I’m a huge fan of videoing as much of your work as possible. I feel it’s incredibly important, especially on lifts, for many reasons other than posting it on Facebook so all your friends can tell you how amazing you are. Sometimes you get lucky, and hit a PR when the camera is actually on. Most of the time the video gives you instant analysis and feedback, especially on things that are hard to pick up by even the most experienced coaches.

Then, once in a great GREAT while, not only do you hit a massive PR, but something else happens that makes the video infinitely fun and appealing (think Mike Poppa smashing the PVC after his buddy Snatched 250#).

On Saturday, Paul Castaneda had one of those moments…

Paul Castaneda – 275# Snatch (10# PR and up 60# in 6 months):

    Midline) done

    • As Jon North says “everything in weightlifting is back, not up.” Your bar path starts away from you when it should be tracking towards you. Also, as the bar gets just past your knee you are already on your toes, at this point you should have the weight all in the heels with the hamstrings loaded.

      Think back not up. Weight in the heels. Google MDUSA videos.

  10. 1) 155-185

    2a) 255lb
    2b) 295lb (off of 390, lost vertical torso on the 5th rep a few times)

  12. Been following the o-lifting programming for several weeks now so figured i would post my results to track progress for the next month….

    1) 2 sets @ 205#, 2 sets @ 215#, 2 sets @ 225#, 1 set @ 235#, 1 set @ 245# (failed 3 times before getting the 1st position then failing rep 2. ugh). used lifting shoes today which i rarely do so a work in progress. no straps used

    2a) 275# for all sets. no straps
    2b) squatting later today

    Conditioning:
    30 push press @ 115#
    30 box jump overs @ 30″
    30 c2b pullup
    30 deficit hspu (i used two 45# hi-temp bumpers w/abmat b/w so whatever deficit that is)

    TIME – 6:06
    push press and c2b unbroken. hspu were 10+5+4+2+2+2+2+2+1. really wanted a set of 3 at the end to get sub 6 but not so much. shoulders weren’t having it and these were literally half the wod in time. in retrospect might’ve been better served to do all 5s to get to 30. fun one though…
