Dynamic warm ups

standing broad jump, poor, must have only been about 2.75-79 at best? IF that? Maybe 2.68? Lets see how the session will go…

Snatch
bar work
40 x 3
50 x 2
60 x 1
70 x 1
80 x 1
90 x 1
100 x 1
105 x 1
110 x 1
115 x 0 : behind
118 x 0: in front
118 x 1 : equal PB sweet!!! I last did this back in October/ November or so? Didn’t really feel it, but I got under and got up out of the squat so that is all that counts

I’ve been working a pseudo dynamic start, less aggressive then what I use to do, and not a static start like I have been, so a cross, seems to have helped me in getting much better bar speed for the first pull.

C&J
bar work
50 x 2
70 x 2
90 x 1
110 x 1
120 x 1
130 x 1
140 x 0 : in front, better clean
140 x 0 : good clean, unsuccesful Jerk :stuck_out_tongue:
140 x 0 : good clean, lost the jerk behind

didn’t feel ‘it’ for the Jerk. Close but I think I’m fatiguing out. I’ll see how I go on Wednesday. Pretty f0cked off I didn’t even get 140 though…

Done

Hmmmm…good call on using the wall to stop yourself going too far! I like it! I’ll add start doing that as I can do perfect one from my knees but not from my feet. I can go out well, but can’t quite pull back yet! Doh!

Sup Brahs,

Competition in a week, currently tapering down. Gunning for 105/125. Snatched 102.5 in training, time for a PR. Cleaned 125 before and Jerk from rack 125 before, time to put it together. BW is at 77.7kg right now, so I have a large margin of error for weight loss. if I get that 230 total, that’s a 20kg jump in my competition PR. GIT SUM!

Do it up man. National qualifying total for 77 is 226, isn’t it? Still months away from the next qualifying period, but it’s nice to hit that milestone regardless. Crush that shit.

yeah, it is 226 for 77ers

FUCK YES.

TODAY’S FUCKING SESSION

Snatch - heavy single - 103x0, then 103x1, FINALLY GOT THIS MOTHERFUCKER.

C&J - heavy single - 121… heavy but not a max, could have done 125

Front Squat - heavy single - 135

Superset: Box jumps - 3x5 / Barbell Curls - 85 lbs x 8

*Note: I caught the snatch fine, which is good, but I didn’t stay tight in the bottom (this is the first time I’ve had this amount of weight in the overhead squat position). This caused me to lean forward a bit but after a couple steps forward I settled the bitch. NEW PR!

*Second note: All snatch pull variations (including the muscle snatch), are very effective exercises for me. It teaches me to not only handle/get used to heavier weight, but also keep my heels on the ground during the scoop. During the end of the second pull I have a tendency to let my heels come off the ground a bit if the weight feels heavy, resulting in mixed lifts. Snatch pulls are teaching me not to do this, and strengthening my posture in this position.

6/18/2010

I could not go to NJ to lift with the coach there… :frowning: I got called back to work after being driving for 1hr.
–needless to say I was pissed

So I went to my friend’s gym afterward and did:

Clean & Jerk:
-up to 100kg 1rep, 103kg 0,0,0 missed the clean
—OH YEAH! I am back in the game :slight_smile:

Back Squat:
-110kg 5reps, 115kg 2reps

p.s I can’t believe that stupid referee stole the 3rd Goal for the US.

Try with your left, I hear it feels like someone else. No muscle imbalances with this strategy.
