Re: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Tamara's log
Well, I am going to find out soon enough what my NEW maxes are
![]() But, I was at a 53 kg snatch and 69 kg C&J (the jerk being my limiting factor). My snatch is pathetic compared to my clean. I am ridiculously slow. And, I can reliably power clean 70 (and now probably more than that), but I can't reliably get out of the hole on a full clean of over 65. My best meet total is 118 - 52 snatch and 66 C&J. I went for 70 at Masters Pan Ams and got red lighted on the jerk. I'd like to open with 50 and 70 at my next meet. I think that is a good goal. |

8/4/11
Active rest day. Some snatches at 15 and 20 kg and some cleans and jerks at 20 and 25 kg. Not many. Just enough to get warmed up. I have a feeling that my shoulders will need to warm up for a looooong time tomorrow. 8/5/11 Training with Pete in Winston. I had four hours of sleep last night. It was not okay. Front squat: 2 x 50 kg 1 x 55 kg 1 x 60 kg 1 x 65 kg So easy. Pete said, "Those looked really good." I said, "I know. It's like I'M NOT EVEN THE SAME LIFTER, RIGHT?" Power snatch: 1 x 25 kg - Pete was NOT going to like my setup from rep one. 1 x 30 kg 1 x 35 kg 1 x 40 kg 1 x 45 kg - Really very much on my toes. 1 x 48 kg - So much better. 1 x 50 kg - NOT pretty. Fairly sure it would have been a no lift at a meet. Pete was fine with everything except me being forward, but I am not going to blame that on Rip's setup because I have been forward and on my toes for the last 11 months. Clean High Pull: 1 x 50 kg 2 x 70 kg - UUUUUUUGGGGGH, SO TIIIIIIIIRED 1 x 80 kg - DYING. Pete said, "Get your hips through hard" 1 x 85 kg - MUCH better 1 x 90 kg - Heavy but still better Squat: 3 x 50 kg 2 x 70 kg 2 x 80 kg - Pete said, "Your body was made to low bar squat." I know. THANK YOU. 1 x 90 kg - OMG, SLOW. I was supposed to jump to 100 kg. DYING. Instead... 1 x 95 kg - So slow. Pete said, "I think you can get 100, but you'd better hit the bounce HARD." 1 x 100 kg - Fail. Oh. Dear. My first failed rep in a while. I'll live. So, yeah. Pete agreed that I seem really chill and happy with my programming, so I'm good. |

8/6/11
Best day of weightlifting in the history of weightlifting. My friends Mie and Andrew from Charlotte came to lift at my gym. Anyway, yesterday I said to Pete, "I feel like I haven't made any progress on my snatch in 11 months." I mean, I see what I am SUPPOSED to do, and I see what I ACTUALLY do, and it just never clicks. NEVER. So, Mie and Andrew were helping me with some new drills and cues, and holy **** if it did not FINALLY MAKE SENSE. I can't even explain it. It was amazing. My snatch looked totally different. I WAS SO EXCITED. I WAS YELLING AND IT WAS AWESOME. I am still slow, but I am so much faster, and it just MAKES SENSE. Squat: 1 x 80 kg 2 x 80 kg 1 x 80 kg 2 x 80 kg Easy. Snatch: 3 x 1 x 30 kg - working on the new cues 1 x 35 kg 1 x 40 kg 1 x 45 kg 1 x 47 kg 1 x 49 kg I mean, HOLY CRAP, I DIDN'T FREAK OUT. They all felt super easy. Clean grip halting deadlifts from a 1.5" deficit: 2 x 70 kg 2 x 70 kg 2 x 70 kg 2 x 70 kg Easy. Front squat: 2 x 60 kg 1 x 65 kg 1 x 70 kg 1 x 75 kg - Fail. I mean, I am not even going to get mad about this. The snatching makes up for it. Next time. I didn't hit the bounce at all, which was odd, but WHATEVER. Videos from today. I am still working on my setup, since I switched to Rip's setup. I know I need to squeeze my chest up more. But, for anyone who has ever seen me snatch before, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THIS IS A BIG DEAL. That is all. I like the first snatch better. Honestly, I think I got caught by surprise on the catch in the second video because the pull felt so easy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiC3T...layer_embedded (WFS) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzzkR...layer_embedded (WFS) |
