Time to get serious again

Friday 12th June
Snatch warmup
Power snatch: 2@30, 2@34, 2@37, 2@39 x 4
Power clean: 3@35, 3@40, 3@45, 3@50 x 4
Clean pulls: 2@50, 2@55, 2@60, 2@65 x 3
Back squats: 5@40, 5@50, 5@60, 5@65, 5@70 x 3

Still not back to full strength yet but improving. Feeling less shattered after training again, which is nice.

Saturday 13th June
Snatch warmup
Snatch: 2@30, 2@34, 2@37, 2@40, 2@42 x 4
Snatch pulls: 2@42, 2@45, 2@48 x 4
Split jerk: 3@25, 3@30, 2@35 x 4 (as usual, focusing on 'shock absorby' knees)
Push press: 3@40 x 3 (not feeling very strong overhead)
Front squat: up to one double at 55kg, easy squats due to wrecked legs

Not a bad day considering my legs were knackered from squatting. Hungry a lot, quads seem to be growing back. Good!

Monday 15th June
Snatch: 2@34, 2@37, 2@40, 2@43 x 3 (couple of misses)
Snatch pulls: 2@43, 2@45, 2@48 x 3
Power cleans: 3@35, 3@40, 3@45, 3@50, 3@52 x 3
Jerk: 2@35, 2@40, 2@45, 1@45 x 4

First day back to attempting the regular training regime. Good power cleans, but snatches could have been a little more consistent. Last set was the best. Jerks were awful, right shoulder has tightened up again and was stopping me getting a decent lockout. Physio needed!

Tuesday 16th June
Power snatch: 2@30, 2@34, 2@37 x 4 (not at all strong today)
Cleans: 2@37, 2@45, 2@49, 2@53, 2@57 x 4 (decent cleaning)
Clean pulls: 2@57, 2@62 x 4 (not the best, hard to get speed - so stuck with lightish weight)
Front squats: 2@50, 2@57, 2@62, 2@65 x 3 (easier than last week, but not as easy as it should be)
Skipped upper body auxiliary work as I'm not sure how good it'll be for this shoulder.

Wednesday 17th June
Rack Jerk: 3@35, 2@40, 2@45, 2@50 x 4
Snatch: 2@34, 2@34, 2@37, 2@40 x 4
Snatch pulls: 2@40, 2@45, 2@50 x 4
Front squats: 3@50, 3@55, 3@60, 3@65 x 3 (getting better)
Plank holds: 3 holds with 5kg

Was very pleased with jerks today - after a pile of foam rolling the offending shoulder, most specifically around the serratus anterior, was able to jerk pain free. Still going to the physio next week though.

Saturday 20th June - session 1
Power snatch from high hang: 3@25, 3@30, 3@34, 3@37 x 4
Split jerks: 3@25, 3@30, 3@35 x 4
Rack jerks: 2@35, 2@40, 2@45 x 2 (just a small bit, more jerks later)
Push press: 3@35, 3@40, 3@45 x 3 (again, didn't want to tire myself out for later)

Saturday 20th June - session 2
Snatch: 2@34, 1@37, 39, 41
Snatch pulls: 2@41, 2@45, 2@50 x 4
Rack jerks: 3@25, 3@30, 2@35, 2@40, 2@45, 2@50, 2@54 x 4
Clean pulls: 2@50, 2@55, 2@60, 2@65, 2@68 x 4
Back squats: 5@50, 5@60, 5@65, 5@70, 5@73 x 3
3 plank holds with 5kg plate

Again, foam rolling before jerking, they weren't too bad today. Session 2 did not go as planned because I ripped a callous on my snatch warmups, so taped it and did rack jerks, pulls and squats instead of the plan. Not sure why it ripped, I have been taking care of my callouses. Stupid hang power snatches must have weakened the skin :( Hopefully it will be OK to train on Monday with it taped up.
