Happy birthday brother; keep up the delicate balance between dodging the OLDS and the joy of making dad noises.

Oh, there are cars at #carshowthursday? I thought it was just code for taking pictures of your kids and skipping the cars.

Also, you definitely should buy a 1970 Chevelle. Super A+ dad mid-life crisis move!

Looks like you finally figured out how to use your straps.

Yeah, pretty embarrassing that I didn't figure it out right away. Oh well. I have things coming up in a few weeks (as I move to 5x/week) like high volume hang snatch doubles and triples that would basically be impossible or at least pretty tough without straps, so I basically had to learn... and it turns out it was super easy, of course.

I saw a guy DLing with his gf once. He was strapping up for 225 but the straps were going the wrong way so they were doing basically nothing. When his gf walked away I told him "hey, you know you have those on backwards, right? You want the straps going the other way." Then he got all defensive and told me he was doing it correctly and that I was wrong. K.

BtM - he probably saw that his gf swiped right earlier on your Tinder profile. So not surprised he was a bit salty.

It took me a while to figure straps also. Had to watch a youtube that talked about physics and the correct way to wrap them. Felt very regarded.

Odd day. I felt really bad last night and this morning. Tired. Had the ****s from eating a raw habanero on a burger (bad idea). Just groggy. But the bar felt really light. That's always a nice surprise.

kg / lbs

Snatch
102 / 225 x1x5
pulling it high as **** for 102, which is good. Unstable in some catches, which is bad. Rep 3 really high though, felt good.

Clean & Jerk
111 / 245 x1+1x5
felt light and easy

Snatch-Grip Deadlift
1x3 @max
175kg/385lbs x 3 x 1

ty. Just grinding. Nothing too exciting. (Especially since my next block will be mostly technique work.) Still a lot to work on, but consistency and planning has helped the most so far.

dt: how often do you practice catching the snatch in the hole? I haven't looked back but just going off memory here but it seems like you're always power snatching.

Any time it's heavy enough. I am doing enough hi rep stuff soon that I'll have to. Or I'll adjust the weights so I have to. I am never going to cut my pull to try to dive under though, I just can't do it I always **** up the whole lift then.

My focus of this cycle is leg/hip and positional strength, so I'm not worried about it this second (other than addressing possible shoulder mobility problems).

I may be overpulling. We'll see. I am trying to drop under, just pulling it way high. The main thing I am trying to avoid is dipping my torso forward vs dropping my hips down. Next friday will be heavier (109 iirc) so I'll pay attention to that and make more effort toward a full lift (prob the only option at 109, we'll see).
