Gerald Sasser – 143# Weighted Pull-Up (and possible insemination):
Apparently Paul Estrada doesn’t take a challenge lightly. Here he is doing a 3 Position Snatch @ 225# (ho-hum), and a single @ 255#. Not that impressive for Paul, except he did them with his eyes closed, in skate shoes. I don’t know, I kinda thought it was cool.

You can re-rack.

2/2/9 left trap just won’t release. I’m either never high bar back squatting ever again, or I’m going to have to work my way up from light weights so that I get used to embracing the suck and it isn’t such a shock when I actually do it.
Snatch – worked up to about 75% @ 155. sat there for a while just went through the motions hitting a few lifts. Snatch really felt like crap.
C&J – worked up to 95% @ 245. clean felt great. jerk was eh.
Strength – based off 335.
splitting up the conditioning, doing it sometime this afternoon. will post separately.
thankfully, getting out and and going through the motions, even if it isn’t at 100%, is the one thing that seems to loosen up the trap.

This was the closest I got to hitting 225#. Feedback is appreciated.
More patience on extension, in to big of a hurry to get under the bar
if you pause the video where the bar is at the top of your knees, I think you’ll see that your shoulders are not over the bar enough. Your knees should be a little less bent. If you refer back a few posts there is one where spencer arnold references this point
i am no expert. but there is a link about ‘sweep it back’ by spencer arnold. watch that, it could help. i would say your hips are to low in the start which makes your shoulders come behind the bar. but watch the link it was posted 2nd jan 13. still better than my lifting though. I have failed 105kg 9 times in the last 3 weeks.

1. For the last 20 weeks I have been in a rough battle with 110kg. Ever since the post showing Spencer’s diagram regarding the 1st pull in keeping the shoulders over the bar, my snatch has dramatically changed. Today was the biggest benefit of that. New max: 115kg! (7.5kg pr)…hopefully with more practice of engaging the hamstrings and working on pull this will level out where it should be.
2. Clean and Jerk – 135kg…5kg off max, still elated with Snatch….no big deal.
