Snatch day ,one day early.




Have to go out of town tomorrow at the last minute and decided to squeeze my snatch workout in today. Very late start and in a very fasted state but knew I needed to get this done. Just had remind myself that I had trained very hard yesterday and to go slowly, one rep at a time. Can't get tweaked before this weekend.Way too much travel to deal with that as well.

Snatch
16 kg x5/5 x2
20 kg x5/5 x 5 sets
24 kg x 5/5 x 5 sets
20 kg x5/5 x 5 sets

150 total reps
100 with 20 kg
50 with 24 kg

Finally got at least some 24 kg snatches done in my garage at the end of a workday, although I don't think doing snatches as the next workout after presses is the best sequence. Since my press day will be a progressive one, and my snatches will not go higher than the 24 kg I think I need to go back to volume swings with medium weights on Wednesday or Thursday after a Tuesday press workout and do heavy swings( one or two hands) on Saturdays as well as 24 kg snatches.

I just have to accept the fact my total snatch numbers will be lower than if I devoted an entire workout to just snatches


datsit:) ) Off to New York tomorrow to escort Tracy to tape an episode of the Dr Oz show to promote Tim Ferriss's book the Four Hour Body ! Crazy stuff.

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
