7:35am - Complete
Notes - OK, a lot going on here to comment on. Let's start back before the training session. I had a really good chiropractic adjustment Wed evening, really freed up some tension in my R lower neck and lat that had surfaced after a massage on Tues evening. That was all good stuff, it is good it surfaced, I am doing a lot of soft tissue and mobility work these days working through this chiropractic series to get better extension in my neck. A lot is going on as I said. Been dealing with flu like symptoms all week, very sore throat the main issue. I got some extra rest last night, and aside from the flu stuff really felt energized and ready to go. Oh - it has been in the 20s here weather-wise and today I got to snatch in 25 degree weather (I do all of my training outside my house under my Courage Corner canopy). I changed my KB warm up slightly to subtract Pull Overs and insert SL DLs per suggestion of my RKC friend Ross. This was a good idea as it will help me do some SL DLs at varying loads every single day. TGUs were excellent today, the best I have done with the 32 and the 36kg. Felt really strong, technique improving. Roll to elbow still a challenge, really have to get tight and pull with that arm on the ground, but improving. Snatching - I am stopping myself from saying anything other than this was a PR for the time, got 142 total reps, 8 better than last week, so the CPA in me notes the 5% improvement - not bad for one week and I am not at 100%:) Strong reps, I look forward to continuing to build on this. My pace was very good at 8/8 really for the first 7 minutes. My goal is to hit that pace for all 10 mins, 160 reps, and then try to build from there. I am not that far off - striking distance. As far as the hands no issues but afterwards I did see a small blister start to form on my L pinkie callous. Time to get that cleaned up this weekend with the pumice stone, etc. Good week, very good week.
