With me being out of town this past weekend and some of the guys being “beat up” *ahem…Saturday was an optional light day, this allowed the guys efficient time to rest up and lift big weights today!
Personally I was a little worried, that I’d be a bit out of it since I was going straight from the airport to the gym but it ended up ok. The guys had a ton of energy for me to feed off of and we had a GRRRREAT day!
Snatch
Today was a bit rougher but the weight was moving easy. Just a few technique tweaks and big PR’s (Personal Records) will be coming!
Alex 85k Snatch
90k Snatch Miss
James 91k Snatch
95k Snatch Miss
Clean and Jerk
After a few misses, we decided to move onto the Clean and Jerk. Guys came out strong, a few technique errors but I like the power and speed they were producing.
Alex 100k Clean and Jerk
105k Clean and Jerk
110k *Clean and Jerk
*The clean was a 3k PR for Alex, he’s starting to meet the bar a little faster, once we fix this issue, his cleans will sky rocket.
James 100k Clean and POWER Jerk
James has been battling a little groin issue, so we decided to switch him into the power jerk. We did toy around with the squat jerk…
115 Clean and Power Jerk
He’s still getting the hang of the power position.
120 Clean and Power Jerk (Miss)
He still needs to learn to drive under the bar fast, but once that happens the Jerks will be on par with his 124+Clean!
Classy
Despite the grunginess of Pure Fitness, their are good people there:
My Thoughts:
Despite it being a holiday weekend and many other distractions in all our lives, I’m very proud that the guys came in and had a STRONG session. After each failed attempt, the guys were correcting their errors and looking better on each lift. I can’t wait until 9/16- BIG PR day!
