*BB skill transfer circuit - I am going to do this before every workout that involves a barbell to work on my flexibility and skills in general. Hopefully it will help with my jerk and snatch:
3 push press + 3 behind neck push press
3 push jerk + 3 BHN push jerk
3 split jerk + 3 BHN split jerk
Burgener warmup
10 overhead squats

All with 45# bar


  • Notes: My jerk is on hiatus right now. I am trying to work on jumping the bar from a good rack, but I have trouble reestablishing my grip during the catch. When I switched back to lower elbows (not rack), I could do way more but it is extremely hard on the wrists and doesn't involve the same hip activation. Even from behind the neck I am having trouble catching the bar solidly and just feel weak in the drive and overhead in general. I might be at a point where I need to just forgo heavy/max attempts and just work on form at multiple reps at lower weight.
  • Nutrition: Really good. I have a lot more/various veggies in my diet now.
  • Body: Traps are pretty sore today.
