Worked up to 85% on snatch and my opener (about 93%) on my CJ on Sunday
W4.D1.10.10
- Muscle Snatch: 5×3 (65, 85, 95, 115, 115)
- HHSN: 5×3 (85, 85, 95, 115, 115)
- CJ: 3@45% (137), 3@55% (167), 2@65% (198), 3@75% (228), 2@85% (260), 1@88% (268), work-up with no misses: 275, 287x
- Sn Pull: 3×3@105% (220)
- Accessory work/Superset x4: 8 udkb press ea. arm, 15 GHDs
The snatch work felt good, mostly because it was light. But I am really trying to drill home the right technique and positioning here. The CJ felt “OK”. I worked up to 275 and then jumped to 287. I caught the clean a little forward and felt more core collapse more than normal, so I had to fight it up, exhausting me too much before the jerk. I am thinking seriously about working up to my opener with just the jerk and putting that on an EMOM type workout for about 10 singles and see what happens.

- Accessory (Superset x 3): Band pull-aparts, 20 DB curls
Today felt like absolute crap. I did not use any pre-workout in an attempt to cycle off. I had a banana before I went in to grab some carbs but it wasn’t enough. I felt hungry and tired. Everything was sore today, my wrists, knees, shoulders, and especially my lower back. I made it through the cleans up to 80% where I failed. I guess my brain wasn’t firing on all cylinders today either because I wrote down C&J instead of just the clean. I stopped when I failed and skipped the accessory work because I was so ticked off at how I felt.
W4.D4.10.14
- BS 2RM, then -20% for 2×2 (3×155, 3×245, 3×295, 3×335, 2×385; Dropsets: 2x2x315)
- PP 1RM (3×135, 2×168, 2×135, 217, 231, 247x)
- Accessory (Superset x 3): Sn RDL 5x3x220
Another mentally and physically difficult day of training. I felt weak and slow all around again. The push press felt extremely heavy, more so than it should. I have had weeks were I was close to hitting 245 for a triple, but today failed 247 for a single. Pretty discouraging. I had KB tempo rows on the schedule with my accessory work, but did not feel like staying. Everyone else had already finished and I would have been the only one in the gym. Didn’t feel like hanging around and having to open the place up for open gym.
W4.D5.10.15
- Sn Pull + Snatch 40% x 2 (84), 50% x 2 (104), 60% x 2 (125), 70% x 2 (146), 75% x 2 (157), 80% x 1 (167), work up but no misses
- CJ 40% x 2 (124), 50% x 2 (155), 60% x 2 (186), 70% x 2 (217), 75% x 2 (232), 80% x 1 (248), work up but no misses
For the snatch, I went to 186 and missed. Something about the 185 number that is in my head. I dropped back to 155 for 3 singles and then went to 175 for 3 singles. That helped my confidence a little bit. For the CJ, I hit 250lbs without an issue. Went to 270 then 287 (planned opener) with no problem. Called it a day. Really needed Sunday, especially mentally. The past few weeks have been hard training days where I have just wanted to skip this meet coming up this weekend. This was a needed day to get my mind back in the game.
