Workout July 30, 2009

Snatch From Knee: (170)80% 3r, (180)85% 2r, (190)90% 1r x 3s, (170)80% 2r x 2s
Notes: Finished all of my reps with easy. I feel like a beast!!!

Clean & Jerk: (210)80% 2r, (225)85% 1r, (240)90% 1
Notes: Couldn't do much because my right shoulder was in excruciating pain. I did numerous reps with 135 to ease the pain at the end..

Back Squat: (285)80% 3r, (305)85% 2r, (320)90% 1r x 3s, 225x6x3
Notes: even though my legs were a bit tired I was able to rep a few at 225 no problems. (endurance is great today other than the shoulder pain)

Press Behind Neck BB: 95x3x10
Notes: I did this light to make sure that I don't aggravate my shoulders much I just wanted blood pumped to my shoulders so it can heal.

Seat Arnold Press: 40x10, 50x8, 45x8, 40x8
Notes: Need more blood flow so I took it lightly

Cable Lateral: 20x4 at 10 lbs
Notes: I did this basically until failure. My shoulders were crazy pumped along with my traps.


Great workout. Other than shoulder pain... I was able to do much of my workout. Cardio I did 20 minutes HITT on stationary bike (very intense). Here are some of my clean jerk today. On the 240lbs rep. I can barely jerk it the first time but I was able to somehow pull off one rep!!





BTW my final review will be better lol.

[baznguy]

FYI: My form was horrific. I took the weight off when my butt is too high. I need to get a bit lower so that I can catch the weight easier. This my contribute to my shoulder problem because I'm too high, I have to use too much upper body strength to support the weight therefore the amount of weight I can lift goes down. I will improve as time go.

240 pounds is serious business man.

This bro. 240 at your bw is very respectable

[donoh]

it's not bad it's usually easy but very hard today.

lol. strong but I'm can only see 2.5 abs. genetics is a b*tch

I've never tried a clean and jerk but dam that looks like fun!

it's addictive. once you get the form down. feels good when you can hit heavy weights.

[Dracoy]

It must be so addictive. I was addicted doing < 135 pounds

Do your wrist hurt or do you have good flexibility?

it used to hurt then I got used to it and developed flexibility. I just started OW 5 months ago. No i wear a wrist band so I can get more support on my wrist. Flexibility is the most important thing in OW.

Workout August 1, 2009

Yesterday was a rest day. I had a great night sleep and hit the gym really hard today.

Snatch (170)80% 3r, (180)85% 2r, (190)90% 1r, (170)80% 3r x 2s
Notes: NO problem here. I was able to finished all my reps without being exhausted. Intrain is kicking ass for endurance

Clean (210)80% 3r, (225)85% 2r, (240)90% 1r
Notes: I found out what was bothering my shoulder. I narrow down my grip and no more pain! A big plus is that I was able to blast through this like it's a warm up. Crazy energy!

Front Squat (245)80% 3r (260)85% 3r, (280)90% 1, 285 x1, 285x1 (fail)
Notes: I failed my last 285 rep but that's OK. I killed my legs from clean and snatch already. It's all good.

Bench Press superset with Lat Pulldown
135x8, 155x8, 175x8, 185x7, lat pull down- 4x12 at 100lbs

DB incline. 50x8, 60x8, 70x6

Abs: Cable crunch 3xfailure


Notes: today was a decent workout. 7/10 for me. So far I can tell that Intrain is getting a slight boost in my workout. My body is heated up form taking it therefore I was able to stay pretty warmed through my rest period. This helps be for some reason concentrate a bit better. Plus stacking with PW, it taste like bubble yum flavor. It's delicious. Such a treat to workout now!!

Nice snatch numbers bro. Have you ever done 1-arm db snatches before? I am supposed to be doing these in my new workout that is coming up and am not 100% sure on the form for em.

yeah I can make a video of that on monday. but you simply take the weight one arm at a time. the weight starts in between your legs and you simply snatch it you. lol can't really explain it. i rarely do that but it's pretty fun.

Do you start from the floor of from like a hang clean position?

[baznguy]

Do you start from the floor of from like a hang clean position?

hanging but don't put the weight on your thighs it's between your legs. because if it's by your thighs you're not using explosiveness it's more shoulder work which is not what you really intend to do when you're snatching.
