you know it's thanksgiving? pretty rough start. things actually started getting better after that and after an hour or so i offered to go start her car to warm it up before leaving. as i open the door, some dude busts in to get out of the blizzard and has this wild dog running around, barking and snapping at everyone. dude starts yelling at the dog "sadie! sadie! get out of here! get out of here you POS!" after that i was like "wtf is homeboy saying to my lady friend? beat it pal." yeah, it was a disaster to say the least

LOL! Driving is complicated! I learned to drive in a town of like 7,000 in Idaho, then we moved to Washington DC.

Now off to lick my wounds. Maybe I will come back some other time.

knock that sh*t off. training is a constant progression; that's why we keep going back. sucks to hear you had a garbage session but it is one out of how many great ones?-especially recently. and i'm betting it really wasn't even that bad. go back exactly one year in your journal and compare it to what you did today and then get back to me on how bad it was
