Damn I have failed at keeping this blog updated. Well considering I forgot what the other workouts were like they will just have to be lost to the history books. Just know this...that first week was rough. 5 straight days of lifting. I was really beat up the first 3 days but after that I felt really good. I'm missing reps here and there (especially with snatching) but I am making good progress I feel. I am now pretty comfortable catching snatches at the bottom or at least riding them down. Though often times I miss because I'm not solid and tight in the shoulders. More snatch balances and snatch-grip push presses should help. I also didn't do much in terms of snatch deadlifts or pulls. I just don't feel comfortable yet about my back lifting heavy weight with a snatch grip. I have plenty of time and don't want to get injured right off the bat again.
Well here was today's workout. The gym website was down and so I did something from Catalyst's strength development cycle. Turns out it's pretty much the same as hugefication with small differences.
A1: Power Clean + 2 Clean - 70% x 2 sets; 75% x 3 sets
B1: Snatch Balance - 65% x 3 x 2 (1 miss); 70% x 3; 75% x 3 x 2
D1: Push Press - 78% (140#) x 5 x 5
E1: Abmat Situps - 15 x 4
Did abmat situps instead of toes to bar/knees to elbows because they just make my back round too much and I didn't like it. Also didnt do any clean high pulls because I wasnt sure how much weight to use since the website was down. I'll just make it up next week :/
