More (Ugly) Bottom Up Cleans

I thought I'd return to work on my current glaring weakness - the Bottom Up Clean - today. Starting my first set off with a 12kg turned out to be an ugly mess. The second time through, I opted to go lighter with the 8kg. Viola! It was a thing of beauty. =)

Of course there were a few other sets mixed in between it all. Here's what today looked like...

Bottom Up Clean: 12kg - L90sec/R9sec (6/15)
2 min rest
Snatch: 12kg - L90sec/R90sec (24/24)
2 min rest
Long Cycle Press: 12kg - L90sec/R90sec (12/12)
2 min rest
Bottom Up Clean: 8g - L90sec/R9sec (24/24)
2 min rest
Snatch: 12kg - L90sec/R90sec (24/24)
2 min rest
Long Cycle Press: 12kg - L90sec/R90sec (12/12)


18 minutes of work plus 10 minutes of rest, total session 28 minutes. Early on I totally forgot about my breathing. I will have to remember not to pick challenging movements when I am trying to focus on something specific. One should really be able to go on auto-pilot for the most part so you can focus in on your target of the day. I goofed by choosing the Bottom Up Cleans. But I'll remember next time.

That's it and that's all for today. Snatch 'em high y'all!
