Snatch Coaching required

(82.5 miss) (85kg miss)

Today was frustrating. 80kg went up easy, but I didn't get it on video. I then attempted 85kg and failed. I next moved down to 82.5 but could not stick it. Above are some video's, input from anyone is welcome and appreciated. I have more videos of misses if required.

Post Snatch WOD to kill frustration was:

Snatch

Quick Snatch WOD pre-Saturdays Free workout
After a poor warm-up missing 70kg three times and 75kg once I found my groove
75kg x 1 x 4

This weekend has been busy, phase two of the garage insulation is going down. I should have it all complete and warm for Monday's evening classes.

Gotta focus on training harder....Competition is November 21st.

160x1

170x1

180x1

185x1

Just wanted to pull 400lbs today. 407 went up pretty easy. I think if I do a 1RM day I will PR, that makes me happy. Snatch felt really solid. 75kg next time.

Late Postings

Yesterday

Clean and Press 1RM 60kg (pathetic...haven't been pressing much)

500m Row 1:24.2

Power Clean 3RM

90kg, 100kg x 2 (should have done 95kg)

Today

2RM Satch

72.5kg

missed 2nd rep of 75kg twice...very frustrating

3RM Front Squat

110kg x 3

115kg x 2 (252lbs..not far off my 1RM)

5 rounds

10 push-ups

10 toe to bar

6:19

Toes to bar crushed me....need to work on them...they are harder than knees to elbows in my opinion.

Clamping down

• Snatch - 80% x 1, 83% x 1, 85% x 1, 87% x 1, 85% x 1, 82% x 1
• Clean & jerk - 80% x 1, 83% x 1, 85% x 1, 87% x 1, 85% x 1, 82% x 1
• Deadlift 145kg x 5

3 rounds for time:
20 kipping pull-ups
8 box jumps (36 inch)

4:18

Used 80kg and 105kg for my calculations. I will be doing atleast one of these workouts per cycle. I will try to maintain 3 on 1 off but I imagine it will be more varied than that. I have clamped down a bit on my programming and I am thinking it ahead a week or so. I want to do well in my O-lifting competition and get stronger.

Finally, I hit 80!!

My failed attempt at 80kg two days a go has caused me to lose sleep. I had to try again.

Good job on this on Pat. I know MU are harder for you in your small space. I had them up so I could get lock out on each rep.

Snatch and Clena and Jerk PR's

Today I cam and did heavy singles. I PR'd my Snatch at 77.5kg (171lbs) and missed 80kg. I blame my miss on a nurse he came and interrupted my workout to do a checkup for a life insurance policy I am buying. She took my blood pressure after my Snatch PR and it was still really good, 112/80 I think??

My Clean and Jerk session started when she was done with me and had taken some blood. I lifted 100kg (220lbs) overhead which was a PR for the jerk but I have cleaned 107kg before. On my 105 attempt I missed the clean 3 times...I was not happy. I think I can put it overhead but I will have to work on things more. Not bad for my lack of committment.

Metcon After

3 rounds

15 Pull-ups

10 Box Jump 36 inches

I will address the Barbell Cert comments this weekend...I do need to get some sleep. Thanks to all who read my blog and comment...I wish I had some time to get into this debate but it will have to wait until this weekend.

Snatch PR in the PR House

(75kg PR) 165lbs (77.5kg miss) 170.5lbs

Today I had a great lifting session with my dad.  I hit a PR and found some major errors.  You can see it in the video, I am jumping too wide.  This caused me to miss 77.5kg.  I can easily pull it high enough, I just need to get under it faster and not jump as wide.  Please add more comments if you see anything else.  Thanks.

Missing some posts

So I am behind...yesterday I snatched. I was warming up....hit 65kg without a problem and caught 69kg but ditched it hard trying to save it. I bruised the shit out of my ass and it just threw off the rest of my workout....was really frustrating.

The day before last Tyler and I did a Back Squat and Press WOD

Today was another variation of "Running Grace" from Max Fit USA

15 Clean and Jerk @ 137lbs

400m Run

10 Clean and Jerk @ 137lbs

There's Nothing Like Good Snatch

I have not Snatched in a while so it was not a big day for numbers.  Technique is coming along, I started low and worked up slowly to just 65kg, doing 7 sets of 3.  I land with the weight too far back...I think.    I shall post a videos below for your comments.

  

Post Snatch Max Fit USA WOD
