Errrrrrr. Today was a weird training day. OHS were better this week until 175, that was really tough. The behind the neck jerk is no problem at all, but I've noticed that when I'm going down in the squat my right wrist feels really weak and it's hard for me to hold the bar overhead for more than a few seconds. It's hard to believe I actually did 185 rather easily at one point. OHS have always been one of my biggest weaknesses but I need to keep working on them because I want to be able to get 165-175 overhead in a snatch. Not sure why my right wrist has been giving me problems lately. The split jerks did not go as well as I wanted. I'm trying to get used to using the competition plates and mentally they just feel heavier. Every jerk felt heavy today. Then I clocked myself in the chin with 205 which was weird because I have never done that before on a split jerk. That actually hurt pretty badly and I had a headache the rest of the training session. I went for 205 again but I failed it because I was scared of hitting myself in the chin. I tried AGAIN and got it. I would have liked to get to 210 or even 215 but hitting myself in the chin sort of threw things off. The EMOM went really well, it was really the only solid part of my training session. Bar muscle ups were the fastest they have ever been, those are getting so much better. KB OHS are also getting better, Stephen told me to try the 60# KB and it actually wasn't too bad. The last piece was tough, I was pretty tired by this point. Butterfly pull ups felt really good but I had to come off the bar during the last set because my hands felt like they were going to tear. The first two sets weren't horrible but I was dead on the last set.
