 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6843 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Well done on the 100 OH mate!!! Just been watching your snatch workout. Nice work, although i'd be tempted to bring your feet a little closer together in your starting position. As you are starting with them quite wide apart when you move them forward and out to receive the snatch they are very wide apart and may hamper you hitting the bottom positions with your top weights. Also, for hang work and pulls get yourself some straps you'll find it better especially for your heavy pulls. Keep it going mate, your progress so far is impressive!!! | ||

Member 312, 99 posts | Hey guys!! Thanks alot! i've wanted it for a while and after last weeks session where i could hardly get 90 OH i thought 100kg would be a long time in the making. Wigan cheers for the tech advice, yeah i'll try and keep them in closer - i do seem to jump them out quite wide though as you say. The sort of duck foot position feels quite comfortable to me. Also do you think straps are an essential bit of kit? ive never used any before as my grips never felt a lot like the limiting factor. I think there may be some lying about in the gym i can try. Can you still adopt a hook grip when using straps? Cheers lads! Tom | ||

I'd say they are essential for pulls otherwise it will become a grip exercise, and desireable for hang work (snatches not cleans). Give them a go, i doubt you'll go back to not using them. You can hook grip with straps but i dont think many people do | ||

Member 312, 99 posts | Cheers for the advice Wigan! Mark and Andy thank you both too!  Well i realised on the way to the gym id forgotten my bloody shoes. Found a pair of Polish lifitng shoes 2 sizes to small lying about so i used them. strict OHP - the aim was to get 60kg 5x5. 20x8 30x8 40x6 50x5 working sets 60x5 - PB 60x4 - s**t 60x5 60x4 60x4 oh well, its better than last time where i got 5x4. Then for some reason i did some isometrics (im naughty i know) at my ohp sticking point ss with jerks. 3 sets of 10s pushing as hard as possible ss 60x3 jerks Face pulls 30x15 35x10 35x12 35x10 35x10 35x12 then some terrible floor presses, all in all it was crap. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6843 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | You need to be squat cleaning when you do your clean and jerks mate, slipping into pwr cleaning them is a bad habit and will, long term, possibly do more harm than good. Power clean when you're on power cleans, and squat clean when you are on squat cleans, otherwise you'll mix yourself up and end up with a tendency to revert to trying to pwr clean it when things get tough... | ||

Member 312, 99 posts | Unable to get to the platform tonight due to transport problems. so i did sprints on the beach instead 10x50m 3x100m - was gonna do 5 but my lungs felt like they were set to collapse. BOAR would be proud of me. Should probably do more of this sort of thing - it was enjoyable too as its a brilliant night here, suns out! | ||
