6 July 2012

Friday: Snatch max attempts. Front Squat or DL, Auxiliary exercises (GHR, RDLs, sleds).

4-frame of 77,5 kg PR snatch.


20 mins to establish 1RM snatch.
40, 40, 50, 50, 60, 60, 70, 70, 77,5 (PR by 2,5 kg), 80(F), 80(F), 80(F), 80(F), 80(F). 
Felt good, I was very confident that the 77,5 would be a breeze, and it was. I had actually also expected to get 80 up, but as the video shows that just didn't happen. Lousy footwork, slow under the bar, and I still get on my toes a bit too early. Well, still making good progress, and I am ahead of my linear progression towards my goal of snatching 90 by Oct 1st.



EMOM 15 mins
Box full clean + box full clean + jerk @ 80 kg.
I... LOVE... EMOM!

5x5 deadlift @ 150 kg.
Got a bit spicy towards the end, think I lost the lower back a little bit on rep 4 and 5 in the two last sets, but I made it through OK.

Was actually done at this point, about to go home, but the my favourite you-go-I-go WOD buddy Mikkel Brandt showed up and we decided on a closer:

4 rounds, you-go-I-go of:
5 TG full cleans @ 70 kg
2 x 15m prowler loaded w 80 kg
10 ring dips

Lap times: 1:12, 1:19, 1:30, 1:43.


Great day: a PR and a massive attack on the posterior chain. That prowler was E V I L. And wonderful at the same time.

Easy day today, felt awesome to be doing muscle ups again, I am very confident that my goal of 10 unbroken by end of september will be reached. Looking forward to max oly's tomorrow, I think there's a snatch PR waiting for me :)

Monday: Snatch variations, squat volume, press volume.

Back squat 5x5 @ 117,5 kg.
Did 2x5 low bar at working weight but decided to change to 100 kg high bar because my lower back was hammered from yesterday's CF Total. Focused on form and position in the bottom of the squat.

OH press 5xME @ 50 kg.
12, 12, 10, 8, 8. Focused on getting the shoulders back and improving my starting position. Felt yesterdays presses so I stuck to form before intensity.

No snatches due to lower back fatigue. Had planned to do 10 mins EMOM: 3 hang snatch @ 50 kg. Also skipped a 10 mins EMOM: 3 strict HSPU, 5 toes-to-bar.

Easy day, probebly should have taken a full rest day, but I had to go squat, just could not be without it today :)
