i roughly explain them on my first post
they're just plate twists with a 45# plate
one is horizontal, one is up to either side like a hammer release and one is down to either side like a lumberjack core drill

Wrist injuries are not at all unusual in hang cleans (even without smacking them on your knees). The other classic is to hurt your wrists or shoulders in lowering the weight for the next rep. The trick there is to keep the weight close to (even dragging along) your body as you lower it. This greatly decreases the impulsive loading when the bar reaches your hips.
One interesting observation: your hang clean is high compared with your DL, which is pretty unusual. This is not a bad thing, because it implies you have very little or no explosiveness deficit: you can fire all of your muscle very quickly when called upon. The usual prescription for such athletes is to add strength (because you're essentially as explosive as your current muscle will allow). That is, concentrate on your squats and DL, which will probably increase quickly, and then go back to the quick lifts well in time for the new season.

Threw with the UNH crew today. Snow=half day at my high school, I was probably happier than the kids haha.
10 throws with the 35 pound weight. It's been a while since i've done this but they were good
15 or so with the 16 and 18 pound shot. This could have gone better but I have not practice in forever so this was fun for me.
Back to the weight room tomorrow or thursday

Bench
8x135, 3x185, 3x225, 3x275, 3x295, 3x315 Felt tight after these even though they were easy, plus no spotter, so I called it.

It hurts when my back is compressed (like when weight is on my shoulders) but when I hold it in my hands like a dead or clean, my back is fine. Weird, but I will be stretching, rolling out, etc until it gets better. For now, no squats...boo!

Dead lift
135x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 365x5
Decided to try to do push presses with the hex bar....bad idea. Really hard to get heavier than 135 around my head to push it. Ended up tweaking my neck and upper back at the end. Pissed.
135x5, 135x5, 185x5, 185x5
Incline Press
135x8, 185x8, 225x8
Neck is feeling better today so I'll just keep resting it. I think next week while also getting back into it hard, I wanna add in some plyos to get my spring up.

So I am only getting into the gym twice this week due to tons of teacher stuff. Lame. Also I realized that I need to drop some LBS big time as I have put on about 15-20 pounds in the past 4 months and it makes me mad. 313 is no way to live when your not as strong as like McKim or Craig. So I am going to do my damndest to try to drop 10-20 in the next month or so.
Hang High Pull
135x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 365x5 (not very "high" but I need to get some heavy reps in)
Front Squat Super set with horizontal jumps over a bench for speed
135x5, 185x5, (225x5, 255x5, 275x5, 295x4 missed that last one, damn) x8 horizontal jumps after each set
Push Press Super Set with DB Incline
3x 185x6/90sx6
Hamstring Curls
3x10
DB Curls
3x8 @ 50, 60, 65

Went outside and got a few throws in, FINALLY!
HWFD x15 all around 30-32 with a pop (foul) at 37 and a fair one at 35. Feeling great about this upcoming year considering my PR before was 32.
WFH x10 each arm these felt good but I don't know how high they were going. Guess I'll find out soon enough!

15 minutes on the elliptical
Hang High Pulls
135x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 365x5 (These felt much better. 315 felt as though I could have dropped under and clean it easy...but I am not pushing my wrist quite yet.)
Front Squats/horizontal bench jumps
135x5, 185x5, 245x5/8, 265x5/8, 285x5/8, 305x4/8 (On my 4th rep coming out of the bottom the front of my quad kinda, i dont wanna say popped, but i felt something happen and i finished the rep with no pain. It was fine the rest of the workout but I am icing it now as it feels sore already. Wonderful.)
Push Press
135x5, 165x5, 195x5, 225x5 these felt great
Core
Maybe no squatting tomorrow haha
