I’m currently coming off a back injury that happened about a month ago after the American Open. These week was my first week back doing snatch and clean and jerk from the floor. It has been a rough week tryin to come back but it has been getting better. Today the gym was as intense as i have ever seen it. The last couple months it has only been a couple of my teammates training. Do to injuries and things like that. Today we had a full team training. With about 10 guys all training. Training was great across the board with 12personal bests between all of us. I power snatched 110 today which is 2.5kg under my best but since it’s my first week back it was a very good lift. I also had a pr in the front squat at 155kg as well.

Training
Tuesdays training was a a light day. I snatched up to 110kg and clean and jerked up to 130kg. No misses
Today was post to be a heavy day but my back was hurting today so i was only able to hit 110kg snatch and 120 clean and jerk. My coach had to me do front squats today because back squat hurts my back. So i did 3 sets of 5 at 130kg which was pretty easy. So hopefully my numbers will start going up as soon as i can get my back health.

Rob I heard that the other day you were going crazy in the gym! I heard you went under 130kg twice locking them both out but missing them infront or behind. still good going under pr weight, that takes balls and guts, so good shit. thats good that your back is getting better, staying injury free is very key in this sport…or any sport i guess lol. even if you have a bad back, thats great you are still training with it and not backing down! keep fighting through that shit, to many people have a weird tweek and take to much time off, screw that, keep pushing! I will be there tomorrow at the meet in sacramento coaching my 14 year old super star aka future school age american record snatch holder aka olympic hopefull Andrew! This kid has a big future in this sport and will be great to watch him in the olympics! I am also excited to see our team mates nate and anthony! the new young bucks to the California strength mafia. do you lift on sundays? when is your next meet? are you lifting tomorrow? well I guess I will see you tomorrow buddy, later.
Training this week has been good but a little different without coach. I had a couple close misses at 130kg snatch on monday. They were just a little to far behind. Coach has been sick all week so it has just been me and my teammates. Big lift friday so hopefully i get that 130kg snatch today.
Hey jon i usually do not train on sundays. Usually i train monday through saturday. I’m not sure when my next meet will be. I’m feeling pretty good so most likely soon. Possibly at the competition at the end of the month. How did your lifter Andrew do? I have seen videos of him. He has amazing technique for being so young. How long as he been lifting?

Hey its been awhile many because i been doing a lot of things different fof training. I went to the arnold classic and only made my openers of 119 snatch and 140 clean and jerk. I had a back spasm in my warm ups on the snatch so i was in some serious pain during the competition. I dont have another big meet until nationals so i have been off and on with training the lifts. Last week was my first time taking time off in over a yr to try and give my back time to recover. I ended up hyper extending my back. SO i been having to do a lot of core work to try and even out my back and abs. Many planks and things like that. I started the lifts again this week but extremely light. I snatched 70kg yesturday and clean and jerked 90kg. Today i did 80kg power snatch and 100kg power clean. I plan on goin up slowly so i can keep my back from acting up again. So wish me luck
Hey Im back and finally healthy. I took about 2 weeks off to recover and did some stuff to help strength my back and everything.
I been training again for the last 2 weeks. I had a competition last sunday. I snatched 121kg and clean and jerked 137kg which were my openers so not a great competition again but not bad for my first week of training.
I came in on monday the day after my competition. I snatched 120 and clean and jerked 140. Figures i would do a better total the day after a competition with my luck.
Tuesday i got after hitting a 115kg power snatch for a PR. Then taking three attempts at 117Kg power snatch but catching a little to low. THen i power snatched it on the fourth attempt. 117kg was a 5kg PR power snatch.
Wensday i snatched 120 with a couple close misses at 127 and clean and jerked 140.
Today i hit 110 power snatch and 120 power clean.
This week has been a good training week so far and only getting better. I still do reverse hypers, cal strength extensions, and core work to keep my back strong. But im feeling 100 percent.

Jared im not really sure what my goals are for nationals as in numbers wise. I want to break into the top 10 in the country for the 85kg weight class. Originally i was thinking around a 290kg total. 135snatch and 155clean and jerk. but as good as i been feeling im goin to push myself and go after a 300kg total. 140kg snatch and 160 clean and jerk. I kno they wont be easy numbers to get. i have to put 10kg on both my best lifts but im a push to get as close as i can to those numbers.
