Absolutely! The hardest part of w/using the 25 is how to get it from the hook on the GHR bench to your chest. Once there, it's fine. With the 10 it seems so easy and then you go down for the first rep and you're like...OMG WTF how am I gonna get back up. It was all good though.

what i do is either put the plate on the edge of the handle like you said, or just balance the plate on the pad. When i get on the ghr, i just pick the plate off the pad. You should be able to do this since your knees don't sit on top of the pad.

I guess that explains why she's good at physical therapy.

OK, I still don't get the physical therapy reference ... physical therapy is a far cry from a massage parlor where you get to leave with a "smile".
Obviously you've never had PT Tom! We are referred to often as "physical terrorists" or "pain and torture". Never anything to do with sex. That would be yucky.

You are forgiven Aoife, but only because you are in the midst of finals and under stress. Next time...look out!

I'd say bring it, but you can most likely kick my sorry ass at this point.

Physical therapy for the aftermath of one your sexual adventures was what I was getting at. Strains, pulls, that sort of thing.

I guess it serves me right for declaring my log a great place for a good snatch joke.

Aaaaaaah. It's a rest day for me. I am swamped at work, but I will take some time out this afternoon or evening to do some stretching/mobility work and take a nice walk around the 'hood. I'm still trying to improve my pullups so I did some of those this morning too (while on a conference call - mute button on ). Have a great day everyone!

Pullups
10x2xBW

Great workout with the other local lifters today. It was a full house with seven people sharing 4 platforms. I shared my platform w/my usual training partner so nothing different than usual, but I didn't get a chance to do squats so I'll have to make up for them tomorrow.

Snatch - worked up to 35kg today. Did a lot at this weight and mostly they were really feeling good.

Clean & Jerk - these were hit or miss since I was fooling around with bar position for the jerk. It's a fine line between strangulation and a great jerk for me apparently. I think they are improving though. Worked up to 45kg today and stayed there for a few singles. Shoulder wasn't hurting at all.

That's it for me.

Thanks for the Mother's Day wishes Ann Marie. Sunday was great.

Worked out today.

Snatches - 2x2x20kg, 5x1x25kg, 3x1x27.5kg, 2x1x30kg, 6x1x35kg, 1x1x37.5kg

Oly Front Squats 3x5x52.5kg

Split Jerks behind head 3x5x37.5kg

GHRs 2x8xBW+10# behind head

Bentover Rows 2x8x40#

OH Shrugs 2x8x75#

Pretty happy with the workout today. I did one snatch at 37.5kg (my current max) and it came up pretty easily. I think I can get 40 soon. I'm hoping for another workout tomorrow, otherwise I won't get a chance until Saturday since I'll be traveling from tomorrow afternoon - Friday.

Work has been insane lately.

Glad the technique improvement is helping ... and happy belated Mother's Day!!

Travelling anywhere fun?

Got a new Teavana order today ... mostly tins and a mug ... what's your favorite blend? I'm really into MateVana and Rooibos Chai ... in the morning mostly. I like my Pistachio Apple Pie in the evening.
