Olympic Lifting
Powerlifting
Crossfit

I currently had a few months experience olympic lifting being coached by 1 of 4 canadian national coaches. it was rough as shit but made me hard as nails. I smashed a tendon in my wrist falling backwards on a full clean and had to stop, then i had to move. but the wrist is healing and i cant wait to hit the platform again.

Tell me some of your most insane workouts

You need to keep squatting.


if your max was something like 275 then there is probably some tweaks that could be made. but right now, everything needs work so just keep doing it

Smolov is perfect for you, but its going to be rough if you can grind through sets and push yourself then you can do it.

if you already have a 300 squat then your cns is well developed and im assuming your recovery ability is solid.

you could probably add somewhere between 50 and 70lbs to your squat

have you tried some rack pulls a little below your sticking point?
bands could also help to teach you to accelerate more

ill hit up the rack pulls for a while, no access to bands.

i thought since i was only pulling 370, than i just needed to get stronger, not work on special shit yet

well if you have been stuck at that weight for some time they can't hurt
just be sure to use the same form as you would for a deadlift and to start them a few inches below your sticking point

side note, i will do the rack pulls but i have to note that the groove on a rack pull is different than a deadlift. the only way to really keep it the same is to do band deadlifts. alas no bands

I fell back once doing a snatch. It was only 135lbs, but I lost my balance at the very top and just tumbled onto my back, the weight crashing behind me.

The shitty part was that I was at a regular gym and there was a ton of people around. Luckily no one was hit, they weren't bumper plates, and it was horribly embarrassing. I just avoid full snatches now. I go when it's late and there's literally nobody there and I just do clean and jerks instead, because I'm scared of snatches now.

For time:
135-pound Clean and Jerk, 30 reps

Power Cleans are allowed, but if you're feeling like He-Man you can do Squat Cleans.
