Olympic lifting log for Monday, May 11th

Wow! That was a lot more volume than I expected.

No messing around, we got right into it.

Snatch work:

Warm up empty bar, then 1 power snatch + 3 hang snatch at 50%, 60%, 70% (did 75#, 85# and 95#

Main work:  1 power snatch + 3 hang snatch at 80% for 2 sets (125#)

Power work: 1 power snatch + 4 hang power snatch at 65% for 2 sets (115#)

Clean jerk work:

Warm up empty bar, 50%, 60%,then 1 power clean, 1 hang clean, 2 jerks at 70% for 1 set
Main work: 1 power clean, 1 hang clean, 2 jerks at 80% for 1 set. then 1 clean and jerk at 85%, 1 clean and jerk at 90%

Power work: 1 power clean, 4 jerks at 70% for 1 set.

Strength work: 5 sets of 5 back squats at 100% of clean and jerk.  I opted for more.
Worked with a new guy named Ben, strong but unskilled.  We did 215# for 4 sets then 245# for the last.  Felt good to be able to squat that kind of weight for that kind of volume.

Also, I screwed up the clean and jerk work, at 85% (175#) instead of just doing a clean and jerk, I did the complex again, and we were running low on time, so Ben and I decided to skip the last clean and jerk at 90%

I didn't expect to sweat so much at a lifting class.  I am wiped.
