after 5 days off from food poisoning
light snatches
FS 285x2x6
snatch balance 5x5
feels like i broke my hips on the snatch today, in a good way
heavy front squats ftw
jerks have been always weak point of mine
attempeted 100kg for double again. Focusing on squats of late certainly took away from the lifts.
time to focus on lifts again

You don’t get your head through your shoulders and the bar is always in front of you. More so the 2nd Jerk and this is why you didn’t get it. You MUST get your head through.
You receive the bar over head but it’s in front and your shoulders are behind the bar = you will never recover it when it’s heavy.
I have this issue when it’s heavy as well. When I get my head through I make the lift. If I don’t I f0ck it up.
Rack Jerks once a week. Work on the tempo, position and not the weight. The better you are the more likely you will make Jerks count.

As a point of reference he can FS 165kg and BS 180. He also BS 162x6 after the 110 and 141 on the same day. No belt.

Yeah, I haven’t seen him post much in a long time. I guess if you have to be mistaken for somebody you can do a lot worse than him haha.

Yeah for sure. He’s pretty jacked man!
You’ve gone head to head with a few times right? What’s your score? What are you lifting now a days? 120 Close grip, so at least 135-140 now?!

Yeah, he’s a man’s man, that’s for sure.
I think we’ve only gone head to head once or twice when he tried to move up a weight class, he looks a lot better (and his sinclair is higher) when he’s down in the 94s. Pretty sure I had him straight up when we were in the same weight class though.
I hit 142/177 back in March, next comp snatched 141 and bombed at 175 haha. Spent a little time focusing on squats over the summer (nearly had 230) and still working my way back up with the lifts a little bit. Kind of fat though, been sitting around 111 post-workout. Hit 138/175 at a Klokov seminar today though, which was way more than I expected as I hadn’t hit more than 130/160 since August and trained last night haha. Started using a belt on squats and heavy clean and jerks about a month back too, still kind of figuring it out but it should pay dividends when I do.
Yeah he loves hunting and things like that. No chance of that in England.
Who doesn’t look better in the 94’s than in the 105s?! haha. You are a 105 right?
142 177 nice. I’m surprised you can’t squat 230 but that is unbelted so yeah a lot tougher.
How did you bomb the 175? Felt weak? Jerks? Cns?
Nice mate! Things are on the up for you then. What do you FS?
111kg BIIIIGGGGGGGG. Probably 108 on accurate scales if not a bit lighter and depending how much you have stuffed yourself that day. Last night I put away 1.5kg between pre and post dinner.
Belt on squats WILL make a difference to you. It’ll take some time getting use to it but it will help for sure.

I’ve heard tell that he’s hunted bears with a bow. That’s some man shit right there.

I would have to get pretty skinny/lean at this point to be a 94 haha. I like food too much for that.

Yeah, I’ve always been relatively efficient, but I should be able to take down that 230 once I work up there with a belt.

1st attempt-smoked the clean, while I was standing in the rack I was already thinking ahead to my next attempt, not focused, shorted the dip on the jerk and didn’t quite get it to lockout
2nd attempt-bit mindfucked at this point, left it a hair out front on the clean and lost it forward when i went to stand up
3rd attempt-strong clean, strong jerk, called for a pressout, 2 to 1 against (in all fairness, it was a pressout, would’ve been a bit of a gift had they given it to me)

Best front squats are 185x2 and 190x1, though I haven’t really tried to max out a front squat since early May maybe.

Haha I was briefly up around 115.7 over the summer while I was focusing on squats. I think the scales I’m generally on are reasonably accurate, or at least seem to be consistent. Though to be fair, I’m always weighing myself post-workout before I leave the gym, workout pants/shirt on, shoes off, and I generally consume about 2L of water during a workout which offsets whatever I’ve sweated off.

I’m counting on it.
Front squats are lame for a 230 BS. I guess the 190 and 185x2 were done with VERY good form and speed. Thus giving you a solid 142 177. Realistically speaking if your FS was sort of inline you’d be bale to do at least 200-205.
115?! wtf?! Did you eat babies and squat or something?!
I don’t think I’ve ever thought of my next lift during my lift. I’m too busy thinking must get this or I bomb! Or I don’t have a next lift haha.

When I hit those front squats my best back squat was 216. And yeah, I like to think I hit my front squats with pretty vertical position and good speed.

I basically ate ice cream and did squats haha. It was great.

Only time it’s ever happened to me. Live and learn I guess.

190 and 185x2 with a 216 BS is more like it.
I’m only a fan of ice cream when I’m on holiday or when I was dieting down. I don’t want ice cream when I’m not dieting.
When is your next comp?
