Had a couple of fails on 65 kg snatch but all and all better than before. I'll just go for singles next time to keep them sharp.
My cleans are coming along just fine but I have to watch out for my posture in the catch. I have a slight lean back. Jerks are also getting better, no fear despite my close encounter bar to chin yesterday.

Ps: I'm a lot faster under the bar now.... but still not fast enough.

I didn't have anything to measure the box height with other than my body.
There's actually some debate wether the Scarecrow snatch is a real exercise or a fake one done by the Bulgarians to trick the western nations.

My warm up took forever... well about an hour anyway. Everything was stiff, slow and hurt but once I loosened up it felt ok.
122,5 kg squat was really easy even though I missed the groove and lost tension in the hole.

Since I developed a strong love for the fast lifts I think I'll start a new log 2015.

Filmed one set of power snatches @ 60 kg.... I can pull the bar a bit closer, the second pull was really good and the weight will be too light when I get better at going under the bar. I realized that I can power snatch 60 kg any day it looked that easy. 60 kg has been a psych weight for me.
I also need to do a lot of OHS my ratios there is way off.


The next routine starts monday. It's a conjugate system and a bit untraditional(crossfit stuff) and I'll do five WO/week. My new goals are set pretty high and are focused on the OL-lifts!

Squat jerk:

Ok last WO of this routine which derailed towards the end.
One thing I've learned is that I can do 4 week of pretty high volume then I have to back of a bit(at least as I'm conditioned right now) and my back can take a bit more than the rest of my body.
Chin ups seem to mess a bit with my elbows but that could be because I have to grip the bar with a narrow grip(inside shoulder width).
