Fun log. With your squat strength, you should clean a lot more weight. I’d watch some videos and work on it. Also, high rep olympic lifting is kind of a dangerous road to travel, even with the light weight.
Most of the times this program wants them, it’s shooting for masses of reps. But yes; I should probably think harder about the form as it’s a movement I didn’t previously train. I did enjoy snatch grip high pulls a lot in my previous log
IIRC a T-Nation article about hang cleans but I can’t find it?
If you just google hang clean technique - there are lots of good videos.
OK so this looks good: https://breakingmuscle.com/fitness/how-to-hang-clean-the-only-3-things-you-need-to-know
Much delayed Friday on Monday, week 3 +5.
Squats, 135kg, 30 reps YAAAS
OHPs 5x85kg, 5x95kg, 4x105kg (sniff sniff about the missed rep but lower back complaining a bit…then I went back and fetched it. Ha)
Hang cleans. Trying out new, proper form here and turned into a disaster. 15x50, 12x60, 8x70,4x80,fail at 90. Work sets 3x5 @ 80 were a mess. I think I will need to take some time to sort out form and back off a bit. Fortunately next week is a relatively light week in the programme

Squat. 28x120kg, 19x130kg, 15x140kg, 8x150kg, 6x160kg. I should have backed off a bit to leave more for the final 90% TM set. Also the weight felt off centre for some reason?
