This is my second log …I’m currently finishing up rehabbing my second torn patella tendon
A little background, I’ve always been into sports and lifting. I’m a former D-1 athlete as well as a former d1 strength and conditioning coach- I’m fully CSCS certified as well. I have a beautiful 19 month old son who I have the pleasure of staying home with. I also coach high school track from Jan-May, so I’m not a total bum.
Height: 6’0 Weight:: I don’t have a specific ideal #, I have an ideal look.
Diet: I usually eat what I want but know when to cut back, I don’t count calories or anything like that - I go through these periods though were I won’t care and others times I’m really strict ( I know this makes no sense whatsoever to anyone haha)
Goals Where I train?
I train mostly at home, I have everything I could possibly need or want in our garage. Some days I will do track workouts at the school I coach at, as well as I sometimes lift there depending on practice/meet time.

I tried to learn to snatch earlier this year with fuzzy results. I have a lot of respect for you oly people indeed!
looking forward to more in your log!
The baby woke up screaming at 1:30 this morning, after awhile we put him in bed with us so we could get some sort of sleep. After that I knew today wasn’t going to be an ideal training day so I decided to make it a technique day.
AM: I’m trying to keep my ever day of running streak alive and I’m using the 1:2:3 method to build up
Ran .55 with Baby Cam in the stroller
PM:
Warm-up: 2 x 100
3 x 50 Jump rope with some doubles mixed in - my goal is to master the doubles haha
Full Snatch - Very light, focus on technique - No straps
2 x 3 @ 43kg
1 x 3 @ 47.5
----workout was cut short after that because Cam had woken up and my husband and his father where outside doing some things around the house, but that’s ok - that’s life
Weight 158.4 ( I don’t know why I’m dropping weight so fast, I’ve adjusted my eating but didn’t think it would be this fast, just need to make sure I don’t lose any strength)
Pretty sore from yesterday
Warm-up 4 x continuous jumps at least 50
Full snatch working on technique with no straps and light weight
1x3 @ 43kg
2x3 @ 47.5
Hang snatch With straps
1x2 @ 54.5
2x1 @ 56.5( max for the day)
1x2 @ 52
1x5 @ 43
Snatch Balances Need to work on flexibility and confidence in dropping under the bar to catch the weight in an Olympic position
1x4 @ 20.5kg (just the bar)
1x4 @ 25kg
3x4 @ 29.5
Very cool stuff in here! I LOVE olympic lifting, and am aspiring to be a college strength coach (currently just an intern right now). Were you a track athlete in college? Which event(s)?
Keep it up, I’ll being popping in from time to time.
@ Juniormint- I was an All- American javelin thrower, I loved being a strength and conditioning coach and truly loved working with the athletes to make them better athletes - but the pay + the work hours started to wear on me ( I was also at a top school) plus my husband and I wanted to start a family and work days that started at 4am and didn’t end till 4:30-5 pm weren’t very good mommy hours so we decided that I would stay home with the baby.
Now I sure as heck miss being on the sidelines every Saturday, but for us the negatives outweighed the postives …if you have ANY questions please send me a message I will answer them the best I can.
@ Alexus - Thanks, I was pretty excitied I wanted to do more but figured I was pretty tired and there is always tomorrow.
Started a new 6 week program, the MSU olympic lifting program…Week 1 & 2 are relatively easy - week 3 & 4 are killer- week 5 & 6 back down for testing week #7
MSU Program Week #1 Day #1 - these are roughly 50% of my 1mr
*Still working with about 50% of my 1mr
*I’m getting anxious to lift something heavy but I know in order to get stronger I MUST MUST MUST follow the program
MSUOLYM wk1 wrk 3 ( still working with 50-60% 1rm)
Warm-up: JR 4x50
Hang Snatch 6x2 @ 47.5 (105) - I struggled with these - just couldn’t wake my body up ended up using straps and just went through the motions…it was also 32 degrees in the garage, we went and bought a space heater today
Power Cleans 6x2 @ 52 (115) My body finally started to wake up, these felt like and snappy, didn’t use straps
Jerks 6x2 @ 61.5 (135) I honestly thought these were going to be a lot worse than they ended up…felt good putting some weight over my head again
Front Squats ATG 6x2 @ 45.5 (100) super light, super fast, super easy
Ended the session with a lot of stretching, PVC rolling and hip/back rehab
