REGIONALS PREPARATION PROGRAM Session One A. 5@145, 15@150, working on catching just below parallel so I am not stressing out my R knee B. 165 C.“Amanda” 5:05, should have been under 5 but I pushed my last set of two MUs and failed one… took me about 30 seconds to recover. MUs, 9, 4/3, 3/1F/1. Snatches 6/3, 7, 5 A. Yuck! Done, more of a mental challenge to hold it together. All C2B were 7-9 butterfly while kipping the last one. All cleans UB without stopping at the quads on the way down. Barbell cycling felt good. B. Back Squat-… Read more »

Off Season Session 1: A. Cleans and Squats felt on today, but the jerk was not nice. 205/215/225 II. 235/245/265/275/280 III. 325/325/330 B. Heaviest rep was 380 today. Back Squats felt much better today than they have recently. C. 300 for all three sets D. Good Mornings @135# x 8 each set Banded March with 30# Medball. These suck. Dimmels x 20 @ 185# Big goal is to stay just as focused on the assistance strength portions as the rest of the workout. Definitely paying off in the squat. Session 2: A. Set 1 – 1:59 This was huge for… Read more »
