Day #49 Sick workout so tired lol.

Well we did another new workout. I ended up triple broad jumping 26 feet. Not to shabby :P, Jerk from the boxes I hit 115kg. And almost finished with a 85kg snatch but missed the second one. Also Cleaned pulled about 140 with a slightly rounded back. I need to get more back workouts In to keep me from breaking! All In all it was a great and tiring day!

Day #43-45 Competition, Goals, Challenge!

Competition went pretty well. Considering I missed a couple of lifts, weird thing Is I felt a little tired because I think I didn't eat enough before hand. Oh well live and learn I suppose. New goals are to increase my lean body mass and get stronger. I NEED to have my numbers go up. My weight is fine and everything I just need to stay clean in my eating. Goals are to get my back squat up and keep my form and back strong. Those are huge in order to lift more efficiently.

Getting back to the swing of things...

Things might have been tough. But I have fought my way through all of it. Going back to a full work/school week. Trying to keep a positive head through all of it. Focusing on one thing at a time, school, working out, work, and anything else that gets in my way. And one of the hardest things to go back to is eating cleaner. No more crap in my system got to get back to normal and get back on the wagon. I am very thankful to be in a position where I can literally do anything. I just have to pick a road to go on and start walking. We will see how this week goes. It will end just as fast as it started.

The perfect Clean! Olympic Weightlifting

Wow so quick update with my training. I was performing the Clean singles at 85kg roughly 170lbs. I was trying to perfect the "bouncing out" effect when you perform the Clean. This saves you a tremendous amount of effort when your getting out of the Clean part of your Clean and jerk. Anyways it was my last rep until i had to squat. So the following is what i felt during the clean. To summarize whats below there i had a near perfect clean with little to no effort!

I finished my leg drive until my shoulders were slightly  over the bar but i was vertical. The bar path was close and i was literally pulled under the bar. By the time i realized i was half way up on my clean and was not using my legs at all! I was completely surprised! I am extremely grateful for the coaches i have that train me and put me in the best possible position to make me successful!
