Training 3.28.14


  • Snatch
    • 2.1 @ 80% (64)
      • Missed final set. Just plain threw it clear over my head.
    • 2.1 @ 85% (68)
      • First set felt like BUTTAH!!  Both reps.  Missed final set. Same problem as above.  Too excited.  :)
    • 1 @ 90% (72)
    • 1 @ 75kg
    • 1 @ 78kg (previous PR)
    • 0.1 @ 81kg (PR!!!)
      • Missed first attempt.  Pull felt great.  Here's a video of the made second attempt.
    • 0.0.0 (85kg)
      • Missed the first and final attempt behind me.  Second attempt was out in front.  This does not feel heavy.  I am just not staying tight when I receive the bar.  I'm chalking this up to not being able to do much overhead work as of late due to the injury. But honestly, I feel confident that I could pull and get under 90 right now.  Just got work on staying tight.  Here's a video of one of the misses.

    • 2 @ 65kg
      • Istvan had me try two at this lower weight to "correct" my issue of not being tight.  Well...I didn't correct it and I missed the first rep, so we called it a day and moved on to clean and jerks.
  • C & J
    • 1+1; 1+1 @ 80% (75)
    • 1+1 @ 85% (80)
    • 1+1 @ 90% (85)
      • Immediately after this rep, I had to attend to motherly duties and change a very soaking wet diaper and toddler.  Included a full wardrobe change plus cleaning up the mess that was left on the furniture.  :(  Needless to say, I had too long of a break between this set and my next set.  Plus, being mortified about the mess made and attempting to clean it all up.  Ahhh...I should've tried to find some help with childcare today.  9 times out of 10, the boys are really great.  But..I can never just completely focus on what I'm there to do (train) when I have them with me.  Just two and a half more weeks and then tax season will be over!!!  And hopefully, I'll have a little more help with the kids.  
    • 1+1 @ 95% (90)
      • Missed first clean attempt...fell on butt...just too much rest in between this attempt and the previous one.  Nailed the second attempt easily.
    • 1+1 @ 100% (95)
      • This was just TOO easy!  And felt so great!
    • 2 failed attempts at 100kg
      • Missed the clean both times.  Pull was super easy.  Almost made it out of the hole on the first attempt, but my footwork wasn't too great and so it made coming out a little more challenging due to inability to maintain proper positions.  The second attempt, I was just too slow with my elbows.  Racked it, but caught it way too low to do anything with it.  Definitely have this next time!!!  
  • Back Squat
    • 2.3 @ 90% (113)
    • 1.2 @ 95% (120)  
I have so many mixed emotions about today!  Totally frustrated because I wanted to hit 85/100 so bad today!!  Haven't attempted PR's in so long, so I expected to have some.  But...even without hitting them, I at least know that I am definitely strong enough to hit them...just need some more focus on technique.  Also, I know that having my kids with me today definitely limited my potential.  I love those boys, but man...well...they can be distracting!  :)  Also, I started my monthly problem today, too, and I'm sure that has more effects than I even know!
