Mixed day today - missed some of my heavy snatches, but first time doing singles since before mumps. Turned out I wasn't holding my shoulders quite back enough - last snatch was very easy once I fixed that. Went slightly wider in my jerk grip, getting slightly better with these but lockout is still not as consistent as I'd like. Still, shoulder is not back to 100% yet and things should be a lot better when it is.

Friday June 27th
Snatch: 2@35, 2@38, 2@40 x 4
Power jerk: 3@25, 3@30, 2@35, 2@40, 2@45, 2@50, 2@53 x 3
C+J: 2@40, 2@45, 2@50, 2@53 x 3
Clean pulls: 2@53, 2@58, 2@63 x 4
Trap bar deadlifts: 3@bar+40, 3@bar+60, 3@bar+70 x 3

Light snatches day, they were fairly smooth. Added in some power jerks instead of usual push presses - doubles with 53 is good weight for me, getting happier again with weight overhead. Some were good, but still pressed out - there is a bit of a lack of consistency in my drive I think. Same with the C+J jerks. Got to keep working away at it till it comes back. Tiring day with all that lot. Kept clean pulls and the trap bar deads very light in order to not kill myself for 5 x 3 back squats day on Saturday.

Saturday June 28th
Power snatch: 3@30, 3@34, 3@37, 3@39 x 2, 2+1 miss@39 x 2
Snatch pulls from high hang: 3@39, 3@42, 3@45 x 4
Jerk from split: 3@25, 3@30, 3@35, 3@40 x 3
Back squat: 5@50, 5@60, 5@70, 5@75 x 3
Plank holds: 3 x 1 minute with 5kg plate

Nothing too notable here, back squats weight up again, this is where I was pre-mumps. Tough but doable. Hopefully can stick another couple of kgs on that next week.

Should have been doing power snatches from high hang but my torn callous is still in bits so compromised on power snatch from floor and then pulls from the high hang with straps. I shudder to think what sort of condition my hands would be in now with all this pulling without them.

Went for a massage after training, the right shoulder got a very good (and very painful) seeing to so hopefully it will be in good form for next week.
