Clean & jerk 5 x 1 @ 80%
80kg
Press 3 x 5 @ 125#
Clean high-pulls 10 x 2 @ 70% (OTM)
70kg
Notes: Nice first session back after the wedding. Competitors were supposed to take three singles at their opening weight, but I kept it at 80% for five singles. Cleans felt strong, but jerks felt heavy. Need to remember to allow the shoulders to bear the weight while in the rack position, not the arms. I'm much better working jerks on their own versus after a clean. Presses were difficult, most likely because I was using too much arms on the jerks. I absolutely love pulls. Focus is on launcing from high on the thigh. Then, you initiate the third pull (under the bar) while keeping the bar in close to the chin with elbow "high and outside." I try to think about pulls now while taking an actual clean or snatch because the movement pattern in the same.
