SN 24kg 8/8 for 7 minutes - 112 total reps (last week 7/7, 98 total reps)

9:45am - Complete
Notes - Interesting day. It has been somewhat of a long week, being out of commission Monday evening, all of Tuesday with either food poisoning or some sort of stomach bug has thrown things off. PRs in the press with the DB 28kgs on Monday, PRs in the squat DB 28kgs on Wed, you would not expect some sort of PR in the snatch today and that definitely was not the case. I lost wind at about 5 minutes in. I did not want to reduce power or have bad reps and I was determined to focus on that and not the clock. So I took extra time to finish the last set but did so with good technique and maintaining power. I cannot have snatches that are bad reps, a poor lockout or loss of power really can cause me problems with the elbow, shoulder etc. It's just critical that I do not chase reps with the snatch, I just will not do it anymore unless it is a "true" timed SFG test to re-establish baselines (which I will not be doing that frequently). On a macro level, this was a good session and I got better - that's what matters. I also did have a shaky rep with the 36kg on the L side, roll to elbow still causing issues, can't keep my feet planted and this time it was both feet. Was able to steady the bell very well, good thing I have solid shoulder stabilization, and was not in jeopardy of missing the lift but was still pissed off. I really need to work on this side and doing it with more reps of the 32kg makes more sense probably than doing 36kgs. Just a little bit off on that side. All in all, good week of training, now rest and recovery for the weekend.
