Competed for the first time in a long time, obviously not as far as I would have liked but I am optimistic that I am setting myself up to at least pb this summer. My runway was aweful which caused under hopping but considering I have barely done any jumping yet I'll take it. Missed the board by about 30cm on every jump. Had a couple that would have been about 13.60-13.70m. The farthest measure was 13.27m.
   I am going to spend the next four weeks pursuing my extraneous goal of power cleaning 300lb's. I am hoping that once I get it I'll be able to focus on jumping and not feel the need to spend so much time in the weight room. I could probably full clean it right now but power cleaning 300 is just something I've always wanted to do and I always have trouble tapering the weight volume in season because I never want to get too far from it as a goal. Once I get it once I will always be able to say (and show) that I did it. I have no desire to clean over 300 right now, maybe someday, but that will satisfy me

Another off day, will be getting up at 5:45am tomorrow and jumping at 3:45. I am just hoping that the meet is pain free and that I at least feel a spark of my former self. If I could jump over 13.50 I would consider that a win. Obviously that's nowhere near where I would like to be but I have done so little technical work and have been injuried for so long it would be a good start. 
   I am faster and stronger than I have ever been so hopefully that's worth something. I had a 5.50m hop in practice two weeks ago off a first phase pass so if I could control one around 5.30m I think that would be good for 14.00m, a 5.00m hop should still give me high 13's.

Light day, just a little bit of a stimulus. Everything is feeling pretty good. Knee is good too.

Felt kind of flat and lazy but by the third 30m acel I felt good. Tendonitits is acting up in my kness but beside that I feel good. Tomorrow there is supposed to be a big snow storm so it will force me to rest all day!

Low volume day, not as quick as I would have liked but I felt pretty flat from not doing anything intensive for a while. Knee was a little "achy". Tomorrow is off, Friday pretty light and Saturday hopefully a good technical session. I find it normally takes about a week from the start of a deload to really feel the effects, so hopefully by the time I test my fly next week.

Felt pretty good today, I am feeling a little bit more refreshed than I was last week. Nothing heavy today, just did some snatch balance to work on my catch position for the snatch and some light mobility work. My upper-mid back is tight. I was having trouble catching the weight and was definitely rounding in the bottom.

Off day, went to the gym to stretch and a short skate this evening. I got like 11 hours of sleep last night but still feel like I am do for another lengthy nap tonight. The hardest of the training is done. The next ten days will be pretty light before testing my fly 25m and then powerclean two days later. Then there will be another ten days where I just focus on getting competition ready.
Quick session, was pretty banged up but the last couple of five steppers were pretty focused

Pretty good day, the flys are still slow but it was definitely the most high quality volume I've been able to get in for one session. Normally I only get 2-3 runs in before there is a noticeable drop off in the times but today I got five good ones in. I am hoping to go sub 2.75 when I test in about two weeks time. Knee was good today. Cleans were pretty good, got a lot of volume in at 255lb's so hopefully when fresh I will be able to hit a pretty good max when I test, hopefully this isn't overly important right now.
