Sunday 5 Aug 12

CFDC (Olympic weightlifting cycle:  Week 2)

12 x 1 hang snatch high-pull/1 hang power snatch

40kg, 45kg, 45kg, 50kg, 50kg, 52.5kg, 52.5kg, 55kg, 55kg, 57.5kg, 57.5kg, 57.5kg

Metcon:  Complete 3 rounds of:

1 minute AMRAP overhead squats (115#)
1 minute rest
1 minute AMRAP pull-ups
1 minute rest

Score:  14, 21, 12, 17, 14, 13

100 Push-ups Program (Week 1; Workout 1):  10-12-7-7-9+

Notes:  Today was a good test for me.  I held up well under the snatch volume.  Starting position was strong off the ground, high pulls were great, and power snatch was explosive.  I think I'm on my way to setting a new personal record in the snatch of greater than 68kg.  Metcon revealed that my pull-up volume is still lacking.  Felt pretty strong on overhead squats.  115# is probably the top end for me in terms of high reps.  I'd like to be able to handle 135#, but it's just difficult in the hip rep environment.  Pull-up numbers started to drop as my grip fatigued.  That's inevitable, but I'd like to see the numbers higher across the board.  I should be 30+ for each minute of work on pull-ups.  Restarted the push-ups program on Week 1 because I couldn't keep up with Week 3.  Managed 13 reps on my 9+ set.
