Trying to Throw Weight Around

PM Session:

Hang Snatch (pos. 1): 245x1x6

Notes: Really good today. This is the first time these have ever felt remotely decent. Dave was happy with them, too, so maybe I'm on to something.

Clean & Jerk: 295x1+2x4

Notes: Pretty easy. When we do clean & jerks this light, it always seems like I have to try "less" when I'm cleaning because otherwise I just pull it way too high.

Squat: 365x5x5

Notes: ACE wraps and belt. Pretty easy.

Ab Stuff: 3 rounds
 
Power Snatch+Hang Power Snatch: 210x1+2x4

Halt Clean: 320x2x5

Front Squat: 385x3
350x6

Notes: Supposed to do 2x3 for backoffs but it felt light, so I just did all six.

Power Jerk: 275x2x5

B.O.R./GHR: 275x10x3/Medium+Heavy Bandx10x3

HSPU/Back Ext.: 1x10, 1x6, 1x4/45x15x2

Notes: I came all the way back around to using knee sleeves today and this is as pain free as I can remember lifting.
 
PM Session:

Block Snatch: 285x1
255x2x3

Notes: These were really poor last week, so I stuck with my week one weights. Much better than last week.

Clean & Jerk: 330x1x6

Notes: Really good. I did the last three power because they were easy and I was short on time.

Squat: 395x3x5

Ab Stuff: 3x20/3x20/3x20
 
Front Squat: 395x1
360x2x2

Notes: Not bad. Felt heavy but stayed pretty vertical.

Power Snatch: 255x2x4

Notes: These were probably all PR doubles.

Power Clean & Power Jerk: 295x1x4
 
PM Session:

Power Clean & Jerk: 355x1
320x2x3

Notes: Did these all power to see if I could. I could.

Snatch: 265x1x6

Notes: I decided to ditch finding a better way to get a deficit because I have a meet in three weeks and I'm not feeling totally comfortable off the floor right now.

Ab Stuff
 
Is that "last christmas" ? Awesome if so.
 
It was, indeed. You have a keen ear for George Michael, apparently. Good work.
 
AM Session:

Power Snatch: 265x1
235x2x3

Power Clean: 310x2x5

Paused Front Squat: 375x3x3

Thanks, brah.

Its one that I'm hosting, so it should be fairly low pressure. I just want to get in some good attempts and look for a 6/6 day.

I plan on doing at least two more before Nationals in August, so I should be ready for a good showing.

Power Snatch+Hang Power Snatch: 220x1+2x4

Notes: These felt really good today. I was finishing vertically and through the floor fairly well.

Halt Clean: 330x2x5

Notes: Not bad but I was getting folded a little bit.



Front Squat: 400x3
365x3x2

Notes: 400 felt a bit heavy but it is the heaviest triple I've done in awhile.

Power Jerk: 305x2x5

HSPU/B.O.R.: 1x10, 2x5/275x10x2
 
Holy shit. You figured out how to power jerk ?! Kidding


I'm honestly surprised you didn't just push press them
 
I'll be honest, I'm just as surprised as you are that I actually push jerked them. It would have been easier just to push press them.
 
AM Session:

Snatch: 265x2x5

Notes: These were supposed to be power, and there were a few thrown in there, but I am terrible at power snatches, so to hit five doubles at this weight is a tall order. Snatches were all pretty solid, though.

Power Clean: 345x1
310x2x3

Front Squat: 425x1x5

Notes: These felt really heavy, but I haven't this kind of volume at this kind of weight in a long, long time, so its a big step back in the right direction.
 
PM Session:

Block Snatch: 310x1
255x2x3

Notes: Really, really good. No misses and solid speed.

Clean & Jerk: 355x1x6

Notes: These felt heavy as shit.

Squat: 395x3

Notes: Supposed to do five sets, but I ran out of time and was just mentally cooked.
 
Snatch: 245x3x4

Notes: Outside of three reps, these were all really good.

Power Clean+Hang Power Clean: 265x1+2x4

Notes: I didn't feel like doing full hang cleans. Really easy.

Split Jerk: 355x2x5

Notes: These were pretty solid, but didn't feel great. That is huge because I still hit all of these without a problem and my best double ever is 375.

Pull Ups: 3x15
 
AM Session:

Front Squat: 420x1
375x2x2

Power Snatch: 235x2x4

Power Clean & Power Jerk: 305x1x4

Notes: Everything was surprisingly easy today considering I went to a concert last night and didn't get home until 1:30 and had to be up by 6:00 for my before school group.
 
PM Session:

Snatch: 290, 305, 315

Notes: I wanted to hit my planned snatch attempts for the meet in two weeks because I haven't had a lot of practice with heavy attempts from the floor. I smoked them all.

Block Clean & Jerk: 335x1

Notes: This was really easy. I just completely ran out of juice after this. I'd say the lack of sleep was the main culprit, as I wasn't able to fall asleep when I tried to take a nap. Still a good day.
 
Block Snatch: 220x3x5

Notes: Pretty good. I was moving fast and everything was pretty vertical.

Power Clean: 375x1x4

Notes: Not too bad, actually. I was surprised.

Wide Grip Pull Ups: 3x10
 
AM Session:

Power Snatch: 255x1
235x2x3

Power Clean: 330x2x3
330x4

Notes: I combined the last two sets because they were easy.

Paused Front Squat: 395x2x2

Notes: Supposed to be 3x3 but I wouldn't have gotten the third rep of the sets and my right wrist started bothering me during the pause.
 
Hang Snatch (pos. 1): 265x1x6

Notes: Not very good today. Reps got worse as they went on.

Clean & Jerk: 355x1+2x4

Notes: Jerks weren't feeling great today, but still smoked all of these.

Squat: 405x5x5

Notes: Back to pain free back squatting, which is good. I absolutely hate squatting, though.

Going to do the ab stuff tomorrow.
