Comp #6

Power snatch 77/2 x 4
Snatch 88/2 x 5
These were really easy. I am much better at snatch than clean and jerk.

Clean and jerk 95/2+1 95/1+2 108/1 120/1 122/1 125 - 2 x miss 120/miss 115/miss
Actually feel pretty good about these, considering I got up to 122, which is what I got at the last test day.... Still extremely disappointed that my jerk just isn't going up.

Clean pull 135/2 x 4


I'm going back to the ARC to do front squats because I can't squat heavy after doing heavy cleans.

*UPDATE*

Went back to the ARC and did:

Front squat 148/1 136 - 4,4,4,3+fail
Not happy about this: This was supposed to be at 80%, which means my projected max was WAY off (I guess that makes sense). But it also means that 136 is probably higher than 80%, and that's annoying. I just hope my damn clean and jerk goes up next Saturday. I'm going to be adding in more front squats to my training (replacing some back squats) because my main weakness isn't my legs, it's my back and staying upright, which front squats work more. My back cramps when I front squat.
