ReplyDelete1. 6:58 - UM on DLs. Took the last two days off. Was hard getting the motor primed today. Felt stiff and creaky.
2. Did some of this stuff. Really need to work on popping the bar off my hips. Was never a fan of it due to whacking the boys a few times so I always avoid it. But now it's limiting my progress. Need to harden up and get after it.
3. Didn't do. Ran out of time waiting for my training partner on his multiple bathroom breaks. The Eagle has landed. Haha.
I meant to say unbroken on the deadlifts. Damn smartphones. They were designed for folks with opposable thumbs.
DeleteStiff and creaky, huh? Sub-7 sounds pretty damn awesome.
DeleteHaha. Thanks Michael. That first day back is always tough for me. The fewer days off the better I typically do. I'm feeling like I should take a full week off to reboot, recover etc. and then come back. But I can't seem to get myself to do it. This stuff is too much fun.
DeleteKeep crushing it man!

Blah, 105 #
Stopped after high squat clean at 115#. Right knee was too tight and just all out did not take enough time to warm up in the first place. Again, learned my lesson.
3. 9:39 RX
Running felt strong, DL 7-6-5-4 first round, 5-5-5 2nd round, 5-4 last round. Big improvement from only being able to do them in 2's for the open.
Regionals.
ReplyDelete1) worked up to 191. A 4# snatch pr. My snatch has gone up about 25# in the last month. Super excited. Had been stuck at 165# forever. Looking for that 200# mark in the next couple months.
2) done. Went max distance unbroken each round. Averaged around 20'
3) 14.19. Those legalese rope climbs killed me. Also did Sundays work yesterday so wasn't as fresh as I would have liked.
4) 7.11. Broke muscle-ups as 4-4/4-3-1/4-2-2. Pretty happy with this one. My muscleups have come a long way.
Overall great day. Thanks coach.
Great job Drew! What has been the game changer for your snatch?
DeleteI'm with Michael, I'd love to know!
DeleteMobility mainly. I have been struggling with the snatch for a long long time. After Ben posted that article about "iron scap" I started adding in a very similar routine about 2 times a week and doing a little during my warmup trying to work my overhead stability. However about February/march time frame I started doing Kelly Starret's "keg stretch" with a 45# bar and a foam roller religiously every day. Been doing a quick set during the warmup and then a more prolonged session following my workout and then I try to get one more in some time during the day. After a few weeks of complete and total agony as all the muscles in my chest and shoulders felt like they were being ripped apart I have slowly started to win my over head mobility back.
DeleteI also do some overhead distraction and static hangs every other time I workout. Always hitting a jerk grip, snatch grip, and narrow grip hold to ensure I mobilize the entire range of motion.
Other than that guys it's been all due to Ben's programming. I went from being able to hit 165 from time to time, and then every time pretty easily. With all that confidence and practice it was just a matter of time. Now I'm using 170 like its 135 or 125.
That is what has been the key difference for me. Hope it helps.
Thanks Drew! I was hoping it was a nice tasting magic elixir that I could buy at GNC, but I see it was just hard work. Bummed...

ReplyDeleteRegionals
1. hit 205 easily and then jumped to 225 and failed multiple times. Not happy with it but just know i need to work on it.
2. complete. used 195lbs on hpc and fs. Felt good and could have gotten heavier for sure.
3. 3:30 on the row.
Open:
ReplyDeleteDid the lifting first.
1.A. Muscle snatch: 132 lbs. I have never done these. Took me a few reps to get it right.
1.B. Snatch balance: 165 lbs. I have always been horrible at these, but these felt really good. Gave me some confidence moving into 1C.
1C. Snatch: 165 lbs. Maybe a little too much confidence. I hit 165 like it was nothing (PR is 168). Definitely, the best snatch I have ever had. Put 175 on the bar and fell apart. It didn't feel heavy and the pulls were good, but I just couldn't catch it. Bad mobility. Gotta fixed that.
2. Clean complex: 220 lbs. Hit the power clean and hang clean at 232, but couldn't hold onto the bar to get into the low hang position. I think 232 is a PR for a hang clean, though.
3. 7:15 Rx. Deads all unbroken. First run: fast. Second run: meh. Third run: call the paramedics. 0:05 PR.
Michael next time you get a chance video one of your snatches preferably around 90+% and link it I would love to check out your technique seeing as how your legs and shoulders are so strong but your snatch seems to be lacking
