First deload day. I am feeling rally tired and rundown so the weightroom stuff is going to be frustratingly light over the next week. I will be playing things by ear somewhat but basically I'm going to try to keep my lifts under 80% for the most part.

I was able to triple jump today for the first time this season, I went off of three steps and worked mostly on fixing my arms during the hop phase so I can get both arms swinging during the step. No pain per se but still some instability. My knee still hurts when I doing a standing one leg squat to about parallel so I'm not out of the woods yet but things are moving in the right direction.

Today was god, my knees held up. Couldn't clean 285 but it was a long day so I'm not too disappointed. I'm hoping to hit 290 next week. Glad the knee is feeling a little better. I feel like my knee is starting to come around. The original tear isn't bothering me but I'm still dealing with tendonitis around the knee cap.

Definitely feeling pretty run down. I cut the first workout--wassn't feeling great. Squats were good, hit two pb's but I think it's because my ROFD is dwindling from fatigue. Cleaning 255 was a stuggle which is 25lb\s list than what I hit on Monday. Knees were a little better today

Knee was a bit tiff but overall pretty good. I am very rundown at the moment, running on fumes. No more weights till Monday, I'm getting stronger but I really want to hit 300 in the clean at the end of the block so I can move on and work on more specific jumping.

Pretty good days, some pb's on the front side of things and pretty close on the cleans, sb. I think that if I can get 285lb's-290lb's during this training block I'll be able to get 300 at the end of the block when I deload. I caught 280 today but I couldn't stand up with it, pretty close but squat strength is still the limiting factor.

Both sessions today started off but got better as they went on. Snatch this morning was pretty flat but I managed to get 195 and was really close at 200lb's. If I can hit 205lb's in this training block I'll know I'll be ready for 215lb's or more went I deload.
   Cleans started off frustrating. I completely dropped the bar on one of my sets of cleans, and nearly dropped it on myself. I was having trouble adjusting my grip. Barely got 265lb's but then when I dropped it back down to 235lb's and widened my grip I started to lift better. I hit 270lb's, I really want to get 300lb's, I'm close, could probably hit at least 285lb's if I deloaded so when I deload at the end of the training block it could go either way.

Still "in the gutter" nervous system wise but felt a little better than I was earlier in the week. The sprints are absolutely aweful, but that's just a biproduct of squatting every day.

Felt pretty drained again, the afternoon session was a little better but the morning clean and jerk was pretty bad, failed some 215lb's. My goal at the end of this training block is to hit a 215lb snatch, 245lb clean and jerk and 300lb clean, so I can't get too far ahead of myself, I just need to keep focusing on getting better step by step

Kind of a frustrating day, I felt really good snatching until I got to my "last set" I wouldn't to get one more set at 185lb's, I had been pulling well to start of with, but I guess I started to get tired because I tried and failed about 10 times after my fifth set. I had a little bit of one of my classic weight-room breakdowns after the session.
   The evening workout was a little smoother. I failed my last set of 265lb's but I was pretty drained from the morning. This week's focus is on volume, so I am trying to get as many high intensity sets as I can.
