^ Congrats Jake.



What's your best snatch ?

Thanks, man.

I can't snatch for shit. It is lightyears behind my clean. Its all technical for me. To date, my best snatch is 103 kg (227 lbs). I went after 235 lbs the other day and caught it easily but my left arm collapsed. I am hoping to bring that way up by the Arnold to hopefully make a run at qualifying for nationals.

Technical issues are the worst. How far are you from qualifying ?

I think last year for 105 kg the qualifying total was 285. I think I can hit 155-160 kg clean & jerk by March which means if I can hit 125-130 kg snatch, if the qualifying totals are the same, I will be able to qualify.
 
465-lb. sumo deadlift today. This was supposed to be a deload day (oops), but these felt good, and my technique is getting better. I felt like I had more in the tank, but I'll progress slowly. Admittedly, this is a PR by default, since I've pulled sumo a handful of times in my life, but whatever.

Actually, I had three PRs: 410, then 430, then 465. Ah, to be a noob again...

Here is the clean & jerk I've wanted since I missed it a few sessions ago. I knew I could hit it. I think I am good for more but I decided to cut myself off to end on a make. Going in today I actually had no intention of going this heavy but everything was feeling good so I went for it.

Holy shit man. I suck at oly lifts so bad. Your form puts mine to shame.

Impressive!
 
Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I really appreciate it. I hope I can iron out some things with my jerk technique so I can jerk as much as I can clean.

Kill Kill, mine wasn't too good up until about a year and a half ago. I could "high school clean (bad start, catch it standing straight up with feet out wide)" around 285 but I started really working on fixing my technique and it has really come along since then. The thing that really helped me was picking one thing to really hammer during a training session and repeat that cue over and over in my head before the lift.

Keosawa, thanks for the kind words. I just need to get pound for pound as strong as your are so I can really start putting up some serious weight.
 
very impressive Jake, made that look easy



my contribution to the thread, since im kind of a newb i dont post all my PR's cause most of them are because ive never done that specific rep scheme alot before, but i was pretty happy with this one tonight

 
Nice cnj Jake. Looked easy!

Also, those squats were smooth mmajester. Your progress lately has been phenomenol.

New jerk PR today. Hit 102kg (+2kg) from the rack. Definitely good for more.
 
Thanks toonie!

Nice jerk btw
 
3 rep PR: 410lbs low bar squat. Reps start at 0:45



I hit 460lbs (+20lbs PR) on the deadlift last week too. Getting pretty close to my goal of 200/300/400/500

edit: holy GM on the last rep eh...

Also, 5'9, 197lbs at time of lift.

That's a killer squat you've got, keltic. Congrats.

335x3 for standing goodmornings today. These felt pretty easy; apparently my hips and hamstrings have gotten stronger over the last month.

As long as you hit depth in contest then who cares? Nice squats slave what are you weighing now? And by nice squats I mean omg I wish I could do that.

well, some people like to bitch about training lifts...
i know that i won't have any problems with depth in a competition... i am aware what my weak points are and getting out out of the hole isn't one of them

i'm about 286 now...
thanks brah!!
