Friday AM - Smolov Jr Squat Session

Smolov Jr Squat split from rest of workout. Took an hour total.

Back squat: 8x4x80%
-135x5
-185x4
-225x3
-268x4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4

Notes:
-that sucked.


Friday PM - Snatch PR, Clean and Jerk PR

It has been too long since I set a good PR in one of the quick lifts. I went out today with stiff, tired legs from Smolov this morning, but a great attitude. I was going to PR or die trying. It took over 10 missed attempts at max weight, but I left with a PR in both the Snatch and Clean and Jerk, each by 3 kg. And I got video. Nothing looked pretty. My hips came up early in the snatch for most of them. The squat was two wide. The cleans almost pinned me because of Smolov in the morning. The jerks looked atrocious, although at least they felt strong. But I got it anyway. So say what you want about my form in this session, but you can’t question my work ethic.

Snatch:
-40 x 3
-50 x 3
-60 x 2
-72 x 2
-75 x 1
-79 x 1
-84 x 1
-90 x 1 (previous max, got it in one try)
-93 kg x 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 (PR SNATCH!)

Clean and Jerk:
-70 x 1
-80 x 1
-100 x 1
-110 x 1
-115 x 1
-120 x 1
-123 x clean and miss, clean and miss, 1 (PR!)

Skipped the dips and curls because I got 2 PRs so I deserve Chipotle!

That’s brilliant! i may just do it!

Saturday - Smolov Jr Squats, Press Max Attempt

I was feeling terrible in the legs after yesterdays PRs. That was NOT SMART. I knew it wasn’t smart at the time, but I powered through it today. Next week, with +15 lbs, that won’t be an option and I will need to cut the Oly lifts way down to get the squats right.

Back Squat: (10x3x85%) -this took about 50 min
-135 x 5
-185 x 3
-225 x 3
-285 x 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3

Press: (attempted max, not that I really wanted to after jerks last night, but I wasn’t going to be able to accomplish much with sets across either. Gave it a good shot)
-95 x 5
-115 x 3
-135 x 1
-155 x 1
-170 x 0,0,0 (attempted PR, max 165)

Weighted Chin:
-BW x 4
-40 x 5, 5, 5 (this felt really easy, I’m getting back into the groove of doing these)

Weighted Situp:
-60 x 10, 10, 10

Notes:
-those squats were punishing. I am not looking forward to doing that with 300 next Saturday. No heavy pulling off the floor next week. Gotta go light.

koing - i need to work on my pitch, clearly :wink:

For the next couple weeks i will (injuries allowing) focus on front squat and overhead pressing. I’ll be trying to do each twice or more per day working up to a daily max every time and hoping my injuries will slowly get better

today i only squatted once reached 115kgs
overhead press some 60 some 65s

only a few light squats today. left knee is feeling worse than right one actually(left is the one with the older injury). Tomorrow it should be fine to squat

overhead press reached a few with 67.5kgs.

I’m hoping to reach 135-140 and 75kgs respectively.
