it may be good to post my lifts sofar

hang snatch
Started with 25x2 on Oct 13
Best effort sofar 27,5x3 in the last 2 workouts.


hang clean
Started with 35x2 on Oct 13
Best effort sofar a true clean (from the floor) with 42,5x1
This past week though I've not come further than 40x1 since my shoulder is bothering me a lot.

The 3rd exercise we do is up till now always a back squat, which is mostly a speed squat and hence isn't really much about weights nor a max effort either.. have worked up to 52,5kgx5 .

For comparison, I've been to a mini-PL-meet of a forum I'm a member of and got to do a back squat of 70x3 and a set of box squats: 50x11.
My best front squat is 70x1 and 65x3

One thing I know for sure.. I'm quite happy to be using female Oly bars. My hands are quite small and it makes a hyoooooge difference to use a slimmer barbell that's meant for smaller hands.
On that very same mini-meet I have also finally learnt how to use straps and got to a tie with my best DL sofar: 110x1 while lifting a 'men's bar' (20kg, regular thickness). Without them they would have just slipped out of my fingers.
