Cyndi’s birthday resulted in a bunch of PR’s last night! Ben hit a PR triple, then a PR double, THEN a PR single on the front squat! Craig got a PR on the clean and jerk. And, Cliff hit a PR on the Snatch!! Not a bad Monday …

Tuesday’s WOD – Power Day!

In the weird world of Oly lifting, a “Power” day is a fancy way of saying a light day! So, feel lucky. But, not too lucky. Tomorrow is going to be brutal.
Power Clean: 1RM + 5×2 @ 80%+
Power Snatch: 1RM
Front Squat: 1RM + 3×2 @ 90%+
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday’s WOD
Sunday, February 20th, 2011 at
1:37 pm
I only ended up getting some video of me and Brandon during our Friday session (which I’ll try to post up later). But, we all did lift!
Friday
Brandon and I continued our “Year in the life of a Bulgarian” by maxing out on snatches, CJ’s and back squats.
Saturday
The entire crew came in, as per usual. Some great lifts. Ryland hits a PR on his snatch, then rests and does it again! He’s been improving in his technique quite a bit. I think his lifts are going to be shooting up pretty fast in the near future.
Chris, Brandon, Riley, Roy, and I all went to town on some deadlifts and other pull variations. Riley (who’s one of Portland’s best High School basketball players – hit 9 3-pointers in his friday night game! Yes, you read that right) deadlifted 100 pounds over his bodyweight. Chris goes up to a comfy 190k. And Brandon does reps with 165k (he weighs only 69k). I finished off with some 5’s on RDL’s with 145k … I’m sore as hell today!!
Sunday
Brandon and I are just about to hit the gym to do some Front squats to max. That should work out the soreness.
Thursday Evening Workout
Friday, February 18th, 2011 at
3:54 pm
Our Thursday evening workout consisted of what they call in the coaching profession, "the same old shite". Lot’s of snatches, cleans, Brandon working on squat jerk depth, and squats.
This vids a bit misleading. Beth appears here to have done her power clean and jerk BEFORE she squatted. In fact, it was the opposite. She is in the middle of the (base phase) Smolov squat cycle to get them squat numbers up.
This led Chris to comment that given our Bulgarian tendencies, there may end up being some massive quantum disturbance with us doing a Russian squat cycle! But, heh, we crazy like that …

We had a great time down in Creswell, for the 2010 Heavy Athletics competition. Here’s a video of highlights.
Also, you don’t want to miss Beth’s badass miss. She cleans it, her hand pops out, and she re-racks it!! Wow …

I don’t mean that Glenn is old, I mean his blog hasn’t been updated in eons (well, internet eons!). But, regardless there is good information on there worth reading, check it out.
