WORKOUT
Snatch, 8×2
Clean & Jerk, 8×2
Front Squats, 5×3, 401 tempo
.
Today was one of those days that tests your patience. I failed many of my Snatch attempts as you will see, but I ended up pulling it together and completed a few lifts at 115lbs, which is a 5lbs increase from my last session. My tailbone/L4 is still feeling great and my meniscus doesn’t hurt at all while lifting however as we all can see I tend to favour my good leg when coming out of the squat (left leg). The Clean & Jerk today was very challenging, I also increased the load by 5lbs which understandably would be more difficult. I failed a few of these attempts as well however I ran out of space on my memory card to show you these. One was kind of an epic fail! Haha, probably best I didn’t show it.
Nutrition
Today was Sunday and on the weekends I like to sleep in a little longer than 4am which results in one less meal during the day. However, today was supposed to be a carbohydrate loading day but I am going to push it off until my next weight lifting day which will be next Friday. For those of you who are wondering why I cycle my carbohydrates, I will get into my nutrient ratios at a later date.
