Day 1

This morning was day one of a six week cycle of Olympic lifting.  I am following Catalyst Athletics program, and after this mornings workout session it is going to be a tough six weeks!  Today's workout was:

3-position snatch (floor/knee/mid-thigh): 100# x5 sets
2 Power Jerk + 1 Split Jerk: 135# x5 sets
Snatch Pull: 130# x5x5
Sit-ups: 60 total

Snatches are already feeling better just after a day of working on technique.  I can tell that this cycle is going to be a lot of fun, and very challenging at the same time!  I'm looking forward to the end of week 3 where I will be going for maxes on each lift.  Video from Catalyst Athletics on the 3-position snatch:
