215 press x 1 x 2 , 22 kg snatches



Meh. This experiment was a success. My hypothesis failed. I thought going light on Monday would prime the pump, grease the groove, refine the timing.
It did, but it also tired me out much more than I thought it would

So now I know, Monday is not perfect but it's the  best of all possible worlds for training both heavy swings and heavy press in the same week.

The good news also is that the groove held! and the technique seemed fine, until I fatigued then I started pushing the bar forward.




Press
65 85 105 x 2
135 x 1
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1
205 x 1 decent( above) but not fast. groove was right tho
215 x 1 above
215 x X  x 2
215 x 7/8
215 x X
205 x 1
205 x X
205 x 7/8
205 x X

wow so out of it. But I was laying back well and bar path was good. I might  have had elbows too high up and elbows flared a bit too. Mainly that's from muscle fatigue

22 kg snatch
5 x 5/5

going to go back to 24 kg speed swings
I just like them better and don't feel like I'm fighting my overhead position at all

 Another decently strong one. Cool weather again and that helps.. Calves were tight, the only thing slowing me down 45 lb ruck 6 laps 3 mile...
