Heck yes! Gotta rock on!!
Thanks! jerks are a nemesis of mine!
Thanks!
I try!
-----------------------------
Ok, a little behind as always. Youngest got strep and then I got sick so ended up taking Wed and Thurs a rest days. Fri was an at home session then went to Crossfit big D yesterday to train with the team. There was some political BS that went down so the club moved training locations. I stay out of it, I'm just here to lift.
Fri at home. All done with a 20K bar
Push Press
barx5,10x30,2x10x32
Back Squat
3x30,3x40,10x50,3x10x53
Behind the neck Snatch grip push press
3x10x33
3 rounds drop snatch triple+OHS triple+ 10 KB swing with 2 min rest
Did the first two at 25 with the swings using a 23# DB, it is all I had. The last round was at 28
Saturday
I started to get worried about this workout on Fri when I realized that it included block cleans at higher than my PR. Joel always said you should be able to lift more from blocks than from the floor but I have never gotten close. But I realized i had the strength and the power to do it. i just couldn't let my mind tell me I couldn't!!
Smooth Snatch+ power snatch for 5 then add 3 K and snatch til you miss reps every 90 secs
2x25,30,2x35,2x37,38+ 40,43,45F,45 make, 2 fails at 46 moving on
Snatch Dead Lift EMOM
5@46,5@49,5@52,5@54,5@58
Clean from blocks previous PR was 51
6@42,5@45,4@48,3@51,2@54 PR and easy,57 PR
10@ 51 in 3:13 not too shabby
Jerk drill. Rear foot up against a wall, dip and drop. Did this at bar,25 and 30. Goal is to no move your chest forward and just drop
Not to bad. I am tired and sore. Glad I got on antibiotics early. Did not have time to be sick I tell you.Spoon Barbell Club

Ugh.. Sorry about the strep.
Congrats on the PR! The red plates are gonna get bitchslapped soon!
Jerks are one of those "it's so simple, yet complicated enough that it trips up 50% of weightlifters" lifts..
BTW, that jerk drill you shared with Melissa in her journal, those are great! I've been having my lifters with jerk issues do them..This above all..

Luckily we got her to the doc early.
Yes, I would love to CJ those reds. The 60 jerk is the next mini goal. Then BW, then reds unless i end up weighing 65K1 LOL!
Glad the jerk drill helped. I am so grateful to be able to go train with a group, or I wouldn't get things like that. There were 18 of us yesterday training. It was so cool. You get to see and talk to so many people. Knowledge bank like you can't imagine!Spoon Barbell Club

Drama stinks! I try to avoid it at all costs by avoiding everything, lol!!!
Awesome that yoga was able to help you improve your snatches!!! Yoga is so cool, I do a bunch of yoga stretches but I'd love to really get into it.
Glad you got some medicine early and didn't have to take much time out of your life being sick!!!Team Cookies Give You Superpowers

Yes sir it has been 3 years. And you are right, I am nuts! Do you remember this?
The best snatch in that is a 38 and I am struggling to hold it over head. I went back and looked and my first max out total was 60/80 in # or 27/38/65! 65!!!! Best now is 107. Anyway. it is crazy how little by little we get stronger and better and so many people quit because it isn't over night.
And on the BW CJ, I have come with in 5K of one. It is on my mission list this year! Oh and BTW tomorrow is FXTX, the only goal I have is 60 CJ. I'll let you know!
yes it is for sure!Spoon Barbell Club

Oh! Yes! Hahahahaha.
I will always, always remember the ones where your starting position was 10 feet wide and your final position was feet together. That is unforgettable.
That was the first time I bertstared a computer screen while giving myself a double face palm. Lmao.
You have come a long way! So proud of you!This above all..

Lol! Yes! That is me now! Total slack jaw face palm wtf am I doing!!! Oh man. And the arm pulling! Or the power cleans with gloves in the beginning? You should see my palms now. Callus picking is a pass time. Anyway.
You just have to keep trying. . Eventually you have to get better! I doubt I could have gotten much worse! Lol!!Spoon Barbell Club

GEEK!! So good to see you and see you are lifting again! I'll stop in and sub!
Okay meet number 12 is in the books. I achieved both of my goals. I totaled and hit 60 on my CJ finally. So my PR's are now 50/60/110! BOOM! Goal for Lock and Load is 52/63/115. But we shall see. Back to the gym today.
The meet went really well. I wanted to go higher on snatch but I declared 43 and wanted to up it but we ran out of time. So I went 43/46/48. I have never made it from 43 to 46 successfully with nothing in between so that was cool. On CJ I opened at 57, highest yet. Nailed it. Cleaned 60 and pressed out the jerk. They gave me a bunch of **** cause they we like smile and don't shake your head. They would have given it to you. But I didn't want a hand out. I wanted that jerk nailed. So I did it a second time and no press out. BOOM!!! I am a happy momma! Here is the vid.
And my Monday thought

Thank you!! Not bad for an almost 40 yr old!
I am feeling tired and tight. But ready to get back to the grind. I am on a mission now! LOL!
Let's say I'm close. Weight for this meet was 64.5, so less than 10#. Goal is to be at sub 63 for Lock and Load. I want to earn that BW CJ fair and square.Spoon Barbell Club

Congrats on the meet! Yay for PRs By the way, your "zip your ribs and drive with your hips," cue with the jerks has helped me big time. No more leaning forward on the dip and having to over compensate by pushing the bar backwards on the drive.
