How are the snatch's coming along ??

I like seeing all the references to "snatch" in your journal

Was happy about getting two singles on the push presses (they felt nice)
But I wanted to jerk the 245... Just simply didn't get low enough to lock it out

Two more reps than last week = Good...

yellowmoomba · 10-24-2005, 04:59 PM

I'd much rather see you talking about "snatches" then "jerking"

LOL

FS's were strong cause I skipped C&J, but I didn't think I'd hit a 140k!?!
Took it slow on the snatch's, more work on those to come, look for OHS's...
Legs pretty blown out though -

I am also starting to get some muscles again -

yellowmoomba · 10-27-2005, 06:10 AM

Congrats on the PRs! FS's are tough. 140k is a lot

Keep working that snatch

**P-funk** · 10-27-2005, 09:55 AM

great job. It is nice to sometimes skip clean and jerks and just squat (lol). I forgot what it feels like to squat with out being tired.

http://media.putfile.com/26oc05-front-squats-140k

(The 140k was kind of a mental barrier, I think my squats and other lifts
will improve just knowing my body can do that)

The lift didn't feel clean when I hit it,
if you look there's a hiccup in the motion on the way up (I dropped my eyes)
And unfortunately, I didn't get clear vid of the 120k double... (which was freakin perfect)

Video clips are cool! Do you always go ass to grass, even when increasing the weight?

If I go too heavy I can't go that low but I always try to.

Shitty WO!!!! (I felt like shit)

WARMUPS/STRETCHING

OHS
55x5
65x5
75x4
85x4
95x4

@ 85lbs I narrowed my grip 3-4 inches (both sides)
gave me a bunch more stability -

HANG SNATCH (from knees)
55x5
65x5
75x3
85x3
95x3
105x2
115x1,0... ,2

C&J (singles)
135
155
175
205
(all weak)

BAD sleep last night + not enough good food early this morn = weakness

The snatches were good though, really concentrated on snapping my hips
seemed like the bar was traveling in a straighter line today

I hit more weight off hangs than I did off the floor on WED
I think I am going to do two weeks of some rep work to give my joints a break
Plus, this will give me more volume on technique work...

I always count one side for iso row, because it is - isolated after all.

The video clip size is huge, I think it has to fully load (I dont know that MPG2 will stream?). I'm downloading one by hand and its 15 megs, otherwise unviewable and Firefox claimed errors with the plugin (dunno).

http://upload3.putfile.com/videos/30108050889.mpg

There is one, if you view the source.

Edit: I can't play the clip either

and I'm as updated as I'm going to get.

**Mudge** · 10-30-2005, 08:39 PM

No, its the source file within one of your links. Thats if someone wanted to save a hard copy which I did, but it still wouldn't play on my box

Instead of waiting for the clip to cache, I figured I'd view the source and take the file itself. Then I could view it with no jitters etc, but like I said it wouldnt play for me at all.
