Be a BIG fish in a small pond....

So last night in the hopes of sometime competing in Master's weightlifting I worked on my snatch.  I am finally getting some good hip contact and found the seet spot for me to hit and make the bar move correctly.  For me, it is almost at the belly.  I spoke with an OLY lifter friend of mine and basically he noticed the difference on how I can lift light weights really well but my timing breaks down when the load goes up.  He recommended that I spend more time on med-heavy weights and reign that in.  Keep in mind that I suck so the weights aren't heavy but I hope they soon will be :)

I warmed up and hit a few reps at 95, 115,135 and figured to start with about 80% which is 155.  My goal is to hit 10 solid reps at 80% then go up to 82.5%, 85%, 87.5% etc.  Since the weights are light right now I tried to make it more interesting by putting myself on the clock so I did one power snatch EMOM for 10:00.  After that I did my evil wheels in 6:54!

This morning was my deadlift day.  I am starting to dread it LOL, the weights are getting heavy!  today's work was 5x165, 5x205, 3x245 then 3x280, 3x 340 and my last set of 3x370.  After that I did my 7 rounds of max reps false grip ring pullups and 10 hollow rocks.  I pulled a total of 35 reps.  Made sure I touched my shoulders to the rings each rep.  Did not have the time and pleasure of doing my ball slams.  I guess I will have to get them in tonight after my clean and jerk work.

The Angel clan thanks you!
