40x3; 50x2; 60x2; 70x2; 80x1; 87.5x1; 95x1; 102.5x1; 107.5x [failed clean] 107.5kg success and new personal best. Unfortunately no camera with me. The clean this time was smooth and jerk ok but poor split. 110 -failed clean miserably
5pm at home
Tried snatching slightly differently. ronnie [wider stance] pete[ mix in a few squat snatches with powers] Natalie Woolfolk [ trying to start from a lower position. Snatched up tp 60x3 quite smoothly the 65kg no problem. 67.5 failed miserably twice. Please look at my you tube videos to see if my 60x3 is improved technique and what the hell happened with 67.5. This disturbed me because it is 10kg below my recent best.

Even though I felt a bit jaded , I had a go at power cleans.
40x3; 50x3; 60x3; 70x3; 80x1; 90x1; 95x1; 100xxx; 100x1; 102.5 xx; 102.5 xx. Delighted and surprised with new pb ogf 100kg and very narrowly missed 102.5. I feel that next time when fresh I could get close to 105.
I wanted to do the power cleans to prove to myself that the snatch failure wasn't down to a lack of power but because of technical problems
Well done Brendan, put some of the videos on your blog, Ive added a brief camtasia video to my blog to show you how, its easy peasy

ReplyDeleteI might be coming to the end of my purple patch. I am going to have to work hard over the summer. Very disappointed to hear that the Ulsters have been postponed until Aug. I probably wont be home during that period.
