Author Topic: Recent PRs, Any guesses how much I should attempt? (Read 617 times)

Ok, here's the breakdown from the last training cycle:

For the C/J:
FS: 120Kg - had room for a double or 125, easily, maybe 130.
Clean Pulls: 90x3 almost to sternum, 95x3 to 2' above B button
Power clean: best is 75x5 or 80x4, not sure which.
Clean: 85x3, 90x2, both good for more reps, 90 felt easy, good for maybe 100-105.
Clean and jerk: 85x2 = PR to date, but done about 2 weeks ago just as the peaking was ramping up.

For the Snatch:
Snatch Pull: 80x3 to nipples, 85x2 same
Power Snatch: 65x3, 67.5x1
Snatch: attempted 70, for some reason out of 5 attempts I got all WAY overhead, could have power snatched it, but I drop before I push the hips through so I am always behind the weight. So, no real Snatch PR.
Drop snatch: 65x3
OH Squat: 72.5x2

All these movements / PRs done over the last month or so, all at approx81.5-82 Kg bodyweight.

Any guesses on my mock-meet attempts, or what they should be, this saturday?

Paul,

Snatch: 65/70/80

C&J: 87.5/92.5/100

Unfortunately for me, I've only ever found that the only numbers that matter were the actual Snatch/C&J. Get an opener in, and then get bold.

Good Luck,

BULL

ya very true, dont get caught up in all those other pr's and the snatch attempts by bull sound reasonable. you said you could do 85 for the C&J for a double so have that as your opener then go for 90 and if you get it and feel comfortable with it maybe go for 92.5/95.

This is all making sense so far, according to my program I shoul be doing;

Sn: 65 or 67.5, 72.5 or 75, then 80
Cj: 85, 92.5, 97.5.

So, I guess we're all in the same ballpark. My major goal is to snatch my bodyweight at the provincials [Alberta Canada] in december, so if I lift 75ish now, then 82-84 should go at provincials no problem.
