Training - 3rd & 6th Feb. 2014

3rd February 2014:

Back Squats: 255x5x3
Snatch Pulls off Blocks: Did ~135x3x3 w/ rebend, worked up to 175 for a single w/ shrug then did Paused pulls (pausing at knee, above knee, hitting extension, pausing again at same locations on the way down.)
Ab Wheel 3x

6th February 2014:

Snatch Balance: Worked up to 135x3x2
Front Squat: 210x5x3
Clean-3-position-pull off blocks: 135lbs - experimented with doing clean pulls, pausing below, above knee for different periods of time. Thinking I'll program these for 5x3 with around 3secs pause.
Ab Wheel 3x

Probably the last day of training for a while simply because of midterms. I have 6 exams in 5 days, so meh.

Anyway, one recent realization in training methodology has been to improve strength in the position directly before the second pull. Or, I suppose to increase strength such that I am able to stay over the bar for the longest period of time possible without resorting to things like arm bend (which I do regularly :( )
Hence the experiments with paused pulls!

woohoo.

Exams :(
