today, 81.4kg
whoa those clean and jerks are intense. it's kind of funny cos it makes a fair whack of noise and makes you feel a little self-conscious as i have never seen anyone else doing them at any gym i've ever been too.... but i can handle a few stares.
OMG at the gym today this massive guy loaded up the lateral pulldown machine on max (96kg, fairly heavy!) and did his usual big loud snorts and grunts and banging and slamming etc... but then on the second set, he goes to take the weight of the stack (has to do it pretty explosively by leaning backwards and using his back etc) ...BOOM! cable doesn't want a bar of it, snaps immediately and he basically just hurls himself backwards onto the floor on his back and pretty near knocks himself out.
once it was clear he was fine it was pretty damn funny, i had to concentrate not to giggle.
anyway, yeah i'm obviously toddling along slowly but fairly consistently i think... benny might be losing weight faster but he had more to lose
so i reckon it might be fairly close at the mo.
a good competition is a tight competition though, and we're going for entertainment value ay benny.
