Here we go.
I'm starting a new log because I'm putting my powerlifting ambitions on hiatus at the moment so I can focus on Olympic weightlifting.
I just had a 2 hour private coaching session this morning on the Clean and Jerk and Snatch with Mike Gray of Outlier Barbell Club, a Catalyst Athletics affiliate here in my neighborhood of East Mission Valley, San Diego.
Still under the weather right now, so I couldn't lift as heavy as I wanted to today. Fuck you, flu.
So I had a smashing good time at Outlier and Mike was just plain fucking awesome as an instructor. Did I mention he's also an all-around badass and a Naval officer with over 25 years in the service? Hooyah.
So Mike observed my form scrutinously, pointed out a lot of my flaws, and helped rectify said flaws immediately. Then again, I'm a quick learner, so I can't not give myself a little credit here.
So here are some of the things I need to work on:
And here's my new program. 4 day split:
I will move up to a 5 day split after my numbers go up to a good range.
