More good news

Monday(5/21/2012) cleaned 72.5kg x1)3. Wednesday snatched 50kg x 1, 52.5 x 1, 50 x 1. Now my strength is going up faster in the clean then the snatch. Fyi my goals are 90kg clean and a 60kg snatch.

Things have been happening

Since my last post in April my hitting and blocking have improved and I attribute that directly to the fact that I'm easily cleaning 70k for doubles and snatching 50k for multiple singles.

Just a note.

Monday cleans, 52.5 x 3, 57.5 x 3, 62.5 x 2, 67.5 x 2, 70kg x 1)2, felt great! Wednesday snatches, 30kg x 3, 40 x 3, 42.5 x 2, 45 x 2, 47.5 x 2, 50kg x 1)2, no problems!

Apologize and other stuff

I'm sorry for misleading you, I had every intention of holding my "pain free sports" clinic back when I posted last (September) however some personal things arose and I was delayed. I do hope to hold this clinic soon but as of this posting I have no date set. Some other musing I want to share with you. As a personal trainer I am still surprised when people don't know the difference between carbs/fats/proteins. But that is not what THIS is about. It is about the poor advice I see athletes, young and old getting from trainers who should know better. The main problem I see is fear. Improving the application of force is not an easy thing but once it's taught is effects will be immediate. Once your movement patterns, joint mobility & stability are up to necessary standards, the ONLY true, safe and efficient way of increasing strength, power and rate of force production is through barbell squats, pulls, cleans, snatches and upper body jerks and push presses. Plyometics and medicine balls come AFTER one develops a strength base.
