Yesterday I worked out with Angela Lim at Crossfit Oakland.
Most of the weights are in Kg still, so I'm never really sure how much I'm lifting.
This is actually a pretty interesting experience as I focus more on the movement than on competing with myself (or others) on how much I lift.
Olympic lifting is interesting in that it is very low pace with sudden explosions of power.
I did about 6 sets of Snatches:
3 @15lb
3@15lb
3@17lb
3@20lb
3@22lb
3@25lb
Snatches are pretty complex. You generally lift less than with the Cleans, but then again, you're lifting over your head!
There's always plenty of rest in between sets too. At the Sunday lifting group, there were 4 of us taking turns lifting.
Cleans:
With my cleans, I need to work on that sudden explosion of power. So I practice first with the high-pull/Scarecrow movement. The explosion should be so powerfull that it knocks me onto my toes.
3@45
3@45
3@55
3@55
3@55
Lastly, I did a few front squats. These are good for practicing "high elbows" which is also important in the Clean. The high elbows keep the weight on the center body line.
