After Watching this weekends Oly comp I was pleasantly surprised with everyone's progress.  Nonetheless we all still have a lot to work on.  PLEASE stick to percentages, and don't choose weights for the OLY lifts that you are missing over and over.  The point is to make these lighter 60-80% lifts money so that when we test and go heavy you guys will be firing on all cylinders.

A1. Front Squat @ 32X1 3,3,3,3,3 (build from last week)
A2. Strict Ring Dips 5 x 10-12 rest 2 minutes (Girls 5-7)
B. Clean Pull @ 110% max clean - 3, 3, 3, 3
C. Hang Clean - 3, 3, 3, 3 (build from last week)
D. Reverse Hyper - 4 x 10 @ 50% of 1RM Back Squat (Glute Hame Raise 4 x10)

Cash Out:
20-40 strict hspu

*coaches notes*
Clean Pull - Pause at the 1st pull position for 1-2 seconds, then finish the pull through full hip extension

  1. Mobility @ home

    *front squats and cleans demand it*

    A1. Front Squat – 5 x 3 @ tempo 32X1

    A2. Ring Dips – 5 x 10

    Result:

    185 lbs, 10 dips UB
    195 lbs, 10 dips UB
    195 lbs, 10 dips UB
    205 lbs, 7+3 dips
    215 lbs, 6+2+2 dips

    *took typical time to get warmed up on squats, but then went heavier than I’ve been going during regular classes–so that’s real progress, had good form, too; and my big progress on dips continues–never could have gotten 10 UB before–yay me!*

    B. Clean Pulls - 2 second stop @ knee, then through to the hit – 4 x 3 @ 110% 1RM

    Result: 255 lbs

    *hurt a bit after the deadlifts yesterday, but these went well – this is not my problem area*

    C. Hang Cleans – 4 x 3

    Result: 185 lbs for all sets

    *these ARE my problem – this should be light, but I’m so slow with my the hips and elbows getting through so I make my life unnecessarily difficult–elbows dropped far on the 3rd rep of 2nd set–didn’t allow that to happen on 3rd set*

    D. Reverse Hyper – 4 x 10

    Result: 180 lbs

    *first time on machine; first set was a waste, as Alex told me I was doing them wrong (flexing at wrong point), rest were fine; these seemed quite easy @ 180 lbs, but didn’t want to risk going to heavy on first go*

    Cashout: 21 handstand pushups [sub: linked red bands hanging from the rig]

    *hard to tell if I’m getting better; I may suck slightly less than I did when I did them 3 days in a row last week*

  6. A1) front squat: 115,125,135,140,140
    Squats felt good, could've gone up but elbows felt like they dropped a bit so tried sitting in squat longer on last set

    They are getting there!!

    B) clean pull: 140 lbs
    C) hang clean: 95,100,105,110
    For 110 got 2 bc I lost my grip.

    Went 15 lbs heavier bc Sandra has a heavier squat but changing those weights is a pain!
