Barely got any sleep last night as I had to be up really early to go to Google IO. As a result, I was a bit tired, slow & stiff today and couldn't match my clean PR. The 2nd attempt at 288 was the closest, as I got under it and about a quarter of the way back up in the squat, but couldn't quite hold on. After that, I practiced my jerk and failed even more miserably. After some pitiful attempts at 228, I dropped the weight back down and did some higher rep sets. I found that as I fatigued, I got faster at getting under the weight, so I'm thinking next time I'm going to do some more low weight and very high rep sets. I suspect the heavy weight is killing my (already crappy) jerk technique, whereas becoming fatigued with lighter weights might help me improve my efficiency.
Northwest Regional Event 1
3 Rounds for time of:
10 Overhead Squats (135/95lbs)
50 Double-unders
Sub: used 138lbs on the OH squats
Time: 6:12
Nice short & tough workout. My shoulders were my limiting factor, as usual, hurting quite a bit form having to hold the weight overhead for so long. The first two rounds took ~3 minutes, whereas the third was wasted on unintentional dumps of the barbell in between reps of OH squat. I've been working my shoulder pass-throughs and wall extensions every day, but improvement has been very slow.
