More than a MIXED BAG

QWA WK 3 DAY 3

Myself and Pete have started an internet challenge. Either my c+j or clean against his snatch each week when possible.
Snatch up to 65 only, failed 70. I seem to be able to power snatch more than I can snatch. I cant shift the poor technique


Clean and Jerk. 60; 70; 80; 90; 95; 100xx.

Cleaned 100 and didn't attempt to jerk it. The head is not right. Where has my shoulder strength gone.


Clean. Continued with this to see what I could do today. 100; 105; 107.5. Happy with this although it nearly pinned me to the floor. There is no way at the moment that I could rack 112.5 so I may have to wait a few months for that.


Front Squat. 60x3; 80x3; 100x3; 110x1; 120x1; 100x1; 92x3; 87x3; 87x3; 87x3


Military press up to 67

Deadlift up to 180kg


8.30
I came home this evening thinking how the hell did I only press out 95 and found 100 too heavy to move earlier in the clean and jerk. I did a bit of meditation, relaxed myself and even though this was my most intensive ever training day, I decided to do some technical workwith the rack jerk. My intention was to lift light as I was already 'spent'
Rack Jerk 203; 40x3; 50x3; 60x3; 65x3; 70; 72; 75; 77; 80; 82; 85; 87; 90. I found something in the technique. The weights were not feeling any heavier. Then I jump to 95; 100; 102; and finished off with 105. I felt I had more but decided to leave it for another day. I dont think I ever felt a high like it from weightlifing. Only 5kg off my current best after 3 hours training earlier. It proves o me that the mind also plays a major part in weightlifting. Roll on Limerick.
