Front squats (ATG, pause, stance is slightly wider than shoulder width)
185x2
195x2
225x2
255x2
255x2
255x2 (workout seemed incredibly easier than the past days)
Snatch grip deads (no more grip problems!)
245x2
245x2
Power jerks from the rack (These are fun!)
135x (4 singles)
SW out snatches your rack jerk. So if rebuttle is based on lifts then I dont think you have many words to work with.
Rubbish session AGAIN (I think I’m getting too old for this!)
Snatch 90x (1+1miss) + 2 + 2 - pretty dreadful technique and they felt heavy as hell
Jerks out of the rack 80 2x3 - trying to concentrate on technical issues but were still crap
Front Squats 140 3x3
Bent over Rows 100 3x6
hands were sore, wrists were sore, felt tired cos my little girl came wandering into our room a 4.40am and refused to go back to sleep! Bad day all round :-((

See? Every adversarial action on the internet is inherently unfair. That’s why we try to keep it real. If you’re going to be a sportsman then it’s best to be sportsmanly.

Training in Bmore June 03 2009 by myself at 10:00pm
Getting healthier
Clean & Jerks:… up to 80kg!
-I took these guys slow, matter of fact I did them like my coach told me:
----high hang: pull+pull+clean
----bellow knees: pull+pull+clean
----bellow knees: pull+clean
----floor: pull+clean
I was real happy, because when i pulled the muscle was when doing a clean pull with 82kg.
Clean Pulls:… up to 90kg
-didn’t push it after that.
I still feel pain when I stand above the bar getting ready by tightening myself. Off the floor the bar moved slow, but there was enough power and good shurg to make the cleans and make the pulls racket.
RDLs: 0kg
Rack Jerks:
…this is something i could do. And since they came real easy I went for a PR!
missed a the 2blue ones, but I am happy. I am still recovering and did a 3kg PR Jerk.
Single Leg RDLs:
-3reps each leg holding
—>two 15lbs dumbells
up to:
—>two 45lbs dumbells
-1rep each leg with 50lbs dumbell.
As expected it was harder to balance while standing on my right leg.
Front squats (ATG, paused, stance is slightly wider than shoulder width)
205x2
225x2
235x2
265x2
265x2 (second rep failed)
265x1
265x1
265x1 (As far is I remember, this is how my front squat training went. There might be slightly less singles though.)
Snatch grip deads (grip problems but still a PR. I did heavy doubles and singles.)
Press (I experimented with some weird technique)
45x10
95x1 (Failed… I experimented with some really weird lifting technique… Definitely one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done in the weight room ever…)
105x2 (I kept on doing these weird things.)
135x2
145x1
145x1 (failed! Performance DRAMATICALLY dropped. It’s either I have severely over reached, or that weird things that I tried drained my energy… I dunno, but just to make sure, I’ll drop these for two weeks… maybe not, I don’t know.)

Stretch and Go HOME!
yeah good training day[/quote]
Now that you got the speed on the snatch down pat you gotta get that same speed on the jerk drive. Too bad about the pulled oblique/intercostal. I had that shit and it is 100% no fun and super easily reinjurable.
Wow, glad I missed the clusterfuck that occurred a couple of days ago. 2B, if you go through my posts, you will note that the direction of my vitriol was almost exclusively directed toward your self-described “arrogance” regarding finding a coach, and your repeated dicktucking when told how easy it would be to do so. I do not need to snatch double bodyweight to know that you need a coach.
I am taller than you, lighter than you, fuck, I even squat less than you, but I can kick your ass all over the platform in the snatch and clean & jerk. This should tell you something about the quality of your training, no?

There is definitely something wrong with my technique. I can’t deny that.
This is my first post in the Oly Lifting Log. So glad Avocado came up with this btw. I’m training for a comp in three weeks and thought this would be a good way to keep track of my progress and talk shit with a few like-minded lifters.
So anyway here’s my starting stats,
Weight Class: 62
Snatch: 60
C & J: 80
All weights are in Kgs
Today’s traning session:
Snatch balance:
30x3
35x3
40x2 - missed the 3rd one, so coach made me do the whole set again
40x3
45x3
50x3

TYPE2B: If you are going to post here, why not start doing some actual olympic lifts consistently? Although getting a coach first is the ideal way to do it, it is possible to learn quite a bit without screwing yourself up too bad, as far as injuries or bad motor patterns are concerned, especially if you post videos for form checks. From personal experience, I can assure you that if you are willing to wait a bit longer, its quite possible to learn some decent technique without any coaching at all. Its only taken me 37 years.
If we had such things as internet and video cameras back when I was a kid, it might have taken considerably less time. If you do, it will give you some legitimacy here in this thread and give you an appreciation for what Sneaky weasel has just accomplished, and what others here are doing on a daily basis. Bodyweight snatch, although not enough for success at a high level, is not an easy thing to do.
Congratulations Sneaky weasel on achieving that milestone. Best wishes for continued success.
anyhow, coach was yelling at me to not lift like chakarov basically. Bar comes in off the floor not out. So, gotta work on that and pushing knees out. Going to be interesting to see if i can figure it out and adapt in time for the meet. 67.5 was flying for the most part. Also, wrist + hands weren’t feeling top notch. oy?
Front squats (ATG, paused, stance is slightly wider than shoulder width)
195x2
225x2
235x2
265x1
265x1
265x1 (definitely an easy workout. I think I’ve hit the “sweet spot” as far as proper volume and intensity of the “daily heavy sessions.”)
PM session (6 pm)
Snatch grip deads (as usual, I could barely remember anything about this workout and my grip is definitely lagging!)
185x2
195x2
225x2
245x2 (second rep failed due to grip issues)
245x2 (same as the first work set)
245x2 (same as the first work set)

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “in off the floor”. If its what I think it is, bar moving towards your body as the bar leaves the floor, how is this a bad thing?

You don’t use a hook grip, do you? Start doing snatches again!

No. I only use a hook grip when snatching/cleaning. Thanks for the advice.
For my log entry today:
06,05,2009
Front squats (ATG, paused, stance is slightly wider than shoulder width)
205x2
225x2
235x2
265x1
265x1
265x1
Snatch grip deads
245x2
245x2
The annoying thing about the grip issues on my snatch grip deads is that it’s never consistent. It’s either my left hand fails, or my right, sometimes both.
