I’m back!!! Took a solid week off after regionals, ate the foods and spent time with family. Regionals was an awesome experience this year, and I think I emerged mentally stronger and more confident in myself. It’s a good feeling looking forward! A. Power clean+Clean+Jerk 115-125-145-155-165-175-180-185-190-190 first heavy liftin session in a while, powers felt pretty good for me, trying to get some better poisitioning so I can eliminate the starfish. B. Our competitors challenged each other to Diane, so I did that. Diane- 3:18 – all unbroken – might be a PR, gotta dig out my old logbook 🙂… Read more »

Hello! Forgot to post this earlier..think I was sulking as I wasn’t happy with my lifting today :-/ Power clean etc… Started at 55kg, worked up to 70kg but was having a really bad day. I got way too frustrated and then I couldn’t do anything!! Paralysis by analysis I think…The bar was coming away slightly and I started really focusing on it then it just went to bits and I lost my rag so I called it a day at set 7 and moved on! Back squat…70kg, 77.5kg, 85kg, 97.5kg, 105kg, 110kg Accessory work done…think I will follow your… Read more »

I was worried, you are usually the first to post 🙂

Less thinking and more lifting on your snatches. Sometimes its ok to lower the load and work mechanics.

REGIONALS PREPARATION PROGRAM Session One I did a little hodge podge becuase I didn’t feel good with the way I had been snatching lately so I did a trial run of the event. Got done with the round of 10 around 1:20 then took 35 or so seconds before starting my round of 8’s, got through those around 3:15 and started my round of 3:50. Hit them all today, had much better focus. Stuck to the intervals you set below, and then did my round of 4’s at every 40 ish seconds. With the transitions and loading weight I made… Read more »

Trust yourself and commit to the lifts!!

Move your feet!!! Most missed lifts come down to foot movement. Focus on leading with your chest and over exaggerating that finish position with shoulders behind ears. Be aggressive with your turnover (elbows high on the outside) and punch.

Oh and WHEN you get there you are hitting both reps 🙂
