Hey! Sorry been MIA lately, smashed my elbow coming down from a Muscle Up on the J pins from the rig. Feels alot better now so I tackled today. Been taking bits and pieces from the programming and seeing what could do.

Session one
A. 45/65/70
Then
75/85/95
Then

Then
215/220/220/225/225/225
C. 230/240/245
D. Up to 265 (really bad mobility)

Tried focusing on fixing my snatch which seems to have broken this cycle. Am getting pulled way too forward at heavy loads and haven’t been able to hit much higher than 90%… Think it got better over the course of the 2 pos. snatches but aside from telling myself to drive my knees forward during the second pull I’m not sure what the problem was…

Straight leg bottom balance, anyone know how to do them? It would be great to get further explanation on some of these exercises in the posts in the future. Maybe all of these moves are thought to be common knowledge but a simple google search doesn’t work for a lot of these if we don’t know them. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t have time to search for 30 min before a workout if it doesn’t pop up when I type in the exercise. End up guessing half the time and I’m sure that’s not a good habit to… Read more »
