concept 2 guru Member 1235, 4675 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 220547.5 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Cheers guys! I really couldn't ask for more after such a nightmare 6 weeks of fannying around! Looks like I've come back lighter and stronger so I'm delighted! Just need to tidy my tech up on snatches and not bottle it with heavy weights and I really think I could do 100. When I watch vids the height I'm getting is excessive if anything! Lots of pocket snatches, snatch balances and OH squats are in order! To qualify for English I need 227 approx 100/127 and this becomes my only goal in lifting for the foreseeable!! Owen, yes they're tiring but you get used to it you're going to be mad good now you've got some actual coaching! | ||

Warning over the top camp reaction I'd skip to 35 too Not as bad as i expected after you said it was "ugly" No press out, thats the main thing right? | ||

concept 2 guru Member 1235, 4675 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 220547.5 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Lol cheers mate It would pass in a comp but there's loads to fix. My main issue is being able to get into a full squat position with the heavy weights. I'm focusing so much on finishing my pull I forget the cach bit! Also need to be a lot tighter from the floor... | ||

Felt crap all sets but this was the best. Lower bak too tight to want to go heavier. Btn pp 50 x 5 70 x 5 85 x 5 100 x 3 pb. Wanted 5 but no way today, not awake enough! Snatch pull 70 x 3 sacking this off because i need to sort my actual snatch! Snatch Bar x 5 30 x 5 x 2 40 x 5 x 2 50 x 3 60 x 3 finally stopped throwing these in front! 70 x 1 post injury pb and I caught it well 80 x F what am I doing? 80 x F ok call it quits! 80 x 1 84 x F silly idea 84 x F don't be daft 84 x 1 88 x F idiot! 88 x F great Sesh but time to go home 88 x 1 BEST MOMENT IN MY LIFTING LIFE!!! All time pb and 2kg over BW for first time ever! 90 x F 90 x F 90 x F 90 x F oh we'll! Actually power snatched the 88. I don't feel comfortable getting low but my line was decent so the bar was jumping high enough. Lots and lots of snatch balance needed me thinks! I am extremely glad after that 4th 90 fail you said "oh well" instead of falling over again... this is from alex I didn't realise this was on Petes account | ||

concept 2 guru Member 1235, 4675 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 220547.5 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Useful session today! Snatch Pull; high hang snatch; pause at the bottom of the catch bar 30 two complexes 40 two complexes 50 60 70 F 70 74 F 74 80 Good! Fails were due to lack of flexibility in the bottom, not losing it forward like normal! This is something I can fix. Actually caught the 80 like a full snatch although it was a tad spazzy... Clean pull; high hang clean; Jerk 50 70 80 90 100 106 Good rep, jerk a bit wobbly but I feel like I know what I'm doing now. Back Squat 80 x 5 100 x 5 134 x 5,5,5 Good reps, not peaked yet. working towards 3x5@150+ before the comp. Good session! Hopefully left a bit in the tank for tomorrows training. Friday max I'm after some big PBs!! | ||

SQUAT then! You always seem to do the lifts first (which isnt a bad thing) But have some squat/strength days, and do the lifts afterwards. Swapping exercises always makes 1 harder than the other and vice versa but your body will adapt. Like you say, why would you wanna get pinned with a clean? (easy for me to say as i FS 70kg more than i can power clean haha. I wish id get pinned with a clean )  | ||

(easy for me to say as i FS 70kg more than i can power clean haha. I wish id get pinned with a clean ) Nah, my squat's going up, albeit bit by bit, and I'm getting better at the lifts. That's my priority. I squat 3 times a week and it's going up along side my lifts. The 121 clean I've done recently was fine and if I get to a point where I'm above 130 (bear in mind I need to jerk it too...) then I'll do a bigger drive to get my fronty up. I think it's all on the up so won't change anything for a while! | ||
