1.25.11 Squat- 60/5,90/3,120/3,140/1,150/1,160/1,170/1,180/1,160/10 singles
I know that seems like a lot of volume but it's all I did today so it was a place holder for the entire day. It actually was not that hard. Yesterday was my openers more or less, Wednesday will be last warm-ups, thursday completely off, and friday being the final preperation session. Coming off two a days this should be a good taper. Any suggestions Jared?

definitely thought I had an epiphany on the jerk a couple times with some of the light weights. I'm taking tmrw off or else just some light warm up lifts. Gotta get all tapered for this meet. I have been mixing my creatine and protein together after the workouts and of course a contrast shower to top it off.

No suggestions here...That taper looks really good. Morning of the meet go thru some general range of motion (overhead squats, 50kg front squats, that type of stuff), for about 10 min. Other than that your taper should work fine for what you've been doing! I tihnk you are poised to hit a nice PR this weekend!

Simon - when was the last time you went above 90% in the C&J?

David, the last time I went above 90% in the C&J was 12.11.10, it was a 131 C&J which is 94% of my all time best 139. I would like to add that high frequency training (which I like) favors better results in the snatch IMO due to a shorter recovery time required for that lift compared with the C&J. This may in some way be the reason that we have seen a higher percentage of C&J's being snatched (because frequency of training has increased more and more in the last 20-30 years). In the 60s-70s when lifters trained less frequently lifters snatched maybe 70%-80% of their C&J. Now we are seeing many lifters snatching 81-85% or their C&J.

You're doing a 'Bulgarian' program and you haven't been over 90% (for a SINGLE) in almost 2 months?!
Wow. And you wonder why you never improve...

David, you are zero-ing in on one particular lift. I have been having particular trouble with the C&J. The snatch on the other hand, well I have hit 90% many times and up to 99% in training. Thank you for explaining to me what I already know, that I have not set PR's in any of the two Olympic movements in a long time. I intend to set a PR in the snatch very soon.
1.28.11 SN- 50/3,50/2,60/1,70/1,80/1,85/1,85/1,85/1 CJ-50/3,50/2,70/1,90/1,105/1,105/1,105/1 FS-50/3,70/2,90/1,110/1,130/1,130/1,130/1

1.29.11 morning: stretching/overhead squats, 3X3 SN/CJ with bar afternoon: SN- 100,104x(forward),104xbehind CJ- 120,125x,125x The plan was 100,104,107 for snatch and 120,124,127 for C&J. That would have been 2kgs more than I snatched in training and 3kgs more than I C&J in training. Not exactly the 10-20kg extra dreaming scenario Vince mentioned some lifters do. In my mind my plan was...do-able. 107/127=234 and PR snatch, sounded good to me. Where did I go wrong? Perhaps Vince is right and people shouldn't expect to make bigger lifts in competitions, expect smaller ones. Roz had a great day, 112/147 I think. He makes around 120/150 in training if I'm not mistaken. His approach is big training lifts and slightly lower competition lifts. I have to admit, I'm a little upset about today, Alex you've been there. I have some thinking to do. Today made me think a lot about opening attempts. If it's possible that you only make your openers, shouldn't those numbers be a significant amount of weight, something you can hold your head high after succeeding with even if you miss other attempts? I'm thinking go big or go home is the route I'm headed. If I had opened at 104, could I have made it eventually? First I missed it forward, then behind, a familiar scenario, not enough finish, then too much. Here, check out the miss behind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p5bzJzio7QFood for thought.

Simon, you know more about weightlifting than I probably will ever know. You are also a good strength athlete who constantly puts himself on the competitive stage. You will have ups and downs, but you are always back for the next meet.
Just so you know - I started thinking about that topic while following the training (leading up to the AO) of a lifter who doesn't post on this forum. I wrote it because there are some American coaches training their lifters somewhat similar to the old Bulgarian system, but American athletes have more restrictions than the Bulgarian lifters of that era had. I thought of taking the good ideas from the system and adjusting or leaving behind the rest. Definitely wasn't trying to stir any pots (I know Jared didn't mean that negatively) or criticize - just get people to think and respond (and help educate me).

Sorry to hear about the meet Simon. I mean, it coulda been worse- you coulda bombed! AKA- me at nationals But, it sounds like you may have learned something from the meet. Every experience can be used to learn ya know? You just have to take it, digest the information, and move forward with a plan of attack.

Jared, I know exactly what you mean and that's exactly what I am going to do. Thanks, I'm lovin' those Cal Strength vids! You guys are looking great. It appears Jon North is leading the way, damn that guy can snatch.

Awesome - those snatches were fast. You jumped back 5"-6" and you still nailed 107. 110 can't be very far off.

I think a lot of the jumping back and the bar getting away from me is related to fear. Something I want to lift without in the future.
