Another week!

1/21/09 Ladder workout HSPU's and L-pull-up's. Really do I need to say more. I can't do either of these movements proper and so I do the push ups from a box and the l-pull up's are more like jumping pull up to a slowly descend s -hold. Sucks Time was something like 26:00. Plus the whole vibe in the gym was pretty shitty. Nobody was happy to do this workout!

1/22/09 Went out to Coach B to get some oly lifting in. The minute I left the garage I wanted to go back. He is so good to work with. We did some skill transfer work for the snatch. Muscle snatches and then we did a progression of snatches from different starting positions. High hang, mid thigh and then from the ground. We progressed through that with increasing weight as we went. The we did just one rep from the ground of snatches to build up in weight. I think my max weight for the night was something near 84#. It was hard to figure out because everything is in kilos and I was able to use the lighter womens bar. I think it only weights 33# and has a nice diameter for the grip. Since women tend to have smaller hands.

Then we did some clean and jerk work. I really need to work on faster elbows and really thinking about getting them around and under the bar. Then we did a little front squatting. Coach said that I need to work on my leg strength. Lastly we did some box jumps. Good stuff. If I could I would really like to get to his gym once a week but I know that would never work out. Maybe at least 2 - 3 times a month. A Saturday here or there would be good.

1/23/09 "2 min drill" 4 rounds of 1 clean and jerk and 1 burpee ASAP in 2 min. Rest 1 min. in between rounds. 8-8-7-7. 95# This was a tough one. 95# gets pretty heavy pretty quick. But I like cleans and jerking is fun as well so I liked this one. Good to see the other girls in the gym getting some and going heavy!

1/24/09 - usually Saturday is do what you want day but Andy had a different plan so half the class did one workout and the other half did another. I wanted to do the thruster workout so that's what I did.

1-10 thrusters 50m sprint 95# Time 20:30 This sucked. That is a total of 55 95# thrusters and plus all of the cleans that you have to do to get the bar up off the ground when you are to tired to do another thruster. So I probably did at least 20 cleans on top of it. My shruggers are sore still from Friday and Saturday.
