Nailed one of two of the jerks, slowly getting there. Snatches were decent enough. 105 clean was really nice, shouldve doubled it. Confident of a clean PR soon (PR is 110). Good session. | |||

MrSmall said:good stuff mate. Wouldn't go that far mate, the only bonus of my massive strength loss is that % wise I am now a vastly more efficient weightlifter!  | |||

shanejer said:what is a blast strap! In my case, its a pair of straps from Halfords designed for holding down a roof rack with the handles from a crossover machine attached to them. Hang them off a chin up bar and makes a pair of hanging handles, similar to gymnastics rings. | |||

Squatting was decent enough, feeling a lot loser in the bottom position and my legs actually get tired doing it which is certainly a novelty. I'd hate to guess at what I'd max at right now. It would be terrible. | |||

Wigan said: Try snatching from hang (just above the knee) or ideally from blocks. That will make you concentrate on your pull and should help you get your hips through more and reduce the likelihood of it going out off your thighs. Cheers bud. I'll give that a go tomorrow and see how I get on. | |||

Wigan said:Well done mate, sent it out a bit off the thighs, but a good lift. Keep it going!! Any tips how to avoid doing this? I feel like I dont quite finish the pull which lets the bar drift a bit? | |||

PAGAN said: Dont see why mate. Just watched your snatch vid and you look a powerful bloke. Mark Cleggs 'Strong As An Ant' comp could be right up your street if you trained for it. I saw that comp, I think it would create some tension with my training partners though as I'd smash in Paul_D and he'd hate it... I really don't enjoy most of the strongman stuff mate to be honest. I like barbells, logs and odd shaped s**t freak me out, I have no idea how you guys deal with it so well all the time. | |||

| Being in any strongman comp would be a f**king nightmare and I'd get fully smashed in by everyone! | |||

Burky said:Congrats on the BW snatch mate, that must be a good milestone to reach. Are you following any sort of template or are you doing your own programming? Right now, due to the current stage I am at in terms of my strength (way down) and techers (wank) I am training as often as possible. Most days in fact. This won't continue forever, certainly not for the strength work. | |||
