Workout 12/4/2006 - 5 days to competition

:arrow: Warm Up - 15 minutes

:arrow: Front Squat
   135#x10
   185#x6
   205#x4
   225#x3
   245#x1
   255#x1
   265#x1
   275#x1
   285#x1 (this was my estimated 1RM and I got it. I may be able to get 290#, maybe 295# on a good day.)

   4x3x155# (80% of 1RM)

:arrow: Clean and Jerk (245# is 1RM)

This was my last high intensity (80% or more) until competition. The rest of the week will be moderate reps (12-18) with light to medium (60-70%) weights seeking to keep speed and form. I can't wait!

Workout - December 6, 2006 4 days to competition

:arrow: Today's goal was to develop a warm up plan for the meet. I wanted to see how long it would take for me to completely warm up working up to my starting attempt.

:arrow: General Warm Up
   3 rounds of 10 back squats, 10 military press, 10 front squats and 10 RDL's with empty bar and 8 kettlebell swings with 50#.
   Stretch hamstrings, hip flexors, low back, groin

:arrow: Snatch Warm Up to 185# (85kg)
   2x5x95#
   2x3x135#
   2x1x160#
   1x1x185#
   :evil: This warm up plan did not prepare me for 185# so I dropped back down to 165#

   2x2x165#
   1x1x175#
   1x1x180#
   2x1x185# missed first attempt at 185#
   :) This warm up seemed to prepare me better for the opening attempt of 185#.

:arrow: 30 minutes rest to simulate the break between sessions.

:arrow: General Warm up as above. I was surprised at how stiff my old body really was after 30 minutes rest.

:arrow: Clean and Jerk Warm Up
   2x4x135# (1 Clean, 4 Jerks)
   2x2x165#
   2x1x185#
   1x1x205#
   1x1x215#
   1x1x225#
   1x1x235#

:arrow: Overall, this session went well and I learned alot by simulating the warm up session and my warm up weights. The general warm up took me about 10 minutes the first time and 15 the second. I figure I want about 30 minutes of warm-up and work-up before my opening attempts. I think this plan will work well for me.
