EPTNice jerk by the way. Do you normally take that long to transition from clean to jerk though? This is purely anecdotal but I've found some success in taking less time after a clean and jerking it after no more than 2 breaths following the clean. I used to stand there and do a lot of mental prep before jerking but that just sapped so much of my energy.

I usually take only 3 breaths and then jerk it. It's just that my brother noticed my chest not staying upright as it should be so I was thinking about that as I did this. | ||

So here's a vid of me snatching 84kg (185lbs) at my coach's ghetto gym. I actually set 85kg as my personal best a week ago last Friday, but midterms made it so I didnt get very good sleep the past week though I was still able to train at least 1 hour every day and really focus on fixing technique (or at least tried to haha). I made 4 attempts after at 195lbs, pulled it high enough every time but I had problems keeping my back tight on the 2nd pull and at the bottom catch position. | ||

Still it's so nice to have a place to train again after like 6 weeks. | ||

I'm trying to somehow get access to the varsity weight room at my university as well. Better equipment overall, and better platforms. But really, you don't need nothing too fancy, just check out these ballers: http://www.allthingsgym.com/2012/10/re-makeshift-platform/ EDIT: I just wanted to say that I had a great snatch session today... Snatched up to 75-80-85 then 90 which I got in 1 attempt (new personal best, previous is 85). So I tried for 92.5kg right after, didnt get it in 5 attempts. | ||

Honestly I think the main reason our Strength and Conditioning coach allowed me to use it was because he's demoralized by the fact that the vast majority of athletes he coaches really dislike lifting weights and want to get in and out. To him, it was flabbergasting that somebody would be interested solely in lifting, motivated, and knows the basics of technique and doesn't need babysitting. It's really sad when I go in there and see the T+F athletes/volleyball players/softball/soccer/basketball guys and gals be really uncooperative and not put in much effort. Football players are always really motivated and strong though, but its one of those sports where you really can't get away with slacking on strength+conditioning. | ||

The problems happen when the gym forbids dropping weights/noise, because you WILL miss lifts in the sport occasionally and it sucks to get kicked out of the gym when it happens.

Lol I can't even imagine not being able to drop snatches. Really limits making attempts at max lifts I would think yea? | ||

No, the guy who ran the place was perfectly fine with me missing and making noise. Lowering max snatches or cleans manually is not that hard and after some getting used to it it feels trivial. Lowering max jerks is really hard and never gets easier. | ||

WHAAAAA?! The real Ilya did so??? The bar has been set way high now for your life to surpass this point of glory and happiness. Should I try adding him on facebook lol? I (full) squat jerked 95kg without too much problem yesterday lol (took me 2 CJ sessions to get to it). Only stopped because my hands started hurting to clean. I'm going to keep squat jerking for the next month at least. I wouldn't be surprised if I break my 100kg split jerk personal record with a squat jerk by next week. Current: 90kg Snatch 100kg Clean and Jerk 90kg Bodyweight Goals by New Year (1 Jan, 2013) 100kg Snatch 115kg Clean and Jerk 85kg Bodyweight | ||
