60 Day Lifting Challenge – Week 7 Day 2

I’m doing the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting. Since it’s a light week and it looks like next week might be MAX test week, I’m making a lot of adjustments to the program this week to prepare for some solid rest heading into Monday. Lifted by myself around 10:45.

Warm-up

  • Crossover Symmetry Activation
  • 3 rounds
    • 10s L-sit on parallettes
    • 4 Turkish Get-ups (alternating, 53# KB)

Not sure I’ve ever done TGU that heavy and surely not for that many reps.

Snatch from Below Knee

  • 2×100#
  • 2×120#
  • 2×140#
  • 1×150#
  • 5x1x160#

Went 2/5 with 160#. Ugh! It was too far forward or I wasn’t dropping under enough for the force I was putting on the bar. They were all plenty high enough, that’s for sure. I definitely rush more and concentrate less when I snatch alone. Need to fix that. I focused on the last rep and it was solid.

Clean from Below Knee

  • 2×135#
  • 2×155#
  • 2×180#
  • 1×190#
  • 5x1x205#

Cleans felt good. I never really am in risk of missing, but for a few attempts in the program where I tried something new and was thinking too much. Goes to show much more I should be able to clean I hope.

Clean Deadlift

  • 2x2x230#

Kind of odd to only do 2 sets of 2. Must be a reason for it though.

Conditioning

10 Rounds

  • 30s Air Dyne (~80%, AD2)
  • 30s Rest

I kept the RPM around 90. Went a full 1:00 on the last round and finished with 256 calories.

Did the Crossover Symmetry Iron Scap to end the session.
