    This is what we like to affectionately refer to as a, "No shitter" in the Corps.

    Lol. Yeah, I would be careful with "shrug".

    Thanks guys for all the support. Today was a pretty good day, way better than last Wednesday. I'm starting to feel more comfortable in the bottom of the full snatch so I went heavier. Also the jerk definitely felt more consistent, still need to bend the back leg but the drive is getting better.

    Snatch
    50x3x2
    70x3
    80x2
    90x1 started snatching on the minute
    95x1x3
    95x1x2 F missed first one in front, missed second behind
    90x1
    100x1
    105x1

    Clean and Jerk
    50x2
    70x2
    90x2
    110x1
    130x1
    140x1
    145x1 tiny press out
    120x1x3

    I took video of the 105 snatch and 140 clean and jerk on an app called coaches eye. I'm having trouble figuring out how to email myself the video so I can post it. If anyone knows how to export videos from the app to email let me know.

    Saturday 1/26

    Just worked on technique stuff with Josh. During snatch I was not dropping and easing my self down into the hole. Instead of softening my landing he made me stomp my feet back into their foot prints. We also worked on sntach balance. Fixing these technical issues had me dropping alot faster. Best snatch that day was 100kg. I've been tossing my jerks slightly forward having to chase them. Josh used the power jerk to teach me how to drive the bar straight up, and this carried over nicely to my split. As soon as he had me split I finally bent my back knee for the first time in my life. The split jerk felt completely different. Did a bunch of sets at 100kg doing 1 power clean, 1 power jerk, and 1 split jerk. Later that night I front squatted 345x3, 355x3, 365x3 PR. I have not done a front squat in over a year and my previous best was 375x1 with extremely tight powerlifting knee wraps. Based on 365 I think I could probably do that weight for 5 now with out them. Polished off training with 3 sets of 8 chins.

    Monday 1/28

    Power Snatch
    50x3x2

    Snatch
    70x2
    80x2
    90x1

    Squat 45x5, 225x5, 315x2, 405x1, 455x1, 495x1x5 These felt way better than last week. Got last rep on video, will post tomorrow.
    Press 45x5, 135x5, 185x2, 205x1, 225x3x3 PR Fuck yeah!
