July 6, 2012 Lower Body


  • Low Box Squats: 235*5 255*5 280*5 305*1
  • Hanging Power Snatch: 145*3 155*3 165*X

Really enjoy low box squats; the box I'm using gets me to about 1.5-2" above olympic depth.  Having that pause on the bottom too has really helped me get out of the parallel or sub-parallel position on them, should help with regular squats when I go back to them in a couple weeks.  Hanging power snatches went well, up to the 165.  I got 155 EASILY.  I should've gotten 165. Tried 3 times never got close.  Lost one actually crashed down onto my neck, pushed me over and forced me to do a good morning out.  Neck hurts.  Not good times.  No idea why 165 is proving so hard for me; I think it's psychological, it just feels so much heavier than 155, and my grip starts to feel less secure by the time I get to those higher weights as well.
