Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

Long time no update, too much training not enough time! Attempting to do 5x a week training at the moment, although being into the summer now with weekends away diving in the mix sometimes it'll be only 4x or made up with 2 sessions in one day.

Things are going well in general, although jerks aren't too sharp at the moment - they just haven't been a focus of late. Have added in an extra session of rack jerks so they should come back up again soon.

Squats are going well, there's 2 easier and 2 harder (front squat triples and back squat 5s are the hard ones) squat sessions each week and have been able to add weight to those each week so far.
