1-11-13


A.
Five sets of:
Front Squat x 2 reps
Build over the course of the five sets from 80% to as heavy as you feel possible with good mechanics today.
Rest 3 minutes

Results: 195, 210, 225, 235, 235
Notes: I struggled with the 235 today. I was surprised because I thought my max was 250.
B.
Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
High Hang Snatch x 1 rep
Loading by Minute – 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, ?, ?
Adjust loading as needed based on feel. Smaller jumps are fine.

Results: 60% = 80, 65% = 85, 70% = 90, 75% = 95, 80% = 105, 85% = 110, 90% = 115, 95% = 120, 95% = 120, 95%=120
Notes: Failed twice getting the 120. Really focused on trying to combine the hips, with the shoulder shrug while still keeping vertical. It felt awkward but I did feel improvements towards the end. Can still be more explosive with the legs and time the hips with the shoulders better.
C.
Five sets of:
5 Squat Cleans (185/135 lbs)
10 Handstand Push-Ups
15 Pull-Ups
10 Thrusters (95lbs)
Rest 3 minutes

Results: I only did three rounds. Each round was 5+min. Not good. Had confidence issues with squat cleans. I was frustrated that couldn't do them quickly because I was working on the form. In the form I was working on being more explosive with the hip drive/legs and timing that with the shoulders better. In the last round I felt for brief moment a little more explosive with the legs. The handstands are weak. The first round I did 9, 1. Then the second round it was 3, 3, 3, 1. Third round it was 5, 2,1,2. Pull ups were excellent. I did 15 all three rounds without stopping. In the thrusters I moved my hands in the bar and that allowed more hip drive and put less stress on my shoulders lifting the weight over my head.
