Oly Work

Grindin'! Got up early to get my Oly work in before everyone else showed up. Love my alone time in the gym. Less talk, more work. Reminds me of the old days in Pat's garage with Greg. Feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work. I only got a few more weeks before competition so I really got to get it in gear.

OWOD

15:00 to establish 1RM
bar progressions
95(3)-135(2)-155-175-195-205-215-225-235-235
- I enjoyed working with the time cap. Made me work on a couple of things: staying focused, dealing with bigger jumps, shorter rest periods, and NOT chasing weight. I didn't have a single miss until 235#. I stuck the 225# cleaner than ever...even held it at the bottom for a three count because it felt so good. I went for 235# as time ran out. First miss was terrible...swung it way out in front, but had plenty of pull though. Time ran out, so I told myself I would only take one more shot at it. Big pull, had it overhead, but just couldn't hold on....very very close!! Time to move one...purpose of the time cap!

Snatch Balance - 4 x 2 (heaviest possible, rest 60-90 seconds)
205-225-230-240
- I actually lost my first rep at 205. Regrouped and everything got a lot easier. 240 was a probably more of fast descending OHS, but being able to control the weight and stabilize once hitting bottom is a big confidence builder.

Snatch Pulls - 4 x 2 (heaviest possible, rest 60-90 seconds)
240-245-250-255
- Solid pulls. Good overload. Positioning and speed felt good through out.
