Snatching Again

Didn’t make it to a class this morning. Too much to get done before heading to Cincinnati tomorrow to watch the Central East Beast Regional all weekend. Lifted in the garage around 5.

Warm-up

  • CS Activation
  • 3:00 Bottom Squat Hold
  • 45# Snatch Positions

Hang Power Snatches

  • 2×65#
  • 2×95#
  • 2×105#
  • 2×115#
  • 2×125#
  • 2×135#
  • 2×145#
  • 2×155#
  • 1-F x165#

I’ll take it! Needs lots of work though. No shoulders issues, which is the important thing.

Back Squats

  • 10×45#
  • 5×135#
  • 5×205#
  • 5×235#
  • 4x9x260#

Starting the 2nd “week” of Smolov programming, with a 20# over the first week on every session. It was only a 15# jump today since I used 5# extra in the first week for day 1. This was a fight every set and I worked up quite a sweat. Each set took nearly a full minute and I took 3.5-4 minutes rest between sets.

Did a 5:00 squat hold and then a set of 20 DB Pullovers with 40#.

5 Rounds

  • 7×155# Pendlay Rows
  • 10 Decline DB Flyes (20-20-20-25-25# DBs)

I was taking about 45 seconds of rest between sets. Did another 2:00 squat hold.

5 Rounds

  • 10 Decline DB Bench Press (25-30-35-40-50# DBs)
  • 10 Band Pulldowns (like a pull-up, using a green band for each arm)

Didn’t really rest other than to change the adjustable DBs for the next weight. Finished out my 30 minutes of squat holds for the day with 3 minutes. I had already done 17 minutes earlier throughout the day.
