Worked on getting elbows high and wrist back on the clean as I still cant catch properely but doing it everyday so should come soon

Hi sorry for delay ,
Strength and Conditioning just takes up all my mind and time! I swear one of those discipline's the further you get into it the more addictive it becomes.

But some recent updates.

Done easy 80kg power clean.
Snatch is actually touching my upper thigh now and getting under it quicker.
Still need to get my elbows up more just cant get my little pinky finger under when I clean so i cant go in to the jerk.

If anyone got any good advice to get elbows up, such tight back and triceps.

Really working on core as well as I haven't really ever focused on it.

Booked on a BWLA weightlifting course to get some proper tuition and got it paid for so that was also really cool.

Hopefully get my squats up to 180-200 mark soon with out wraps.
Looking at the BPC comp in April.
Really fancy try 220/140/220 but its along way to go

Todays session

Warm up

Hip/shoulder/wrist/neck circles
Shoulder rolls
3 different glutes and piriformis stretches
Hip flexor.
Standing vertical jump
Overhead squats


Deadlift

Worked up to 180kg x3
Hanging leg raises 4x10
Standing long jump 3x4 no clue of distance as just use the matts to gauge where i am.

good session , need to post more regularly.

Found a brilliant youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/ExerciseBioenergetic?feature=g-all...

If your in to track and feild or weightlifting its got some truly great videos and slow motion analysis

Mixed session today.

Started with Paused back squats
100x3
120x3
140x3
Reasonably happy with this.

Front squats
100x5 3 sets
Legs destroy this weight but clean grip still an issue

Went onto the floor and this is where fell apart.

Cleans
60kgx3 xmany sets

Whilst this weight I thought should feel easy it just doesn't, I realised I have very little if any shrug. So went on to power shurgs.

Then realise the reason I have no shrug is because I have no strength in my shrug at all I was struggling shrugging 80kg , especially grip wise I have tiny hands and cant get my hand to do hook grip.

So don't 80kg for abit felt like I need to drop down so done 60kg which is just pathetic. So now poer shrugs will become a key issue to work on

Finished with hanging legs raises.

-Whilst I know I will never have great Oly lift I would like to actually be able to hold onto 80kg in the snatch grip.
