Calling all OL'ers......:)

Bombed my first meet at the Attitude nation meet. Damn squat jerk failed me. Really though, I messed up the taper. Did really well in the snatch, though, 3 for 3 and a PR. Also spent the week leading up to the comp staying with Jon North. Crazy fun time, Jared Enderton stopped by for a few days as well. I hope I can go back to Charlotte some time in the future.

squat jerking requires a **** ton of core stability hit the weighted abs hard and work on your ovh bar placement

Yeah I have really good flexibility but my abs definitely need to be worked on a ton, I think that will help.

You girls power clean?

I power dirty.

Any good ab exercises besides reverse crunches that hit the abs hard and don't use a lot of hip flexors?

I dunno about the second part but I love hanging leg raises

ab wheel, twists, planks, GHR sit ups, and then about 10000000000000 different things you can do as well.

weighted ab wheel is brutal

[BongoBanger]

the ab wheel always leaves me completely ****ed.



ftw i saw you post some knee strengthing squats, do you do them often? im thinking of adding them into my routine, nothing heavy but like 75-80% at rpe 8 or so.

I think I have to ditch the narrow snatch grip. It causes way too excessive arm bend because there isn't enough room. My arms are too long. It causes messing up with warm up weight:

Also I wasn't close enough to the bar because on the previous rep I bashed the bar into my dick, which is also (I think) a consequence of the grip being too narrow. Still, I nailed 96 in the same session but it was ugly. Looking at that video, it's a toy off the floor. 100 is on the chopping block for the next week.

i do them whenever i get knee pain as maintenance at this point, before i would do them 2x a week.

i am testing my 1-rm for BS right now and i am running out of room on the bar

wow at rack jerk, they never felt great to me either but mine was at least equal to my best c+j (actually 1 kilo higher, lol)


Either way, you should definitely be c+j 140+ soon then

I haven't actually done a rack jerk in months. Well at least not over like 80 kgs. I know my overhead position has gotten a lot stronger though due to my press abilities going from super crap to less crap. And i have adjusted to my new rack position, So i assume my jerk is better now. I need to work on my footwork.

I plan to C&J 145+ in my meet in late January as an 85. @~81 kgs
