Congrats on the PR!!! Always nice getting those specially on days you don't think it would happen.
Especially on ohp, i feel like that's one of the exercises you really have to fight through the most for difficult attemptsCongrats on the PR!!! Always nice getting those specially on days you don't think it would happen.
Could always just do a shorter cycle, 13 weeks is a long time.well I set it up based upon my 320 PR recently. I've been frustrated that I can't find a baseline to start my reps at and move forward with anymore so I decided to start a new program I've never used and just go with it. my biggest concern is that its a 13 week cycle.
so good I didn't even bother mentioning it. lolnice squats friend! how'd your competition go?
the first even went really well. I crushed it and PR'd the event. it was:How did the competition go? Did you compete or just a watcher?
Well at least you did hit a PR for one event, that is a positive.the first even went really well. I crushed it and PR'd the event. it was:
8 min amrap progressive ladder
1 x95lb power clean
1 x 95lb thruster
1 x 95lb shoulder to overhead
2 x power clean
2 x 95lb thruster
2 x shoulder to overhead
3 x's etc
I got up into 10s I think for 153 ish total reps. It was solid. after that we had a 4 rep max hang snatch where I just fell apart. My weight was 20lbs under my top practice weight. by the final wod I was ready to just sleep. I really lacked motivation and prep this year. its my fault. I just didn't have my game face.
Hmm, probably the burn. I collapsed afterwards. I've learned a few tricks too. normally I'd wear wrist wraps for these movements but I decided not to on this workout since it was a light weight, because I expected my forearms to get a pump that would limit my ability to work. I also moved to fast singles on the cleans by round 8 because I knew maintaining hook grip at that point would blow out my forearms and grip for the rest of the movements.153 reps? whoa, what was more difficult: keeping your breath under control or fighting through the burn?
yeah but my snatch and overhead squats are often paused anyways by accident just holding my balance. i'm slow out of the hole. lolwell it's a long period of time for your whole body to be under stress of a decent weight. i've been doing pause over head squats lately for only around 5 reps, it's not that big of a deal for my lower body but my shoulders and elbows feel jacked up holding onto heavy weights for that long
i've been improving my bar path lately so if it's a reasonable weight i can come up quick but i often find myself pausing in the bottom of a snatch if the weight's heavy enough that the pull is difficult. oh squats are definitely difficult to come out of the hole fast though, you really gotta straighten up fast after rolling the pelvis forward to get the rebound out of your hamstrings.yeah but my snatch and overhead squats are often paused anyways by accident just holding my balance. i'm slow out of the hole. lol
that exact same thought went through my head as I was deciding if I wanted to go for it or not. but the new pre-workout i tried was giving me some acid reflux and nausea so I didn't think I had a lot of attempts left in me.your deadlifts are looking pretty sweet, too bad about 455 but a 10% increase is a pretty good amount unless the previous single was reasonably easy. if you got it off the ground you can get it soon, might just have to work up to it a little more.
that was rough!40 min WOD, that is crazy. Awesome job!!!
