Triskaidekaphobia - Joshua's Training

[Joshua]

Travelling up North for work this weekend until Thursday. Since I'm going to miss my Saturday weightlifting session (St. Pats), I started looking for gyms.

Who knew there was more than one olympic weightlifting gym in the Baltimore/Jessup/Columbia area of Maryland?

So, tomorrow I train a little, and next week (since I'm all alone in a hotel and am choosing not to go out drinking after work) I train a lot.

Awesome day on powersnatch and squats. I felt like crap, nasty headache and everything felt really heavy - but I still bested my numbers by last week by 5 kilos. I would like to see myself pull a 100kg powersnatch this year.

Powersnatch:
2x3 @ 40kg
1x3 @ 50kg
1x3 @ 55kg
2x2 @ 60kg
1x2 @ 65kg
2x1 @ 70kg
2x1 @ 75kg
2x1 @ 77.5kg/170.5lbs
1x1 @ 80kg/176lbs

Backsquat
1x3 @ 90kg
1x3 @ 105kg
1x2 @ 110kg
1x2 @ 120kg/264lbs
1x2 @ 130kg/286lbs
1x1 @ 140kg/308lbs



Cooldown was quite literal, jumping into a very cold pool for about 15 minutes.

Might as well put the time to good use!

Little gym around Columbia, MD called "the Colosseum". This place has an old York weightlifting bar (like mine) and a full set of Werksan Bumpers.

I must admit, I overdid it. But it was ALOT of fun. I went ahead and paid for a week pass, so now I'm going to have to go back, regardless of how sore I am tomorrow. Finishing off eating grocery store food (chicken, pork pate, and spinach).
