Tuesday September 25, 2012

Warmup included tuck jumps, overhead squats, and something else.

Did 15 minutes of snatch practice, both normal and split.
Had some good results. Really focussing on technique.

Alternated deadlifts and box jumps.
Got a 36" box jump!

Then did a metcon with running, burpees over the bar, and toes to bar. Did the toes to bar on the real bar for the first time, instead of starting from the ground and jumping. This explains why I can barely breath now and coughing feels like broken ribs but where your stomach muscles are supposed to be....

Thanks, Deb. Yes, I'm very happy with the shoulder progress. Not sure it will ever be back to where it was before the injury (as far as being aware that it is "different") but performance-wise, it is coming along. I'm within 10-15 pounds of my previous best shoulder press and 15 pounds over my previous best bench press. :pepper:

9/30
Warmup: Row 700m; Abmat sit-ups; back extensions; upper body mobility
Lift: Deadlift 45, 105, 130, 160 X5 (deload week)
Skills practice: Hang squat snatch PVC, 20, 30, 45, 55#X5

Really happy with my progress in shoulder mobility and strength. Although my weights are low, I can finally do a proper OH squat and snatch. I just try to add 5-10 pounds each time I practice them; starting to think it is time to buy some bumper plates. :)
