Jerks

I’m much stronger on the jerks now. 5 reps on each side was easy. I don’t want to push it anymore right now until my hand fully heals. I’m looking forward to getting under the 32’s.

Snatch Day

Snatches (Fast Style)
24 kg. 5x15/15
-Fast style means I was probably between 25-30 snatches per minute. Normally my advice when doing the snatch test is to slow down, but for my purposes here I’m trying to build up some speed on the 24 kg. while retaining solid form. The toughest part with these was dialing my snatch form back in after not having done many below the 32 kg. for a while

32 kg. hooked up to a purple jump stretch band.
5x10
-Ouch. Want power development? Here you go.
Here’s a basic breakdown of how I used the JS Band.

Two handed kettlebell swings
32 kg.
20x20
400 swings
i took some pretty long breaks between sets as my goal here is just to maintain my cardio and build heavy volume. Long for me is about 45 seconds between sets.
On another note I’ve started using a few supplements. Those that know me and follow my training know I don’t really use supplements aside from some whey protein. I’ve picked three pretty basic ones and am going to use them consistently for the next few months and see what happens.
I’m a big believer that before you go using supplements you should have your training locked in and have made substantial progress, which I believe I have. Now I’m at the point where I’m just looking for an extra edge.
I’m using Muscle Milk by Cytosport, Fast Twitch (pre-workout) by Cytosport, and a Beta-Alinine supplement. I’ve been using the MM and FT for about two weeks now and I have seen a difference. I’m using the BA due to something I read from MC here, and my own research. MC is displaying some incredible strength pressing the 20 kg. bell at a very light bodyweight, and she’s very intelligent and puts a log of thought into her posts so if she says it might be good, I’ll give it a shot.
