Sunday's Solitary Superb Snatches

Sunday 8th March

Dynamic warmup, overhead squats, drop snatches
Snatch: 2@34, 2@37.5, 2@40, 2@42.5 x 6
Jerk warmup
Rack jerk: 2@35, 2@40, 45, 50, 54, 58, 62, 62, 62, miss@62, 2@50 x 3
Front squat: 3@45, 3@52.5, 3@60 x 3
Jerk supports: 100kg, 110kg, 120kg x 3

Another good day. Snatches felt sharper, speed under the bar was great and felt very solid receiving the bar as well (hurrah for heavy drop snatches).

The rack jerks were decent as well although really not feeling sharp like the snatches did. Did some stretching on the shoulders to help me drop into the right bottom position, and drilling it between reps which seemed to help. Also focusing on keeping elbows up and controlling the dip, yet having an explosive drive. Got 3 good reps with 62 which is decent after a week of not jerking heavy, but missed the 4th and just felt knackered at that stage so I dropped back to 50 for 3 doubles to get a bit more volume in. Spent this session wishing our jerk boxes had arrived :)
