April 12th, 2015 - 29th Day of Testing

Apr-12
A. Hng Power Snatch (below knee) - 7 x 2; rest 2min (80%)

C. 3" Deficit Strict HSPU - 30 reps in UB sets of 3 NOT for time (rest to complete recovery b/t)
D1. Russian KB Swing -4 x 10 TOUGH reps; rest 30sec
D2. Push Press - 4 x 10 MODERATE reps; rest 90sec


A.  65kg x 4 x 2 / 70kg x 3 x 2
B.  75kg / 80kg / 80kg 
C.  no missed sets
D1.  2 x 53# KBs
D2.  60kg 

A.  Felt pretty good.  Still having some issues finishing tall and with my footwork.  Left foot is the only foot that moves from pulling position to catching position.  Having said that, and don't get mad at me, the gym was having a snatch clinic so while training I started to coach a little bit and end up joining in.  Acutally hit a fairly routine 95kg and took 4 attempts at 100kg.  On my 3rd attempt, had it over head, in the hole, but a tad bit forward and couldn't save it.  Each attempt was closer than I have ever been before.  Felt like my positioning was better, I was able to keep the barbell closer to me given pulling work and legs felt strong as well.  I normally would not deviate from the programming like this but there was a great vibe in the gym and I got caught up in it. Sorry.  But honeslty, it felt great to get those reps in.  Back to the plan, no more deviating.

B.  Didn't know how heavy to go hear and wanted to be sure to hit positions.  Honestly the 2nd set at 80kg aka the last set was not ideal.  

C.  In my wheel house, focused on maintaining hollw body and tight core.  Honeslty was probably higher than 3in and felt great.  

D1.  Did 53# KBs in each hand.  Hardest part was the motion but definitely the right weight, no way I could do 2 x 70s.

D2.  Probably was a little light to be honest but wanted to be unbroken and quick through the reps.
