I am going to try and reduce the weight next time and work on form. Since next week is a Very High Volume week, I plan on doing many sets to improve form first :)

Beginning Thoughts: I have been "dieting" over the last 4 days. Barely any Carbs....lots of Protein and as much of Fats as I can get. The result? I am fucking dying to have some icrecream....But..I have to wait another day. Tomorrow night I can do what I want lol...Workout: Another day of clusters...I hate clusters!!!Overall Impression: I have my final exams tomorrow. I don't know if I will make it to the gym or not. I want and I am going to try to hit the gym but there is a 50/50 chance that I might not. In this case, I will lose out on one Lower Body Session on week 7. Or I might go and do 2 workouts on Friday...which will be suicide :D lol... |
Beginning Thoughts: I spent today packing up my bags and taking my boxes to storage...I leave for Mumbai in 2 days. My whole body was sore from moving so much stuff....I swear that inspite of being an international student I probably have more stuff than domestic students lol!!Workout: Opened the day with 5x5 on Broad Jumps. Drained me and I think I hurt my right knee....I don't think my knee likes to be bent so much.Overall Impression: I hope everyone is having a good week. |
The OH squats take some time to get used to. The obvious statement is that you are clearly WAY off balance. The weight isn't the issue, but you are performing these quickly, and it is pretty obvious that you have never really hit your groove yet. Slow them down and get the feel for where your groove is.
Check my snatch form work. It isn't an OH squat from start to finish, but I think you can see the difference in your form and mine, and maybe that will help you a bit? Note in the hole that I'm squating pretty vertical. Knees forward over the toes, toes angled out, not a ton of forward lean. Aside from some "challenge" in catching a jerk, the OH squat portion is pretty solid. The wider your grip the better your shoulders will rotate. |
AC, thanks for the vid :) Very informative and I understand. I've been trying to practice this move for a long time and one of my biggest problems is that I do it too fast. Why do I keep forgetting to go slow??? :arg:
But thanks for posting the vid. I will try and go slower next time so I can find my groove. |
Beginning Thoughts: Spent the whole day moving out of my room. I've put everything in storage and I fly to Houston tomorrow to stay for a day with my cousins. Sunday I fly out to Bombay. Direct flight. 16.5 hours. I plan on sleeping the entire time. Next workout will be on Tuesday. I will workout next week 4 days in a row (because I miss Monday because I lose time when I fly back to India). It's going to be a Very High Volume week so I am pretty tense...But I have learnt a lot from this program and I plan on writing a small summary of my going-away thoughts on it at the end of the 16 weeks. Right now I am not even midway through haha...Workout: Speed Military Presses @ 45% = 75 lbs x 3 reps x 8 setsOverall Impression: Good workout. I like my CGBP's today. Even though I don't bench press that much (at all actually) I can still hit some decent numbers. 165 lbs was not that hard at all. I reckon I could bench 225 if I wanted to. However, I don't and my shoulders definitely don't want me to haha... |
enjoy your trip home man....
and 4 workouts in a row :biglaugh: |

Just tell yourself "I am Anuj, I am in control of this weight, it will do what I tell it to do..." then keep your head in the lift and bend it to your will. You are capable, just not focused at this point. |

Just don't bend the bar with your head... I tried. It doesn't work. Ow! IronWorker |
Breaking your will with an iron bar may be an option in some countries.
