You guys remember when we had to scour the earth for plans to build Jerk blocks? Then you had to spend two days building them, only to have them break after using them for about a week? Well, joke’s on us. Apparently Coach has had the plans for these for years, but was diabolically waiting to build them until we all had realized how much wood blocks suck. Steel > Wood.

Click here: Steel Jerk Blocks, to see them. Now maybe no one will ever ask us about plans again.

These will be up soon as well. Don’t be mad though, I got the first set.


BBG

1) 15 minutes to establish a 1RM Snatch.

2) 15 minutes to establish a 1RM Clean & Jerk.

      I’m in Australia, but missed out on Regionals because of 13.5. Sitting 24th after 13.4. Fucking spewing! Would have been my 3rd regional. But I’m going to do my own little Regional the week before so I’ll be following the week 1 extra work.

      • Oh and I went power clean & jerk in the WOD. Figured it was a variation of the 2012 Games rope climb/ clean and jerk workout.

  2. 1) 106kg PR by another 1kg, 6kg since Feb
    2) 115kg, held back got a lifting meet tomorrow

    Queensland Weightlifting Assn. league rewards platform PR’s over the year so through strategic planning I will be only looking to hit 89/115kg tomorrow.

    The rest Monday morning before as much of Monday as I can catch up.

    Only 2 declines in Australian region men’s so I need to get lucky and get a third wave invite, not likely but will see. 1 more muscle up would of been enough or just don’t be so average across all my WODs!

    Hard luck SJ you were killing it before 13.5, you kill me most days on here, beast. Your times/scores are a great inspiration from someone in our region – keep it up!

    • Lifting meet Sunday, felt great today in warmup & on platform probably could of done some serious damage (good damage) if I was going for it!

      Snatch – 85/87/89 easy
      C&J – 107/111/115 also easy

      Went back to warmup room and hit 125/133 C&J (3kg PR) missed jerk forward at 135kg. Was feeling real good today. Also got told I get to lift at state titles in May and with just 5kg more in the total I will qualify for nationals in July.

      • Did the conditioning after (Mondays) 7×2 Hi Hang Snatch

        10.54
        All singles on C&J, UB MU 2/4/6 then 3/3/2 & 5×2
        I think my rests got too long, I was smooth sailing through to the end of the 6’s in around 5 minutes then just blew out with rests. Not great, not terrible but super tip for everyone; if you need to go to the toilet before a high intra-abdominal tension workout – do it! Gut pain and discomfort most of the way through otherwise.

  3. F/49/5’0/115
    Back from 5 week open + 2 week break. Qualified 45 – 49. Giddy up!

  6. Morning coach,

    Quick question, I have missed every attempt over 85% on my snatch since I PR’d 3 weeks ago. I PR’d on my C&J and squat in the past two weeks, (when RX) but not since. I feel completely disconnected any thoughts or insight…I was thinking about taking a week off?

    Cond 9 something. One bar but fast transitions
    Butt and hamstrings are fried

  10. BBG
    1) up to 185, getting comfortable at 90%. didn’t go for more because of the posterior issues leftover from wednesday.
    2) up to 265, getting comfortable at 93%. didn’t go for more…see above.

    HBBS
    20 @ 270 – ouch. lost my core at rep 17, fought for the last 3.

    Are these good numbers? ive only been following for a month but im seeing all of these big numbers in the 200’s and its kinda putting me down. im 17 and am 165 lbs. never did any powerlifting before following, just did alot of metcons

    • my first posted sets, 1 year ago, were based off an 85 pound snatch. 85. pounds. (I’m a dude). Now 205.
      Just stick with the program, don’t worry about ayone else. the weight will come.

    • It will come, I started a little over a yr ago and numbers were 145# snatch, 205# C&J, n 20RM squat was 165# first time I did it now I’m at 210# snatch, 275# C&J, and did 235# on 20RM (and actually did 25 reps, went too light) so the results will come bro. I’m about 5’8″ 165# body weight.

    • Evan, our situations are almost identical. I started following closely about a month ago, my snatch is 135 and my c&j is 185. Agreed, some of the numbers on here are daunting, but it’s good to know there are others at the same point in the game. If you’re interested, let’s baseline off each other…I’ll try to post every day, and let’s see where we can get with this! Either way, good luck.

  12. Snatch: 115
    Clean and jerk: 155
    Still adjusting after one week of always using a full oly movement. Power on both are about 10# higher.

    Hbbs: 155 this was a very manageable weight and used the recommendation of 70%. Next time heavier.

    Cond
    Still no muscle up. So used this time to work on them. Still did all clean and jerks in between sets of attempts. My timing is awful but improved throughout. Cleans felt smooth and easy.

    Wasn’t too terrible – last 4 reps were starting to get tough. I had always wondered why you put us through those nasty squat sets where we had to the hold the weight in b/n sets. Now I kinda know why… you sly boots.

    Wednesday we had our first baby boy and if things couldn’t get better, i got an invite to regionals that night. Needless to say, it was a great day.
    Really feel like I deserved it even though I finished 51st. Had 4 solid weeks and another week that was 3/4 excellent. So muscle ups hurt me, but didn’t stop me. Happy I have the opportunity to show I’m not 51st in the region.

  18. 1) 225# (caught 245#, but lost it behind…next time)
    2) 295# (felt like I ran out of time)

    Strength

    295 x 20. Easier than expected but got a gnarly tension/sinus headache immediately after which carried over into the conditioning

    Conditioning

    12:26 – One bar and my head was pounding.

    Extra Work to be done later this afternoon.

  24. BBG

    1) Snatch – 138, under 143 and lost it forward. So close.
    2) C&J – 153, actually really happy with how this felt. Tried 163 once, but fail on the catch. I’ve narrowed my current limitation to catching it, so at least now I know what I need to work on.

    Strength

    1X20 HBBS – 178, easier than I expected.

  25. Did a relay run friday and saturday. Ran 14 miles over three legs, a lot of hills. Stupid. Didn’t sleep for 40 hours. Came in today and thought I could do this, I was wrong.
