At the Gym at 06:20!

Posted in General Colin McNulty Stuff, Olympic Weightlifting at 10:01 pm by Colin McNulty

I didn’t make it down the gym last night, as work finished late. So I went this morning before work.

Yes, I can reliably inform you that the world does actually exist at 05:30 in the morning, contrary to popular belief, and driving is actually a pleasure on the empty roads. Yes, 06:20 saw me 10 minutes early for the gym opening in Cardiff and doing squats and press ups on the pavement! So this morning:

- Snatch practice, up to 3 good lifts @ 70kg.
- 3 x 3 Snatch Pulls @ 80kg
- 3 x 3 OHS @ 80kg, only I finished the 3rd round with a set of 5, which I’m sure is a PB, but don’t have my chart to hand.

A shower followed, into the suit, a leisurely drive out of Cardiff (most cars were going the other way) whilst eating rare steak, almonds, and cherries off the passenger seat, and I’m in work for a very respectable 8:15. Marvellous. Just a 9+ hour workshop to endure; day 3 of 4! *sigh*
