Nooners and OHS's






4×5 TnG Power Clean + Push Jerk – work up to a heavy set of 5
-then-
AMRAP x 7min of:
10 Power Cleans 115/75#
10 Overhead Squats 115/75#

Was a nice noon class, small and quiet. I practiced some grip hangs on the rope & stayed light on the strength piece getting up to #135.  Starting to feel much stronger on the Push jerk and Push press as felt today with the last set of 5 reps.  I dialed it back to an empty bar on the OHS to try and really focus on good form before piling on weight. As noted in previous posts, injury is a concern. I got to the 4 rd using #95 on the PC/PJ and #45lb (empty bar) on the OHS. It was definitely taxing. 2 great pieces of info today from Ben and Meg:
1) On the OHS-as you drop down, allow the bar to float back- its not going away at the bottom its actually staying in alignment- your head & upper body are moving to allow the hips to bend. (See top A above) It's a perception of the body.
2) On the Touch and Goes, watch that the bar doesn't float out and away from the body but rather floats straight down along the shins on the touch. 

Now- I've got to work on this recovery thing-I'm feeling rested and recovered waaaay too easily. Feeling like a I need another workout suddenly! Damn you successful training and Paleo! ;)

Need to plan out some new goals and get them in writing: weekly running mileage,  handstands not against a wall, some grip stuff and work towards that damned muscle-up!
