27/12/02

CleanGrip Hang Snatch
95lbs x 3, 100lbs x 3, 105lbs x 3 WOot New PR!!

CleanGrip Power Snatch
115lbs x 3, 120lbs x3, 125lbs x 3 WOot New PR!!

Damn I'm getting some power now! Form was excellent. PRs worked me hard, but not to the limit. Needless to say its all due to my increased oly squat strength I feel


Full Front squat - clean grip, no belt
230lbs 2 x 3
tough as per usual - 2nd set really pushed me hard
Not bad considering I had already done sets of snatches, snatch high pulls, snatch grip deads, and a few normal deads.

Weighted Dips +10lbs 3x8

[bignate73]

nice lifts! how high were the boxes?

 

[NWinters]

auctually it was a small chair that allowed me to go parralell with the floor. I just call'em box squats cause thats basically what it was, or maybe it was "small chair" squats..lol

500, benchmonster? You reverse hyper more than you pull? your erectors lift more than your whole body can?

yeah, Ridiculous, isn't it?

Of course with the Rev. Hyper, I am getting some swing to get going. I don't just hop on with 500 lbs loaded and bring the first rep all the way up. But yes, I did in fact do 3 sets with 500 lbs on the Rev. Hyper. When I first started doing Rev. Hypers I was struggling with 90 lbs, no kidding. As my Rev. Hyper strength has gone up, so has my deadlift, but sadly, not proportionally.

Also Spatts, you have to remember my ridiculous build. It is very difficult for me to get down to the bar. I absolutely cannot grab the bar conventional wearing even briefs, and when I wear a suit, it is tough to get down to the bar, even sumo. I just start off in a terrible spot for pulling.

I can pull 600+ in a rack with the bar just below the kneecaps, but have a terrible time off the floor. If you figure out why I am such a terrible puller, please let me know. It is really pathetic that I pull so terribly. If I had a decent pull, I would be able to get close to Elite next year, I think. But until I get something figured out on the deadlift, I am not going to be able do get there, unless I figure out how to squat 800 and bench 600.

Perhaps a hybrid pull that's more like a hanging front squat? That's similar to what I do, although I have the opposite problem....really LONG arms.

If you are training with all of us in Tulsa Jan 11th, we can look into it then.
