Russian Twist 3x

Pretty good session. Missed the last snatch on the second triple set, but other wise it felt good. Missed a hang clean, not really sure why. Cleans were feeling a bit bleh but it's alright.

Snatch Pulls were good, started keeping my hands on the bar throughout the set, I think it's a good way to train the weak back muscles if I'm lowering the weight with control.

Training - 27th May 2014

Snatch: D1RM: 155, 3x2 @ (145*,145*,145)

Tiring day at work and lots of traffic on the way home, and really humid weather so I was generally not set up for an amazing training session. Did alright, bit less than good but oh well, happens.

Missed second rep of back off sets 1 and 2, dunno just felt a bit lethargic about it. Pulled myself together for the last set, CJs felt good.
Accidently used 190 instead of 200 for the first back off FS set :P

A week of training - 18th May 2014

Hehe, long hiatus but sort of back.

First training log after a long hiatus.

Was doing a strength cycle, which is pretty boring to watch so I decided to not video that :p

Back to a classical focus now. Things are feeling good and consistent.

Training in my garage on my ghetto, improvised platform. Some soft stuff under it compresses a fair bit, which is an annoying loss of energy in lifting. My current hope is that it just makes me stronger!!!

Looking forward to a successful term of training.

I guess calling it a "Weekly training video" is a bit inappropriate, it's more like a weeks worth of training :D

Training - 25th May 2014

Snatch: D1RM: 160, 150*,150*,145*,145*
Back Squat: 2x6 @ (230.235), 3x8 @ (215,220,220), 185x12
BNSP: 75x3x7
BSS x3
Ab Wheel x3

Snatching was going great today up to the 1 rep max. I matched my best, which has been a common occurrance recently, and took two attempts at 165. But unfortunately, I'm really unsused to back off sets, and I don't know, maybe I get cocky or something but I do badly on them. I'm thinking I'll taking more weight off the bar and working upto the back off set weight next time. Hopefully it works better?

I also perform badly after I miss once, it's like I just forget how to lockout

Oh well.

Decent week of training.

Training - 24th May 2014

Power + Hang Snatch: 1+2: (125*,130,130,125)
Clean: 4x3 @ (165,170,170,165)
Snatch Deadlift: 3x3 @ 155, 2x2 @ 165, 170
Russian twist 3x

Missed the last rep of the first snatch set for the same reason as usual - unable to lockout tight at the bottom. That's sort of the intention of training this power + hang snatch complex. Trying to get a bit more speed getting under, but also to get used to recieving tight. The first two end up being progressively lower power snatches and the last is full

Training - 23rd May 2014

Clean and Jerk: D1RM: 205x1+1, 3x1+1 @ (195*, 195*, 185*, 185)
Paused Front Squat: 3x3 @ (195,200,205)
BSS x3, Ab Wheel x3

Strange session. Started off great with matching my previous best with a much more confident and smoother lift than the last time, but then the back off sets I just goofed everything. Not really sure, maybe I was too confident from the 205?

Meant to do Snatch Balances, but they were really irritating my left hip for some reason so decided to leave them out =|

Feels unproductive, but meh!

So it's been almost a month since I updated promising I would update more often.

Well, I suck.

It's been hectic with the start of work, but training has been going really well. Starting to get a nice routine down, so hopefully look forward to more frequent updates to the log!
