Change on last few weeks in this session - this is usually power snatches and behind the neck jerks and we've changed to snatch and rack jerk singles. This is usually a good training day, I'm sharp from previous day snatching but not exhausted from heavy cleaning and squatting.

This worked reasonably well. Snatches were nice and sharp. Missed 2 reps at the top weight, one overpulled and one underpulled. More practice with heavyish snatches will likely sort this out.

Rack jerks weren't great though, much shakier than those weights should be - again something's going wrong with the drive, still trying to figure out what. It might actually be a couple of things, Harry thinks I'm dipping too deep before I drive, which I probably am, and it also occurred to me late on that I might be driving from my toes, rather than my heels. If I could only get the same power in these as I am in my power jerks the numbers would be much, much better. I wonder if switching some jerk assistance exercises into my Monday's training might sharpen me up a bit for Tuesday's jerks. This is all most likely in my head, of course.

Cleans all fine, added another set of doubles on last week, and did another kilo on the front squat triples so the leg strength still seems to be coming along according to plan.
