CFDC (Olympic weightlifting cycle: Week 1)
6 x 1 power clean/1 hang squat clean
65kg, 70kg, 75kg, 80kg, 85kg, 90kg
Squat 3 x 10 @ 65%
195#
Toes-to-bar 3 x 12
Notes: This was a ton of volume. Moved some serious weight on the Oly complex. The power clean was easy, but standing up out of the bottom of the hang squat clean was really difficult. It was like doing a rock-bottom front squat each time. That meant my legs were already fatigued by the time we moved to squats. This rep scheme was very difficult from the heavy work we've been doing. My legs were absolutely burning on reps 7-10. I felt different smaller muscles in the lower legs engaging -- it was weird. Need to hone in on hip mobility in order to improve positioning. From what I understand, we'll be continuing to work higher-rep squats every other Sunday until we progress up to a set of 20 at 65%. That will be absolutely brutal. Threw in some toes-to-bar at the end to continue building volume on the movement.
