60 Day Lifting Challenge – Week 7 Day 1

I’m doing the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting. Lifted with Kevin and Alex over at Kevin’s garage at 4:30pm.

Warm-up

  • Crossover Symmetry Activation at home before heading over
  • Band stretches
  • 45# Snatch Position Work

Jerk Footwork

I did the drill somewhere between 5 and 10 times.

Snatch

  • 2×100#
  • 2×120#
  • 2×140#
  • 1×150#
  • 1×160#
  • 4x1x170#

Felt really good today. Not close to missing anything except the last rep where I got a little extra into it and nearly lost it too high and too far back.

Clean & Jerk

  • 2×135#
  • 2×155#
  • 2×180#
  • 1×190#
  • 1×205#
  • 4x1x215#

Best jerk day yet!

Front Squat

  • 2×185#
  • 2×215#
  • 2×250#
  • 2×280#
  • 1×295#
  • 1×310#

Failed to match my PR with 310#. Bottomed the fuck out and had no chance. I think it has become more mental than anything else at this point with my front squats.

Conditioning

8 Rounds (Tabata)

  • 20s Burpees
  • 10s Rest

My goal was to alternate between 8 and 7 each round. Had to make an adjustment in round 7. Ended up going 8-7-8-7-8-7-7-8, with that last rep coming just after time ran out. So close!
