Confused as to what this means.

You said something about snatch and clean form work done from the hang. Was not sure if you were doing extra stuff here or just describing your pulls.

Old guy confusion is strong with me.

 

[Jake Pudenz]

snatch and clean form work done from the hang. Both felt great, a noticeable difference in the catch for the clean. The snatch felt smoother as well. I've figured out the problem from last time.

If you are doing pulls then there is no catch.

Extra stuff.

i wanted an extra week or two of form work before i start adding weight again. so while i am doing that i decided to do some high pulls.

 

[belph]

I did snatch and clean form work after the pulls.

 

[Eric Brown]

I did snatch and clean form work after the pulls.

Cool, got it.

Expect other stupid questions later this week.

 

[belph]

Nah, it wasn't stupid. i can see how you got that confused. It happened to Jake too.


so i added this.

snatch done form the hang.
135 5x5.

power clean done from the hang
135 5x5.

honestly, the set and rep scheme is bull shit. I forgot the exacts however it's right around there.

 

[belph]

RDL's off a makeshift platform.

135 x 5
225 x 5
245 x 5
265 2x3
285 x 2

snatch grip high pulls.
135 x 3
155 x 3
185 x 3
195 2x3

snatch.
135 5x3
The beginning was shitty. however, the end portion was easy. That's a decent trade.

cleans.( plus a front squat after every set)
135 8x3
155 2 x 3
The bar hit my throat pretty hard on the final rep. i guess i fucked up somewhere.)

i may go out later and do some light squatting.

 

[squatsquatsquat]

If you are doing RDLs off a platform, am I to understand that you are able to bring the bar lower than floor level while maintaining lumbar extension?

Also, you're getting pretty damn strong. Snatching 135 for that much volume seems impressive considering you are still learning the lifts!

i am having a blonde moment, lumbar extension means keeping your back straight, right ? if so yeah, oddly enough my form was pretty damn good.

You are correct. That's pretty awesome, man. my inflexible ass can't do that!

 

[belph]

A certain stretch helped with that. i can't remember which, although, if i remember it i'll tell you.




Horrible shitty day.
front squat from the bottom.
135 x 1
155 x 1
176 x 3
195 x 1

i am having knee problems lately. it's an odd pain, i am not too sure what's going on.

One arm DB press.
45 lbs x 20

Strict press
135 x 10
155 x 3
165 x 2
175 x 0

Power clean
135 x 3
155 3x3
165 x1
175 x 3
185 x 1
195 x 0 (technically i did it. although my form as ass. so it's a failure in my head)

i don't know why today was so bad. probably a combination of things. I've lost some weight. i haven't pressed in a bit. yada yada *insert excuse number three here*.

positives: 135 was incredibly fucking easy. My power clean is improving nicely.

Other than RDL's, are you doing anything for your hamstrings? (only read back a couple of pages).

Also, good job on the power cleans.

No, Just RDL's.

thanks as well.

 

[Eric Brown]

No, Just RDL's.

You may wish to add GHR's or razor curls or something similar. Not that you are developing an imbalance, but strong hamstrings help keep your knees stable, particularly when your quadriceps are flexing (co-contraction).

I'll do some Ghetto GHR's after my snatch work tonight. Admittedly i am not a huge fan of hamstring work lately.

I actually am a fan of hamstring work. Only thing keeping what is left of my knees functioning. Dammit.

I am jealous of your diet.
