Insert Stupid Snatch Joke Here - Jill's Road To Olympic Glory
Okay, so in honor of our new super cool and badass forum, I'm starting a new log. Yeah, I was gonna call it something like "Come Check Out My Snatch" or "Hey, Wanna See My Snatch?" ... but there are some really stupid log titles around here lately and I didn't want to be just another strange log name.
So basically I'm olympic lifting. I'm not competing, but I am planning on it this year at some point (in the old folks category). I travel a lot for work so my training is a bit inconsistant. Oh, I also just found a local group on lifters so I'll be training with them on Saturdays - with a real coach and everything. 
Okay...so let the games begin. |

I don't know. I'm trying recover from my injury first. I'm trying to improve my technique second. I will then set some goals around what kind of weight I want to move. I guess in the short term I would like to hit 55kg on the C&J. I've done 50 before so that should be do-able if I get my technique in order. As for the snatch, I'm thinking 40-45kg. My best right now is 37.5kg.
As soon as I get myself back to 100% (which I'm close to) I'll lay out some more specific goals. Oh, I'm also in the process of losing some fat in preparation for the summer so I'm not expectiing to see any big gains in strength right now. I'm happy to be maintaining as I lose. |
