Olympic lifting log for Monday, June 8th

 Second Olympic lifting class.

Spent the first bit warming up and reviewing clean and jerk.

Drill like, 1 power clean, 1 hang clean, 1 clean, 1 jerk  x 3
or 2 cleans, 2 jerks x 3

And 1 drill to work on maintaining lock out, split jerk then lunge forward, back knee t the ground while holding lockout. Rough.

Then we moved on to snatch, with some drill like catch high, slowly go deep on a three count, hold the bottom for a two count then back up.

The we got rid of the three count and tried faster and faster.  Once he was happy with that we worked on position during the pull, doing a reverse chain, starting at the knee with shin perpendicular to the ground with shoulder over the bar, then lowering into the starting position.

Then we worked the other direction, starting at the knee, then re-bending the knees with the shoulder in front of the bar and getting into the power position to explode 

Then we did some snatch plus overhead squat, or lunge in my case (and two other is the class).

Once again, it was ridiculously hard considering how little weight was on the bar. I was dripping sweat.

Next week we start "training".  I am scared.
