2 power clean
“2” @ 100 kg (only first was power though)
1 @ 100 kg
2 @ 100 kg - finally!
“2” @ 100 kg - 2nd too deep again
2 @ 100 kg (very close call for 2nd. 50/50)

Fuaaaaark!
4a seated btn press
3 x 10 @ 50 kg
4b hollow hold
3 x 40 sec.
finding my groove with the olympic lifts. Power cleans were mainly too heavy and will be regressed.
The trick is to use so much weight, that no one would do that. If you put more weight over your head than they can bench press, you win (everything. You just win. Period).
Like you unrack and people think, yeah nice squat although tbh I thought he would be stronger. Than you launch it over head.
A couple of bad nights of sleep in a row. It affects me more the older I get. Since I got older this weekend, it probably affects me even more now, haha.
Also definitely feeling yesterday’s deadlifts, which make this day quite tough
1 hang snatch
5 x 2 @ 67,5 kg
2 clean & push press
5 x 2 @ 97,5 kg
3 front squat
3 x 5 @ 122,5 kg - puh that last rep there definitely registered on the RPSE @simo74
4 leg curl
4 x 12 @ 84 kg
5 lat pull down
3 x 12 @ 65 kg - mobility PR: I was able to do it fully supinated. Was uncomofrtable as fuck though.
Tough sessiona and good work, I reckon. Everything coming along nicely but that also means some fatigue build up.
Leg fatigue from the front squats made me struggle quite a bit here. That was unexpected and disappointing. The last set was finally decent. Really lacked stability from the legs here more than anything.
2 jerk recoveries
6 x 1 @ 150 kg - this felt pretty easy and routine
3 11” block pull
3 x 5 @ 190 kg
4a seated broad jump
6 x 2
4b incline db row
3 x 12
Not the best of sessions today but that may just be the price for two great sessions earlier this week.
Got axle tonight, any specific tips on the first part of the movement when you pull the bar bar and hit the thighs and get it to the belt. Generally when I clean the bar it goes no where near my legs. LOL
Set up with a big chest, hips lower than a standard deadlift. Slow from the floor - patience. You are going to do a parallel shift from the floor (so your knees extend, while your hip angle stays acute).
The second pull starts right around the knee passage. You are going to pick up speed here and bolt the hips forward to get both knee and hip extension.
The bar stays close to your legs while doing this and meets the legs when your at full thrust (lol) of the hips (sorry for the lol). Then the bar just “bumps up” to over your hips onto your belt basically.
