L. O. G. (Lifting for Overhead Greatness)

[petpre61]

well, the way I've done em, is with max acceleration out of the hole, with weight a secondary concern. I can lift plenty of weight, but I'm way too slow for the snatch. Was told I needed to work on speed, figured speed squats/deads once a week would help out. Trying to add to my total so my coach doesn't call me a girl .

are you too slow while pulling yourself under the bar?

are you too slow while pulling yourself under the bar?

Could be, I'm not exactly sure. I have a tendancy to swing the bar out, instead of pulling straight up and dropping. I'm working on balance and speed right now, with weight being secondary. Figure I'll just practice form and worry about pulling more weight when I see the coach.

sorry about the bad video quality - my laptop is gettting slower by the day.

Embarassed I just saw that I screwed up the weight increments. i did 67,5 last week as well. Dang I was wondering about what was going on in my notebook since I though it should have been 70kg. anyway snatches felt good again. I had only one miss so I can see the improvement.

It sucks - I Deadlifted last week up to 405x5 and it felt fine. Then 2 days later I did some Oly Back Squats and 275 felt like a ton - did 5 and hung it up. Did some Snatch Grip High Pulls and they were fine as well, but next day ankle was a bit sore. Gotta be careful

Today I tried squatting again and got up to 315x4 (should have been x5 but on my last rep I took a big breath and swallowed my gum - hung it up - funny shit - felt like I swallowed a bug!) - 405x5 was my heaviest top set recently. I am amazed by how heavy 315 feels right now - it's frustrating, but I will work through it.

I am still a few weeks from going back to the Oly gym - jumps hurt, and I have to jump into the hole to train right.

Thanks for asking.

another great squatting PR. knees ached a little bit so I thought I will stick with 3 sets since I felt a lot better with the reduced volume on the squatting day.

FSquat
3x3 102,5kg

these were easier than I had thought.


Push Press
1x 77,5kg

lol. I decided to skip them after not feeling strong enough and crunching my pinky while dropping the bar when I missed the 2nd rep on the first set.

ellbows got up a little slow which forces me to adjust in the hole which
makes me grind out these front squats out of the hole. when the form is
good I dont have troubles getting out of there.
Jerks were surprisingly easy.
