Session 1
A. Got to 125(current 1RM) and tried for 130 a few times, couldn’t get the jerk. I think I need to work on dropping much lower on it when we do jerk work
B. 70/80/85/90/100
14:58. At 8:30 I had three reps left at 100# but had to resort to full snatches and since I’ve been struggling with my full ones lately that did not go so well haha
C. Done
Session 2
A. 145#
Skipped the rest because I have a qualifyer workout to do tomorrow with a lot of heavy clusters so I’m saving my legs!

Sitting around 220 but I’m way leaner. Or at least that’s what people tell me. And gymnastics do feel better. There’s no doubt hspu are better. I can do strict in workouts and deficit in workouts where as a year ago you would send it over to me and I would laugh like there’s no way.

Only had time for one session so I mixed it up a bit.

Worked up to a 1rm backsquat in 10 reps or less. Hit 93% and called it. First day back from a week off, sorta.

Then did the c&j emom and hit 90% and called it. Was getting ugly. I’ll get back in the swing.

Then did a clean ladder for fun a buddy challenged me on. And yes, I beat him by 2 mins, and his friend by 1 min.

10×185
8×205
6×225
4×235
2×245

8:45

Then did the assault/wb wod. That ruined me. 9:29.

Anyone know the best position for hands on strict HSPU? Been trying different distances from wall and different widths, not sure what’s best though and Im obviously terrible at them at the moment

Strong work on those squats! I would keep it within the regionals standard:
34 inches wide by 24 inches deep, and the palm of the hand must remain completely within the taped area (fingers may extend over the tape).

At the bottom hands should be infront of head in a tripod position. At the top arms should be fully extended and inline with head just like the top position with anything overhead

Thanks Tino, I’ll stick with that for awhile and see how it feels. I wasn’t sure if it would be good to put my hands as close to the wall as possible to mimick starting a shoulder press in the same position, since hand position on the shoulder press would be hands directly underneath shoulders in an HSPU. I’ve always wondered if the tripod version was too far in front with the hands compared to barbell pressing positions
