Here We Are...

Monday before the comp. I felt a little drained from being out in the heat yesterday at the race track, but it was for a great cause so I'm not gonna sweat any lingering affects from it. Got in early for my first Oly session this week and after we got started on CF Prevail's newest equipment addition...Jerk Boxes!!


OWOD
Snatch - 3 x 1 @ 85% [195#]
bar progressions
95(3)-135(2)-155-155-165-175-185 --- 195 -195 -195
- Feeling a little stiff from the weekend in my back. Wrist was a little tight from the heavy loading Saturday so I was dealing with some weird twinge in my right arm, but otherwise felt good. I had some small walkouts on all 3 working singles, but nothing major. Still felt very good about the lifts in general.

Clean & Jerk - 3 x 1 @ 85 [265#]
225-245 --- 265 - 265 - 265
- Wrists were pretty tight from the beginning. I missed the first lift because my fingers rolled off on the clean and I lost the bar when I tried to pop and re-grip. Second lift was solid. Third lift my fingers rolled off again, but I was able to get them back on barely. I caught my wrist wrong on the jerk and fought it out a bit to stabilize, but let it go before I would call it a good lift.

Back Squat - 4 x 2 @ 85% [390]
315(5)-365(3) --- 390 - 390 - 390 - 390
-Felt strong and fast on these. Good adaptation to weight.


After the OWOD, we started building these beauties....

... it took all day (12+ hours), but they will be well worth it when it comes to building speed under the bar and power overhead!
