Had my first TSC for the first time held in Germany hosted by Sven Rieger in Stuttgart. Nice likeminded people in a well conducted competition.
My preparation as I registered a week ago was "to not prepare", or my physical preparation was quite general. As I and you can see from my log, I am for the last 9 months or so dedicated to A+A snatches, S&S and easy endurance work. I think I did about 80% in my weight training single bell work.
for the numbers, it went as follows, for open division:
bodyweight: 85,4kg
Deadlift: 170kg - 190kg - 210kg, no fail
Pull Up: 15 reps
Snatch, 24kg: 108reps
to the deadlift: the last time I exposed myself in my training to the bar was summer 2017. Last week I pulled a few singles up to 180kg it felt quite heavy, so I did 170kg as opener, and was in the end very pleased to pull 210kg. It was a grind but I felt I did not totally max out. The weight choices were perfect for the day. So my pull was 2,46 times my bodyweight and I lifted not significantly more per pound in the past.
Pull Up: Although I have rings in my appartement does not mean I use them. The last time I used them more frequently was also summer 2017. As the reps are judged keenly I got 15 strict bodyweight reps.
5min snatch test with 24kg: this is the discipline I train generally and frequently, but the test not specifically. I did lots of A+A snatches with 40kg for repeats of five. In the last few weeks I went for 3-4 reps per repeat with 44kg or 45kg. The last 5 min snatch test was at my SFG2 in November 2015.
I found a nice not to fast cadence. I needn't park the bell, switching hands every ten reps. Yesterday I practiced the speed switch for the first time, eventually I got it. But I thought it could be a bad idea to actually incorporate it today as I don't want to wear a crash helmet. So I swung for one rep to switch hands.
I was very pleased with my breathing, as I managed to nose breathe for two breaths for each rep. My always shredded hands came away with no additional abuse. When watching my hr I came not into the red zone.
It was well worth to sit seven hours in my car today to be getting to the TSC to meet nice men and women to see were I am at with my training and having my personal n=1 evidence of @aciampa A+A philosophy. plus having a baseline for the autumn TSC. My Results are far from epic, but I am very pleased with it and had a great experience.
