Why do heavy singles when heavy doubles are right there? *said no one ever*

What collarbones? 🫠

It’s been difficult to get into a routine this semester as I transition into a new role, but not as difficult as these high hang cleans 🥲

Finally revisited one of my favorite clean complexes and I am shocked the bar didn’t slip from the front rack because the gym was no less than 110 degrees. Glad to be back in Miami

I began running this summer as a way to improve aerobic capacity, but was afraid it would impact my strength. Happy to report my squats are still heavy and I’m still just as sore.

Back to power cleans and I’m not mad about it, but my collarbones say otherwise

Worked up to 68(ish)kgs/150lbs

Heavy singles following a heavy week. Listened to the newest @strictscrutiny.bsky.social (and some metal) to fuel my workout.

73(ish)kgs/160lbs

Sigh of relief because I am back to my (semi) regular lifting schedule!!

Sharing some positivity- I started lifting 3 yrs ago as a gift to myself. In April 2022, I PR’ed my snatch at 100lbs (bad form and all). Today I used 59kgs/130lbs for a hang snatch complex for heavy triples. Progress isn’t linear, but I surprise myself every day I make another (and heavier) lift

After time off due to travel, we’re back on the leg-day-is-every-day program 🤘🏼

91kgs/200lbs triples

The best way to improve your power cleans and jerks? Open gym doors, 55 degrees and sunny, and the daddy yankee station on loud
