Stance back-sliding

Saturday, April 12, 2009

I have been doing a lot of yard work lately and this has impacted my lifting. In particular, my right golfers elbow is sore and my lower back is aching.

Evening Olympic Lifting Session:

Clean & Jerk (kg):
20 x 1 x 5 Hand-Clean and Jerk
50 x 1 x 2
50 x 1 x 4
60 x 1 x 2
70 x 1 x 2
80 x 1 x 2 1 jerk miss
85 x 1 x 2 1 clean miss and no jerks
80 x 1 x 2
80 x 1 x 2

Russian Strength Routine for Front Squats (kg)
70 x 1 x 6
82 x 6 x 6

As soon as I got to 80kg in my cleans, I started splaying into a too wide of a squat stance. My back was a little sore so I was compensating. Fortunately the front squats went well in the sense that I completed them .. however they were murder.
