[DK_82]

Currently in Charlotte NC. Swinging by muscle driver tomorrow and then lifting tomorrow and and two a day tuesday with Jon north. Gonna try and sit and lists to wl talk live on Tuesday too.

So jealous man. Maybe sometime we should coordinate an OL'ers thread meetup down there and all lift some heavy ass weights together.

dafuq... ok i'll stop hating. i might even try them.


clean, clean and jerk, AND snatch PR's yesterday on day 6 of week 6 of training 6 days a week. something to be said for frequency.

Nah, I wish. I actually didn't go to that meet this time.

How was the meet?

it was well run for the most part. not as big a turnout as last year.

got myself first place and increased my total so i guess i cant complain much

edit:

hang cleaned 130 after about 3 hours of lifting.

figured out that my knuckles had to be facing straight down on the pull.... what a difference.

this seems like a good mental cue.

just by doing it in the mirror i can see my arms get longer and looser, but wrist staying tight . seems less likely to arm pull on heavy weights. my coach always says long arms.

edit: my elbows also go out when i point my knuckles down. this may be why it helps

[feces99]

a snatch like that you should be cjing 150

jelly level: smuckers

Meant to say *hard NOT to pr*

Weak legs standing up . I get pinned. The rack is not the problem.

Fuk good idea. Sometimes I excessively arm bend on cleans

182x8 back squat this morning. I need to slow down because I'm really starting to embarrass myself with my total.

i snatch 212 today fairly easily, missed 220x4 behind me. Easy to get it there i just did not finish it properly. First time full snatching in over a month, so i am happy

today was a day of weird saves. Today told me that i have the brute strength , i justt need to catch the technique up and i will be 10kg high in every lift than before my break. Excited.

Goes to show how much squatting gets you strong without doing the classics

[JiP]

First O lifts back after quad tear, felt good so tried to hit a PR, missed 87.5 twice then got ballsy and failed at 88.5.. technique looked pretty good tho. Old PR was 85

mine does too slightly lol, doesn't really cause any problems with squats though just sweep away the water. But it does seem dangerous to do the lifts while the ground is wet..

[feces99]

cleaned 140 today

finally breaking into more manly weights

mirin the verve singing in the start

[Keefinator02]

Just hit a PR clean today, 102 kg.

I am very very pumped about this, I hit a 10 kg snatch PR earlier in the week and missed a 5 kg PR in the snatch today, but I am not mad.

Here is a link to my video, I felt really good about this clean, I know it isn't very heavy but you have to start some where.

Let me know what you guys think.

The second clip is me practicing split jerking. This was my first day splitting, the clip is from a week ago. I have hit 175 lbs since, which felt a lot faster and stronger. I have only been working on squat jerks, but very rarely.

I know I got work to do, but I am exited about the future and my progress.

I plan on competing as soon as I find something around my area.

Also I will never be setting the weight down like that again, as it was my first and last.

Let me know what you guys think, critique all you want.
