I’ve been having a LOT of issues with the C&J lately but these felt so much more solid. My landings were kinda wonky on the last couple, but the cleans were strong and the bar was going up relatively easily.
Strong work Jeremy! You got the elbows around nice and fast for that 210. Keep working on the movement from the top down (tall cleans to drill speed under the bar and hang cleans from above/below knees to drill the 2nd pull with an emphasis on the power position). You’ve definitely got a 100kg clean and jerk well within reach.
Awesome work Margie! Great to hear things really clicked today.

Didn’t go heavy today, just focused on the clean technique today. Especially need to work on that third pull/getting under the bar faster.
David – thanks for the great coaching today!

c&j – no squat on the clean

took me a while to get an aggressive jerk up but started to feel better as we went on.
did some kipping work – finally got more than 6 in a row w/ 10
haven’t eaten much today so getting kind of grumpy. about to pig out on breakfast for dinner.
It was great to get back in there. Thanks to David, Shane and especially Yoon, who finally could not stand by and watch cleans that ugly and stepped forward to give me a great new travel point to bring the bar through.I am watching the Paleo videos posted a few days ago and finding them very interesting. Of course, I am eating the cookies Melissa is making for Thanksgiving as I watch them, but I *am* watching them.

Yoon, thanks so much for working with me on the cleans, starting to feel things come together on the third pull.
Jeremy says
oops C&J’s not cleans, that was either becuase the cleans are so much harder for me or from going on 4 hrs sleep.
