Nice relaxing week this week, went for new PBs for Squats and Bent-Over rows today.
Full squats (arse to grass)
10 x 60kg - shocked how easy and smooth these felt with my legs not being sore from all the running, normally do a 10km on a Saturday morning.
6 x 90kg
5 x 100kg
1 x 120kg
1 x 140kg
1 x 150kg (fail)
Squats felt fantastic, shocked how high I went up as 3 months ago I did 160kg squat to just above parallel.
Pull-ups
4 x 5
1 x 4
Decline push-ups
2 x 20
1 x 16 (with 3 more normal push-ups)
Bent over row - previous PB was 110kg ( done from the floor, last PB was done with the bar starting in the rack so was easy to get into position last time)
10 x 60kg
6 x 80kg
2 x 100kg
1 x 115kg
1 x 120kg
Power cleans (only ever really do these when I can't use the squat rack for overhead press)
1 x 80kg
3 x 8 - 60kg
Exercise ball Ab Crunches
3 x 20
2 x 10 (after finishing the last rep, I straightened my back and tried to hold it for a good few seconds, nice stretch on the abs)
Back to normal next week and will be roughly 5 weeks out from my first half marathon.

Out of interest, can you lot do Jefferson Squats and compare your 1RM to your 1RM deadlift? Just curious. I can't see why they wouldn't be the same... but maybe they aren't? I'd also like to know how your 1RM back squat compares to the above, too.
Never heard of a Jefferson squats *runs off to YouTube to have a look*pilchardthecat said:
Yikes! A girl!
Do we let them in here?!
We are all brothers and sisters of iron and sweat in here.Do we let them in here?!
They look very odd and definitely feel a little uncomfortable and nervous trying to explode off the ground with a Jefferson squat compared to a Deadlift, might end up pulling the bar too high. I doubt the PBs would be the same though as it looks like there's less back in the movement and also how awkward the positioning looks.

I fancy some strongman comps. Won't be competitive I don't think but it'll be fun.
Don't really need to be competitive tbh- just show up and have a go, placing well is a bonus. They're great fun- must have down ~20 of them ranging from last place to second place (no 1st yet!) in U90kg up to open weight weight categories. You should have a go, I think you'd do fine 
I've been looking on YouTube on how power cleans should be done and its a little different to how I was doing them yesterday, I've never been shown how to do them so presume that's where the differences lie. The first difference is that throughout the entire movement, my feet remain firmly planted to the ground, so I pull the bar as explosively as I can and then duck a little to get under it. The second seems to be the finishing position, I finished with the bar across the top of my chest and my forearms directly beneath the bar with elbows pointing down, as if I was going to press the bar straight after, all the videos seem to finish in a front squat position with the elbows pointing forwards.
Are there any issues with me doing it my way in terms of risking injury, I rarely do power cleans and when I do it tends to be light anyway to position myself for an overhead press, when the squat rack is being used, so if its wrong for me to do that, I'd rather stop altogether.
