60 Day Lifting Challenge – Week 8 Day 1

I’m doing the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting. Last big week of programming before testing the lifts next week. Over to Kevin’s to lift with him and Alex at 3:30.

Warm-up

  • Crossover Symmetry Activation
  • 45# Snatch Positions
  • 75# Snatch Positions

Snatch

  • 2×100#
  • 2×120#
  • 2×140#
  • 1×150#
  • 1×160#
  • 1×170#
  • 1×180#

Made everything. BOOM! Two weeks ago at 90%, I didn’t hit 180# on the first attempt any of the 3 days.

Clean & Jerk

  • 2×135#
  • 2×155#
  • 2×180#
  • 1×190#
  • 1×205#
  • 1×215#
  • 1×230#
  • 1×240#

The clean wasn’t pretty with 240# but Alex said I made the jerk look easy. All makes here too.

Back Squat

  • 2×205#
  • 2×240#
  • 2×270#
  • 2×290#
  • 2x2x305#

The 270# double felt really slow, but was ok in the next sets. I forgot to do clean deadlifts after the back squats, but will do them tomorrow since it’s an easier day.

Conditioning

8 Rounds (Tabata)

  • 20s Burpees
  • 10s Rest

Went all out today and got 8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7. That’s one more rep than last week inside the time limits, but with four sets of 8 to start instead of alternating 3 sets of them with 7s. This was so much worse.
