Nice mobility and stability in the hole. Good lift

Yeah that lift looked sweet. And damn, man. 242!!?? Killing it.

Ty dudes.

Freiberg, thanks, I still need to work on my **** left ankle/leg position/mobility though. Lifting on that bounce-house-like surface isn't helping, either.

BTM, thanks. Yeah I was actually 241 yesterday. Had a cold and couldn't really eat properly over Memorial Day weekend or since. Dumb.

I almost weigh as much as you, dt. That's really quite depressing for me. If only there were some way for me to lose weight.

Nice snatch.

with those goofy ass bumpers and crossfit approved squats you're looking like tall freddy bird. that's a compliment

*tips fedora*

How far of a door hold tho? 25m? 50??

Thanks.

I don't even know how to eat anymore. I went to a diner to get a "big" lunch and I probably ate 900 kcals and not even 80g protein. I mean, just lol me. I probably can only eat like 20oz of steak. Trrble.

The gym is not bad. It's not good, but it's not bad. I did bring in my nice bar to lift with today though. Soooo much better. You reading this, POW?

Hey wait what does "cf-approved squats" mean? Hmm. I took a vid of squats, they look fine.

1k USD shoes, dainty ultra-narrow stance, high bar position, actually breaking parallel. Presumably a hook grip shirt.

I think I might just be jealous

I guess you're telling me this because the next time you come down to Florida, you'll be bringing your fancy bar to my home gym? In that case, drop-in fee is waived.

9am, garage gym, kg
body weight 247 (I ate a TON Thursday-today, it was nice)

Copy and pasting from my spreadsheet
notation is
kg / lbs x reps x sets
if no "sets" are listed, then it's reps, e.g. 80/175x2 is a double

Snatch
70 / 155 x2
80 / 175
90 / 200 x1x3
80 / 175 x2
85 / 185
95 / 210 x1x4

Clean & Jerk 95 / 210 x2
105 / 230
115 / 255 x1x3
105 / 230 x2
110 / 245
120 / 265 x1x4
2nd jerk was garbage, overall final jerks were not great
I was running out of gas here and very tired

Back Squat
143 / 315 x2x4
Was supposed to be 6, but this was killing the sunburn on my shoulders, I was at zero energy after almost two hours, I needed to eat, and these light doubles provide marginal benefit, so I stopped.

most of the snatches, camera messed up on 1st 90 otherwise I think they're all here

I know nothing about snatch form, but your head position is cocked back a bit on the setup and your head goes forward sometimes when the weight is over your head.

Both should be ok. I am also not 100% sure on this though.

clean and jerks, camera missed 3rd 115 otherwise they are all here

Pay attention for things like neck stiffness & weird arm pains or tingling up to a day or two after lifting. If you get any of that stuff, it might be a sign its not ok. If you dont get any of those symptoms, maybe its ok.

I've never had arm pain/tingling. I have had neck stiffness/pain at various times, as we've discussed in the past. It's 100% resolved as of my (olympic) weightlifting restart ~12(?) weeks ago. Maybe it's because I ran NNM before that. Idk. Anyway, I am acutely aware of it, but aorn my neck feels great.

Hey, me too!

Too bad there's this big bald dude doing funky barbell stuff, blocking the view.

Good. I only brought the subject up because I know you've had neck issues before.

I was actually wondering if the lack of pressing has helped me (related to being neck pain free). Which sucks, because my jerk is weak and I could probably use the extra help that strong (push) pressing provides.

What music is playing in the last half of the jerk video?

Thanks.

Have you experimented with a "wider" split, or even squat jerk? Seems like the way you're doing it requires a lot of strength.

I was tired there, but it was still probably my WOAT split jerks. I aim to drive my front leg further out.

Normally I I think my arms are too long to squat jerk effectively, idk. (6'8"/203cm wingspan).

yeah, fwiw, I think the OHP was the thing that messes up my neck worse than anything else. Back squats are the thing I still do that sometimes messes up my neck. My neck is a lot better since stopping OHPs, and its better when I take time of from back squatting. I think I made better gains bench pressing when I was doing OHPs, but the risk is way more than the reward for me.
