That's almost how I feel after a weekend of good training!

It's been so long since I feel like I've trained properly, due to work and hoem moving etc


Now that's coming to some kind of end (baby's due in a few weeks), I've kinda put a little more work in the gym.

Messed around with the barbells yesterday working upto 180kg squat, 230kg deadlift and 140kg continental clean and push press. Felt great!

So feeling a lot tighter than recent times I headed there again tonight, onot some kettlebell training.

Just let loose for some fun.

Did an uncountable amount of jerk sets from 32kg right upto 60kg. Couple of sets of snatches with the 32kg.

Second half of the session was playing around with the double 40kg Overhead squat until I managed a dodgy single rep (had about 20 attempts), followed by a 40kg SOTS press and 10 attempts at the beast 48kg SOTS (got one almost to lock out). Now my quads are fried but I feel great.

With a little more time on my hands I've rediscovered some strength and power through full body exercises.

Hope I can keep some up!
