was also supposed to do good mornings but lower back was crying by that time
I’m so tired. This session was exhausting. Nothing too noteworthy besides that except that the jerks were decent and on both sets of 4 the last rep was close. If tomorrow I can do the snatches and clean and jerks well I’ll be happy.
just fooled around with some light stuff today. Noticed I was getting bruising on my top thigh on snatches and it was really starting to hurt today, and then I realized, hey I’m 6’2" my grip should be wider. So I moved them out to the almost edges and it felt much better.

You’re 6’2 and almost at the edges? Jeez, I’m 5’11 and my snatch grip has my hands maybe an inch or two off the collars. I always figured most people 6’ and up were out at the collars.

I’m about 4inches…wait a minute…I’m about half an inch on the outside of the small circles on an eleiko bar, so miles away from the collars!

I don’t know why I never noticed it before in youtube videos and stuff… even Chigishev, who’s 2 inches shorter than me uses collar to collar grip… if those superheavyweight guys are doing it, I should too! lawl
friday 11/2/11
snatch… or something
did bullshit today, whenever my pull was strong it would hit my pelvis. And it hurts now. I put on straps and tried some things and I think the reason it hits there even when I close my grip width is arms not loose. But when I have my arms really loose I just feel that the pull isn’t powerful enough. whatever I’ll figure it out
clean and jerks
2+1, 2+2x90
2+1, 1+2, 1+1x95
Not as good as wednesday’s but they weren’t as tiring for some reason
clean pulls to knee /w feet on 20kg plate
4,4,4,5,4,4x120
back squat
4,4,4x110
3,4,3x120
bench press
4,4,4x77.5
3,4,3x80
was also supposed to do pullover and push press. My shin is bleeding, my pelvis is in pain, my hands hurt and my lower back really needs rest(had to grunt through every rep of the squats). Yep, this was another exhausting session. It better pay off in the long run!

Well, all I’ll say is that if you’re gonna move your grip out further, it should be because you’re either more comfortable or can lift more weight that way, not cause that’s what the freaks are doing haha. Gotta do what works best for you.
Really wanted to work on dropping low with the snatch. It worked well at first, but it still needs lots of practice to get it done. Still got to a pretty good weight.
Snatch:
-40 kg x 2, 4, 3
-50 x 3, 2
-60 x 2
-70 x 2
-75 x 1
-80 x 1, 1, 0, 0
Hang Clean (below the knee):
-70 x 2, 2
-80 x 2
-90 x 2
-95 x 2, 2, 2
Single Arm DB Press: (just for fun)
-45 lbs x 5
-55 x 5
-70 x 1
-75 x 0 (couldn’t lift it)
Back Squat:
-135 lbs x 4
-185 x 4
-225 x 3
-280 x 3
-290 x 3
-300 x 3
Notes:
-trying to drop more with the snatches, because thats the part that is holding me back from snatching 90,95, and more. Based on my clean at 120 I should be snatching more.
-Back squats hit 300, which was cool. I haven’t squatted 300 since well before the injury.
-right shoulder hurting a bit when doing the shoulder press, I’ll take it easy with it tomorrow.
-After getting back from the gym, my left shoulder blade is hurting a bit, but it seems ok after some Nalgene bottle foam-rolling.

4+1+1, 3+2+1, 2+2+2, 2+1+1 x 60
also tried to figure out some stuff with straps. I think the reason the bar hits my pelvis is I tighten my arms and raise the bar a bit at the end of the pull(which from what I’ve seen plenty of even good lifters do but in my case its only going to hurt unfortunately)

yesterday was going to do snatches and clean + jerks, but the (olympic lifting) gym was crowded. So i just did behind the neck jerks for max lol. Got 150kg, missed 160kg, and on that 160kg miss I dislocated my left shoulder, gay. I guess it immediately went back in the socket but I had pain for about 30 seconds then it went away. Now it feels all achy but it’s not too bad, I have full ROM. Hopefully this doesn’t become a problem.
Snatch
bar work
PS 40 + 40 full snatch
PS 50 + 40 full snatch
Snatch
60
70
80

95 solid
100 solid
C&J
bar work
50 x 1
69 x 1
85 x 1
PC 100 + split jerk
went to the toilet
110 clean felt heavy, too long on the john,
120 x 1
125 x 1
No misses so thats good. Snatch felt strong, Clean felt okay, okay off the floor, squat up a bit hard, jerk felt a bit lazy. I was fast under it but it was ahead from 110 onwards.
Decline sit ups

Better then the rubbish Wednesday session. Getting over my illness is bringing snap and strength back in to my lifts.

Ouch…sounds harsh!
I’m going to work my behind the neck Jerks also after the English. C&J 3x then Snatch 1x. One of the C&J sessions I’ll do some PS also.
