1 hour of olympic lifting technique work with Chelsea Kyle
Squat cleans were really easy today, went 125-155-175 and all of them felt the same. Overhead squats were not as good as last week, was having some slight discomfort in my left quad on the way down which is weird because that has never happened before. I just didn't feel as stable on these as last week.
The thruster/HSPU piece was pretty tough. It was definitely way harder starting with thrusters and going into the HSPU second, my shoulders were fried. I think during the competition I can get more thrusters, I didn't have a lot of energy going into this. I think it would probably be best for Jeff to start with thrusters at the comp because he'll still be able to knock out a decent amount of HSPU under fatigue.
The lifting clinic with Chelsea was helpful as always. I worked on split jerk, I wanted to find out why I keep hitting myself in the chin every time I do split jerks off the blocks recently. She said it was because I wasn't setting up with the weight shifted back into my heels, so I was leaning forward which caused my body to be more out in front, therefore I was hitting myself in the chin. I worked on trying to drive a lot more with my legs out of the jerk and apparently I was doing this weird thing once I racked the bar where I would lock and unlock my knees a bunch of times before I actually jerked. I never noticed it before. She told me to lock my knees and then short dip and drive. I felt a lot better after working with her. Chelsea is the best!
