29.7.2014: Week 5, Day 2

Please don't talk to me

Work

Power Snatch: 3x(40, 44), 2x(46, 50, 50, 50)

Power Clean + Power Jerk: (1+1)*(52, 52, 55, 60, 60)

OHS: 2x(64, 64, 64, 67, 70)

Core

Rollouts: 3x8

No conditioning because illness. 

Today was good all around. My form only faltered on my last rep of the power snatches, so the weight was adequate. I could've gone heavier on the cleans and jerks. I pushed it on the OHS because I'm trying to build confidence for my snatch. 

The only annoying part about today was this asshat dudebro (who is a trainer there!) who kept trying to start a conversation with me about which of the women at the gym he wanted to "fuck sideways" and how his friend is "so deep in the friendzone there's not chance of escaping". Like, he tried to chat with me while I was setting up to snatch. What a dingus! I did not need his casual misogyny this morning.

I’ve returned to the capital from Eastern Finland. We were SO far east that my uncle’s summer house is 300m away from Russian territory - thankfully, Russia begins on the other side of the lake.

What’s new? My sibling will move to France with their girlfriend this autumn. If I only have time while working on my final year at university (and if not I’ll make time), I’ll take the bus to London, travel across the canal and visit them. Really nice.

…But boy, do I need to brush up my French skills! Mon Dieu.. it’s going to be interesting.
