I thought it might be time to start one of these while I work on my squat and olympic lifts. I’m not very good at sharing my training but I hope to keep the log up. I’m going to try and not be such an introvert with my training. One of my new year’s resolutions this year was to get out of my basement and I did get out but I haven’t trained at the gym for weeks now. So I still need to push myself out the door. Moar!
I started the lifts in February and have moved to training just squats, snatches and clean and jerk and little else.
My squat is decent but I want it stronger.
My snatches are coming along but I’m being conservative with the weight so I don’t hurt myself and get shitloads of reps in for practice practice practice.
My cleans are alright but I haven’t been giving them enough work because I’m obsessed with getting a the snatch working. I did a couple of snatches that felt REALLY nice, like the weight just flew up on it’s own and landed perfectly with me underneath! And I want to do that again.
I’ll post some videos and this past weeks training.
I’ll post my PRs as I get them from here on because I’m not going to count any of my rotten lifts of the past count. For the lifts I’m about form first so I’m trying to convince myself not to get hung up on the numbers.

This…is going to be an epic log. Those snatches were pretty damn badass. They are still a work-in-progress for me. Good stuff in here![/quote]
Hey Beast!! Thank you. Edit: Hiya Veggie too!
Snatches are sooooooo amazing:
I want to drop under the bar like this guy! I’ll listen to techno even!
LOG LOG LOG LOG Everyone wants a LOG!!! (everyone wants a body like DD) yay!!! This is great! I can learn so much from your vids. Thank you! The Log Song - Ren & Stimpy (Deadwood HoN) - YouTube - we need to re–write these lyrics for your LOG
YAY Deb!! I’m so glad you got a log up over here! Woot woot!
Your snatches are coming along great! And I think it makes sense to that you’d concentrate on them first! As my coach said, once you get the snatch the C&J will be a piece of cake.
Your snatches look great and I think you’re progressing really fast! Have you tried those drills that cloystreng did in the Oly log - where he places the bar at the sternum and drops under. I did these yesterday with a broomstick and I liked them. We’ll see what happens though when I get some weight in my hands. lol!
C&Js look good too! I think the bar travels a bit far out though and you still want to extend like you do in the snatch and drop under to catch it. No? Anyways, you’re doing awesome! And you have a great, low squat which will do wonders for you!
Sweet deal, Oh & I hear on sharing the training somedays (most days tbh) I come on and just put my workout and that is it. Not very exciting but it keeps me accountable.
