Thanks Tina! I've been following your log too. So jealous of your set up. I have a carpenter husband and he's built platforms, but not for me.

I'm lucky that my gym is accessible though and that my coach is almost always around.

----

September 11, Week 2, Day 3 @ 49.8 kg

power cleans:
32.5x5
40x5
45x5
47.5x2x3

I hate sets of 5. HATE them. These were ok...the lighter ones were great, I was getting my hips all the way through, which is something I really struggle with. As the weights got heavier though, I stopped pushing all the way through and really struggled with timing.

clean pulls:
47.5x5
55x5
57.5x3x2

These felt way better than the last time I did them. Definitely still heavy off the floor but I'm not pulling back on as many reps as I was.

overhead squat:
25x3
30x3
35x3
37.5x2
40x1 PR

All were supposed to be sets of 3. The 35 was the best set. They felt really solid and I was getting full rom and lots of push out of the hole. On the first rep of the 37.5 I let the bar come forward so I almost lost it, recovered for the second rep and then dumped the third one on the way up. The 40 I could have done two reps, or at least gone down for the second one, but my wrists were done. I hate that my wrists are the limiting factor for these. It'd be great to really be able to work on them, because that's where I struggle with my snatch (once I've caught it that is).

Anyway, this wasn't a testing max week, but we inflated my 100% for both snatch (from 40 to 45) and c&j (from 52 to 60) so that I can get used to heaviness. I tend to freak out and lose the technique that I have when stuff feels heavy.
