Tommy Matthews' 40 Lifts for Lent - Day 29

Day 29 was a big day for training, not only did I have my 40 lifts to do but we also had the Lifting Club in the evening. So I saved everything until the evening, I did the GS work first and then had the pain of doing 40 lifts straight afterwards. I then had the fun of driving 3 hours to Leeds for a meeting in the morning! Happy Days!



Day 29 looked something like this....



2 arm Jerk 24's

Set 1

5 Mins 43 reps

Set 2

4 Mins 28 reps



assistants

1 arm jerk 32kg

4 mins total 2mins on each side

11 to 12 a minute



Snatches 24kg

4 mins total

BJ forgot to count, but roughly working at 12 a minute.



The extra little things BJ has learnt whilst being in Greece have been invaluable. I've refined my snatches more so and have found some great new tricks to help the jerks. Now looking forward to the competition on the 16th May.



Now back to the 40 Lifts! Well after all that I was feeling pretty knackered, so i did a quick circuit of:

5/5 windmills

5/5 Cleans

5/5 1 arm swings

10 2 arm swings

with no rest and that finished me off!!
