L. O. G. (Lifting for Overhead Greatness)

petpre61 said:
thanks tomouk. how are you doing?

Not bad thanks. just started full (ish) training again after letting my shoulder heal. I have to start the oly lifts at 60% for 6 sets of 3 and add 1kg every session for now. Will be quite frustrating i imagaine but at least im back doing it and hopefully ill be ready for a comp i have in july.

right now I am 82kg but rather fat :rolleyes:

yeah it will take some time. I am around 80kg for a snatch, with some workouts
that is, and a 100kg clean (without a jerk).

Well I still think your goals are doable this year.

Who cares if you are fat - hell, a belly help you IMO...at least for this sport. Plus I am a 105 so watch your mouth... :p

BW snatch is pretty darn good. Won't win a meet, but could scare the hell out of most pansy ass lifters (not that they would understand why you were flinging weight overhead at such a rate!) and sometimes that has to be enough. I get WTF looks doing Overhead Squats w/

On the 100k clean...if only the jerk were easier...lol. Jerks, to me, are as hard as anything. I try to tell people to put their hands in their pockets and throw the weight off their chests...they look at me puzzled....

I love the elite'ness of this sport!

im starting my full oly program in a bit under 4 weeks, which im looking foward to...
anyway back to what i was going to say. i find my jerks to be easier then my cleans? not a whole lot easier, but i still find them to be stronger for me. wierd?

My coaches say that good jerkers have a mental advantage as the lifter just has to worry about the 1st half of the lift as they know they can jerk whatever they get to their shoulders, whereas the other way around the lifter is performing the clean while thinking OMG i still have to jerk this! Thats me; the 2nd one lol.
 
it is not like I am not good at jerking but up to now I havent done any jerks beyond 80kg b/c I injured my shoulder a bit. I am confident in my jerk :)
 
yeah. I know I shouldnt. I havent done snatches for like a year or so hence I need some time to get used to them again. darn dimas' snatch gif where he throws his head back like crazy. it is never good to try to copy the stars from head to toe.
