It’s something I’m not too big to admit….. fear…
Today I tackled a 1 rep max Push Jerk, and managed to hit 165lbs, which is 20lbs more than last time. It’s a lift I don’t really care for, which means I don’t do it all that often and I’m not confident in the technique. As a result when I went to hit 175lbs I freaked the f*ck out and wouldn’t get under the bar. Instead I failed….failed…failed…
Even though I knew why I was failing, my dip was too low, too slow and I didn’t drive aggresively under the bar (because I was afraid too) I couldn’t get my brain and my body to work together. Today was not my day. What does my ‘I’m too afraid to do it’ look like… see for yourself…..
You were SO CLOSE!!! I feel your pain!!
I always follow the rule, once you PR a lift, even if you aren’t done with your sets, just call that shit quits! I PR’ed my snatch the other day, and did not follow my own advice and added more weight. I failed 3 times in a row!
