That is how a barbell should be snatched

Today's session was a bit of a masterclass in concentration skills. If you can lift with people hoovering beside you, sawing wood, walking in front of you, and sticking metal poles practically in your face you can lift anywhere.

Went to physio earlier to get the tight right shoulder seen to. Seemingly it is a bit of tendonitis in the subscapularis, possibly caused by a weak infraspinatus, so I've theraband exercised to do for that, will be taking Nurofen for the week, and getting massage on Saturday. However, I'm allowed to train normally, and apparently there's nothing structurally wrong with the shoulder, all should be fixable. Yay!

Monday 22nd June
Jerk warmup, foam rolling dodgy shoulder
Rack jerk: 2@35, 2@40, 2@45, 2@50, 2@54 x 3
Snatch warmup
Snatch: 2@34, 2@37, 2@40, 2@43 x 4 - no misses this week!
Power clean: 3@45, 3@50, 3@53 x 4
Back squats: 4@50, 2@60, 2@70, 2@78 x 3
DB press: 3 sets of 5

Rack jerks are improving a bit I think, but still a bit wobbly at the top of most of the 54s. Annoying but at some point I'll start hitting the timing right again. Feeling stronger overhead, anyway.

Snatches were very good - direct quote from the Butcher, whose praise must be earned. Power cleans also mostly good, apart from one set which was done with people literally wandering all over the platform I was trying to lift on. Squats are feeling nearly as strong as they used to. All in all, a good start to the week's training, especially considering the pandemonium and the torn callous.
