Nice PR! I can totally see how your technique is improving after just a few weeks with the oly group. Very nice ...

Youre ending up similar to Alco in that vid:

http://forums.jpfitness.com/519845-post1340.html

You are starting with your hips way too low and thats causing you to pull the bar with your arms and shift forward on the toe before you reach extension (check out your heels in the pic below, they should be flat):



And this is what happens when you actually do extend (notice that your knees and hips are bent even though youre extended from the toes and shrugging. Compare it to my pic in the link above where my legs are straight and in line with my hips):



The last thing is to stay on the floor. Dont think about jumping so much as just standing up and shrugging. The toes will take care of themselves:



So raise your hips higher in your start position so that you can stay over the bar longer and keep it closer longer. That way you wont have to shift your weight forward and then do all of the above.

Watch this, I start low like you do but I do it to get a stretch and pull my shoulders back. Look at how I raise my hips into positon to stay over it. You need to raise them up to a similar height.

Decent workout today. Worked on Clean and Jerks.

Warmup: cat/camel, birddogs, glute bridge, scap pushups, wall slides, leg swings, hip corrections, squat to stand, extra shoulder warmups, calf warmup

Clean + 5 Jerks 2x20kg, 2x25kg

Clean + 3 Jerks 2x30kg

Clean & Jerk 5x1x35kg, 1x1x37.5kg, 5x1x40kg, 3x1x45kg,

GHRs 3x10xBW+10# Plate

Single Leg Full ROM Calf Raise 3x10xBW+10# (getting that calf strong again)

That's it. Felt really good today...probably since I'm on a diet break this week.

Yep, got it. I think my problem is that I'm overcompensating while trying to fix my previous problem of rising up butt first. I think it will take me a bit to get it just right.

That's a purdy snatch you got there Manny.

Thanks for the Magnesium Tip in Diane's Journal. Bob has a really hard time getting to sleep and maybe that will be something to help (he can't turn his brain off at night)

The brain thing is my issue, too. The mag supplement I take does absolutely nothing for me, though. Maybe if I take 'em with a shot or two of whiskey.... *hic*

Okay workout today. I expected it to be better, but it didn't live up to expectations. Jerks just weren't working for me today. Cleans were good though.

Warmup: the usual plus extra shoulder stuff

C+3 Jerks 2x20kg, 2x25kg, 2x30kg

Clean & Jerk 2x1x35kg, 10x1x40kg

Jerk Behind Head 3x5x70#

Chins 3x5xBW

Deficit DL 2x8x65kg

Dips 2x8xBW

Planks 2x90 seconds

Done. Everything felt pretty good except jerks. I wasn't getting a deep enough split with the heavier weight. Not sure what's going on, but I'm meeting w/the other lifters on Saturday so I can get some pointers. DLs off the box were tough work but my hands are feeling MUCH better.

It's a beautiful day today so all is good.

I think I asked you this before Jill, what are you using videocam are you using to record your lifts?

Hey Tom. It's a Panasonic 3CCD vid camera. It's a few years old, but works pretty well.

Cool - I'd've commented on your lifts, but I don't know much about Olympic lifting. But your most recent videos show your going a lot smoother.

Had an overall crappy workout today. Stopped in the middle and just walked away. Did some snatches and snatch balances. Back squats (one set). That's it. It happens.

hmmmm I am not going to tell him that tho. I'd rather he try it and see. Of course if I can get him swinging some weight that might help too, but he was walking pretty funny for a week the last time we lifted together.....

Grrrrrrr...damn smilies.

I'm happy though, it's supposed to be 79 today! Spring is finally here. If it stays nice like this I'll get the courage to take the top off the truck (once it's off, it's a PIA to get back on).

Great workout today. The coach is out of town so I got together with two other lifters that live near me and have TWO platforms in their garage (jealous).

Snatches - lots of technique work at 20 and 25kg...then 5x1x27.5kg, 5x1x35kg

C&J 3x1x35kg, 3x1x37.5kg, 5x1x45kg

Back Squats (ATG) - 2x3x45kg, 2x3x55kg, 2x3x60kg

Snatches felt good today. 35kg is coming up really easily and consistantly. Jerks finally felt like I'm making some progress. Feet are fast, but I'm still struggling getting the right position at the top.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to be in the meet next week because my husband will be out of town and I have my kid with me. The meet is a couple hours away and would likely take all day and I don't think a 3 year old would be up for it. I may drag him there to watch a little bit though. Next meet I will do some better planning.

Some good ideas! I will be adding duct tape and velcro to my shopping list.
