7:35am - Complete
Notes - Body felt surprisingly good today given the travel this week. I am pleased because I think I am getting recovered, and again, the deload week is very good timing. The SWs with the 24kg were just so easy including the 1H which is a key indicator for me that I continue to get a lot stronger. I remember a time where the 1H with the 24kg felt a bit heavy. Not at all anymore. Would be excellent to get things to the point where the 32kg 1H felt like this in my hand. One thing I continue to watch is grip and R wrist though on the 1H SW. It is the one movement that can cause some minor discomfort which is why several weeks ago I went to a new technique for me where I do not let go of the bell at the height on the float, but rather keep a firm grip on the bell. This has eliminated the potential for the bell to take me for a ride or pull my arm/wrist on the re-grip, which in hindsight it may have been doing on some reps hence leading me to notice this potential wrist issue and devise a way to eliminate it (Kevin's suggest on the new technique). It is interesting because my grip doesn't feel as "deep" on the R hand on the bell as it does on the L. It is just not quite as "strong". I do not notice this same issue on presses, snatches, etc. I think some of the issue may be that I have a tighter R forearm, and shoulder position has been something I have been working with pretty hard on this R side too with mobility work, lacrosse ball etc. for several weeks. It is all connected. I think if I can get some of this tension released further, the grip on the R hand is going to follow on these 1H SW. Something I am working on.
