Sweet

i have REALLY been struggling with the snatch and jerk lately. I mean REALLY struggling. I haven't been able to get under the bar well and land solid. I got stuck last time at 145 and it was u-g-l-y. So i worked on my snatch and jerk last night with light loads and lots of reps.

Today
12 minutes for 1rm snatch = 165 hell Yeah!!!
12 minutes for 1rm clean and jerk = 225 Moderate Jerk, but not quite as high as I wanted
Karen 8 minutes ( a pr by almost 3 minutes)
I was happy with my progress on Karen. It wasn't competitive with the top guys at Fury, but sweet progress for me.

My attempts at 170 snatch and 235 C+J were damn close, but just couldn't get it overhead in a solid way. A little more practice and I can get even more weight overhead. I am excited about my progress lately. Even when it isn't competitive with the others in the gym at times, it is still good for me.
