Tuesday's Re-evaluation of Goals

Constantly shooting for goals with very limited training cycles has led to mental and physical fatigue. Training has become a job and is much less enjoyable. I have spoken with my coach and we plan to back off a bit. A new goal of mid March has been set to shoot for CMS numbers. This will take some of the pressure off, and allow me to work through a long, slow training cycle. I am happy with this plan and hope it will bring back the fun.

Warm Up

Jerk(2x28kg) 7 minutes @ 8 rpm

10 minutes rest

Snatch(28kg) 6 minutes @ L 15/15/15 -----> R 15/15/15

OAJ(40kg) 8L/10R

OAJ(32kg) 15/15

Swing(40kg) 30/30 x 1

SLDL(24kg) 10/10 x1

Today, I stopped thinking about the finger lock during my snatch set and things went much better. I just let my CNS run the show, took my "ego" mind out of the set. Low and behold, I went the distance and used the finger lock for almost the entire set. Also re-introduced some single leg dead lifts as my surgically repaired knee is starting to get sore again. On previous occasions, the SLDL has taken care of the pain in the knee, but has made my medial gluts VERY sore.
