DOMS aplenty

Tuesday 11th August
Snatch: warmup sets, 2@42, 2@42, 1+miss@42, 2@42
Jerks from split: warmup sets, 3@35 x 4
Back squats: warmup sets, 2@80 x 3
Plank holds

A nice easy first session back after being sick. Snatches down 2kg from my usual doubles weight, but for first day back they were good and snappy, if a little wobbly at the bottom. Quads were asleep totally, doubles with 80kg were harder than 5s with 82 10 days previously.

On the other hand, the time off did wonders for my shoulder tendonitis - shoulder now feels like a normal shoulder again, so maybe it was worth it.

Wednesday 12th August
Snatch: 2@35, 1@37, 39, 41, 43, 45, miss@46 (locked out but caught higher on one side than the other, lost it), 46, 46, 46
Rack jerks: 2@35, 2@40, 2@45, 1@50, 54, 58, 61, 63, 63, 63, miss@63, 63
Cleans: warmup sets, 2@62 x 3
Front squat: warmups, 3@67 x 3

Good day today - snatching good singles at 46 with only one very close miss. Rack jerks were the heaviest I've jerked since April, and no lockout problems. Cleans and squats down a bit though.

Thursday 13th August
Power snatch: warmups, 2@42.5, 2@42.5, 2@42.5, miss@42.5
BTN jerks: warmups, 2@60 x 3
C+J: warmups, 2@58 x 3
Front squat: warmups, 2@67 x 2
Lat pulldowns 3 x 5

Another decent day - added a kilo to the BTN jerks and C+Js. Front squats feeling a bit easier, too.

Friday 14th August
Hang power snatch from high hang: warmup sets, 3@40 x 4
Light snatch: 2@35, 22@40 x 4
Snatch pulls: 2@44, 2@49, 2@54 x 4
Power jerks: warmups, 2@58 x 3
Power cleans: warmups, 3@58 x 4
Back squats: warmups, 5@76 x 3

A long day today, due to compressing most of what I normally do in three sessions into two. A really good day though - I made all 12 reps on the hang power snatches with 40 for the first time. Power jerks were apparently 'textbook', my timing on these is getting much better. Added weight to the power clean triples and got through that fine despite being pretty wrecked at that stage. Took it easy enough on the back squats, in order to not be too fatigued for Sunday.
