11/29/2009: Light Day

Workout Time: 70 minutes

Workout Grade: B-

My overhead presses were very light. I added 5 pounds to the bar and nailed ll my reps easily. I tried hang cleans and they were a little awkward on the joints. I might stick with them for a while and give them a chance. I tend to avoid exercises that the bicep tie-ins.

Deadlifts felt light. Hang cleans were aerobic. 6 reps and I felt like a fat man sprinting to a buffet.

Deadlift
415 x 5 (rest-pause singles)

Seated Behind the Neck Press
190 x 3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3

Hang Cleans
135 x 6/6/6

Barbell Curls
85 x 8/8/8

Hows your catch on the cleans? Are you doing a full front squat with these or are just getting a little under the bar?

My first go around was more like a hang pull flipping the weight at the top, but not dipping into a full clean. I wanted just to get under the bar to get the feel. Even with the weight on the bar, it's still catching at least 4 inches about my shoulders. I'm afraid to add more weight right now and do a full Olympic clean because I'm afraid of dumping the weight off my hands and on to my shoulders.

The catch is the part that is the hardest. This vid is good. Tommy Kono talking about CJ.

Good video. Do you know if there are many natural events for the Olympic lifts?

I don't know. I do know that the oly workout I was doing was a lot of fun. That sucker had me sweating my butt off. Overhead squats are getting a spot back in my program on light squat day.
