Wednesday 'B' session part.

Felt inspired today with Sean's lifting yesterday. It is great that we can feed each other at the moment. Long may it continue.

Rack Jerk 40x3; 45x3; 50x3; 55x3; 60x3; 65x3; 70; 72; 77; 87* The 87 was an ugly press out. More about this later. Anyway,an ugly 87 at home is a good lift in competition. A 90 clean and jerk is a possibility in feb. Would be very pleased with that at this stage.


Back Squat 40x3; 47x3; 52x3; 57x3; 62x3; 67x3; 72x3; 77; 82
Press 45x3; 47x3; 52x3; 57x3; 62.

82 in the back squat gave me a slight twinge in the back. Definately backs up my plan to squat light for a few months. My squat clean is coping with the jerk anyway.

Dinner

During dinner, I thought a bit about my rack jerk and how poor it feels so a thought came into head and I decided to try it out

Rack Jerk
40x3; 45x3; 50x3; 55x3; 60x3; 65; 70; 75; 80. The technique felt considerably better, film to follow.


Back Squat 40x3; 45x3; 50x3; 55x3; 60x3; 65x3
Press 40x3; 45x10; 50x7; 55; 50x5; 50x5
Deadlift 92x3; 102x3; 112x3; 122x3.

All in all, a good session. Next up is Friday night snatch night.
