Heavy session.



24 kg Jerk, 2 min/10 reps. The video below.

16 kg Jerk, 5 sets of 2 min. The video of the first set below.

Total reps - 75. Progressing.


Snatch 24 kg: 10 Left/10Right. Rest. 1 min left/1min right


Comments. 24 kg jerks feel a bit better. On the other hand, 16 kg jerks feel way better: crispier, sharper, faster. Today I observed a side-effect of large(r) volume: in the third set I did not feel the usual tension in my pecs and delts. It looks like the body subconsciously adjusts to high number of reps and the economy of movement improves automatically. It doesn't hurt to keep attention on the technique though, and I was really watching those elbows all the time.
