Well, after having JP move my old log here... guess it's really time to start a new one in honor of this forum. So, without further ado....
My new OL obsession is all Jill's fault! I love everything about it (thanks girl!). OK, except for the cost of the equipment. That pretty much sucks. Jim (my coach) strong-armed me into competing in the PWA championship a couple of weeks ago--I managed to get white lights on 3/6 lifts and totaled a whopping 82 kg (38 kg snatch/44 kg C&J), landing 2nd in my weight class--out of two.
Anywhoooo....
My goals--short term (next 4 months or so): 45 kg snatch (already have done 42, so should be fairly easily do-able), 55 kg C&J (have had a nagging wrist/hand injury that's limited me here. I think I'm capable of 50 kg right now). After that, the sky's the limit. I'm old, but I'm strong, so maybe I'll actually qualify for something more lofty in the next couple of years. I've only been doing this just short of 3 months now, so I've got all sorts of n00b gains to nab, right?
Training: 3 days/week. Whatever Jim tells me to do that week. Unfortunately, I only have access to "real" equipment on Saturday; weekdays I'm forced to use the ghetto 24 hr fitness. Blecch. I'll be outfitting my garage with the full enchilada when I move this summer.
Today's w/o--lots of form work going on right now. It's needed.
Snatch-->hang squat snatch-->Snatch 3x3x45,3x50,3x3x55
Power clean + 2 jerks 3x55,3x60,2x65,2x70,2x75,3x2x8 0
Snatch high pull 3x55,3x3x65
Jerk behind head 3x45,3x50,3x55,2x60,2x65,3x2x7 0
Front squat 5x65,4x85,3x95,3x2x105
75 minutes and a few lightheaded episodes later, done. Dieting and training this hard are a precarious combination, for sure.
