A little Oly class lifting ensued during the final hour of class tonight...I couldnt resist.
Split Snatch: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
75-95-105-115-125-135-145-155 (PR)-165 (missed all 3 attempts)
Today was my first attempt at split snatching and I managed to increase my PR by 20#. This version of the lift allows me much better hip extension and allows me to keep my torso vertical in the landing position. Here's a video of my 155# Snatch PR:
I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.
