I haven't been posting my workouts lately. Partially because it's felt like extra work, especially since I write them in a notebook anyway, and partially because I've had a case of "not enough"s lately. You know how that goes, right? "I'm not good enough, not strong enough, not fast enough" and on and on.
Fast forward to today. I hadn't worked out since Wednesday and I felt like a pile of human goo. I somehow got myself to the gym (three cheers for Scott, who is sick but was a most excellent coach), and I'm so glad.
First, 15 minutes of hip and shoulder stretches with bands. Then:
Snatch balance: 15x5, 35x5, 45x3 (got nervous here, ha), 40x5, 40x5 with a 30-second pause at the bottom, 45x5, 50x5 paused, 55x4
It was my first time doing these with anything but the training bar (my snatches are a joke you guys), and I had a breakthrough at 50 pounds. I finally stopped trying to push the bar up and focused on dropping fast and locking out. Really proud of myself.
2 high hang cleans + 1 hang clean: 55, 75
Then 2 sets of 2 high hang cleans at 75 and 3 sets of 2 high hang cleans at 75. Felt really good and fast on these.
Hang clean: 95, 110 (PR), 120(F)
YAY. I finally PRd my clean, and it felt so good. Getting 110 up to my shoulders was easy. Standing up was the pain in the ass.
I got too much in my head for 120. I tried twice and I pulled it high enough each time. I just didn't commit to getting under it. Next time!
Finished off with ~2000 meters of rowing. Scott was teaching me his ways He can row a 1:35 split like it's nothing. I'm both impressed and envious.
Man, it feels good to make progress.
