Today started off okay-to-poor. I went to the track this morning to do some full approach runs and first phase pass. The weather was cold and the wind was strong/cycling. I wanted to work on take-off and hop mechanics but was limited by the volume I could do. I was planning on 2 runs without first phase pass and six with but knee was starting to get agitated so I shut it down after four passes. They were... Okay. I obviously wasn't going at 100%, probably more like 90% since I'm till pretty dampened from Monday's squats. The runway itself didn't feel great, not much push out the back but it something I'll work on more on Monday when I time the runs. I was sinking my hips to prep for take-off and had an obtuse shin angle on some of the take-offs.
   Things in the weight-room went very well! I wanted to get 2x175lb's for power-snatch and I ended up getting 2x185lb's! I probably could have went higher too if I wasn't jumping this weekend. I'm pretty pumped, especially since this is only my third session doing them. Definitely good for 200lb's+ if I was doing an 1RM.

The Good

  • BIG snatch pb!
  • Runway was fairly consistent  
  • Started to get a rhythm on the runway

The Bad
  • Runways were slow
  • Sunk hips
  • Knee is a little sore afterwards
