omg 5 reps lol. Looking strong.

Last vid, you gotta stay on your heels a bit longer in the snatch.

Yeah I went a bit forward on my attempts on the snatch. I've been single for ~2.5 weeks and I'd say it's showing lol. That and Jon North's program which made me stop being a pussy on the CJ.

BIG thank you to decafchicken! He suggested a pair of knee sleeves and a size. They fit perfectly and my knee pain I'd been struggling with is 100% gone. Thank you so much!

Looking fast under the bar in the snatches but you've gotta keep the bar close, stay over it, and finish! You're leaving it out in front of you. Cleans looking decent, but looks like you've got some arm bend going on. Jerk looks a little better but work on smoothing out that re-bend on the dip and drive.

Taking it easy on the technical lifts, can't push since I hurt my palm two weeks ago snatching but...

Managed a 3x115lb power clean! Seeing how I can MP 135lb once my wrist feels better it shouldn't be a stretch to jerk it. Supersets with 2x325lb deads make for a good sweat.

Still having trouble catching IN the squat position, instead I just power clean straight up and go into a full front squat. Any idea what's the weight ratio to a standing catch power clean compared to a "full" squat catch?

Also, are the big lifters limited by their high pull, front squat, or jerk? Which one should I focus on building strength while I'm still lifting in a "comfort" range?

@selbon glad those worked out for you!!

@abraxas it varies lifter to lifter. Its important to find your weaknesses work on them. For now i'd put a heavy emphasis on technique and speed under the bar.

New max DL today. Started at 205lbsx6, then 225x6 (previous max), then finished at 245x4. I feel like I could maybe bring it up to 275 1RM on a good day, but damn 245 was really difficult. Also almost had new max bench at 165lbs yesterday. Held it halfway for like 8 seconds before I started to lose it

Well, I had a decent day today. Still working on regaining my past progress, but it was all relatively easy.

Bench 120 3x5
DL 245 1x5
Pull ups BW+20 3x5

Benching felt decent except lock out on the last set. That felt a little difficult. The DL I think my back was way too rounded but I think it's more about flexibility than anything else. I'm going to continue stretching every day and hope that improves my form. That aside it felt really easy and was way easier off the ground than it was last time. I think I'll go for 255 next time and see how it goes. The pull ups I was pretty pleased with, although I'd like to eventually work up to a 1 RM of +75 lbs.

If it was a bit nicer today (it's raining pretty hard over here in NY) I'd have done some jump rope, but oh well.

So after 1 year I PRed my squat by 10lb LOL
Went for 317 for a 2lb PR then that felt alright so jumped up to 325 and got it. Not a whole lot of weight but still feels good to make progress after a whole year. Smolov imba (noob version but still good).

Congrats!

Things to work on - bit of arm pull there at the end, maybe getting yours hips through a bit more, and you're still jumping forward a bit more. I think if you relax the arms and finish the pull and keep it close you'll add some easy kilos to your max. Also i would add a bit of extra hip/knee/ankle mobility work so you can get an better bottom position. You're getting pretty low but i think if you moved your feet out a bit you could get lower, i can't really tell from the angle though.

nice job!

I was listening to a video with norik vardanian. He mentioned using snatch with no hip contact as a drill to pull straighter. It might be useful for you.
