Saturday 21 Jul 12

DC Weightlifting Club

Snatch 1 RM

68kg

Then, seated press 5 x 5 (up to 85# with chains)

Post-class recovery:  pool

Notes:  Well, I guess this gives me a baseline.  I was hoping to hit at least 70kg, but the weight felt so heavy off the floor.  Plus, I stopped pulling under the bar and into a full squat once the weight got above 60kg.  My form was spot-on at lighter weights; unfortunately, it starts to break down as the loads progress.  Both Chris and Mike commented that I could benefit from drilling more at heavier loads.  I agree and believe one of my biggest issues is simply exposure to heavier weights.  Seated press was a neat addition.  Chains add a neat stimulus, as well. 

We had planned to take it outdoors this afternoon to work some conditioning; however, we found out that we're deadlifting heavy on Sunday morning.  So, we took it to the pool instead for a recovery session.
