11-6

Snatch 70/3, 80/3, 85/2, 90/2 x 2, 95/1, 97/1, 102/1, 107/1, 109 - miss, miss

Clean and jerk 102/1, 111/1, 116/1, 120/1, 125/1, 130/1, 134 - missed clean

Front squat 125/1, 134/1, 142/1, 147/1, 152 - miss


Overall this wasn't a bad max day. I hit the formerly elusive 130 on clean and jerk, so I can live with my numbers.

Here's my plan for the next 10 weeks:
3 weeks front squat emphasis because I lifted only 113% of my clean and jerk (front squat should be at least 115% of clean and jerk, so this needs to go up).

3 weeks explosive strength emphasis (mostly power versions of lifts) because my power versions are slightly lower than they should be as well. The first week of this will also be my max front squat week, so there's a slight overlap as well. Squat maintenance will be performed here as well.

3 weeks competition cycle emphasising heavy (but reasonable this time) classic lifts and squats, with power-version maintenance.

1 week rest (meaning lifts in the 70-80% range for technique, flexibility, and active rest) for maxing.


Also, for the new guys, I'm in the same situation as Nathan, except I'm in Michigan now. Also, I compete in weightlifting, not powerlifting (though I did a powerlifting meet for fun during the summer). Also, my weights are in kilograms, not pounds (I don't suck THAT bad...).
