RocknRolla

If you liked Lock, Stock and Two Smokin' Barrels and Snatch form director Guy Ritchie you are probably going to really enjoy his latest offering RocknRolla. I haven't seen it yet myself but by all accounts it is another rip roaring british gangster classic. If you see a policeman getting 'happy slapped' then you'll have also seen yours truly!

Here's the trailer...

Today I also went and did my first proper Olympic workout.

Nice warm up.

Power Snatch and Overhead Squat (PS+OHS) - barx10, 90lbsx3, 135x1x1x1x1x1x1, 155x1. One of those was actually a full squat snatch of sorts!
Power Clean and Front Squat (PC and FS) - 155x1x1, 180x1x1, 200x1x1x1x1.
Jerk From Racks - 135x3, 155x1x1, 180x1x1, 200x1. By that time my wrists were trashed.
Planks with 50kg platex45 secs
Plate Floor Press - 155x15, 135x4, 110x4 drop set.

       Observations.

• Both hands on the webbing have torn and are weeping as I type.
• I scratched my shins up which must be a good thing.
• I hit a squat snatch so I must have the flexibility in there, it's now about coaxing my body to go there.
• I changed my foot spacing which allowed me to go from the PC to the FS immediately.
• I am going to need to use the elbow wraps and wrists wraps for a while for the conditioning in those areas.
• It's all about timing and flow.
• My body feels really good. Worked but loose.
• My rear delt is still killing me. Even letting the jerks down with such a light weight was painful.
• My legs are plenty strong. Back will need work. Overhead not too bad.

All in all very good. It will get easier I have no doubt.
