Cougars - 10/07/12

Technique Work


Snatch
  • Yes, that's right. I'm finally learning the full snatch.
  • Started off with bar, then 3-4 sets on 30kg with some snatch squats included
  • Ended up only going to 40kg, really exaggerating the shrug and ensuring that my feet are moving from roughly shoulder length apart to much, much wider (need to work on that)
Cleans
  • Oh yeah bitches, full cleans for the win.
  • Started off with bar, moved fairly quickly to higher weights
  • Settled on 70kg for my working sets, really focusing on getting the full stretch of the movement and once I'm in the "hole", bouncing out of it with a powerful front squat whilst keeping core tight.
  •  Did roughly 10 sets on 70kg, each for a triple or 5 reps, I honestly lost count
Jerks
  • Wasn't really feeling these today, and I was pretty fucked from everything else
  • Stayed on 40kg and worked on form, Miles thinks I was going too deep and I'm focusing so much on the split that I'm forgetting to thrust up onto my toes, gotta work on that!
Making progress haters!

  1. He's got you doing a whole lot of sets! That form for both movements should be cemented damn soon, and then after that you'll be piling on the kgs both on the bar and with BW (Mitchell Rawlings, candidate for the 94kg class??). Maybe you could give yourself a nice birthday present at this comp and get a few PRs. Miles really wants you to go 6/6 though I'm guessing
