5kg in 3 weeks, really nothing special for the work you put in.
still good its up though, I thought you would have got more out of it though.
hmmma number of factors could have affected the 1rm lift.
2 assignment hand ins on thursday. didnt sleep at all tues or wed night. Didnt get a lot on thursday either due to coaching early on the friday too.
I'm happy with that.

Can't wait to finish this bullshit. I doubt my 1rm will go up again.
What a dumb way of training, sports science making programmes and training deliberately obtuse since 1908.
You are a patient man, Blaine.
It's very boring and tedious. Every session is dogshit hard with minimal signs of progression. I'm happy ive tried it, at least I know I would never program it.

you should just run smolov base cycle. comparatively it will be a breeze and your squat will be up 10-15kg.
I'll make a decision soon. ive 3 sessions of this study to do followed by 1RM and a few assignments. Il take a week off and then program. Most likely back into olympic lifting.
even better, when you gonna snatch 100?
Never!!

Decent return, will be interesting to see how much strength you will retain when you go back to your normal training?
