OL:
On saturday I got a 95KG snatch for a 2.5KG pr, and a 120KG C&J for a 5KG pr. Was very happy with this!
Strength:
Squatted 440 for 4 which was dece, but then I got 445 for 2 the week after. Was pissed about that. Since then I actually decided to start squatting high bar to see how it goes. I'm currently LPing it and am at about 370lbs for 3x5. It's still very easy because my high bar is actually not too different from my lowbar due to my short legs. The idea is that high bar involves more musculature in the quads but low bar gives better leverages. I will switch back to low bar a few weeks out from comp is the idea. I am going to do the same with my bench (no arching) to involve more musculature, then switch to arching a few weeks out from comp.
I pressed 175 for 3 yesterday which is ok.
congrats on the weightlifting pr's, bw snatch?
ReplyDeleteFINALLY!
ReplyDeleteha nice. next step, 2x bw clean
ReplyDeleteNice job, Yang. Very impressive. When you started your LP on HBBS, how did you decide what weight to start at?
ReplyDeleteI was actually planning on starting an LP today on HBBS...my max on lowbar was 335 (3x5). I figure my hbbs max is about 90% of my lowbar (~300 lbs). Then I should take 80% of my max and start there (at 240 lbs) with a linear progression. Any thoughts? Thanks.
So I have short legs and a long torso, and it was pointed out by my coach that my form isn't really that different between HBBS and LBBS. I found this to be the case, so I knew that i didn't really have to deload that much. If I were to do a 3x5 LBBS I can probably do something like a 405, so 365 was ~90% which seemed pretty reasonable. The only thing that hurt was my neck where the bar is placed, since I'm not used to that yet.
