EMOM 9 min:
3 Bench Press med band 9x3 75 kg

Incline DB Press 3x8 25 kg

Strict Pull-ups 3x max 19,13,12

Underhand Close Grip Rows 3x8 60 kg

1 clean + 3 squat jerks with 40,40,45,45,50,50,55,55, 60,60 kg

L-sit 3x max

The squat jerks were great today! I've finally found the groove, had one perfect set at 55 kg!
I did my usual 1x2 25 kg on pull ups and went a bit crazy with 1x1 45 kg... that turned out to be a mistake in a weird way...
The first 10 reps was sooo easy that I accidently pull myself 0,5-1 cm from the chest and then I died out at 17 reps. I did not notice this but my brother did and asked me if I was supposed to pull to the chest.

Max attempt on squats.
« Reply #73 on: May 04, 2015, 03:49:49 PM »
Back squat 1 RM:
60x5
80x4
100x2
120x1
135-fail

Clean high pulls 1x1: 120 kg, 130 kg, 135 kg, 135 kg, 125 kg, 120 kg, 120 kg, 117,5 kg

Really pissed off right now! This program clearly does not work well for me when it comes to squatting and pressing. So I'll finish this month and then I'll take a different approach.
I did my easiest 100 kgx2 and 120 kgx1 (with better form than ever).

Snatch max attempt tomorrow!

Caught some sort of cold yesterday.... sore throat, dizzy spells and tired... really tired! Normally I would force myself to do a WO or max attempt but I think it's wiser to rest this time(read: for a change).

Better today! Lots of raw honey and sleep.
I will give feedback to the coach this week and end the program.
Things that were good: Better general health (stability, RC:s etc), better lockout in my jerk, snatch and push press. More active in the third pull and better stamina in my pull ups .
Bad stuff: No increase in squat strength, decreased strength in my OHP (at least -5 kg), weaker bench and no increase in snatch pull strength (maybe even s decrease here).

Olympic weightlifting with leg strength focus!
« Reply #76 on: May 11, 2015, 06:46:31 PM »
The program is loosely based on the "russian squat routine" and some 5x5. I'll do 5 WO:s/week at least until july.
I will just do the squats 2 times a week instead of 3 and I was moderate when I calculated the 1 RM.
Bold text=exercises that will be in the routine on a regular basis.
The others may go in and out randomly.

Monday

Snatch ramping up 1x2: 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 kg

Back squat RSR 6x2 100 kg

Snatch pull 2x2 67,5 kg 1x2 75 kg 1x2 80 kg

Squat jerks 4x3 40 kg

Box hopp 4x2 box +7 bumpers

BB row 5x5 53 kg

Bench press 3x5 68 kg

Roll outs 3x15 BW

hip bridge 3x5 80 kg (explosive)

DB curl 3x8 12,5 kg
