Fucking exams keeping me busy.
10/18/17
Found a cool gym that has some Weightlifting stuff I like/has a barbell club, considering joining the barbell club. Had a few days off from training so just worked on form
snatches
183X2 for 5 sets
clean and no feet power jerks
fuck if I know, all sets between like 205 and 235
ring pull ups and controlled descent feet to bars
bwX15, 5
bwX4, 2
Was really spent/needed to eat so I couldn’t do much accessory work.
10/19/17
Back was a little iffy, slept on my stomach like a tard/was a little sore from lifting the day before so I decided to go from the rack instead of doing clean and jerks
rack power jerks
95X3
135X5
185X2
225X1
245X1
265X1 press out, but I’ll count it
275X1 butter, pretty sure this is technically a power jerk PR
285X0, I was a retard and tried a narrower than normal stance to see how it feels. The answer is: no, I am good at jerking with a slightly wider than shoulder width stance. Probably could’ve got this if I didn’t dick with my form.
no feet power jerks
205X2
205X2
205X2
snatches
95X3
135X2
165X2
185X1
205X0
205X1 ayy, ‘PR’ snatch for doing snatches after heavy singles in cleans/jerks/clean and jerks.
front squats
135X3
185X3
225X3
275X2
315X1
365X0, I… yeah. I made a stupid jump, and probably would’ve got this if I made a reasonable jump. Regardless my front squat isn’t the healthiest it’s been, so I’ll probably start pushing my (front) squats consistently again.
bamboo bar overhead carries
35lbs dumbbell on double light bands per sideX1 trip, 4 sets
KB hammer curl
35X6
35X5
35X4
weighted dips
55X20
55X5
55X5
Really liking the no feet power jerks, forces me to really focus on weight distribution/keeping the hips in the correct position during the whole lift/squatting under the bar. Noticed Apti does them a lot (in fact I think they’re his main style).
