Since I just learned this year do I get to start at 0?
I think the first thing I ever did that closely resembled a snatch was back in march and that was about 30 kg and my clean and jerk was about 40 kg. My best snatch is now 57kg and my best clean is 69kg and best jerk is 67kg. My technique still sucks and I can FS 75kg for a triple and haven’t done a lift that really felt too heavy yet so I think I have more newbie gains to come soon! I weighed 57kg at the start of the year and I’m now having trouble staying below 63kg.
so:
training sn 30>57 cj 40>67
comp sn 45>52 cj 60>65
My new year’s resolution was to learn how to snatch half-decently.
Sn- 107 (damn near got 108 the other day)
CJ- 125 (I’m good for 130 right now, I’ll get the bastard soon)
Cn- 127
Rack jerk- 136
FS- 170
BS- 200
PS- 95
PC- 110
Not bad progress overall for me. I hit the clean PR way back in June though, so that’s been stalled for a bit. It’s my nemesis!

Same mate. I’m hoping to get some PB’s before the year is out!

Your technique is pretty good on the Sn and Clean. The Jerk is coming along.

Still lots of room for improvement! I think I’m happy with my progress for the year. I was hoping for bodyweight snatch sooner but I think it won’t be long.

2-3months
What is the most you’ve attempted?

I hope so! 58kg was close. I haven’t been able to hit more than 55kg for a while now though. I’m catching kind of sloppy and my feet are twisting. I think if I tried I could PS 57 or more but I’m trying to break the habit and be better at getting under.
My hip is irritated and I’m wondering if that’s what’s screwing up my feet because it’s tight or something.
Hey guys, I don?t do Olympic lifting but I have been practicing the snatch (power snatch) for about the last 3 months and I went for 70kg to 95kg I should hit 100kg by year?s end. Mind you it?s not the best technique by far but I?m happy with it.
As soon as I can sort out my wrist flexibility/ mobility I will start working on some cleans
At the beginning of the year, if memory serves, my bests were:
125 snatch
160 clean and jerk
175 front squat (may have been 170, can’t remember for sure)
201 back squat
Generally speaking I wasn’t getting close to those numbers very often though. Had a few blah competitions in the spring, basically spent the summer working a lot, working out about 1x a week and getting skinny. Started getting my shit together again in August, and since then:
135/166 in competition for a 301 total (probably good for 170ish that day though, stupid mistake on my part)
couple of narrow misses at a 137.5 snatch the other day
175 clean and jerk yesterday
over the last two weeks, front squatted 165x3, 175x2 and 185x1, and back squatted 185x3, 195x2 and 210x1
Overall I’m pretty happy with how my year went, haha.
Yay cleaned 72kg today so my best clean goes up. No jerk though. I locked myself in the basement and wasn’t coming out without a pr for the last workout of 2011
1.3% on the CJ in a whole f0cking year…OMG.
