Good Things Come In Small Packages

Haha I can't imagine what id look like doing that

Hopefully you wouldn't fall on your arse when the weight pulls you down like I do!

[Big_Sky_Guy]

Scratch! I'm assuming that you can't put a foot over the line...

Yeah, fuked that one up by stepping outside the box, but that one was my best throw. It ended up going about 27ft which is middle of the road. I'm hoping if I ever actually compete in one of these things the atmosphere of competition will help me throw just a little harder! I think it will since I'm competitive by nature and usually perform well under pressure.

Notes
-Ugh, feeling weak as all get out... 2 nights of crap sleep :/
-Started my first set of bench way too high. Last weeks started with 60, dunno why I thought starting at 70 would go over well.
-Gonna throw this afternoon too, yay! Did way better last week with my foot work, here's a short video. Don't laugh!

Vids- Weight for distance. Harder than it looks if your a clumsy elf like myself. I fall nearly every time I do these. I'm super uncontrolled, but this is WORLDs better than last week. Also, I look like a heifer.

Are you fuking kidding me?!?!

[BubsNBean]

Are you fuking kidding me?!?!

No, no I am not.

[meimonsta]

Looks like you recovered from bench nonetheless! Nice throw, seriously!

[Big_Sky_Guy]

No, no I am not.

Did he even lift back in the day?

[EPolis13]

Those throws look fun!

[penny0527]

No, no I am not.

Thanks Mei!

I don't remember

Those throws look fun!

Yeah they're fun, a lot like learning Oly lifts for me. Technical, powerful, hard. I fall errytime!

Stop being such a girl! Post up

You act like I save the videos of me falling! I'll take some vids today, if I fall, they're all yours

[MatTheCur]

Will you be practicing caber and sheaf tossing, too?

Serious question is 150% serious. *serious face*

[LadyLore420]

She might be able to give you some pointers.

If she doesn't mistake your tiny self for a student...

Lol at serious question!

Actually, if I compete I sign up to do all the events. You don't get to pick and choose. We have a 2x4 I've been practicing with to mimic caber, and although I haven't flipped it yet, I'm actually pretty decent at it. Haven't tried sheaf because Wyo doesn't trust me with a pitch fork. He's smart

**Ran out of time, had to go to hip hop. Finish rest of workout tomorrow morning with back/bis.

Notes
-Box squats could have been heavier, but I was pressed for time
-Deads felt heavier than they should have
-Snatch: My arms are still bending too early, and the bar is too far in front of me, but it's coming along. 85lbs didn't feel particularly heavy, it's just a matter of if I really get that pop right or not.

Video 85lb snatch

Solid work Bubs

[BubsNBean]

Solid work Bubs

Thanks Wish... starting to hit the wall though. When you have absolutely zero energy to muster :/

[EPolis13]

Best snatch I've seen you do yet, Bubs. It's coming along nicely!

[LadyLore420]

Woah girl, back that up! Niiiice!

[MakeGoBoom]

agreed. best snatch i've seen you pull. ....... niiiice

[MatTheCur]

That was a great snatch! Fantastic work, too. Have to say that I'm stupid impressed by your recovery and getting back into the game.

[NorwichGrad]

Bubz,

Great snatchin’ !

You’ve come a long way, grasshoppah!

Set up:
a) Cock wrists inward a bit more so that fists are facing down floor.
b) Pull the slack before initiation of first pull. There should be no audible click when you lift off. Slacks will throw off your first pull with heavier weights. Develop

1st Pull:
a) Slow it down a bit. You are rushing. Deliberately control the first pull. You anticipate second pull right away.

2nd Pull:
a) Pretty good. It was aggressive for sure.
b) But you have premature arm bend. Keep arms straight and loose (like rope). Trust your hips to accelerate bar. Arm bend does not occur until after full extension. Where the elbows bend, the power ends.

3rd pull:
a) Great work! It was nice and aggressive and confident!

Keep it up!

[resilience5241]

Awesome job on the snatch, bubsy! I would probably die doing 180 on box squats. Legs are thick but they do nottt appreciate any kind of paused rep.

[Boomer29]

Ahhh cool stuff in here. Nice throw, impressed I am! Snatches are looking great!

[MatTheCur]

I wasn't looking to know if you were going to pick and choose, just if you were going to be practicing them I've been to enough Games in my lifetime, hehe

Awesome stuff though, and good on him for not giving you a 'fork just yet :P

[dougefresh93]

nice snatch.

Thanks girl, baybay steps but I'm workin' at it!

Woah girl, back that up! Niiiice!

Thank you

Awww, thanks Mat! If there's one thing I am, it's determined

Could't agree more. The wrists thing, I need to figure this out because I can feel it in them today, a bit sore. Definitely rushing the first pull, I agree there too. Premature arm bend I'm trying to focus on the most, I can feel it, just like I can feel that the weight is too far in front of my body causing me to lean forward too much. When I fail the lift it's because the bar is too far in front of me and I can't get under it. But in this 85lb pull I think I did a decent job of up instead of out.

Awesome job on the snatch, bubsy! I would probably die doing 180 on box squats. Legs are thick but they do nottt appreciate any kind of paused rep.

Thanks! Box squats are getting harder for sure. I wanna be able to do 205, we'll see how it goes

Ahhh cool stuff in here. Nice throw, impressed I am! Snatches are looking great!

Thanks lady!

oohhh, I see. So yeah, practicing caber, but not sheaf yet. I also need a smaller pitch fork. Wyo's is really really long (ha, that's what she said), and it's pretty dangerous for me.

nice snatch.

Thanks Doug!


News!!! I got Oly shoes!!! I'll wear em next time
