Adrien's Training/Nutrition Log - Olympic Weightlifting & 5/3/1

I am not a client :-), I am part of the team and he is my coach.
I already have asked him, his objective is to have me perform in Oly lifting, no be jacked, have a big Bench or anything else.

So he suggested that I asked some of the other older team members and he told me that as long as I followed his program and recovered fine, he had no problem with me adding additional work.

Other team members have had success with the extra exercises I listed and suggested I do the same

Weigh in

I woke up at a 85,8 KG/ 189,1 lbs

Training

I finally took a little journal and wrote down all the sets & reps I was doing

Warm up:

  • OverHead Squat - Empty bar x 5 reps
  • Pressing Snatch Balance - 2 sets x Empty bar x 5 reps
  • Above knee Snatch (1 sec pause at the bottom) - 2 sets x Empty bar x 5 reps
  • Below knee Snatch (1 sec pause at the bottom) - 2 sets x Empty bar x 5 reps
    Main:
    Snatch (from the floor)
    -30KG/ 66 lbs x 5
    -30KG/ 66 lbs x 5
    -35KG/ 77 lbs x 5
    -35KG/ 77 lbs x 5
    -40KG/ 88 lbs x 4
    -40KG/ 88 lbs x 4
    -45KG/ 99 lbs x 3 (Failed 3rd rep)
    -45KG/ 99 lbs x 3 (Failed 3rd rep)
    -40KG/ 88 lbs x 2
    -40KG/ 88 lbs x 2(Failed 2nd rep)

Thoughts:
-Even though the weights are very lights, the training is hard and I am drained after that

-I have a big technique issue on the pull, I straighten my leg and raise my hips too fast, either making the bar hit my knees or making me have to jump forward to catch the bar.

-I probably need to work on my lower back strentgh (to keep the angle when pulling and not have my hips rise too fast).
I have lordosis and I always had a weak back (I look like Daffy duck with my butt sticking out). That caused me to injure my lower back a few times on the DL as i was pulling from odd positions and trying to compensate for a weak lower back. Since then, I have always avoided Good mornings, Romanian Deadlift, Stiff legged Deadlift, etc…
