TM week 2 intensity day + OLY

Did my intensity day today:
Squat 370x5
Bench 240x5
Felt pretty good.  My coach said my bench form is still shit.

I also got to use the big rogue plates, so 370 looked sweeeeeet.  There was basically no room left on the bar (2 45s, 2 25s, 2 10s, 2 2.5s per side).  I looked like I was squatting a lot more than I actually was.

OLY:
We just did muscle snatches.  These are basically snatches where you're not allowed to rebend your knees.  It helps you practice getting more power in the initial pull since you can't come down to meet the bar.

I also started hook gripping.  It hurts like a mofo.

  1. by big plates do you mean the black rubber guys that look like tires?

    hook grip is key. it's gonna suck initially but eventually it'll become second nature. i ride my bike with a hook grip now.
