Wed 3rd June: Character building

Tonight was tough. Was tired, lethargic, lower back stiff, knees felt tight and hands were beginning to blister from the humidity I think.

Snatch: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 84, 88, 93 miss, 93, 95, 97.5 (215 lb) for 3 singles.

Snatches were feeling very slow, tried to work on extension as I think I am not finishing and should be power snatching more. Everytime I snatch these days I just think about what I used to snatch and also what I am power cleaning at the moment which just leads to me becoming increasingly irritated. Lower back always stiffens up on snatches during this period of deadlifting and back squatting.

Clean and power jerk: 60, 84, 93 for 3 sets of 3.

I have always been poor at power jerk and Jim Power a 62kg lifter used to kick my ass.

Clean: 100, 125, 134 miss, 134, 134, 134 miss. 'WTF' would about sum it up.

Life is tough outside the gym at the moment, maybe it is playing on my mind.
