Jerk Recoveries from the Rack today which seems to be in a different part of the Gym (or different Gym, of course).

Some Handstands & (inevitably) dancing to warm up...

Jerk Recoveries from the Rack: 190*1, 210*1, 3*220*1, 2*240*1

Looks like some work on his right knee

Ilyin is competing in a Meet in Taldykorgan, Kazakhstan on Friday in the 102kg Class.

Snatch (straps): 100*1, 130*1
Clean & Jerk: 150*1

[ChrisMcCarthy1979]

Warm Up Room, Taldykorgan

Hip Snatch: 50*2-plus
Snatch: 120*1, 160*(clip cuts off...I'm guessing a miss?)
Clean & Jerk: 120*1, 190*1

It seems he won the comp - I'll update the Lifts onstage as I find them...

Snatch
1st: 165 - Good
2nd: 170 - Good
3rd: Pass

Clean & Jerk
1st: 200 - Miss
2nd: 200 - Good
3rd: 205 - Miss

170 / 200 = 370

Snatches looked good...Clean & Jerks looked terrible (as a fan I'm surprised his 2nd attempt passed).

- looking leaner
- back is obviously still an issue on the heavier jerks
- Meso Hassona is in Talgar with Ilyin!

[ChrisMcCarthy1979]

Snatch from Blocks (straps): 100*2, 130*2, 150*1, 165*2

Posted before this session he was hoping for 160 (a double I assume)...Hassona was hitting doubles in the Snatch, working up to a strapless 140*2 (heaviest set shown, anyway..)

[ChrisMcCarthy1979]

Session 1
Some band work

Session 2
Snatch: 140*1, 150*Miss Forward, 150*Miss Forward, 150*1, 155*Miss Forward
Snatch (straps): 140*1, 150*1, 155*1, 160*1, 170*1

Bare-handed Snatches never really looked comfortable today...don't know if he commented as to why...with straps he looked pretty good...overhead still looked dodgy on the jerk unfortunately.

[ChrisMcCarthy1979]

Squat with Chains: 210*1, 230*1, 2*240*1
Jerk from Racks: 150*1, 2*160*1, 170*1, 180*1, 190*1, 205*Miss, 215*Miss

Lateral stability in the Jerk is a big issue here.

Hassona Snatches 150*1, 160*1 and 170*1 (not necessarily in that order )
