This is the last week of the strength cycle before we begin the pre-competition cycle, so on Saturday we tested new maxes.
Back squat first:
Did my last warm up at 445, which felt decent but didn't give me that much confidence. I then took 475 which would be a 10lb pr. Out of the bottom I went way way way forward, and lost it. Try 2: this time I wasn't forward, but I stalled it about half of the way up. My coach told me that after the bounce from the bottom I just didn't start pushing early enough (aka I should start pushing right out of the bottom). Try 3: taking that advice in mind, I finally managed to grind it out for a 10lb PR.
I was reasonably happy about this, but I probably had this weight during my last meet (where I hit 465 easy and missed 485 twice) back in Feb. At least this was high bar??
I was supposed to go for maxes in snatch and C&J, but I was too damn tired. Hit a 90kg snatch and a 120kg C&J and called it a day.
