Power Snatches
- Gave these a good go, doing roughly 8 reps on 30kg for maybe 6 or 7 sets
- I need to work on really stretching and making sure my arms don't bend before the shrug has completed, but they felt good
Power Cleans
- Many, many sets starting off on the bar, moving up to 30kg and then up to 40kg (from the floor) and did reps of 6-8 per set
- I need to focus on keeping the bar close, which helps me finish the shrug and stretch up, but they are feeling really really good, especially considering my cleans were awful like 3 weeks ago...
Jerks
- Most proud I've been of my jerks since I've started, worked up to only 40kg but really nailed the form well this time
- Miles actually said "Mitch you're making me look good, my work is done I think I should go home, those jerks are fantastic"
- :)))
Snatch Pulls
- Only strength exercise I managed to fit in because I started late
- Worked up to 5 x 80kg for 4 sets
I'm glad you're going to keep up with the blog, it will be a great lesson in how to ease into the O lifts for the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteAs I said to you yesterday, a soft jerk is a lifter's worst nightmare, so it's great that Miles is pleased with your accomplishments so far. I wonder how long it will be before you're snatch a plate with perfect form?
