  6. Snatch Balance to 155# PB
    Snatch to 130# and failed @ 140# 3X, packed it in. 150 is PR in snatch, so a bit disappointed.

  11. gonna be skipping this one. 4 softball games on saturday in addition to the power/enduracne WOd and a 90 minute soccer game at full intensity has left me wrecked. I feel like the rest day would do me more good than a training day.

  13. Front Squat: 230
    Snatch: 145
    C2B: 7

    240 was my 1RM for my front squat and I almost made it my 3RM, however I was losing control of teh bar on the third set and bailed.

    155 was my 1RM for snatch and this weight seemed to be a little to heavy to manage the 2 reps.

    Burnt and toasted at this point. I was too ficused on breaking my PRs that I had nothing left for the C2Bs.

  14. Front Squat- 315
    90% of PR and a weak effort. Squatting in my garage is a logistical nightmare. The bar fell off my make shift stands twice (fully loaded). I called it after the second time.

    Snatch- 225

    CTBPU- 30 PR

    Total: 570

    This past weekend was a smoker. CF competition was who could lift the most total poundage in 5 min in the DL, you picked the weight. I came in third with 19+ thousand pounds of work. (135lbs 144 reps)
    Winner was 25k pounds of work. (275lbs, 94 reps Yikes!)

  15. I forgot to mention, I learned the catapult technique this weekend from a real Oly weightlifting coach. All my experience prior to this was self taught. Its a much more powerful movement than the traditional triple extension, surprisingly.

    The 225 for two was probably the easiest its been since last December, when I was Oly lifting consistently.
    I'm looking forward to really refining the movement.

  16. 230 + 100 + 12 = 342

    Did 3RM front squats yesterday @ CFRegina and maxed out at 225. Somehow found another 5 pounds today.
    Snatch is a terribly hard movement for me, anything overhead is really. Plus dealing with 9, yes 9, tears on my hands from friday's wod in regina, made it even more difficult.
    Really think I couldve done more CTBs but hands just could not take it.

  24. 37/6'2"/195

    Front Squat x3: 130kg (286lbs)
    Snatch x2: 75kg (165lbs)
    Pullups: 45 (chin to bars)
    Total: 496 w/chin to bars

    FS Notes: Last front squat x3 was 100kg (220lbs) back on Aug 22, 2007. Last front squat x1 PR was 127.5kg (280.5lbs). The fact I did it 3 times today is great. ALMOST lost it breaking through the sticking point on rep 3 of the last set.

    Snatch Notes: Single PR is 80kg. Not what it should but I need to work with heavier weight on a regular basis to keep reenforcing to squat more at the heavier weights. I think I could have pulled in 80kg today but my 3rd pull sucked today and discouraged it.

    PU's: Still have that damn strain?!, something, going on in the lat/shoulder blade area on the transition down from where the chest hits the bar. Felt it on pull 2, so I stopped... Transitioned to chin over bar which is ok and hammered out 45 of those babies. I typically do a wide grip on my pullups but the next go around of Chest 2 bars I'm going to try narrowing the grip to see if it gets rid of that odd strain.

  25. FS: 305 (maybe could have done more but back was starting to give way on rep 2 and 3 with 305. pretty happy with this, felt strong back was very solid, only gave a little as fatigue set in)

    Snatch: only managed 185 (I've done 210 for a power snatch before so I was pretty disappointed with this. movement felt unfamiliar again as I haven't much oly lifting for a little over a month.) catapult technique sounds interesting, especially since the triple extension seems to look it effectiveness once fatigue sets in and you've lost that speed.

    C2B PU's: 26 (these felt really good, maybe could have done more, but grip was giving and arms were smoked. rhythm felt great on these.)

    Total: 305+185+26=516

    def need to practice oly on the side, probably start incorporating burgner warm up now.

  27. FS = 140#
    65X10; 65X10; 75X3; 85X3; 95X3; 105X3; 115X3; 125X3; 135X3; 140X3; 145X1
    S = 74.5# - the movement sucked - became a wide-gripped push press
    Used 22# bar [narrower grip] and added wt. Burgener Warm-up: 22's; 42's; 52's; 62's. Technique seriously departs once I get out of the 60's - grrr!
    C2B = 14 consecutive singles
