Bring it on

Last 10 days have basically all been extended taper, with one or two slightly heavier sessions in to keep sharp.

Wednesday 15th April:
Power snatch to a 42kg single
C+J to a 60kg single
Scap work and abs, foam rolling
All OK but pretty light.

Thursday 16th April:
Snatch to 47kg, 3 close missed with 48kg
Rack jerk to 60kg, 2 misses with 63kg
Not a great day, just not sharp at all. Shoulder not feeling it on the jerks, it keeps tightening up on me (probably due to the rotator cuff/scap retractor work I've been doing to keep the supraspinatus happy). Need to keep on top of the stretching/mobility.

Saturday 18th April:
Snatch: 2@34, 2@37, 1@40, 42, 44, 46, miss@47 x 2, 47, 48
C+J: 1+2@35, 1+2@40, 1@45, 50, 54, 57, 60, 62, 64
Scap work, abs
Shoulder was happy today, all good. Missed 47 on the snatch a couple of times due to being slow on the extension, but the 47 and 48 were easy when I got them. C+J reasonably smooth.

Monday 20th April:
Light day, just snatch to 40 and C+J to 53

Wednesday 22nd April:
Snatch: 2@35, 1@38, 40, 42, 44
C+J: 1+2@35, 1@40, 44, 48, 51, 54, 57
Front squat: to a 65kg single
Slightly heavier day just to try and sharpen up for Seniors on Saturday... don't want to forget what heavy weights feel like! Shoulder tight again, that'll learn me not to stretch enough.
Scap work and stretching

Thursday 23rd April: very light snatch to 3 34kg doubles, and a couple of 45kg C+J singles.
Gym full of paint fumes again just for extra fun.

Seniors Saturday, then back to some proper decent training. I feel rested again anyway.
