Lower Body Focus
Condition:
My entire backside is still fatigued. On the upside, I finished with my last two midterms yesterday. I’m now officially on Spring break. Bodyweight is 208 lbs.
Warm Up:
Some BW movements
Light Plyos
Workout:
Back Squats (full depth)
3 x 3 @ 275 lbs, 180 sec. rest
Power Snatches (index fingers on rings, minimal dip to catch)
5 x 3 @ (135, 165, 185, 205 (easy 5 lb PR), 165 lbs), 120-180 sec. rest
Rhythmic DB Jump Squats
3 x 8 @ 25+25 lbs, 120 sec. rest
Abs
Cool Down:
Nothing
Notes:
Well, today’s session went well. 275 lbs still feels far too heavy on my back, but 205 felt like a feather in my hands. 205 lbs x 3 is a 5 lb PR on the power snatch, but I could’ve gone quite a bit higher. Oh well, there’s always next session.
After that, jump squats and ab work were pretty standard. I’m going to be occupied this weekend, so I don’t intend to train until Monday. The extra rest day will be nice.
Here’s video of a few snatch sets:
