A real good workout today, cleans and snatches and squats, can't beat that. I decided to do the routine I had a client do but hadn't yet done myself with power cleans.
Power Cleans (for time)
135x10 - 24 seconds
155x10 - 47 seconds
175x10 - 1:12
185x10 - 2:01
200x10 - 4:59
Back Squats
135x10
Relative max reps at 185........12, 10, 10, 10
Power Snatch
95x3
115x3
135x4
Wow what a drop as the weight goes up. Why I went from 185 to 200 I don`t really know, probably because 200 sounds cooler than 195, and 205 was a bit heavier than I wanted to go, either was it was certainly tough. 175 was 5 sets of 2, 185 was 10 sets of 1 as was 200 I just rested longer between that one. I actually failed a rep on the last set but more because I mis judged the bar path and hit my knees which slowed it down. The back squats went very well, I was slightly worried about going from 135 to 185 right away but the first set went great, never gotten 12 reps with 185 before. It says relative because I was always close to failure, and all reps were hamstring to calf. The power snatches was more to work on form at heavier weights, which I will still need lots of work on as they are still newer to me. The last set was 4 reps but I rested longer between each one, I actually attempted 2 after that but failed, that was the sign that I was done my workout. Overall great workout, tomorrow....busy ass Mondays!
Tried your back squat routine today - but to parallel - and only got about 60% of your reps!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to work back squats in more lately as I want that to improve, I don't like high rep front squats (it's also not recommended) so I high (ish) rep back squats were the best choice.....they hurt.
