I'm with Greg on this one. It is very interesting to see the learning process as your lifts improve. And I think anyone interested in Olympic lifts could learn a lot from your videos and Manny's advice to you.

Nice job on the squats!

Thank ya, thank ya. I'm trying!

Today:

Hang snatches 45x3,55x3,65x3x2 easy

Hang cleans + 1 jerk 45x3,55x3,65x2x3,75x2,80x2x1 felt like I was using my mothereffing arms so....

Rack pull + shrugs snatch grip then clean grip: 45x3 of each, 65x3-5 of each. I felt the difference but now need to translate that into the real deal. Grrrr.

Jerks behind head 45x3,65x3,75x2,85x2,90x2x1 these are continuing to increase. No problem at all. I am a little more wobbly since I'm trying to get under it more with the back leg bending, but otherwise solid. In fact, I'm jerking so hard that it sort of hurts my shoulder--it's like I could handle another 15-20 lbs with the same force, if that makes sense? I think I'm jerking my arms UP harder and faster than I have to to catch it since the weight isn't that heavy...?

OHS 50x3,60x3,70x3,80x2x3 (+5)
Could have done 85-90 but I was getting a little tired so next week.

Solid workout, 45 minutes total. I'll take it.

I'm no Oly coach but the most common mistake I see with clients is too much arms. Oftentimes if technique is OK I'll up the weight to a load forcing them to pull correctly, but obviously for you Manny's advice is more appropriate.

I believe it was Verkhoshansky that said any bend in the arms equals a possible 20% reduction in power, so how's that for motivation.

Looking good Tina. Impressive all around.

Hey Girly.

When you are Beaumont at the end of the month want to try and get together???

I'm not going to the Summit since we're going to be smack in the middle of a big application rollout for work.

Sure, that sounds great! My stepkid graduates on the 30th, but I think I can con hubby into a lunch date on the 31st? I'm leaving on the 1st in the morning, so.... let me know if that works and we'll exchange the nitty gritty stuff via email.

Today's workout---another one at the local CrossFit facility. Man, I am so glad I didn't even consider the rubber bumpers they use there because they SUCK. However....

Snatch (floor/hang/floor)
worked up to 32.5 kg for triples then
Snatch worked up to 37.5 kg for singles. I was going to go for 40kg but I was getting tired already. Damned dieting.

Clean + 1 jerk worked up to 40 kg. Forearm hurting at the end, but they were pretty smooth overall.

Clean high pulls worked up to 60kg for doubles

Jerks behind head
worked up to 85 lbs for doubles

Front squats
--weak as a kitten today. Only worked up to 120 lbs for triples

OHS worked up to 85 (+5) which was juuust heavy enough to cause me to dump it twice. At least I am learning how to get the hell out of the way fast!

And that was an hour and 40 minutes of my Saturday morning. Now I've had a nap, my aquarium is cleaned, and my extra coffee mugs have been packed in a box. Productive day.

Those OHS are super-impressive to me -- they scare the crap out of me.

Now why are your extra coffee mugs packed? Oh, wait, you're moving soon, right?

Yay, Zach! YW!

Yup, Diane, moving out of the g-h-e-t-t-o soon! THANK GOODNESS. I'm skeered of this place!

Today is a complete deload/rest week for me, so no workouts 'til Saturday beatdown with Jim. I hate inertia!

Not that I know anything about olympic lifting, but it looks like you're doing well.

Do you have a new place picked out yet? With an extra-large garage for your new oly stuff? How long are you in Cali? I can't remember ... and when Cali is over is it back to Texas to be near the hubby?
