Let us not speak of snatches...

Wednesday 1st July
Snatch warmup
2@35, x 2, 1@38, 1@4, 1@44, miss@46 x 2, miss@44, call it a day
Snatch pulls: 2@44, 4@49, 2@53 x 4
Behind the neck jerks: 2@35, 2@40, 2@45, 2@50, 2@54, 2@57 x 4
Front squat: 3@45, 2@55, 2@65, 2@70 x 3
Lat pulldowns: 3 x 5
DB press: 3 x 5

So, bit of a disaster on snatches, supposed to be heavy singles day but just not there today - blame fatigue. This is at the end of a few good heavy weeks of training so no surprise really. Sleep has also been in shorter supply than I'd like. It'll be fine again after a recovery week next week.

Shoulder was sore - I had physio on it on Tuesday - but behind the neck jerks proved no problem, likely due to the wider grip. 57kg doubles is the heaviest I've ever done on these, so not weak overhead anymore.

Friday 3rd July
Snatch warmup
Snatch (light doubles day): 2@34, 2@37, miss x 2@40, 2@40, miss+1@40
Power jerk: 3@25, 3@30, 2@35, 2@40, 2@45, 2@50, 2@55, 2@54 x 3
C+J: 2@35, 2@40, 2@45, 2@50, 2@55 x 4
Clean pulls: 2@55, 2@60, 2@65, 2@70 x 4
Trap bar deadlifts: 3@bar+50, 3@70, 3@90 x 3

Another ropy snatch day, missed half my work reps at what should be very manageable weight. Tired. Both power jerks and C+Js were great though, no shoulder pain, it seems to have loosened out a lot now.

Saturday 4th July
Snatch warmup
Power snatch: 3@25, 3@29, 3@33, 3@36, 3@39, 1+miss+1@39, 1+miss+1@39, 3@39
Snatch pulls from high hang: 3@39, 3@42, 3@45 x 4
Jerk from split: 3@25, 3@30, 3@35 x 4
Back squat: 5@50, 5@60, 5@68, 5@73, 5@77 x 3
Plank holds: 3 1 minute holds with 10kg plate

Yet again power snatch misses that shouldn't have been - some reps were very good though. Just need to be more consistent with the speed on the second pull. Usual light jerks from split, working on landing lightly and using knees to absorb shock rather than arms - all fine. Sore shoulders, but just DOMS from Friday.

Upped weight on back squats again, leg strength seems to be coming along nicely, which is the main point of training at the moment - and it's already starting to show in all the C+J related lifts so I'm well pleased.
